Shave Bumps Anyone?

Question

How do you not get these imbarrassing guys because I have tried every trick out there like deoderant,etc., & I still get them on the inner part of my thigh.

I use the Venus disposable for sensitive skin & they worked really well for a while but now, I can only use the razor once before I have to throw it away.

Also, I have tried shaving downward & i get left with this peach fuzz kind of stubble & still break out.

Thank you guys for all of your answers!

Answer 1

stop shaving there duh! There's hair there for a reason.

Answer 2

If you are subject to shave bumps, like me, the best thing to do is use a good, single blade razor and shave gel. The multiblade razors pull the skin taught and cuts just below the surface of the skin. Thick or curly hair will sometimes get trapped below the surface of the skin, causing an ingrown hair... a razor bump.

When possible trying waxing, or a delipatory, such as Nair.

I used to get them until I started really exfoliating before shaving. Get in a hot bath because when you shave when you are cold your pores close. Then get a pair of exfoliating gloves you can get them at walmart or target, these work best for me. Then use a mild soap like dove that doesnt dry out your skin and work into a later getting your whole leg scrubbed up, rinse. After that, use a good thick shaving cream, any works well for me. While all this is happening be sure to have the razor in the warm water this will get it nice and warm to start shaving, then shave; then right when you get out, put on a good thick lotion like cetaphil, I use this right after I shave and my legs feel soooo smooth. Dont use a heavy purfumed cream like victoria secret because it will cause irritation on freshly shaven legs. I start using that a couple of days after I shave, so that my legs have had time to heal.Hope this helps!

Answer 4

The trick with shaving to to shave in the direction the hair grows. When you shave against the grain, you get irritation and bumps on sensitive areas.

In those spots you need to drag the razor in a downward motion and you should be fine.

Peace!

Answer 5

try a better quality razor and warmer water to lather yourself up with.

i'm male, and shave in the shower where the steam wets the stubble, making it nice and soft enabling an easy smooth shave. rinse the blade after every few strokes.

round up with a good emolient. vitamin e or a bland moisturizer.

Answer 6

Use an electric razor - right now you're peeling off too much of your skin, causing the skin to be irritated, causing hair to grow back thicker (b/c it senses resistance b/c you skin is now thickening b/c you keep irritating it) and also causing ingrown hairs. You want a razor that's not going to chew up your soft parts.

For legs I use a conditioner and a regular razor - heres the link;

For other girly parts I use this electric razor b/c it won't chop me up;
