to be quite cross at MN

[MissVerinder]

Because I have just Veeted my "bikini line" and instead of leaving it on for the maximum ten minutes, it's been on for sixteen, as I was reading AIBU?

The pain..... I am walking round with a cold flannel I'm my pants and it's all your fault.

*in, stupid phone.

YABU

It's not MN's fault that you have no self-control :o

I'm cross because I know more about strangers' undercarriages than I ever intended to know in my lifetime.

Was it the Veet that's specifically for bikini line/underarms? I once used the leg stuff under my arms, it was all inflamed and blistered for days afterwards [ouch emoticon]

But calling technically this is a public service to warn against Maintenance whilst Mumsmetting.

Ouch.

last time i veeted i was going away with DH for a weekend of shagging.

i smothered my whole legs, fanjo, pits, everywhere from chin down.

the reaction left me itchy, spotty and bleeding and so sore i couldn't be touched, let alone shag.

that was also MNs fault as i got sidetracked.

MissP it is indeed the correct Veet.

I have some aloe vera gel somewhere, or would vinegar be better?

I must have the hide of a rhino, left mine on for 20 mins the other day and all was well

< offers MissVerinder unused aloe gel >

I used the leg version on my Tallulah a couple if years ago. I left it on for twice the time cos it was like the Amazon rainforest. I went for the full Hollywood... Oh my fucking god, the pain.. It took the top layer of skin off and I had to carry a tube of Germolene in my bag for the whole of the next day at work.

I almost called in sick.

"Hi, I won't be in today, I have a LABIAL EMERGENCY!"

That's why I love my slightly evil epilator!

Vinegar

:o at 'labial emergency'

I am trying to be clever, thinking the acid in the vinegar will counteract the alkali of the Veet.

DP seems especially enthusiastic about the vinegar, so, given his sadistic nature, I'm using the gel!

'labial emergency'

Poultry 20 minutes? ! ? ! Eeeep!

Savlon.

You EPILATE your vag? Are you fucking insane?!

Sudocreme.....sort it right out. Been there, done that!!

I have Savlon, I have Sudocreme; on it!

Good grief, is an epilator one of those plucky thingies? Suzy?

a must when timing and MN :)

Any mention of Veet reminds me of the MNer who Veeted her baby by accident...

But isn't Veet for cleaning the plughole?

How did someone veer their baby by accident?

Doing her legs baby on the floor a bit slipped of her leg

Babys look good in hats fortunatly!

I'm also I the 'hide of a rhino' camp too it would seem.

OP I have done the same before so I feel your pain but I am still laughing

I havent veeted since
