I only recently started doing this, and it started with a Brazillion Wax, but now I shave it myself. It's been about 5 months and I do love it, as does my H. BUT, I find it irritating after sex, and embarrassing as it might be, I got a really irritating yeast infection to the point where it burned so bad all the time. That went away after about a week, but now I'm kind of scared to have hot and heavy sex, or to even let him go down there... Anyone have suggestions to keep it this way but to minimize or eliminate the irritation, or do I just live with it or grow it back or what or am I the only one experiencing this, lol? Thanks for any insight.
I always wax, and there's no irritation at all. If you don't want the expense of going to the friendly neighborhood waxologist every 4-6 weeks, they do have some home waxing stuff around. I've never tried it, but it may be a good solution. Shaving was always bad for me - okay for like 1-2 days, then irritation and annoyance.
i use that stuff wherever...vag,legs,underarms,etc. it works for me and i stay smoother longer than I would with shaving.
just remember BLUE bottle...sensitive formula until you're sure your skin type can handle the regular formula. the regular one gave me chemical burn on my tender girly bits so i learned my lesson on that one.

Thank you!!! I shave and I have to every night and it is so much trouble,going to go buy some now and try it.
"I got a really irritating yeast infection to the point where it burned so bad all the time"
I have never had a yeast infection as a result of shaving.
I shave with water, and a razor..4x or more a week.
I really don't know if it was the shaving that caused it completely though, that's why I'm trying to get info... I am afraid it could've been the friction, and the fluids maybe In my 38 years, I can only remember having a handful of yeast infections my entire life, back when I lived in the water practically as a teen. I was just thinking about what could be different and just came to that conclusion that this was a new thing for me and perhaps it's the cause of it. It could be a series of things, but just trying to see if there's another way to do it, in case that's the issue

If you can handle waxing 3 times, it doesn't hurt anymore!
Its like after 3 times the hair isn't so firmly rooted.
Did you gals try the veet stuff and if so did it work for you? I am so sick of shaving down there, but I tried a cream to remove it awhile back - and it did nothing for me on the private parts. The hair was still there. ??? I don't think it was veet though - so I am anxiously waiting for your report back.

Yes I did,I bought the regular (pink bottle) left on 10 minutes and still had to shave.Didn't try it on my legs though,it might work for them,but I figured if I had to shave any way might as well shave the legs.LOL I just put it in the closet with the Nair.LOL
I use a razor every 2-3 days and apply Bikini Zone everyday. Not shaving every day even though I have to has caused a lot of irritation and I have to shave in the direction of the hair so I don't always get a close shave. Oh well. I should try Veet. I did for a while for my legs but didn't have the patience to sit there for 5 minutes before removing it so I gave up on that. Nair sounds super irritating. Scared to try it. I really wanna wax but I heard it's expensive to go back every month. But supposedly after a year your roots will get used to it and you won't have to do it as often...? Dunno.
I bought the Veet brand in the blue can. Its for sensitive skin and its spray on. I left on for the max 10 minutes and it worked great! I'm thinking I may never shave again

Yes, I tried it, but it didn't work, still had to shave... but I may have rushed the job... I'm going to try it again in a few when I get my shower. I'll post results. Posted via Mobile Device
