I get it every single time no matter what. I think some people are just extremely sensitive. But after the bumps go away, it's still smooth for a good amount of time. Sucks, sorry!

I think the first time is the worst, usually. After you've gone a couple of times it's always a little easier and grows back a little slower (though annoyingly, if you shave just once in between, you are back to square one it seems!). I tend not to have red bumps right away, but I always get itchy, not quite ingrown hairs but still really annoying, bumps a week after.

Do you know if the lotion is pregnancy safe? I've been kind of afraid to use anything besides my gentle face scrub on the area for fear of chemicals. Only do my bikini area, so it seems awfully close to the baby... (I realize my logic may be flawed here...)

I decided I'll do laser hair removal eventually (not now, because we're TTC), but it was for that very reason. I was told if you get razor burn & bumps after shaving, you're likely to have a reaction to waxing too. Just sensitive skin. Like @blackbird said, exfoliation is really awesome. I had never thought to do it, but now, I exfoliate my bikini line during every shower with a soft loofa. I've noticed a big change!!
