Okay so I used to dry shave my pubes, which worked fine, they were smooth and I almost never got ingrown hairs.

However months later wasn't the same story. Now i've shaved in the shower, soaked the hair, used shaving cream, and no matter which way i shave I get little red ingrown hair bumps.

So does anyone have any good tips on what the best way to shave is, and how to keep it smooth for a few days. Product names would help.

Just use this man: http://www.germes-online.com/direct/dbimage/50090530/Rechargeable_Hair_Clipper.jpg

If you're a guy, just use nair.

NAIR is the most disgusting thing in the world. My wife talked me once into using it on my armpits and oh god! Why why why did I do that? Apart from the mess and itching, the horrible smell didn't even go after showering. Don't use NAIR dude, it's the worst thing ever.

wtf? Yeah, it's got a funky smell...But its definitely tolerable. And it always washes off in the shower. I've used it on my pubes and my armpits. It's a little itchy at first, but its nothing. And its a lot simpler then shaving.

A hair clipper isn't going to make it smooth. It's not a jungle. Im looking for baby smooth.

Maybe wax, but im not so sure about that, dont feel like ripping my skin or burning myself in the process.

After shaving try keeping your skin real soft, so your hair doesn't have too much trouble growing back out. When ever I shave my face or tidy up a bit down there, I use baby oil after and a few days later.

I read on some site that the bumps and ingrown hair come from your skin being dry and making it difficult for the hairs to grow back. As a result... bumps

Don't bother waxing yourself, get it done professionally.

I can't help you with the ingrown hairs, as I get them super bad myself and haven't figured out a way to get rid of/avoid them.

You could maybe try using a toner of some sort, although I don't know if you can get one specifically for the pubic area...?
