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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

monistat brand makes a gel that changes to a powder, called chaffing cream..made for exactly this purpose...i swear by it, works on Razer burn, cuts, rashes...etc. Wal-Mart carries it. not expensive and non irritants. maybe you should pick some up, may help you as well. hope u feel better soon. also, shaving is a little easier when done under the water in the bath...at least this is my experience.

Or even putting polysporn on the razor burn will help. It will take away the pain after a few minutes.

Have you tried an electric trimmer op? Might work better. Hope you feel better!

Call me next time. I'll come over and do it for you no charge. Well unless you let it get to the jungle bush stage.

You shouldn't use shaving cream on your area. it can help cause razor burn because it is sensitive flesh. it is best to use a dove soap or any kind of plain conditioner. after shaving, make sure to wash the area really well and then coat it with an unscented lotion. I shave my area regularly and was actually given this advice by a guy who shaves.

Coconut oil (raw) is way better than lotion. As Coconut oil is even safe to use as lube (except for with condoms).

It's best to use a 4 or 5 blade Venus razor with shaving cream
