because they cause inflammation of your skin, rubbing and rubbing especially on freshly shaved parts, it’s a breeding ground for bacteria. Also, people tend to shave it bald to “feel clean” but the hair actually acts as a barrier against bacteria growth. We have glands on our vulva, just like under our armpits. It sweats and can get swampy down there. if you absolutely refuse to give up thongs, try wearing only 100% cotton or marino wool. Or opt for a cute pair of booty shorts. 🍑 and keep the thongs for special occasions. And try just trimming the hair down real short with an electric trimmer, to keep. little there to protect your skin, but if you must go bald, exfoliating before shaving and apply a calming oil or lotion.
Also sounds like your bf needs to grow a pair 😂

Don’t hold back on some real talk with your partner, IMO. Their lack of support in this scenario, which you’re already concerned about, is toxic.

Laser hair removal on my bikini line was one of the best investments I've ever made. And it was much cheaper than I thought it would be. The whole package was ~$1k. Before then I was so self conscious of my bikini line, getting uncomfortable ingrowns despite my best efforts not to.

Oh wow! Thank you so much SA1 this was super helpful!

I used to also get really large and painful bumps due to tight underwear with seams that would dig into my skin. Wearing only seamless panties during the day and going commado while sleeping has helped me dramatically

Any friction can cause the bumps. I'm prone to them too. Completely clean and healthy, I just have sensitive skin and coarse hair. Do you exfoliate, use a shaving cream/gel, and keep your razor fresh? All cotton panties and breaks from thongs, especially at night, help. Also, not shaving as frequently makes a huge difference for me.

I used to get razor bumps/ingrown hairs because I didn’t know that you need a skincare routine for shaving.
1 - Exfoliate the area before shaving, I use this on wet skin: Check out this product at Sephora.com - First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA - 8 oz/ 226 g https://www.sephora.com/product/kp-bump-eraser-body-scrub-with-10-aha-P444989?skuId=2233245

2 - Always use a clean razor in good condition I like the Men’s Gillette 5 blade bc razors made for women suck: https://www.target.com/p/gillette-fusion5-men-39-s-razor-2-razor-blade-refills/-/A-13356801#lnk=sametab

3 - After shaving, Pat dry and apply aftershave I like this one: https://credobeauty.com/products/fur-oil?variant=46468113932&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping_PerformanceMax_AllProducts&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIl52V4ZTX_gIV42xvBB01qQGsEAQYAiABEgJEFPD_BwE

Since finding this routine I do not get razor bumps or ingrowns anymore! Also, as the hair starts to come back, you want exfoliate in the shower every 2 or 3 showers. You can also use the oil like 1x week to maintain the skin softness and hair softness between shaves or after every shower if you like but since it’s a pricey product I like to make it last.

*Also, go commando as often as you can and wear loose fitting bottoms at home/loose shorts that let you get air. I only wear underwear when I leave the house. Make sure your underwear fits right, things that are too tight lead to more bumps.
