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.

Put some aloe on it.

Shaving Tips: 1. There is a shaving cream out there called Coochy Cream, I highly recommend that. 2. Shave with the grain of your hair, rather that against it, this will greatly reduce razor bumps. 3. Lotion the area afterwards, this also reduces razor bumps. 4. You can also put a bit of tea tree oil on the area as well right now, this will probably get rid of your current bumps, but I mix a little in with my lotion and I almost never get razor bumps.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure how this happened unless you were dry shaving. Dry shaving is a big NO NO. I've gotten rid of most of my hair on my bikini line through laser but when I had thick growth (gotta love those Indian genes) the trick was trim the hair down (if you let it grow out over winter/got lazy) then soap up and shave in the shower. Make sure you don't have a dull razor and take your time, don't rush.

Put deodorant on the razor burn. It should help

I know the feeling, I attempted it when I was 12 without telling my mom because I thought I was a freak because i couldn't wear a bikini. So, I did it by myself. Needless to say I wasn't wearing a bikini any time soon after that.

Next time think about using a “Professional” groomer.

When you shave "below" apply lotion immediately after, the at least when you wake up and before bed. I recommend even more than that.

Tip: use a sharp razor, make sure to trim the hair before shaving, use shaving cream, and moisturize after.
