How to shave the “down there hair”

Girls, I don’t shave down there. I got a big ole bush which usually I don’t mind and my husband also doesn’t mind, but I want to wear a freaking bikini this summer.

I live by the ocean and usually wear boy short swimsuit bottoms for obvious reasons and I’m just kind of done. I want to be free and wear normal bikini swim bottoms.

The problem is that I am sooo sensitive down there. Even if I TRIM my pubic hair too short, it gets super itchy and irritated and doesn’t go away for like days.

Any recommendations? I have shaved before but it’s always hell for me. But I’m tired of not being able to wear a bathing suit comfortably. I have never waxed how is that for sensitive skin? How long does it last?

Also, I don’t want to go bare just want to make sure no hair shows through.

So I was wondering what you ladies do and if you have any tips. Thank you!
