If I have any male readers you might want to check in another day…Ok, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Just about everyone who exercises has got tips to offer for anyone who will stand still long enough to listen, right? Well that makes me no different. I’ve got one, too. No, its not going to be about stretching for 5 minutes before you head out. Or consult your doctor before starting an exercise program. Nah, my tip is something you probably wouldn’t have thought twice about unless you were stupid enough like me to do it.
Here’s what I’ve got for you: Never go walking, in the middle of rush hour traffic, on a busy street, in 90 degree heat, wearing boy shorts panties and nylon jog pants the same day you just shaved your crotch.
Ha! See! I told you you would never have thought of that unless you were stupid enough like me to have done it first!
Talk about heating the stubble up! Damn! I practically pushed my kids, Boot Camp style, to rush my itchy, sweaty ass crotch home so I could strip off my hot pants and take my hot ass crotch to a cool shower and scratch in private! Now I remember why I don’t shave there on a regular basis because that shit ITCHES like a bitch when I do.
So there you have it. If you’re stupid enough to do it like me then don’t complain because I warned you.
Oh and by the way, in the last four days my kids and I have walked 6 hours and 12 miles! ROCK ON!

Congrats on all the walking! I too have been walking twice a day for the past two weeks, and believe it or not–I think I’ve lost five pounds. Rock On with your Bad Self!

I’ve been walking a lot, too. I always feel so much better when I’m exercising!
Thanks for the tip…I try to never ever shave that area and only use Nair if it needs…um…grooming! lol

The "Mind"
Bwahahaha! When you warned the guys I just knew where this was going. Also, never exercise in a thong. Not that I’ve done it, but I can imagine what kind of issues that would cause.
Psst…since we are passing along tips, FYI on the razor burn/stubble itch, aloe sunburn gel w/lidocaine in it works pretty good. This I found out when I could not find the lotion I normally use. LOL!
Mo2, Nair? There? Really? Then again, Nair burns the hell out of my skin. I’m saving up for laser hair removal to deal with a few spots permanently.

Now I know why I love you. You lay it all out there for us. lol
I used bikini cream. It works really well. But then my skin is pretty used to the shaving now. Oh and don’t ever try to wax yourself. That is insane. I’m also with Mind on the whole Nair. That shit stings.
You said panties. roflmao

Willow, congrats on the walking!
Mo2, Nair? Really? I keep forgetting to get it for my legs. I’ve got to try that.
Mind, Oh I’ve got that cooling stuff, good tip! Thong? OUCH!
Terry, I’ve got no problem sharing TMI.
Carrie, that’s just how I am. Seriously. lol
Augs, I’m glad you got out before any damage was done. I’d hate to loos my only male reader.
Diva, more itch than pain. Today is better though. lol
MsL. the price we pay for sexy, huh?

Dude, I am queen of the crap-I-forgot-to-do-something-with-the-muff-before-swimming club. I use Bikini Zone from target to deal with the bumps.
Awesome that you are getting out with kiddos so much!

For all of you Nair-shy ladies…they have Nair specifically for that area and it works pretty well without all of the burning and itching of shaving! That really sounded like a commercial! lol

Haha! Sorry to laugh, but I’m just imagining you high-tailing it down the street with a pained expression.
The things we do for fitness!

Oh I’m so laughing with you on this one. I had almost the same experience at the gym a few months back. Lesson learned. I had to leave early because of the beginnings of sweat marks – down there. GROSS I can’t believe I just typed that!

Lindsey
Along the same lines as Sassy Momma’s comment…don’t wear light gray colored shorts to the gym and then ride the stationary bike…or do anything where you are sitting on a machine and there is a good chance your crotch and/or ass will sweat. It’s not cute. Lesson learned.

I keep mine shaved. I try no to do anything that will cause me to sweat, so no worries here.

Talk about TMI, lol… but that’s why I keep reading
I’ll remember never to do that! Oh and you are kicking ass on the walking – wtg!!

YAY YOU! I wished you lived closer to me. I’m training for this breast cancer 3 day and when I say training I mean trying not to die.

ouch! lol that’s why I don’t shave it – I just use a bikini trimmer to trim it all off. no stubbly regrowth! but yeah, on the bikini line, I do shave it occasionally and it sucks when it grows back in!

LMFAO! Pushed the kids, bootcamp style? Freaking hilarious. Dude, keep it shaved and it won’t itch.

Cece, don’t be sexist. You may well have some exercise-loving male readers who shave their crotches.
Ew. Sorry, I really shouldn’t have gone there.

If you shave it every day or every two days it doesn’t itch when you shave it any more. Problem solved.
