Oh, and if you're just gonna answer "I don't know." Then go get hit by a truck.... Only answer if you actually have an answer. Thanks %26lt;3
Any tips for itchy pubic hair after shaving?
have u heard of Drapolene cream? it's in a pink tube and commonly used by babies to stop nappy rash. u can try that, it works on me and most women in my family when we have to stop the itch down there. ;) or u can try applying any nappy rash cream, preferably something mild. maybe u can also try Eurax cream but it's not so advisable though it helps to reduce itchiness. never ever apply deodorant or any scented lotion, it'll worsen the problem. or maybe u can shave everyday. it shd help stop the itch. otherwise, go for a brazillian wax! xxx

Shave Your Pubic Hair | Permalink
Do you have to buy extra large and stretchy pants in order to accomadate the huge bush in your pants? When your lover reaches down to fondle you do they just end up grabbing a fist full of hair? Do you neech a machete, a torch, and a foreign speaking guide in order to make it through the thick of your pubic hair so that you can masturbate? Maybe it's time for you to shave your pubic hair then. Have no fear, if done right, a good shave is easy, painless, and not too difficult to maintain. So grab your hedge clippers and lets head into the thick of it.
It's not Just for Girls anymore
For years shaving one's pubic hair was reserved for the women of the world. Slowly with the rise of gay culture men have started to find various benefits to it as well. Now it is not uncommon for a heterosexual male to shave their pubic hair on a semi-regular basis. This can have a number of advantages, not the least of which is the fact that it'll make you look a lot bigger. So if you've never tried it, or if girls get that look of dismay when they pull down your tightie whities, then maybe you should reach for the shaving cream as well.
3 blades of pubic hair cutting goodness
A Poor Craftsman Blames His Tools
When it comes to shaving, that is not true. If you haven't been able to tell already the skin in the pubic region is extremely sensitive. If you go and hack away at it like you would your face or your ***, then you will end up with a rash which will convince your lover that your regular insanity is just a product of your syphilis. Seriously, some people have extremely sensitive skin and if done improperly you will look like you have a pretty bad STD, not an image you want to convey. The first step to avoiding this is the tools you use. Don't even think about using that disposable razor on your groin. If you want to shave your pubes you are going to need to spend a couple more dollars and get a better razor.
The best razor to use is one of the 3-blade razor types. This inclues the venus and the mach 3. They allow for a good close cut without requiring you to go over the area a thousand times. Make sure you get a fresh blade to use so that it is good and sharp when you do your cutting. In terms of shaving cream, strike the word cream from your vocabulary. Pick out one of those good gels they sell in the shaving section. Gillete makes a good one. These allow for better lubrication and keep the area soft.
Give Yourself a Haircut
After you have gotten all the supplies you need it is time to get down to business.
You had a lot to cut off, damn!
Trim it Up
The first thing that you are going to want to do is get out a pair of scissors or a beard trimmer and give yourself a good close haircut. Try to cut off as much of your pubic hair as possible with the scissors. This will make it easier to shave and will cause your razor to get clogged less. You may very well decide that this is the perfect height for your hair and there is no reason to take it down any farther so be sure to check yourself out in a mirror when your done and see if you like how it looks.
Get Wet
The next thing you are going to want to do is take a bath or shower. If you have the time then I would suggest taking a bath, it will really give the hairs a chance to soften up. If time is not your friend then just hop on into the shower and stay there for a couple of minutes making sure your pubic region sees plenty of water. Be sure to keep the water warm to hot.
Finish It Up
After your hair has had a chance to soften up, and you feel that you are ready, then it is time to let the shaving begin. Make sure your skin is moist, then lube the whole area that you want to shave up with the new fancy gel that you bought and gently massage it in for a minute or two. Next, take out your razor and run it under hot water for a second before you begin to shave. Be sure to shave with the grain (in the direction that the hairs point), in short, careful strokes. If you don't do this, you risk both irritation and ingrown hairs - neither of which are a lot of fun. Try to go over the same area no more then twice otherwise you'll be heading down irritation alley. It is important to note that you could be irritating the skin even if you don't feel it. The skin could feel all nice and happy while you are shaving, you may feel like you could go over it 10 more times with the blade without a problem, but trust me you will regret it later. Be sure to get all those hard to reach spots, stretch out your skin to be sure that you got everything, there is nothing worse then finding a patch of hair while you are drying yourself off later on.
Afterwards
Depending on how sensitive your skin is you may or may not need to treat your skin afterwards. To do this apply mineral oil or a similar moisturizing cream to the area every couple of hours. This will keep the skin from drying out and hopefully from getting irritated as well. Try and avoid tight fitting panties or underwear for the first 12 or so hours after shaving. If you shave at night put on some loose fitting sweats or pajamas without underwear to help minimize contact with the skin. Finally, don't touch the area too much right after. I know its tempting because you are so smooth and nice but that too can cause irritation. If irritation or itching occurs, a small application of witch hazel helps immensely.
Between shavings, using a mild (sugar based, not salt) exfoliant can help prevent ugly, itchy, red, bumps.
Once you have shaved maintaining it is pretty easy. Shave the area every couple of days. For the first few shaves be sure to follow all the guidlelines listed here, afterwards, depending on your skin you can probably start to ease off on the mineral oil and the other things, however never be reckless.
Typically, as with all regular shaving, the skin will become less irritated in the future. If the first time is miserable, don't give up hope, future shaves should be much less unpleasant.
Alternatives
If your skin is too sensitive for regular shaving, or perhaps you just want a cleaner look and feel using a razor may not be for you. Purchase an electric beard trimmer; not an electric shaver. Use the beard trimmer on one of the lowest settings and go to town. There aren't any special instructions for doing so, except watch out for loose skin because getting nipped by a beard trimmer can be quite painful.

Classylady 407's answer was prety good except for one thing...the sugar based scrub...sugar can cause yeast infections.
I don't know how long you have been shaving, but the itching tends to get less and less, the more you do it. I know you said you don't like waxing but have you ever tried brazillian hard wax? It's not lik honey wax, there are no strips. Yeah it hurts, but not as bad as honey wax and the result is worth it. I am a HUGE baby, but my friend talked me into doing it...it's been about 3 weeks and it's still pretty smooth.
oh, maybe try to change what type of underwear you wear. or try to keep it mosturized throughout the time it's growinfg back...just be careful what you use down there. Good luck!

Maybe you are putting to much pressure down when you shave, try not to press down so hard. You probably just have sensative skin, so you really shouldn't put any kind of lotions or creams [unless prescribed by a doctor] down there, Im sure it would burn and maybe cause you to break out.
Or maybe you are shaving to frequently? Try giving it a few days between shaving and see if that eases up anything.
If nothing else works, try talking to a dermatoligst.

Waxing is by far the best way to go. It sounds like you have tried doing it yourself. If so, try going to a reputable spa to have it done by someone who is experienced in Brazilian waxing. The results always last much longer than shaving (4-6 weeks on average), and when done properly - with top quality waxes - the chances of getting ingrown hairs and red bumps are minimal to none. And a top quality stripless hard wax is the wax of choice here. It is much more comfortable than using a wax that requires strips. Don't skimp on this. Get the best. This type of wax must be warmed (get a low heat wax). Its best to have a wax warmer made specifically for this purpose. The kind of wax you get in the drug store that you heat in the nuker are not very good in terms of quality. And they cool off pretty fast too, which is not a good thing. If you are going to do it, then do it right. Find a beauty supply shop and ask for help in locating the products you will need. The products you will find there are of much better quality. Gigi makes a good line of waxes and waxing supplies.
No matter which method you choose, here are a few tips:
- First, exfoliate the area.
- For waxing, be sure the hair is between 1/8" and 1/4" long - not any shorter or the wax will not stick to the hair, and not any longer because the pain will only be that much worse. Apply a very thin coat of baby oil to the area to be waxed. This will form a protective barrier between the wax, and your skin. It will help prevent the skin from sticking to the wax. Don't use a lot though, the wax will not grip the hairs if you do. Yes, powder can be used, but I have found baby oil to be far superior for this. Put a THIN layer of wax on in a small section, leaving a sort of 'tail' on one end to grip with your hands for removal. Apply in the direction of the hair growth. Allow to cool until it is soft and pliable. Then, while holding the skin taut, grab hold of one end of the wax, and in one quick motion, rip the wax off. Important: When removing the wax, you must keep it as close, and as parallel to the skin as possible. If you tend you pull it off in an upward motion, you risk injury and bruising of the skin. Always remove the wax in the OPPOSITE direction of hair growth.
- Immediately after treatment, apply a lotion that contains salicylic acid in it. It doesn't matter which brand you choose, any will do. Just look for the one with the highest percentage of salicylic acid in it. After that, apply twice daily.
- For the first 24 hours, avoid wearing any tight fitting clothing, Doing so will only irritate your skin more than it already has been.
- Also, after about 24 hours have passed, gently exfoliate the area. A loofah will do fine, just be gentle. When you do this, you are helping to keep the follicles open and free of dead skin cells which, if clogged, can result in ingrown hairs and bumps. After that first time, continue exfoliating daily.
Basically, just be gentle on your skin for a while. Whether you shave, or wax, you are putting that area of skin through a minor trauma. And it will react to that. You just need to take steps to minimize the after effects.
