Girls, how do you prevent razor bumps down there?

[Anonymous]

I'm a guy and I like swimming so as like an optimization project I am trying to eliminate anything that would slow me down. Like with drag. So I switched to brief style swimwear but I need to shave so there isn't hair visible lol. I get bumps though.

Me in swim brief with bumps

I put a pic of me showing the issue. The fit of the briefs is good but the bumps are annoying. Do you have any tips? I assume you'd have more experience than guys lol

Gently exfoliate the area a day or two before shaving to remove dead skin cells.

Make sure you exfoliate your skin. a lot of people forget to do that

I can try that thanks

Razor bumps can definitely be a nuisance, but there are some effective ways to help reduce them! Start by using a sharp razor to minimize irritation, and be sure to exfoliate gently before shaving to remove dead skin cells. Using a good shaving cream or gel can also help create a smooth surface, reducing friction. After shaving, apply a soothing, alcohol-free moisturizer or aloe vera gel to calm the skin and prevent bumps. Avoid wearing tight clothing immediately after shaving, as it can exacerbate irritation. Stay consistent with this routine, and hopefully, you'll notice an improvement! 😊🏊‍♂️

Would underwear be too tight in the area? I wear underwear similar to in the pic. Does that look too tight? Do I have to go commando lol?

Don't use a razor use an epilator..

[Asker]

I didn't know what that is but I looked it up. I don't know if you can tell from the pic where my male bits are from any bulge or outline, but I'd have to get it close. That looks like a scary machine to get so near to my stuff lol

[PeachyPie93]

In the pick it doesn't look like a guy since I don't see a dick..
but anyways I use an electric razor if that one looks scary since electric ones don't cut you at all..

[Asker]

I don't look like a guy and it looks like I don't have a dick? What do you mean? What do you think I have down there? My thing is by the bumps lol
I could try an electric razor. I think they don't shave quite as close as normal razors so they don't cause bumps

Don’t shave against the grain of the hairs

[Asker]

I thought that was needed to get the hair short fully off. I can try to get the hair short going with the grain I suppose
