Are you someone who regularly shaves their pubic hair? If so, you’re probably familiar with the frustrating itching that often follows in the days after shaving. It’s a common complaint among those who choose to keep their nether regions smooth and hair-free. But fear not, there are ways to manage and alleviate this irritating side effect of grooming. In this article, we’ll discuss how to deal with the infuriating itching after shaving your pubes, so you can enjoy a smooth and comfortable experience.
Understanding the Itch: Why Does It Happen?
Before we dive into the solutions, it’s important to understand why itching occurs after shaving. When you shave your pubic hair, you’re not only cutting the hair but also the top layer of skin. This can lead to irritation and inflammation, which in turn causes the dreaded itchiness. Additionally, as the hair starts growing back, it can cause further discomfort. Now that we know why it happens, let’s explore some effective ways to deal with it.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
One of the best ways to combat post-shave itching is by keeping the area well-moisturized. Dry skin can exacerbate the itch, so it’s crucial to keep the skin hydrated. Look for a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer and apply it generously to the shaved area. This will help soothe the skin and reduce itching. Additionally, using a moisturizer with ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile can provide extra relief.
Avoid Tight Clothing
Wearing tight clothing can further irritate the skin after shaving. Opt for loose-fitting, breathable underwear and clothing to allow the skin to breathe and minimize friction. This can help prevent rubbing against the sensitive shaved area, reducing the likelihood of itching.
Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliation is key to preventing ingrown hairs, which can contribute to itching and discomfort. Using a gentle exfoliating scrub or brush can help remove dead skin cells and prevent hairs from getting trapped underneath the skin, ultimately reducing the risk of ingrown hairs and the itching that comes with them.
Choose the Right Shaving Products
The products you use for shaving can make a big difference in how your skin feels afterward. Make sure to use a sharp razor to minimize irritation, and consider using a shaving cream or gel to provide a smoother and less irritating shave. Additionally, using products specifically designed for sensitive skin can help reduce the likelihood of post-shave itching.
Opt for Natural Remedies
If you’re looking for natural remedies to soothe the itch, there are several options to consider. A cool compress can help reduce inflammation and itchiness, while aloe vera gel can provide a calming and moisturizing effect. Natural oils like coconut oil or tea tree oil can also be beneficial for soothing the skin and reducing itching.
When to Seek Medical Advice
In some cases, post-shave itching may be a sign of a more serious issue such as an infection or allergic reaction. If the itching is persistent, accompanied by redness or swelling, or if you notice any unusual discharge, it’s important to seek medical advice. A healthcare professional can help determine the underlying cause of the itching and provide appropriate treatment.
In conclusion, dealing with the infuriating itching after shaving your pubic hair is a common concern for many individuals. By understanding the underlying causes and implementing the right strategies, you can effectively manage and alleviate post-shave itching. Whether it’s through moisturizing, exfoliating, choosing the right shaving products, or opting for natural remedies, there are plenty of ways to soothe the skin and enjoy a comfortable shaving experience. With these tips in mind, you can bid farewell to the itch and embrace a smooth and irritation-free pubic grooming routine.
Don’t shave them fully. That’s what I do and it never itches
You need some post-shave ointment asap
It won’t itch if you don’t let it grow for long
Always moisturize right after you shave. Never shave without shaving cream or soap and make sure your razor is sharp
There’s an itch?
I don’t get the “infuriating itching” anymore but that’s probably because I don’t leave it very long before I shave again so it doesn’t have a chance to itch. I usually shave every other day but if not I don’t leave it any longer than 2 days. I’m not trying to be a Gillette sales woman but I have found that Gillette works best for me. I use Gillette Venus skin-smoothing exfoliant before I shave, then Gillette Venus 2 in 1 cleanser and shave gel and then after that I use the Gillette Venus daily soothing serum and that gives me nice silky smooth skin and no itching.
Just trim it. Don’t shave.
I use hair coniditioner after i shave down there, works like magic
Scratch it.
I let it grow long enough again that I forgot about the itching. It’s a vicious cycle lol
Is it supposed to itch? Ain’t got that problem ever in my life
Keep it shaved every 2-3 days, and use coconut oil before and after
If you regularly shave them it should be no different than shaving your legs or face. The hair only itches when it grows back the first time or 2. If you do it regularly the skin is toughened up and used to it.
Shave daily or every two days
I just kept shaving until that stopped happening but I remember it used to get so bad lol
I’ve been shaving for like 20 years. There hasn’t been any crazy itching in ages!
I get waxed instead and moisture after.
I use an IPL device. Most of the hair doesn’t grow back anymore and any that does is so thin that it doesn’t cause any itching.
I put on the Banana Boat Aloe Vera green gel on right after shaving. That helps.
I stick to waxing. Shaving is only for emergencies. My hair is really coarse so the post-shave itch is the WORST. Wearing loose bottoms/skirts and going commando (if possible) helps.
When you first start shaving a new area, you’re going to get razor bumps and it’s going to itch especially when it starts regrowing. This makes people not want to shave anytime soon so they let it grow out a bit except that just makes it itch again. When you keep up with it then it doesn’t itch.
I suggest using a shaving gel. Not a cream. Not a bar of soap. A shaving gel, preferably one that specifically states for sensitive skin since that is a sensitive area. Even better if he has a lotion and moisturizing effect. Also make sure you have a sharp blade. If you’re using a dull blade then you’re going to have to hit the same spot over and over and over and over and over and over and over and it’s going to rip them out rather than neatly cut them and this is also going to cause itching. When you are done, use an unscented very plain lotion. Aveeno is a good brand. Just make sure you don’t get the scented ones with a whole bunch of extra crap because you don’t want anything down there getting inflamed. Finally, make sure that you are wearing breathable underclothing. Don’t be wearing tight spandex or even silk. Just wear cotton undies.
Then just keep up with it. If you wait 3 weeks between each shaving then it’s going to end up itching.
It itches?
I shave every day or 2nd day, dont get any chafing or itching at all
I used to, and I got used to the itch. But I also used to shave daily.
Then I tried waxing, wasn’t the best.
Laser hair removal is the way to go. I love it and I recommend it anytime it comes up.
Right after shaving I use first aid beauty bump eraser. It’s an exfoliant with AHA. I use it on my armpits and legs right after shaving those areas as well and I never get in grown hair or anything. Seriously a game changer
I would do it like Friday night assuming you have Saturday and Sunday off of work or priorities. Let the itch happen when it won’t fuck you up, also moisturize it. Are you using an electric or metal razor?
Just rub some cocaine on the fun bits.
I use an electric razor. Not cuts and no razor burn or itching
Shave pretty much every other day or so. Haven’t had an itch in YEARS.
Deodorant! Every morning and after every shower. Works like a charm.
Based on my research, 10% of the people detailing their habits on questions like this will have NSFW accounts that show the business.
Pube shaver here! Also a fan of shaving. The awesome crew over on that sub offers great advice.
I would use a new sharp safety razor. I like the Astra Premium blades. Shave with the grain, and it’s fine to take more than one pass if you need. You could go across the grain as well if needed.
Afterwards, moisturize that shit. Find a non-scented lotion and put a small amount on where you shaved. Once it’s shaved, keeping it trimmed and/or shaved will minimize your itchiness.
I’ve also had incredible itchiness on other areas. If I have to go out in public or something, I’ll throw some quick Cereve or whatever that anti-itch medication is.
Enjoy trimming your pubes!!
Balls: Veet, lather it on thick, job done.
General area: trimmer down to a smart-casual length, suitable to get your cock out at a business lunch or corporate event.
Trim don’t shave it helps immensely
Ditch shaving and get a professional wax. Best decision I ever made!
I use the manscape thing and this never happens
There is some skin health information that may help. If you pull any skin tight to shave, many times the surface of the skin spreads and you end up shaving deeper in hair follicles than when your skin is relaxed. When released it can trap bacteria in follicles and cause ingrown hairs and irritation/etc. I’m pretty sure. I recommend using something lubricating, moisturizing right afterwards (and regularly) and trim pretty low with an electric trimmer so you’re putting less… torque on your follicles lol
I laser down there. It’s like a turtle shell.
Scratch n Sniff
Use my wife’s Venus razor. It’s a pubic hair razor. I go ham on my ball sack with 0 irritation.
Just trim you don’t need to completely shave to the point where you look like the barest tree that no bird will nest in
Don’t shave, trim it to 2/3mm
I stopped using razors 10 years ago. I trim with an electric razor. It’s better.
Don’t shave, trim. I know, having an oscillating blade near your balls is frightening, but you’ll rarely nick yourself if you’re careful and use a guard. I prefer to use a 1mm guard. No itching, just light stubble.
Trimmer for everything except the balls – good lather and razor for the round ones.
No itch, no problems, man…
