Today, I tried giving myself a bikini wax for the first time, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do it right. Now I'm laying on my couch with a wet rag and ice inbetween my legs. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, while waxing my bikini line, my husband thought it would be funny to scare me which caused me to close my legs. I am now sitting in the sink with my best friend pouring hot water "down there" trying to remove the wax. FML
Today, I tried waxing for the first time. At first it felt like I'd dipped my balls in a furnace. Now I can't even feel them. FML
Today, I was waxing my legs and somehow dropped an enormous dollop of hot wax on my naked crotch. I refused to yank it off, but still had to cut it off with scissors. So now I have a huge patch of pubic hair way shorter than the rest of it. It looks a right mess FML
Today, I tried to wax my own Brazilian. My housemate’s cat rolled onto a half-used wax strip on the floor. The poor cat now has a small, less-fluffy patch, and I still haven’t figured out how to wax myself. FML
Today, I attempted to wax my "lady area". It hurt more than losing my virginity. FML
Today, my fiancé is returning home, so I decided to wax myself, thinking things would get intimate. I warmed the wax strips and set them on the counter. Our cat jumped onto the counter and managed to roll onto one of the strips. Suffice to say, the wrong pussy got a painful waxing. FML
Today, being tired of all the shrubbery growing “downstairs”, I decided to give my lady bits a good waxing. So, naturally, I now have a tiny tear in my right labia and I'm scratching my itchy buttcrack with an old toothbrush. 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, I got a Brazilian wax in anticipation of becoming intimate for the first time this weekend with a man I have dated for a few weeks. I'm so sore it hurts just to walk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

ok one: unless you are a pro or have actually bikini waxed before like in a course. NEVER EVER do it yourself. two: there us such a thing as hot wax and strip wax, and depending on what you are using you have to apply the wax a certain way and pull a certain way. three: If you are a girl, waxing in that area is more painful when you are or close to having, your period. fourthly: you have to taught (pull your skin tight) your skin so it is less painful. the softer or flexiable the skin the more chances it will hurt and brusies will form.

HONESTLY PPL R SILLY!! U didn't think maybe u should not wax that area by urself?? especially if ur not a professional or have never done it by urself!?? YDI

Some people don't have enough money to get it professionally waxed...

I never once said go to a professional! I said if ur not a professional don't attempt by urself meaning she should have a friend or something help her out!

my first time getting a brazilian i had it professionally done. i couldn't walk straight for almost 48 hrs and i was black and blue (with some blood). apparently she failed to mention that that's what happens the first time (when you have sensitive skin). it gets easier each time after. don't give up :)

WOAH! You definitely need to get a better waxer if you aren't being dramatic. That is NOT normal. It should be tender for about a day, but not "black and blue" making you "unable to walk for 48 hours". They sound like they need their license pulled.

agreed. waxing is painful without numbing cream but should not leave black, blue or blood. the area should just be red and sensitive for a few hrs but you should be able to walk fine even after it's done. and yes waxing when u r pmsing will hurt more.

why would you torture yourself to modify your body in some unnatural way? if you have stray hairs in a bikini, why not just buy swimwear that properly covers you? i always wear boy swim shorts so i can swim without worrying about hair showing or having to waste time on painful hair removal - so liberating!

I agree, why do some of us girls want to go through so much pain for this? I mean I can understand wanting to keep it neat down there, but trimming is perfectly good for that, and doesn't hurt.

Some of us prefer to have no hair. Its much cleaner and nicer, and most guys prefer it. I just find it incredible amounts more comfortable to get rid of the hair somehow. I've never been game enough to wax though >.>

Technically it's no cleaner/unhygenic whichever way. The rest is opinion, I'll give you that. It's just, why do something that's going to hurt like a b*tch to remove something natural? I mean fair enough, not got anything against people that do, I just can't understand why. Especially when there's alternative ways to remove the hair there anyway, such as shaving or trimming. Though I suppose it could be to avoid the issues with shaving...

Some girls, like myself, hate having hair on their mons/vulva. I don't actually do it for my bf (although I'm sure it makes some things easier for him!), I just prefer to be smooth for me. I apply the same theory to my armpits and legs. I prefer waxing/epilating because I hate shaving and would rather go through a little pain and be hair free for weeks. Although I suppose giving yourself a Brazilian isn't that pleasant and I would say most should go to a professional unless you have a good pain tolerance.

I'd say go to a proffessional even if you have a high pain tolerance. I have a reasonably high pain tolerance and having waxed my legs and pits I would not want to wax down there.

You go! Boy shorts all the way...much more practical if you ask me. Personally, I don't go to the beach to have people gawk at me, but rather to enjoy the sports and nature. Waxing there is pointless if you ask me. And if you're worried about your BF, he should love you either way, if he really cares :)

cinn... op could've been a guy!? op... are you a girl, or a guy? cause guys legs are pretty hairy to get waxed.
Cinn_fml 23
