1. Do Some Trim Work First

, If it’s been awhile since you shaved your bikini line, it can be helpful to do some trim work first. You can use a pair of men’s trimmers or even a pair of scissors to cut away the excess hair. This helps you see better when it finally is time to shave. It’s also easier on your razor. You don’t have to take time to try to rinse yucky hair clumps.

2. Soften up with a Soak

white, photograph, black, black and white, image, It’s easier to shave when your skin is soft. One of the best ways to make sure it’s soft is to soak in the tub for a little while first. If you’re more of a shower girl then that can work too. Do everything you need to do in the shower first then shave. Soft skin is less likely to become razor burned.

3. Exfoliate

face, skin, head, mouth, finger, Exfoliating before shaving is a good idea. It helps with any dryness and gives your razor a smoother surface. Skin can be a bit rougher in the creases so exfoliating becomes extra important. I try to exfoliate each time before I shave. You can use a washcloth to do the job or try a fresh smelling sugar scrub.

4. Use a Fresh Razor

nail, finger, pink, nail care, manicure, You always want to change your razor regularly, of course. But whenever you’re shaving your bikini line, it’s good to use a new one. The bikini line involves shaving around the curves of your body. You’re always more likely to cut yourself around areas that involve curves such as your knees, ankles and bikini line. Using a dull razor raises the risk.

5. Choose a Soothing Shaving Cream

finger, close up, mouth, hand, leg, All shaving creams aren’t created equal. Some are better at giving you an even surface to shave than others. Some are also less irritating to your sensitive skin than others. Aveeno is a good brand to try when it comes to shaving cream for sensitive skin. If your skin is too sensitive for even that then try Dove body wash. That works well for my daughter, whose skin falls under the extremely sensitive category.

6. Apply a Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin

hair, clothing, blond, leg, mouth, It’s always good to apply a moisturizer after you shave. It helps to soothe the skin and prevent irritation and razor bumps. Lubriderm and Eucerin are both brands with products that’re very gentle to your skin. You only want to apply the tiniest bit of lotion, though. Getting lotion in your vaginal area could lead to an infection so use sparingly.

7. Wear Breathable Panties

clothing, lingerie, undergarment, red, blond, As sexy as silky panties are, leave them in the drawer the day you shave your bikini line. They’re not breathable and can exaggerate any irritation you may be developing. On the flip side, cotton panties are a breathable fabric and can reduce any building irritation. If you’re just hanging at home in pjs or something, going completely without underwear can be the best choice of all. Freshly shaved skin benefits from air.

8. Choose the Right Razor

clothing, fashion, leg, finger, Sometimes we like to stick with what we know, but if you check out the shave aisle at your local store, you'll see there's a ton of options on the market nowadays. They even make special bikini trimmers and razors to be extra groomed. Find whatever works for you and go with it.

9. Shave Right

human action, person, human positions, sitting, muscle, You might not believe it, but there is a wrong way to shave; especially when it comes to the already sensitive bikini area. Shaving with the hair as opposed to against the hair will ease the process and prevent ingrown hairs that could become infected or irritated. Also, do not apply too much pressure as this is more likely to cause nicks and cuts that will also cause unwanted irritation and pain.

When it comes to shaving the bikini area, it is important to use a sharp razor and shave in the direction of the hair growth. This will help to reduce irritation and the risk of ingrown hairs. It is also important to use a shaving cream or gel that is specifically designed for sensitive skin. This will help to reduce the risk of razor burn and other skin irritations. Additionally, it is important to always rinse the area with cold water after shaving to reduce irritation and inflammation. Finally, make sure to apply a moisturizer after shaving to keep the skin hydrated and healthy.

10. Exfoliate between Shaves

face, hair, pink, woman, beauty, Just like exfoliating before you shave is a great tip, so is exfoliating between shaves. This also prevents dead skin cells from making their way into your pores and causing ingrown hairs. There are even exfoliating pads you can buy that are said to reduce the prickly feeling and the hair grows back, allowing you to not shave so often, which also irritates the skin.

These 10 tips can help you to shave your bikini line when you suffer from super sensitive skin. Is shaving an issue for your skin? What products work well for you?
