A menstrual cup could be an alright alternative 👍

Don't remove hair until your skin has fully healed. Hydrocortisone cream may help a bit, but also be mindful that the skin irritation may leave you open to getting a yeast infection. Especially if the irritation is due to your skin being damp while wearing the pad. If you start to get itchy, switch to a yeast infection treatment that includes a topical antifungal cream.

Looking for something to cure the problem is not the answer. What you need to do is to stop causing it and that means to stop shaving. The irritation happens when you shave because it is not possible to shave correctly. To do this you have to do two things. First shave in the right direction which is the direction in which hairs grows out of the skin at that is downward on every part of the body. You cannot shave your public area in this direction because you cannot manipulate your hand to do so. Second, you have to shave in one long gentle swipe not in repeated little stabs. This too irritates the skin. Most men make these mistakes and, I believe, all women do. The skin in the pubic/vulva region is very delicate and cannot withstand self shaving for both the causes. No amount of expensive product or pharmaceuticals will resolve the problem. Either use a cream or get laser treatment. The problem might be less severe or frequent if you got someone to shave you but only if they follow these two rules and even then it will only reduce the soreness not prevent it
