Hi there

 

Oh the pain we women go through for boyfriends and spouses!  Before you go about altering things down there ask yourself if you really want to do this.  It is your body.

 

I do have some tips for shaving to make things less prone to irritation.

 

1.  Make sure to trim your hair before shaving making the process easier. 

 

2.  Use shaving cream or lotion.

 

3.  Shave only after being in the shower for awhile so that your skin is more supple and less prone to nicks.

 

4.  Use a razor which is created for shaving the bikini area.  There are many types to choose from at the supermarket or pharmacy.

 

5.  Moisturize the area afterwards with a non-scented non allergenic lotion.

 

Other options are laser hair removal or waxing.  There is also Nair but if your skin is sensitive I don't know if I would try it.  Let me know if you need more information on these options.

 

Good luck and thank you for your question!
