to all those women out there! help...

so... i have yet to find the perfect bikini. BUT! I am going on vaca and I want to remove the hair on my bikini line. i was wondering if any of you know of good ways.

Ive tried shaving it with normal shaving cream, 1. against the grain, 2. with the grain, and neither works. Ive bought some Sensitive skin bikini NAIR but i have yet to use it.

any suggestions?

Get boy-cut shorts :D

Shaving is bad!!

It's truly worth paying the $ to get it waxed, it takes much longer for it to grow back, just make sure you do it 2-3 days before you intend to sport the new bikini, to let the slight redness go away.

yes...boy shorts are cuter...but for bikini's you must wax!

waxing!  it hurts like you can't belive but it's worth it.  haha. 

if you are too embarassed to get it waxed...for the love of god dont try it yourself (ouch and yucky goo on my hooha that i couldnt get off :/) yikes :D

for shaving..google "coochie cream" yeah yeah ha ha funny..but it seriously works..and doubles as a hair conditioner...that product is a miracle...no red bumps..

and make sure to use a new razor and do it that same day so you dont have stubble...

ive used other shaving creams...nothing worked but that stuff...

I shave quite often and it seems to have gotten used to it, it no longer gets red. I use Alba cream, I am going to check out the coochie cream though, thanks skebudge. I am too shy to go for a wax.

I personally wax myself.  It hurts like a bitch, but its worth it to me to not have little shavy bumps.  Just make sure that if you wax, follow the directions exactly or it may not work out right.  I once heated it too long and burned myself horribly.  Ripping the wax off the burn was worse than the burn itself.  But, I guess you learn from your mistakes right?

Waxing is the best. The hair grows back less thick and it takes longer to grow back. The skin can get irritated from waxing so like someone else said, do it a couple days before you're going to wear the bikini.

I shave b/c it's cheaper. I shave my bikini line every day. A long time ago I heard that if you do it every day then you won't get the little bumps and stuff. And I've never had the bumps or irritation. So although it's a pain at times to do it every day, for me it works!

When you really got to shave (I shave it, that way I can shape it however I want since I don't have the extra cash for waxing right now), soak in a hot tub for a little while to get all those happy pores open.  It makes shaving a little more bearable.  Also check out hair conditioner.  It works great for a shaving cream.

For after the shave, look for Olay (or maybe it's Dove?) bath lotion.  It's a lotion you put on in the shower and it rinses off, leaving your skin really soft.  I use that down there to keep ugly little red bumps at bay.  After shaving for so long, I rarely get irritation.

exfoliate with a spa puff, normal soap and water.  I do this before I shave legs and bikini.  I also shave bikini all the time now and dont have the redness and bumps anymore.  I use mens shaving cream as well and a good 4 blade razor

sally hansen bikini hair remover is what I use.  it doesn't burn as much as nair; but smells just as bad.  but DON'T get it on your "thing" -  I have found that the protective cover (you know, the plastic thing when you first buy a deoderant) on Secret is the perfect size as a protector of the entire "tootie" so the sensitive skin doesn't get touched.  I once found out the hard way and had to go out to dinner with my pants on fire!
