Question about flabby skin on shaved areas...

  • So, I haven't lost a ton of weight yet, but so far about 40lbs. I am starting to get loose skin in some areas where I shave and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on shaving over the loose skin spots. I have terribly sensitive skin and cannot use the depilatory creams, so that's not an option. Any suggestions?
  • The easiest thing to do would be to pull the skin taut and then shave, that way you have less of a chance of causing a nick or missing areas with the razor. Good luck!
  • Yeah I do that where I can. Its just frustrating to me. Like my inside thing, its hard to pull it taught and shave at the same time. I still get the drag and usually end up with a rash. I guess I just have to suck it up and accept it.
  • Inside thigh.....not thing. That sounded interesting. Lol
  • Have you tried waxing?

    My esthetician is great about taking care of my sensitive skin and I do the brazilian wax so there's a lot of that all up in there! I also have a lot of loose skin that needs to be pull taut and she's a rockstar at it!
  • I have thought about waxing. I'm still too shy about having someone wax the lady bits at the size I am right now, but it is def something I want to do. I will just have to deal with the shaving for now until I'm smaller and have a little more money flow. School is about to start up again so I have to pinch my pennies to get that paid for.

    May I ask a personal question? How often do you get waxed?
