I'm almost 19 and have been shaving my pubic hair for years. It's a pain because it leaves red bumps and comes back within days. What do you do to keep that area neat and clean looking? I know there are bikini waxes but I'm far too shy to go through with that. Help!

You can keep it nice and trimmed. Waxing would be your best bet for ingrown hairs or stubble, but there's no way I'd do that myself. I can use a razor for the bikini line, but I never wear a bathing suit anymore, so it really doesn't matter.
Are you sexually active? If not, why does it matter? If so, perhaps your partner(s) would appreciate if you didn't look like a little girl (not in the good way) down there.

Go to any drugstore or supermarket and buy a waxing kit, there are all kinds. I prefer the waxing strips, you don't have to heat them other than maybe run it under the tap water for a minute...then prop your leg up and wax near the thigh area, in the crease and work your way towards the butt..however trim the hair if it's too long, or else it will hurt! (should only be 1/4 inch hair growth I believe. Do the area that is well below the navel area... thekits come with a sking soothinglotion, rub it on after ( very importante) I sometime cut the strips into smaller squares, it makes it easier.. it really is thebest way to go bc you have privacy and you can take as much hair off as you want

I know exactly where you are comming from. I used to shave all the time until I just became so fed up with the pain and bumps. Honestly, let it grow. It is there for a reason. Pubic hair helps trap odors and protects your vagina. One thing I would suggest is just keeping it trimmed. They have special electric trimmers for those areas. You can find them at Wal-Mart usually. If you just can't stand the thought of having hair down there at all, try shaving only once a week, that should cut down on the irritation. Make sure you use a good shaving cream and a razor with a lubricating strip. Good luck. I hope this helps!

Actually I prefer girls to have some pubic hair. The whole bald look is overrated and makes you look like a little girl! Big turn off but so many girls are shaving it all off these days. I think it's more of a fashion trend. Are there any girls left out there that just let it grow like it's supposed to??

Use a shaver. That way the hair stays trim, short and clean. Don't try shaving the whole thing off, it'll just itch too much when it comes back. Instead trim it with the shaver.

Pre-shower i put on Nair for about 5 minutes. Then hop in the shower, wash it off and off comes the hair! No pain, no mess, it's great. Then I follow up with a bikini zone gel to soothe it. Good luck!

When did women start worrying so much about pubic hair? You're humans, not barbie dolls. I have a hairy one. Who really cares?

I use a dipliatory cream, like Neet or Nair. Seems to work better and lasts longer. No red bumps either!

I use Nair before I get in the shower and then after done showering, I put on Summer's Eve lotion. No bumps and you can find that stuff in every grocery stuff, and inexpensive!
