I shave. I use a shaving cream called "couchy cream" and it works great! If you shave about once a week within about a month you will no longer get the rash. Also putting baby oil on will help it not get itchy because it will soften the skin so the hair doesn't have as hard of work to push back through and you'll also get less ingrown hair though I still normally get one.... but they are never bad and are easy to deal with

I wouldn't' use cream... I've heard that burns the more sensitive areas from a friend of mine

I also use the coochy cream. It's amazing!

Coochy is great, and there's an after-spray too. But seriously, man up and get waxed. So much better than all the things.

Laser hair removal, if it's in your budget...lot's of Groupons and Living Social coupons for it as well...Not too painful:)

On the contrary, I think laser hair removal hurts like crazy!!! I had it done on my chin and not only did it do nothing for me (I swear there is MORE hair than before and my sister agrees) but I ended up with a swollen, lumpy Jay Leno chin after each appointment and a week's worth of icing. Horrible. Perhaps the salon I had the Groupon for wasn't the most skilled or something but if so, they put on a legit front.

However, to be fair, my mom had a very good experience with laser hair removal. She didn't find it extremely painful and was happy with the results. I'm a bit jealous.

perhaps you are all right, I should man up and just get waxed!

I'm scared of walking like a cowboy afterwards though!

I'm having enough problems with my armpits at the moment! I suddenly have a massive hollow in them and having problems getting in!

I find I have the best results when I use a new, 4 edged razor and loads of shaving cream. I can't bring myself to have it waxed off (the cost prohibits me since it only lasts a couple of weeks and you have to have it grown out enough before you can have it done again, meh). I've heard a lot of conflicting opinions on laser treatment down there - first hand accounts of people getting scarred, of it being painful, of the hair still coming back, etc.

Sooo....I just decided to take care of it myself, often. Convenient, cheap, and once you get the process down - you'll see how to avoid the dreaded razor burn and in-grown hairs.

You won't. You'll be a little tender in the bruised way for a little bit after if it's your first time but honestly, you'll be fine. Don't go full brazilian for your first time, either. Just don't. lol.

Ha ha! like hell! full brazillian, that made me laugh loads, I'm scared to go bikini line let alone the Iot.

It's been a pleasure reading everyone's thoughts and tips, some very very useful information there and lots of it made me laugh loads!

You won't walk like a cowboy. It seriously only hurts for a second and then the pain is gone. And NO ingrown hairs.

If you have a good salon technician, and they can do the wax fast, then the pain is minimal. I had a very good one, but one time she was on vacation and I went to someone else..... yikes. After than I only went to the good one. The cost did get prohibitive, so I tried a wax at home kit. No way, couldn't do it. So now I just clip it short with a trimmer. Do not use the chemical cream hair removers..... that burns and burns and burns, hurts way worse than waxing even with the less good salon person.

I got waxed a couple of weeks ago for the first time. Holy mother it was painful....but AWESOME. I went to Cancun right after and didn't have to shave or worry ONE time. I also bought some in grown hair preventitive type gel stuff and so far so good. I booked another wax for 3 weeks after my first and it isn't supposed to be as painful. We're talking, my shirt was soaked through with sweat. I just told myself that tons of women WAY less tough than me made it through so I'm not wussing out.

I shave. It looks a bit odd if i go in and ask for a brazilian.

Its like shaving a bag of marbles. You ladies think you're worried about slipping and it hurting, we feel like Ethan Hunt in mission impossible!

dun dun duh duh

Actually, the place where I'm getting my sugaring done this weekend offers Brazilians for men.

wax on, wax off, hair gone.

I use a hard wax, the kind that doesn't need strips. When you apply the wax, it hardens, then you can rip it off just like if you had a strip.

folica.com and for $59 you can get the Satin Smooth wax kit which includes sticks, strips, regular wax, all the hair prep and soothing lotions, and the warmer. Then look for the Satin Smooth Citrus Mojito thin hard wax pot.

The regular wax you can use for your legs with the strips, and the hard wax, use for your lady bits. Use the prep oil, I swear it helps get more of the little hairs.

Sign up for their mailing list, they will let you know when they have a sale, and give you coupons. I waited and used a 20% off coupon for the kit, a pot of hard wax, and got free shipping.

I wax about every 2-3 weeks, and just went thru my first pot of hard wax after a year.

If you are getting a wax and worried about the pain, have the person pull the strip off as you breathe out. It hurts less, and surprisingly a lot of the waxers either don't know this breathing trick or they aren't taught it.

The risk is worth the reward;)

I trim with scissors about twice a year (when I'm sick of the hair getting clotted during ToM). Mostly, I leave it alone.

I've had brazilians....yes they do hurt, but what do you expect! It's a quick pain and it goes away. However, if you're prone to ingrowns with shaving, waxing probably won't solve that problem. You could try laser if you want to permanently get rid of it; there is some pain involved there, but similar to waxing, it goes away quickly.

What the hell has happened! I have hit my target weight! everything has shrunk except "that area" ha ha!

No seriously! instead of having the nice little triangle I now have a wild undergrowth there!

I did once trim and shave (last time I was slim) but got a rash and ingrowing hairs! yuk!

I can just about cope with my eyebrows being waxed so that is a no go for me down there! think I would hit the roof and cry for a week.

What do you all do? how often? how do you cope with itchy?

I need to do something! Quick! it's not a cute look with this body!

I'd need to see before offering any useful suggestions.
