We all hate them! I have learned a few things in my quest to rid myself of these.

A few things I do are:
1) Shaving should be the last thing you do in the shower. The steam will open your pores and allow you to get a closer shave.
2) Scrub the area before you shave. Exfoliating is important avoiding those pesky red bumps.
3) Once out of the shower, I dry the area and then apply tea tree oil in small amounts with a cotton ball.

These are just a few things I do. I am excited to hear what you guys do!! Also, if there are any products you like in particular let me know!

Thanks for these tips! I get shaving bumps at the top of my legs all the time and it drives me mad >_<

Full disclosure: I work with the company that makes Bump Patrol, the No. 1 razor bump treatment this year and last, according to IRI Data. I can't help but chime in though, since bikini razor bumps are something no woman wants to have. I'd like to suggest you try one of the three aftershave formulas: Maximum Strength, Sensitive, and Original. There are two shave gels too. A big tip is to shave WITH the grain of hair growth (never against), and I think you'll get the bikini bump well under control. Let me know if you have questions.

Thank you! I always thought if you shaved AGAINST the grain, you'd still have little stubbly hairs? :/

I use this product called Coochie Cream, if you haven't heard of it, yes that's the real name and it's intended for a lady to use to shave her intimate area- hence the moniker. It works really well as a general all-over shave gel, plus it moisturizes and conditions as well. A friend of mine's ex-boyfriend even used it all the time for his face because the formula is so good.

I also recommend you change up your blade frequently and try using men's razors. I have been using Gilette's Fushion Pro Glide razors for years because they work amazing. The refills are pricey but well worth it.

I agree with Lorena ...the product is called Coochie...it's a shave cream you can buy from Pure Romance (you can buy from any consultant or online...i'm technically still a consultant just cuz I love the discount on some of their beauty products lol) The stuff is GREAT! it conditions so well you can even use it for a hair conditioner if you're in a pinch and comes in several awesome scents! Also like some one else said...yes, you should always shave with not against the the grain for to avoid razor burn!!
