Is their any way i can get it all smooth and get all the stubble out of te hair folicles ?
Please help me

Wax.

I know it says Girls only, but that is what they will all say..

Waxing would work the best but it's going to hurt like a sonofabitch.
Or if you're willing to be crazy, you could pluck.

I hear there is this special hair-removing thing that's kinda like sandpaper. But I don't know where you might find it.

Or you could always just shave but apply lotion where it itches.

(What a surprise that Josh would post here!) But hey, if he can (and it's generally slow today), why can't I?

I bet you shaved with a razor, right? Razors are very abrasive, think about how they work. Try an electric razor, there's less chance of irritation, and follow it up with a light coat of Vaseline JELLY (not the lotion, it has alcohol and will burn).

An alternate is to just trim with scissors real close.

Aw, you poor bear. (L) I hope you haven't been put off of shaving - because there is a way to shave your pubic area without all of the irritation. (:

It's important never to 'dry shave', so you're best shaving in the bath or shower with the skin partially wet.
It's similarly important to have a shaving gel specifically designed for the bikini line. These are always available in places like Boots and Superdrug nearby the razors, and are often non-fragrant products with exfoliating beads.
Using the same razor that you use to shave your legs won't be any good, so invest in a bikini razor. You can also find these at Boots and Superdrug, and the cheapest ones are small, plastic disposables. These do the job just as well as electric ones, so long as you combine them with the gel.
Always shave your bikini area by gliding the razor in the same direction as the hair grows, rather than against it, so that the skin will get less irritated. And if you find that it's a little uncomfortable post-shaving, wear cotton panties that allow your skin to breathe.

STOP. ARE YOU READING THE ABOVE POST?
If not, do it. I'm beginning to get the impression that 50% of TF is populated by literate parrots/sentient mirrors.

Rkight so proper bikini razor, electirc shaver, special lotion and waxing ? haha
I might try waxing.... but that would really really really really hurt wouldn't it ?
And i don't really have the money at the moment to inest inany special lotion or razor..

I will try..
Thanks guys you have helped me

I'd be scared of waxing. haha. I just use an electric razor and it works great for me

If you do it enough, you'll adapt to the feeling of it. But yes, wax should solve the problem.

You can try Nair as long as it doesn't touch the actual genitals. Though, test it out on an area that isn't too sensitive before you do that. Some people's skin is really sensitive to it (me, for example) and you can get a bad rash.

I use an electric razor first, then I get in the shower & use a regular razor & shower gel. (Use razors made for men. They work SO MUCH BETTER.)

I advice to use hand cream
