bikini line HELP!!

I have tried everything to have smooth skin on my bikini line except going to a salon for waxing as my skin is too sensitive. no matter what shaving routine I do it still ends up all broken, red, bumpy and gross looking. I can always see the follicles too so I try to hide it with concealer but I don't want to have to do that Everytime I want to wear a swimsuit. I've tried exfoliating days before, day of, even tweezing, Nair, waiting until end of shower, deodorant. I just can't figure it out. someone please help or does someone even know what I'm talking about with the follicles??
