argh! when ever i shave my pubic hairs n bikini line or trim the pubic hairs, the shorter hair alwasy gets in the holes in the cotton of my underware and it pulls when i walk,...making it very itchy and annoying, has anyone got any ideas of how to stop this or how i can flatten it down?

oh and um....how do these hair removal creams work? does the hair grow back? is it thinner when it grows back? could i use it on pubic areas?

be very careful with hair removal creams in the pubic region. those creams are quite strong and you can be left with quite the nasty chemical burn on such a sensitive area.

Nair makes a specific bikini line hair remover.There are probably other brands out there you just have to buy one for the bikini area and see how they work for you.Waxing is also another option for keeping hair away longer and it doesn't grow back in the same manor that shaved hair does,i.e sharp stuble.I have bought the Nair home wax kits and done it myself.It's not so bad for me but it depends on your pain tolerance.

Nair doesn't irritate my skin but it has also never worked at all on me. It works for some people and it just doesn't work for others.

I've tried home waxing and I cried because I was in so much pain. I just don't have a high tolerance for pain at all.

I've tried just shaving and I get too many ingrown hairs.

I finally found something that works for me. It's an electric razor by Seiko called The Cleancut. It's a little hard to find but you can probably do a search for it on the net. I know you're probably thinking that you can't get a close shave with an electric razor but this is the only razor I have found that doesn't cause ingrown hairs yet still gives me an incredibly close shave. The only drawback is that you have to use it almost daily but it's not so bad. I just use some powder and then run the razor over my skin a few times each morning. There are tons of excellent reviews on this razor.
