Ginalolabridga agony auntI would advice you if you can afford it to go to a salon and have them wax you, they use numbing cream beforehand and you only feel a little tingle, but the end result is much more neater and smoother than shaving.

Plus they get to wax every little hair because they are down there reaching places you could'nt!

I don't know if i'll be much help but i'll try. First off you want to get the right utensils. What i use is Noxzema Bikini shavers and Bikini Zone Anti-bumps shave gel. Once you get those you what i do is just to take a bath. have the area down there soak for a bit so it's not as tense i guess. Rub the gel on you might want to use quite a bit but not a whole lot. While shaving if you need to use more to make sure it will be all good down there and do it's job. and just slowly bit by bit work your way through it like you would when you shave your legs. Except you want to do it very section by section and short strokes sort of. Going over one way area mutiple times. Sometimes it's a long process but it's so worth it in the end. What without all the bumps itching irritation heck yes! You just have to be extra careful because it's more sensitive. When i shaved down there for the first time it wasn't the greatest either but i think it's because i proably sucked it up and it wasn't use to that sort of thing. Once you do it more than once it gets better i think. I've never done waxing because i would think that would hurt but ify ou want to do that maybe using ice to numb it up would help?? Or get it professionally done but i'm to weird to ever do that sort of thing haha. As for shaving the lips just take one at a time and pull it back a little ways and just short strokes over and over until all the haair is gone. Hope you understand and it helps you and makes things easier if not just don't be afraid to ask

The only thing i can suggest is go to a professional salon, they have numbing agents they use beforehand. Or call and see if they sell those numbing agents over the counter.
