Health: Today, I decided to be safe and tested a small dime-sized amount...

Today, I decided to be safe and tested a small dime-sized amount of Nair on my inner arm before using it. I didn't react badly. But as soon as it was washed off from my down-there hair I sure as hell reacted, with small bumpy red dots that look like an STD. 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

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

Rash beard

Today, I was eating out with my partner, and we decided to use the new lube we bought. Things went great until I later realized I was allergic to it and a large red rash spread all across my mouth and chin. It won't go away. FML

Red alert

By nobleach - 02/07/2009 14:05 - United States

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

Sliced

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 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 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 applying some Icy Hot to my sore thighs, when I accidentally got a little on my dime sacks. For the next hour, it felt like someone had lit a match under my plums. FML

Today, I found an invisible ink pen. I drew on my arms, thinking nobody would see it. I had an allergic reaction to the ink, and I now have three very large, very visible, red penises on my forearm. FML

Bumpy ride

By Anonymous - 16/07/2021 04:01

Today, I have a skin disease that causes my arms and legs to have small, but noticeable, red bumps on them. Trying to stay confident, I put on a swimsuit and went to the pool, only to be bumped into by a cute guy, who then asked why my arms were so "bumpy and disgusting." FML

you're not supposed to use it on your vj, dumbass. the skin there is so much more sensitive than the rest of your body. YDI for not reading the ******* label.

I thought they had special Nair for the bikini line and pubic hair? You aren't supposed to use the normal one, it can make you bleed among other things. But even if you didn't, still. That sucks. Waxing is a good alternative.

YDI for using it on your pubic area. Even if you buy the special formula of Nair it's only for your BIKINI LINE. Please read instructions.

Mordella, you got it right. Any "full body" Nair product is for anywhere BUT that area. And the bikini line Nair product is exactly for just the bikini line. And hate to say it to you, but once the hair down there starts growing in, you're going to have to deal with a lot of ingrown hairs. Would hate to be in your situation.

Where else would she test it? She was probably looking for a little spot of sensitive skin in a non-embarrassing area.

use baby powder after you shower...that will help the redness and swelling or diaper ointment both are made to help sooth redness and swelling in those very sensitive areas

bc it still requires you to test on a small patch of skin and most ppl dont test shit out down there

Yeah, LexiBro, totally and utterly incorrect. You literally just stated the exact opposite of the truth. Gynos specifically suggest that you don't shave down there, at least no completely, due to the fact that pubic hair does, in fact, have a purpose. Without it you're more susceptible to disease, yeast infections, etc. But as someone else said, I have nothing against waxing or shaving and I completely understand why people choose to do it, but at least get your facts straight.

tea tree oil is the best, I need to wax/shave my pubic hair all the time and especially around the time I'm starting to get all pmsy I get super sensitive and am prone to red bumps etc. so I swear by tea tree oil, baby powder is also good, or just plain old sorbolene cream
