Here's a thread for the ladies to discuss anything that relates to women and swimming. For example, feel free to discuss how disgustingly ugly fastskins are, how the "curse" can kill a meet, how suits don't fit, how swimming wrecks your hair, how hormones unhinge you, etc.

I have a new question for the women. I searched but didn't find any guidance on this topic. I am having a miserable time with razor burn in my bikini area. I soak in the tub for over an hour and then shave with a new razor with shaving cream. And still it hurts, is red and furious and I am getting itchy sore bumps.
Can we discuss the merits of waxing vs shaving vs what else is there?
I am seriously considering buying one of those technical suits with shorty legs (which I absolutely do not need) just to escape the horror of depilation.

Geek's experience w/ Laser hair removal is dead on right. It is the best thing to happen for swimmers since hand paddles. It's not cheap (a LZR is less expensive), but it works.
