Today, I tried giving myself a bikini wax for the first time, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do it right. Now I'm laying on my couch with a wet rag and ice inbetween my legs. FML

Today, I tried shaving my bikini area for the first time. I ended up cutting myself several times. I now have impressive razor burn, and it's incredibly painful to even wear pants. FML

Today, while waxing my bikini line, my husband thought it would be funny to scare me which caused me to close my legs. I am now sitting in the sink with my best friend pouring hot water "down there" trying to remove the wax. FML

Today, I tried waxing for the first time. At first it felt like I'd dipped my balls in a furnace. Now I can't even feel them. FML

Waxing pubical

By Anonymous - 10/10/2019 16:00

Today, I was waxing my legs and somehow dropped an enormous dollop of hot wax on my naked crotch. I refused to yank it off, but still had to cut it off with scissors. So now I have a huge patch of pubic hair way shorter than the rest of it. It looks a right mess FML

Pussy power

Today, my fiancé is returning home, so I decided to wax myself, thinking things would get intimate. I warmed the wax strips and set them on the counter. Our cat jumped onto the counter and managed to roll onto one of the strips. Suffice to say, the wrong pussy got a painful waxing. FML

Waxing and waning

Today, being tired of all the shrubbery growing “downstairs”, I decided to give my lady bits a good waxing. So, naturally, I now have a tiny tear in my right labia and I'm scratching my itchy buttcrack with an old toothbrush. FML

Today, I shaved my legs for the first time in three weeks. It took half an hour, three disposable razors, and I cut my legs up so badly they look worse then they did when they were hairy. FML

Today, I got a Brazilian wax in anticipation of becoming intimate for the first time this weekend with a man I have dated for a few weeks. I'm so sore it hurts just to walk. FML

Today, I decided to conquer my fear of blades, and tried shaving my legs with a razor. I sat on the side of my bathtub and wet my legs, but some of the water splashed. I slipped on it and fell back, hitting my head on the tile wall and slicing my leg open at the same time. FML

ok one: unless you are a pro or have actually bikini waxed before like in a course. NEVER EVER do it yourself. two: there us such a thing as hot wax and strip wax, and depending on what you are using you have to apply the wax a certain way and pull a certain way. three: If you are a girl, waxing in that area is more painful when you are or close to having, your period. fourthly: you have to taught (pull your skin tight) your skin so it is less painful. the softer or flexiable the skin the more chances it will hurt and brusies will form.

I did my first bikini wax myself too because I didn't have enough money to get it done professionally. I feel your pain, trust me.

Those at home waxing kits usually suck. If you are going to wax yourself definitely get one of the wax melting pots and the proper professional wax from somewhere like Sallys. I give myself a Brazillian wax every couple of weeks and that is what I do. Of course, it's better to go to a professional waxer the first couple of times so you can observe how they do the waxing. I had a waxer do mine the first couple of times before I got tired of spending the money and decided to rip out my own hair. For bikini lines, it's much better to use this stuff called "Brazillian Hard Wax" that doesn't use the strips. Much better for yanking that type of hair.

No, it sounds like you did it right. Get someone to run out and get you: 1. Alcohol free witchazel 2. Emu oil (I know it sounds weird, but it's easier to get than you think, some home wax kits include it)

Agreed. Even if waxing is done right, it will hurt like hell. Besides the treatments mentioned above, it apparently helps to take some ibuprofen about half an hour before your wax. It'll help with the pain and help the area from getting too inflamed.
