I have issues with skin sensitivities and have always had issues with shaving. My bikini line especially has been problematic: within hours of shaving it would be bumpy, red, irritable and itch like crazy...I just COULDN'T shave it...and, as with your girls, I will NOT go to a salon to get it waxed...and waxing on my own is impossible....
I learned a trick though.
Un-scented clear gel deoderant....I use Mitchum for women sensitive skin clear gel formula.
Use it right after you shave, just as if you were using it in your armpits for odor protection. And then use it every day thereafter, right on your bikini line or underarms or wherever you shaved that is susceptible to irritation. After doing this the first time, the redness and irritation was considerably less...and now after a few weeks of using this trick, I get no redness or irritation...but you HAVE to put it on almost EVERY DAY...not just after shaving. I tricked myself into thinking my sensitive skin issue was cured and shaved my bikini line and didn't use the gel.....and within hours again I had the same ingrown hairs and irritiation issues.
Try it for your girls....especially for their underarms...kills two birds with one stone!
I found that aloe vera gel really helps with the bumpiness and redness of the bikini area.... and um... don't ask me how I know that...
