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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, because I have a beach party tomorrow, I used a new gel that is supposed to prevent razor burn after shaving the bikini line. Turns out I'm highly allergic to the gel. Now I have hundreds of beautiful red bumps that look like razor burn. FML
Today, I attempted to bleach my body hair so I wouldn't have to shave. A little while later, I realized that I'd also succeeded in bleaching my skin, which was incredibly noticeable. I'm hosting a pool party this weekend. FML
Today, I found out the reason I've been itchy for the last two weeks is because I'm now allergic to chlorine. I'm also a swimming instructor. 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 had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, I used a new fragrance-free hypoallergenic laundry detergent for my underwear, as I have sensitive skin. I got a rash. 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, I discovered that I have developed an allergy to salt water on my face. Now, every time I sweat or cry, I come up in a bright red rash. I am allergic to my own bodily fluids. FML
Today, I was getting ready for a very unpleasant doctor's appointment. I got out of the shower and used a new body spray all over my torso and arms. Turns out I'm allergic to it and now my skin is on fire, so now I get to go to an already uncomfortable appointment even more uncomfortable than I'd planned. FML
Today, I went to the store and bought some cream to help with a sunburn I'd gotten a few days ago. What's worse than having red, peeling, and painful skin? An allergic reaction on top of it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

wear shorts with your bathing suit... besides you supposed to test a small area of skin to see if you're allergic beforehand!

LOL whatttt? You'd rather bleach the hair then get it waxed/chemically removed? I would nottt put bleach there

I don't think it's that you're allergic to bleach so much as it is that bleaching an area that has ingrown hairs is probably as irritating as waxing it.....

YDI sooo much for not testing before hand, there is a reason they always say to do that before bleaching or dying anything.

To everyone saying wear shorts: where I live, there is a specific swimsuit you MUST wear to lifeguard in, in which case she would not be allowed to wear a skirt/shorts. That may be the OPs case.

This is why they tell you to test in a small spot.

Next time, use Magic Shaving Powder. That stuff works, and works well. It's good if you want to go completely hairless, or if you're just looking to trim the hedge.

This is why you're supposed to test it on a small patch of skin first, like the directions say, but I'm still sorry.
