For many women who like to remove their hair ‘down there’, shaving is a no-brainer. It’s far cheaper, quicker and more convenient than waxing and laser removal. Plus, it’s pain free! Well, in theory it should be. For all its benefits, shaving does come with its own unpleasant after effects like chafing, rashes, itchiness and ingrown hairs. And there’s nothing worse than trying to go about your daily life while being completely distracted by the fact that it feels like your ladygarden is on fire.
The good news is, post-shave discomfort can easily be avoided. Often, it comes down to two factors: 1) shaving with a blunt or old razor and 2) using heavily fragranced, irritating gels. So, if you’re using any old body wash to shave with (or those razors with the in-built gel bars), you’re probably going to have to get a little more picky about your products. Thankfully, there are plenty of gentle creams and gels out there that will give you a close shave without messing with the sensitive equilibrium down there.
