Health: Today, because I have a beach party tomorrow, I used a new gel...

By moncheri1314 - 10/09/2010 16:13 - France

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 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 got the worst sunburn I've ever had in my life, and then discovered I'm allergic to aloe when I went to treat the burn with some gel. FML

Itchy and scratchy

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 decided to try a new hair removal cream. Turns out, I'm allergic to it. My face now looks like a tomato with eyebrows. 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

Nair do well

Today, I wanted to look really good for my date. I was a little self-conscious, so I decided to use Nair on my upper lip just in case I had a female mustache. Unfortunately, it turns out I'm allergic to Nair. Now I DO have a mustache. A rash mustache. 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

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

Nice spread

Today, I got a new skin cream for my acne. I tested it on a small patch of skin just to make sure I wasn't allergic. I was, and the reaction didn't stay on that small patch of skin. My left arm is now almost entirely covered in a horrible rash. FML

Today, I found out I'm allergic to bug repellent. So instead of having a couple of itchy bug bites, my skin feels like it's on fire and is violently itchy everywhere the repellent has touched. FML

Haha, wow. You really should've tested it out waaaay before that party, bad luck with that sort of thing always happens when you spontaneously try something. xD At least it never fails for me. FYL, OP, but you sorta deserve it. Hope no one makes fun of you too bad. :p

It's your own fault for not testing the product first. Put on a pair of shorts and get on with your life.

How would you know? How often do you get rid of your bikini line?

Almost everyday lol Na these days everything from hair dye to carpet cleaner has a warning on it to test it first on a small area to avoid situations exactly like this

I agree with the idea to wear boyshorts. I have a pair, and unless you slathered it on your entire upper thigh too, it should cover it. Or wear regular shorts and get there with a bag, look inside, and exclaim, "Holy shit! where did my bikini go!? Oh well, I'll just swim in my clothes."

Isn't it funny how people always comment on here with things like "get on with your life" or "stop whining and complaining" when that's the whole point of this website?? FYLives and bring that snootiness to another website you snobby grumps!
