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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, it turned out the razor I used for manscaping wasn't as new and sharp as I'd thought. My entire crotch is now overcome with an unfathomable amount of razor burn. 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, while shaving my nether regions, I slipped and sliced myself in three separate places. They won't completely stop bleeding. I'm virtually having a second period, and it hurts to close my legs. FML
Today, I accidentally cut myself with a razor blade on my toe. Not only does it sting really badly, but it reinforces the fact that I have abnormally hairy toes that need to be shaved. FML
Today, I was in a rush to get ready for work so I quickly shaved my legs. In my haste, I accidentally nicked myself in a very sensitive area and had to spend the day simmering in discomfort and checking my crotch every so often to make I wasn't bleeding through my pants. 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
Today, my fiancé asked me to do some manscaping. I got a little overzealous and now I look like a 12-year-old boy with razor burn. FML
Today, I decided to take a relaxing shower. My face mask made my face break out in hives. While exfoliating, my nipples became chafed. Then I slipped and cut myself while shaving. FML
Today, I was going to bleach my bikini line, as I have not been able to shave there due to some ingrown hairs, and I also have to lifeguard every day. As it turns out, I'm allergic to the bleach. There is now an angry red, burning rash on my crotch that you can see around my swimsuit. FML
Today, I was shaving my underarms, when I heard a noise. I quickly turned my head to see what it was and got the razor caught in my hair. I'm now sporting a very attractive bald patch. FML

Try shaving cream next time.

If your razor was dull that could have caused it- otherwise you should invest in higher quality razors and shaving cream. Your comfort is worth a few more dollars.

Soak in warm water for a while before, OP! Always use a new razor and change every 3 months (depends on how often you use it though). Also use lots of shaving cream and never run the razor over a shaving cream-less area. And finally, always go the way the hair grows, never against it. OR if that's too much for you, there's always waxing or just going natural? :)

Maybe try waxing next time :)

I'm surprised more people aren't suggesting waxing! Takes a bit of psyching yourself up to but beats hours of discomfort, and the stubble!

Put conditioner or raw coconut oil for 5 minutes beforehand to soften the follicle, use warm water, shave with the grain first stroke, against second. After rinsing well put a thin layer of coconut oil on, and if razor burn persists soak a cloth in hot water and press against the irritated area several times a day until irritation goes away.

The pants solution is easy. Shave them for later xD

You probably should've stopped after the first few cuts. Just saying...

solution: stop wearing pants. wear a skirt.

Not a solution. You're still going to have "bits" that are between your legs that will be irritated too.

I'm assuming panties irritates her too, so unless she's brave enough to go commando, skirts are out of the list.
