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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

I always use a "lady shave". At least that's what it's called here. It's electric. I've never used a razor before & I also don't really think I ever will.

... Why didn't you stop when you first cut yourself?

Never heard someone call it a "bikini area"

It's referred to as such because it's generally just the hairs that pop out and show when you're wearing a bikini that you remove!

put some cream on it or deodorant

Furthers my opinion that wearing pants is over rated.

If it was your first time OP you may have gone "against the grain" and from experience you never go against the grain of the hair ( only area on the body you can't) always go with the hair grain or you're entire bikini region will be red bumps and soar as hell!

I do both. I have shaved regularly for a few years now. I don't get nearly as bothered as I used to

Cutting while shaving down there is one of my biggest fears. Thankfully I've avoided it so far. It helps if you have a good razor with a flexible head. Do it Very slowly, and not in the shower the first few times. For now, just focus on keeping the area very clean and aired. So skirts are a plus for that, not just your comfort. Honestly, the hair is there for a reason (shaving being hygienic is a myth!), so never feel ashamed if you don't feel it's worth it to get rid of it.

I don't think I would wear pants... just basketball shorts. Boss: Why are you wearing those? Me: They are basically medicated.
