The bumps are cause from running the razor over the area several times and irritating the skin.. make sure your razor is new every time so it will be sharp and reduce the number of times you have to pass it over the same spot. also get a very good moisturizing soap and an (after shaving) moisturizer. Another alternative is a depilatory cream such as Nair or veet, there will be no razor burn or bumps at all this way but it can cause a chemical burn so test an area of skin first for sensitivity first. hope this helped.

I would suggest using hair removal lotions or cremes like Nair instead of shaving down there. Just make sure that you don't leave it on too long otherwise it might burn you. Just follow the directions carefully and you will be fine. If you must use a razor down there make sure that you use shaving cream like skintimate or something like that. Then apply lotion when you are done. I have also found that mens shaving cream works good too. Howevever for whatever reason men's shaving cream can be more drying to your skin than women's so make sure that you use lotion afterwards.

You have to shave often, use a product called Tend skin it helps stop razor bumps and use a shaving foam or gel for sensitive skin.
Also don't go a week without shaving, I wait 4 days max, you may have to shave everyday or every other day.
It depends on how fast your hair grows.

Also you might want to wait until the end of a shower, less bumps and never use a dull razor. Any kind of shaving cream should work just be careful, and use lotion if you need to. If that doesn't work, either wax, or don't go bare.

Use something as a lubricant, so that your skin is protected and the blade cuts more smoothly. I suggest hand or body soap, maybe lotion or somekind of body cream. There might also be shaving cream for this. Don't worry, I have bumps too. It's just new hairs growing.

I think you should wash the area you are about to shave with mild water so it can open your pores and make shaving more closer then before, then after you are done shaving put cold water on that area, and apply lotion for softness.

They make creams for that, to get rid of the bumps and irritation. Different people use different creams. Always try a little on a small part of skin. Just in case you might be allergic.

I get bumps too, and what works for me is using lotion after I'm done shaving.

i find using conditioner rather than shaving cream helps. also try waiting till the end of your shower so the hair is softened up. i also use moisturizer after, but.. umm externally only though.
