I shaved my vagina area and now my clit is swollen and hurts to touch or move?

[Anon4546]

SO I decided I would shave down there because I can't stand hair. So I usually never use ivory soap I just use my good razors but unfortunately I ran out of heads for it so i used a disposable one... After I was done shaving, my clit was sensitive to touch and it just ended up getting worse I cant even touch it or i want to cry... Now it's swollen and I'm scared to tell my mom... I'm 19 and i had something like this happen before and it just ended up getting REALLY infected... ( I got it checked) but i want to stop it before i get to that... I honestly feel like never shaving again but I can't stand the hair ... Someone help maybe give me tips on better ways to do this? Thanks.

Thank's.. It's honestly so scarry -_- Cause i'm not sexually active and i've been with the same guy for 3 years so I know it's nothing STD related.. But yeah i'll definitly try waxing aha Thanks again!

I agree it depend on our razor and don't shave all the hair off the first day. Point the razor down like your shaving your armpits and then on the next day point the razor up like your shaving your legs. It works for me.

It really depends on the razors you use, and how sensative your skin is. Your skin might just be to delicate for shaving, or you want to try different positions in the shower to shave. I would go get waxed instead. Its VERY painful at first, but its only painful for a sec and after so long, the pain will decrease everytime you wax and less and less hair will noticly come through. But if thats not an option for you, I would look into different shave creams/razors
