Curious.

---

So... I shaved down there a few weeks ago (I usually clip) and now I have about three small, red bumps where I did. That's normal when shaving, right? I'm just curious because I never have before, and I'm not sure what can happen as the hair grows back.

One of them is a little sensitive to touch, so I'm prone to believing it may be an ingrown hair... If it does turn out to be one, what are some ways to remove the hair from under the skin? My mom told me she uses a needle, but that seems a bit complicated.

It is completely normal for the red bumps to be there As for the ingrown hairs, a needle is the easiest and quickest way. First, you MUST clean the needle, just run it under a flame. Then, just try to peel the skin off the top of it.Also, just squeezing it with your hands MAY work, but not as well as a needle.My advice for you, is to not shave, but to WAX! It is so much quicker, it lasts longer, NO ingrown hairs, and you feel soo good after your all waxed down there.

Ooh, yeah. I've been told to wax, but it looks so painful! I'm a bit scared to ever have it done.Ouch, that sounds like it'll hurt. Lol, I really hope it's not an ingrown hair.

waxing may hurt.. but it looks A LOT better than the bumps you may get when you shave.. i get bumps too if i shave EVERY day or even every other day..- so maybe waxing is worth it, just a suggestion!

Ive been shaving for over a year now. I get the occasional bump, but i noticed that after a while my skin almost adjusted to being shaved every second day and it isnt as sensitive.

another thing i do often is exfoliate after shaving. it helps remove ingrown hairs and makes my skin even smoother :wink:

Waxing pain is different to everyone. My friend will be near tears. But i barely feel a thing, just the hot wax bugs me a bit... but no more pain that ripping off a bandaid. And I feel all tingly afterwards.

my girlfriend wants to shave down there..I dont know if I will like it ( I prefer It the way it is now)she is worried that her mom might find out and freak outwhat are most girls doing these days??

on the whole waxing bit.do u have to let the hair grow out quite a ways b4 u wax again? havent ever waxed so i was just curious.i know with those wax strips ur hair has to be about a 1/4 in. long. idk.

yeah its recommended that you wait until the hair grows a little long. ive tried waxing on short hair, and all it took off was my skin. lmao. now some waxes say it works on short air. but thats the one i tried. and it was crap.@ sk8er. everyone has their own personal preference. im completely shaven like ive said, and i love it. its never growing back. and the guys ive been with love it too. and the thing is, if you dont like it and neither does she, it can always grow back. so its no big deal =)

I have a stupid question??will it grow back thicker after its shaved ??she said her friends brother shaves down there...sounds wierd to me??what would that feel like>??

i dont really think hair grows back thicker than its been before. but thats just me. i remember a few discussions on here saying that its just a myth. and that most people who shave are going through puberty so the hair gets thicker regardless.

I dont want mine to get any thicker lol

lol.i hate hair down there. i dont mind it trimmed on guys. but i love being silky smooth.

I only been with 2 girlsam nervous about the Bare thing>>>>>

Hair doesn't grow back thicker after shaving. However, it can look thicker because new hairs start tapered and therefore thin, while cut hairs of course grow out at their full thickness.Similarly, shaving doesn't make the hair grow back faster, though it may look as if it is growing faster at first because you notice a millimetre of growth much more when it's from nothing than when it's added onto a longer hair.Shaving does often, however, cause a lot of itchiness and red bumps as it grows back, though with time this is reduced as the skin gets used to it.It used not to be usual for guys to shave down there, but now it seems to be quite common. Apparently it feels cooler and smooth and it makes your penis look bigger. Oh, and welcome to A2A.

coolthanks for the info
