This is quite funny, Today I shaved down there for the last time (for a few more months). I was pretty much shaving blind. Looked in the mirror and I managed ok, but this was the first time I just could not see over my belly at all and so I was wondering what other women do. Now I know you've all gone feral, so that's comforting. I guess I'll just let it be. There's no way I'm waxing. Like I'm not in enough pain already.

Antibiotics are notorious for causing thrush. You need Canesten which you can buy at any chemist. Antiobiotics have thrown the biosphere of your vagina into chaos which allowed the yeast to take over and it can be difficult to restore balance to your little galaxy without going in with some serious arsenal. Don't hesitate to get that Canesten!!

I lived in Japan and I took antibiotics for a severe chest infection and I had thrush for months because do you think I could find any Canesten anywhere? It was hell. HELL!!!

Cricket > Don't use your man's clippers. Pubic hair sends clipper blades blunt in a matter of seconds. It's too expensive to replace the clipper blades. You sound like you have very sensitive skin like me. If you want to shave, don't ever use cheap disposable razors EVER (not even in a bind). You need a proper razor (I prefer men's razors) and you need a new, sharp blade for your bikini area, especially when you start shaving because your skin has to get used to shaving. My skin is very sensitive to ingrown hairs but this has improved over the years. I had to learn to NEVER squeeze or scratch any ingrown hairs, they will clear up on their own very quickly. I generally shave only once a week and let my skin rest between shaves.
