I'm looking for advice on what products or techniques to use after shaving my pubic area to avoid bumps, itching, and irritation. I've heard that conditioner might help, but I'm not quite sure how to use it. Also, are moisturizers effective? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Using an electric trimmer instead of a razor can really help reduce bumps and irritation. I still get a bit of itch sometimes, but I used to have serious issues with ingrown hairs when I used a standard razor. Just a smoother experience overall!
I tried electric ones, but they left me with some serious nicks. Not sure I'm sold on them.
If you're dealing with bumps, start by making sure the area is clean and that your blade is disinfected. I found that avoiding multiple passes with the razor helped a lot. I use L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra Sensitive After Shave Balm after shaving, and it's been great for my sensitive skin—just steer clear of alcohol-based products!
Thanks for the tip! I want something that doesn't break the bank though.
Am I weird for using hair removal cream instead? I just leave it on for ten minutes and use the tool it comes with. It's so much safer than using a razor—no cuts or bumps for me, plus I just use a bit of talcum powder when I'm done!
Isn't that risky for sensitive areas, though? Which cream do you use?
That's good to know! I've had horrible experiences with razors too. What electric trimmer do you recommend?
