Ok, so I have really sensitive skin. I've tried nair it burns like a mother, and when I am usually able to put lotion on after shaving to help I can't with nair cause it hurts like a mother (same with water of any kind, or touching). Shaving is ok but I dislike it alot, my hair grows really fast, within an hour I have stubble. I tried on the top of my pubic hair and it gives me red skin, it goes away after a while, and usually bumps. Creams don't work. Waxes don't work on me either, I get really bad skin reactions, red skin, bumps, zits, and ingrown hairs. Anyone tried Veet? or Epil-Stop and Spray? I hear that Epil-Stop really burns. What about lazer, it's expensive but does it have any side-effects for anyone with sensitive skin?

I have always been the same way. I tried nair for sensitive skin for the bikini area. I 1st let the war water run for awhile on th bkikini area, I left it on the max amount of time. I wiped it off in the direction of the hair instead of against. I did shave the rest close to the vagina though. Then i immediately applied "Bikini Zone". This worked for me.

i recently was just looking through some of these, but if anybody reads this hope it helps. i too have very sensitive skin so if i shave my legs or any hair that would be sensitive i first give a little coat of conditioner then i put the shaving cream on and shave, when i'm done it washes off and leaves skin smooth and not dry. once again hope it helps.

I too have sensitive skin I found that when i had first started shaving down there, it would grow back quick but now it doesn't, mind you it's been 7 years, but it wasn't long after i started that everything was growing much slower. I find that if i sit in the tub of nice warm/hot water and soak for a while it works better and i don't get irritated or get stubble and ingrown hairs, no bumbs either.

Are you talking professional wax or are you talking home-wax?

If you've never had a professional wax I suggest you talk about your problem with a waxer, and give it a try. If it doesn't work, oh well, no harm no foul.

I suspect that laser might cause some inflammation in someone like you but I mean, ultimately it's permanent, so, I guess it depends.

It IS expensive though -- mostly because you need to go for multiple sessions.

It is seriously all about conditioner. I use it for all my shaving spots and never have had a problem. Hope it works for you.
