    I agree with PP about just going for the wax! It hurts (some areas worse than others) but you won't regret it. It's quick & the pain is over about as quick as it starts.

    I purchased an ingrown hair serum from the place I go (I also get my eyebrows, lip & underams waxed there - the serum will work for all those spots) & have not had any problem with ingrown hairs, itchy re-growth or anything.

    My only words of advice would be to go to a reputable place. You don't want just anyone/any place to do it!

    Wait, wait, okay, here's a question for the folks who said they wax themselves...what type do you use? I tried it a couple of weeks ago with a home wax kit, and it didn't work great...my pink bits ended up all patchy and weird. I've been considering going to have it done professionally, but don't really have the loot to keep up that kind of look.

    My understanding is that sugaring doesn't hurt as much as waxing. Not that waxing is all that painful.

    Be careful with the hair removal products like Veet. There are some very sensitive areas down there and that stuff can cause burns if you aren't super careful.

    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 just love "lady garden" lol

    Waxing isn't so bad - after the first few seconds. Doing daily maintenance shaves keeps things smooth and bump free too

    Shave with the grain. NEVER against. Ever.

    Though your phrasing confuses me. Did you expect that to shrink..?

    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.
