So ever since I got pregnant when I shave my legs I get razor burn. I've changed the razor head, shave with sensitive shaving cream, wash my legs before shaving nothing helps. anyone have suggestions? I'm 9 weeks today and a ftm!

baby oil/gel! I think I read about that on pinterest too! I'll try both options, something has to work! lol

Thanks ladies! I've been putting cocoa butter lotion on my legs and it burns so bad. Guess its time for a new lotion! Lol VeroRt do you put the mixture on before or after you shave?

After i shave, i wash with my soap then when im totally done before getting out of the shower i put baby oil or baby oil gel on my legs. Then get out of the shower. Dont use an excess amount bc then you feel gross. And i end up wiping most of it off when i dry my legs. But this has helped me alot! I prefer the gel, but which ever you prefer!

you rub that on after, or you use it to shave?! I'll try anything! lol

I experienced this too until a friend of mine recommended olive oil and sugar mixed together instead of soap. I swear by it now!! No irritation and it makes my legs super soft! You can find recipes for it online =)

well maybe I need to try a new lotion then.. I have a good moisturizing lotion I've been using, but maybe it's just not good enough with all these pregnancy hormones! lol

I'm 36 weeks and have suffered with this too what I do is after my shower I always put lotIon on and I do my legs immediately I use lotIon from body and bath and it works great but when I ran out as (I live in a small town v and travel and hour to the mall where I go) it was horrible other lotIon did nothing so I think you have to invest in a really good lotIon

bump!! - I'd get razor burn every now & then too, but since I got pregnant my legs itch sooooo bad a day or 2 after I shave too! I'd love to know something that would help also!!! lol
