    Default bikini area

    OK I am in MN so I don't worry about that area most of the year and I haven't done any thing for about 6 years cuz I havn't worn a bathing suit for that long. Well I have lost weight and what to wear a suit now.

    So for those that shave,wax,or what ever, what do you do that you like. And how do you keep from getting bumps.


    TIA

    I guess I am fortunate that I don't get bumps. I just shave the area with soap and water or shaving cream (if I've been lucky enough to get some for free or next to nothing). I do shave every day, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

    I pluck and I get bumps but they seem to go away faster as long as I do it gently enough, and the hair doesn't grow back so fast

    I shave- I make sure to use a new blade with good shaving cream (I like the Gelette Egde- mens). I also make sure to put lotion on afterwards.

    I found the absolute best product created for thaose annyoing razor/wax bumps you get in your bikini area or legs!! Its called Tend Skin. The product was intially suggested by my dermatologist and I have recommended it to both my female and male friends. For more info go to: http://tendskin.com

    I shave with a sharp razor and always put lotion on. I think my skin is so used to it, that I don't get bumps anymore.lol
