Shaving


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, 

i was diagnosed with HSV 1&2 back in February. Since then I have had 3 OBs however I believe one was due to shaving as I started feeling tingling soon after and decided to take my Valtrex to stop it as soon as possible. I’m so scared to shave because I don’t want to get another outbreak, because I’m really 99.9% sure that was what caused the 3rd one. Do you all shave and how can I prevent having an outbreak when shaving?

The only comfortable way i found to shave is buy a bikini line electric razor. You cant cut the hair super short. I do it at the longest legnth it gives me  i find the closer to the skin the more irritation afterwards. But i shave with that then sit in a sits bath with baking soda. Helps keep the area dry. 

 

I really hope this is helpful for you :)"

I use a spray bottle filled with coconut oil and lavendar essential oil and spray the area thoroughly. I then rub it in good and shave. After, i spray more and rub in. I also only use baking soda to wash "down there" . Everyone is different but thought its worth sharing!
