Jesus fuck, my fanny is on fire!

So, tired of stubble down there, I thought I might achieve a smoother result with hair removal cream. Chose a sensitive skin/ bikini-line safe one, didn't bother patch testing just slathered it right on.

When I rinsed in the shower it felt like I was pouring acid onto myself, it burns when I walk or move and I'm fucking terrified of what'll happen when I need to pee so torn between crossing my legs and leaving them open in hope of "airing" my afflicted area.

Now walking like John Wane and have a fanny slathered in half a tub of Sudocrem.

Cheer me up with similar tales of personal grooming gone wrong/ advice on how to stop the pain.

I once tried sugaring mine in the days when that was a thing. Tub of very sticky stuff that you had to heat up, apply, allow to set, then rip off. There was very little in the bathroom that didn't end up stuck to my fanny. Then my legs got stuck together. I had to run a hot bath to get it off. Never removed any hair.

Yup, whilst on vacation I decided things were in need of a quick groom. Bought hair removal cream in a local store. Apparently, ingredients include molten lava as the burning pain on my lady parts were intense. Everything kind of blew up and was raw. A friend read the ingredients for me and first on the list was lye!

Ouch!!! I was going to say sudocream too, channel your inner nappy rashed toddler. I hope it clears soon, did you take the whole lot? I know putting loads of natural yoghurt on a st is good for thrush, not the same but it would cool the fire maybe?

Remember the poster whose husband had been cannily nicking her facial wipes to use?

Except she didn't buy facial wipes - it was the antibacterial toilet wipes.

He eventually mentioned to her they were making his face raw...😂

My Grandad once made a huge fuss about the disgusting new toothpaste and it turned out he was using a tube of Immac.
