Basically, my problem is that I have tried pretty much all kinds of hair removal
for my bikini line and cant seem to find anything that doesnt make it
come up all red, itchy and sometimes the little red bumps get infected - yuck, i know.
I have tried:
Shaving (with and without shaving gel; disposable raazors, sensitive razers etc)
Waxing (home and professional)
Epilating
Plucking
Hair removal cream (all brands, nair, veet etc and all the sensitive type)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what else I could try??

You get it all red and bumpy? Its just a rash..
So my advice is....
Shave at night in the bath or shower.
When you are dry put on baby bum cream (YES! I mean the stuff for babies bums :D)...a nice layer.
Let it soak in a little bit. Put on another thin layer before you go to bed at night and be prepared that whatever you wear to bed will be full of bum cream in the morning..
In the morning your bikini line will be smooth, no red bumps!
If you are worried about infections...
1. change the brand of razor you use
2. change the razor you do you more often
3. clean the newly shaved area with surgical alcohol. (Aftershave is essentially aromatic surgical spirits :P)
