Bikini line irritation?

Question: This isn't about shaving-when I wear underwear (which is obviously every day), my bikini line starts becoming irritated-this can range from burning and being painful in general to having small bumps. This is due to the underwear constantly rubbing up and down this area. I can assure you that my underwear is not too tight-they fit just fine. And I can also say that I don't have some STD. I think the skin may be more sensitive during some stages in my cycle, because I've noticed that it only gets bad once in a while. Is there anyone else who has this problem or some suggestions as to how to help it? Is there something I can put down there that will reduce the irritation?

Answers:
You may be having a sensitivity reaction to your detergent that you wash your clothes with. Try washing your underwear with baby shampoo. It's formulated without irritants for the sensitive skin of a baby's. Also, when you shave, put a coat of thickly-formulated hair conditioner on the areas that you shave. Then put shaving cream on top of that. This will give you a shave that is less prone to irritation.

Other Answers:
ok it may sound silly or strange but try this.put lotion on right after shaveing, put deodorant all over the shaved area or even a little vasaline/'potrolium jelly. OR. i don't know how you are shaveing but try this is may do wounders.. what until; the end of your shower/bath to shave. That way the warm water realaxes the hair folicles and softends the hair. Then use shaveing cream nit just a razor, and lastly make sure the razor isnt dull. Oh yeah and go against the hair slowly and only in one direction one stroke at a time. ie, stroke rins stroke rinse..

You can try wearing cotton undies if you are not already doing so. Avoid silk and lace stuff. It may be the shape of your panties which cause this problem so give thong or G-string a try and see if you are comfortable with it. Also, before wearing undies, rub some baby lotion around your bikini line. Don't use powder as it will itch more if you prespire. When you go to restroom during the day, try to wipe this area with wet paper towel. Hope it will help. It's summer time. Wear skirts and no underwear. You will find it outrageously arrousing and fun.
