girls - shaving tips!

[amature_babe]

Hollywood/brazillian waxing is expensive in the uk so i can rarely afford to get myself waxed, however i like to have pretty much everything hairless.
Does anyone have any shaving tips?
It seems i can only ever shave then wait 'till it all grows back, a decent length, before i can do it again, If i dont it hurts and bleeds.
Could it be that im shaving the wrong way or does that happen to everyone?
any help would be great!!

I've been shaving mine for almost 6 years now, can't stand hair.

I use conditioner instead of soap or foam, and afterwards, I put some tea tree on to stop any red bumps.

I shave about every 2 days, very rarely, it hurts and bleeds, when it does I just power through it and put more tea tree on it.

Perhaps not the best advice... x

no thats great advice thankyou!

i don't shave it all off very often ... usually leave a bit there for personal hygiene and aesthetic reasons ... but i have gone totally smooth inside, outside and backside. either way, i find witch hazel (dirt cheap product) will work well to soothe skin. we have a product here called bikini zone...i love it, works great (has witch hazel in it and some other skin conditioners.) more expensive than just plain witch hazel but you don't need much.

don't spend too much time in the shower...or wetting your skin...beforehand; it only serves to swell it, making it harder to get a close shave ergo making stubble appear sooner. shaving against the direction of hair growth will mar and razor burn skin. make sure your razor is brand spankin’ new and extremely sharp every time you shave. sharp blades make for less damage to skin and remove coarse hair much better than a blade used even just once before. i like the triple and quadruple bladed ones that pivot on curvy areas.

there are also home kits for waxing.

and dilapatories like nair and neet here in the US...similar products across the pond, perhaps?…they can be harsh on sensitive areas, though…and whatever you do DON’T get any up inside

I either use a depilatory cream (Veet do a nice bikini kit one that's slightly less harsh) or shave, and I have to do it every two days too.

The conditioner idea is a good one, as it will make your skin softer and prevent the razor from nicking you as much. I use tee tree oil on any nicks and use a razor with those little strips of aloe vera just above the blade which glide a bit better. Alwas shave in the direction of the hair growth and never against (cos apart from stinging like a bitch it also makes you cut yourself more).

Use a good moisturiser on the skin around the area (but not anywhere near your delicate ladybits) something with shea butter in it would be good.
