If you're like me and you probably aren't, you don't keep up your bikini line during winter. Alas years ago, I was dating someone new and I wanted to stay 'groomed'. Even in January. So instead of going for my usual waxing, I shaved my bikini line. Big mistake.
I developed an ingrown hair. It became infected. I went to work one morning but was in so much pain, I had to see my doctor immediately. Two hours later I was in surgery and spent the next month taking heavy duty antibiotics.
Admittedly, situations like this are unusual, but not unheard of. But an ounce of prevention is worth several pounds of cure (you DO NOT want to know the fallout from having surgery in that... area). I've found two new products that can prevent ingrown hairs and the discomfort that comes from shaving your bikini line.
PrivateRx Cooling Pads and Soothing Serum.
PrivateRx Cooling Pads and Soothing Serum work together to safely cleanse, calm and soothe delicate skin after shaving or waxing to help relieve irritation while preventing ingrown hairs and razor bumps. After hair removal, use a pad to wipe the affected area. Use routinely in between shaving and waxing.The soft beaded cotton pad gently exfoliates dry or dead skin cells to help free ingrown hairs.The pads provide a cool, soothing sensation You can use this product even after a full Brazilian waxing without fear of stinging or burning.
PrivateRx Soothing Serum softens and moisturizes the skin, minimizing the incidence of ingrown hairs while the botanical blend helps soothe irritation after shaving and waxing. The Soothing Serum also helps to relieve uncomfortable razor burn.When used in conjunction they have a synergistic effect; resulting in smooth, supple skin with minimal redness, irritation, and ingrown hair.

If you experience any kind of allergic reaction, stop use immediately. If a razor bump arises bigger than the size of a pea or feels hot or painful see a doctor immediately.
