Today, my boyfriend is coming over. We haven't seen each other for a while so for a surprise, a few days ago, I decided to shave my pubic hair. I've come up in a huge rash that looks like some sort of infection. Not quite the sexy surprise I was hoping for. FML

You need to shave it a few times on a regular basis to stop the rash.

anyone notice that fmylife.com has child proofed stuff like under the FMyLife banner, it used to have a curse word and intimacy used to be sex?

it's also best to shave with the direction of hair, not against it. and cheap ass razors are a no no.
YDI. see when you let a bush grow then shave it for special occassions you develop a rash, but if you keep it shaved, you won't be getting rashes. Please don't grow a bush again.

It IS infected. Next time steralize the razor with rubbing alcohol, then after shaving apply iodine solution to the entire area and leave it on for a few minutes before washing it off. You may also want to follow up with some antibiotic ointment.
oh please, it's just razorburn. it happens to everyone the first few times they shave, or if they shave with a dull blade. OP doesn't need to bust out the rubbing alcohol and iodine, just upkeep the landscaping with the same regularity as her legs and pits.

Not very well planned on your part - didn't you know that nearly always happens the first few times? Don't worry about it. Just give it some time to heal, try again when you don't have anything better to do. Make sure you use a good shaving gel or cream, and a sharp razor.
Shaving one's nethers is such a hassle, I typically only do it three times a year. Frankly I am a bit offended by the suggestion in other comments that one should shave all the time. Being hairy is natural. **Go with what works for you.** My partner likes it when I'm shaved, but he has the decency to not even ask me to do so. It can be quite itchy when the stubble grows back out, and he knows that.
pubic hair is natural, sure, but so is armpit hair and leg hair, and a vast majority of women shave that without complaint. it's not really that OP *has* to shave, but if she (and her bf) like that look, she does need to do it regularly to avoid getting razorburn.

....well that's gotta hurt. but if you do it reguarly then it'll go away. it's a matter of preference.

If it was the first time in awhile... Which, obviously, it was... You should have done it just a little befor he got there.. but kudos for knowing what a man likes ;)
Aw you poor thing.
Yeah you're really not supposed to shave down there..
The hair protects it from infections and stuff
And keeps it warm during the winter :3

NOOB :) lol ignore the negative comments.. but if you wana keep shaving here are some tips:
- DO NOT shave everyday. (give it some time to grow back a little)
- Take a long shower / bath beforehand.
- ALWAYS use plenty of shaving cream / gel.
- NEVER use a dull razor. don't use something with like 5 blades either, you don't need that many!
- shave inwards. like.. in the opposite direction.
or... jus get it waxed. im not gona lie, it hurts like hell. (people say it gets better as you do it more, but its not true. it hurts the same EVERYTIME) but it does last longer!
hope that helped w your problem a bit lol.
its only smooth the first day, and goes dwn hill from there ):

I know it sounds painful, but I find it works best to either shave the day of, or shave two days before then tweeze the hairs that have begun to grown back. It gets the hair out by the root, keeps it clean much longer, and prevents razor burn.

Poor you. Razor burn hurts quite badly.
I completely understand, though.
When I was younger, I did the same thing. :p
I shave every week or so now and it keeps the razor burn to a minimum.
My boyfriend doesn't really care either way, though.
Also, if your boyfriend does notice razor burn, he'll probably understand. x]
My boyfriend does.
He's shaved before. x]
