To ask for your help with my bikini line?!

[Whatabloodyidiot1]

Posting here for traffic, time is not on my side! And also (obviously) name changed.....
In an attempt to save time I have waxed my own bikini line with the dire-est of consequences, the top bit has come away beautifully but the wax has stuck firmly to both sides, I'm assuming at this point the wax cooled down, hence now it is stuck fast, red, and very very angry. I've never had syphilis but I imagine this is what it looks like.
All visions of myself slinking around the pool on holiday next week have dissolved entirely, unlike this wax.
Things I have tried:
Scrubbing with a flannel
Soaking it with water as hot as j can stand in an attempt to melt it whilst scrubbing with an exfoliating cloth.
Oils of every variety.
The box says 'excess wax will wash away with warm soapy water' THIS IS NOT FUCKING TRUE!!
It's a complete mess and I'm all out of ideas, can you help?! I can go and purchase any suggestions but short of sanding it off I'm losing hope.
It's not sticky BTW it's sort of plasticated, and shiny, like a an exhibit in the Gunter von hagens travelling show. And red, very very red, and sort of raised.
I'll stop now.

Christ. What a mess OP. Been following this from the start. No more home for you!

[EatsShitAndLeaves]

Sudocream - that's all I'm going to say....

[EatsShitAndLeaves]

Ok - I lied.

I've posted about this before under another name.

Thought I'd save money by buying a semi professional home waxing kit. How hard can it be?

Upshot was I chickened out half way after 2 mins and had to yell for DH to help.

Ended up legs akimbo on the lounge floor whilst he "sorted me out" making things worse than they were. Wax dribbling everywhere.....

Ended up nigh on bald (rather than a tidy) and wax all over the carpet.

Still had bits of wax sticking on me a week later and very bloody sore - only to be relived by sudocream.

Lesson learned. Waxing is only for professionals.

Sudocrem!! Forgot about that bad boy, it's on my list for tomorrow, I believe I may have angered it with a full day of constant scouring. Like when you look a rabid dog in the eye and it starts foaming.
I'm going to bed, spent, depleted and googling 'waterproof fanny concealer'.

[EatsShitAndLeaves]

Slather it on big time I used cling film to contain the cream it worked wonders.

[MerryMarigold]

Personally I think bepanthen is best. I even used it on sore nipples and it worked wonders!

[MerryMarigold]

Or this?

[Blarblarblar]

Clippers. Just whip it off you'll never get it off once it's dry.

[woodhill]

Surgical spirit.

I ended up bruising mine and had an angry purple mark, great.

I tend to use nair instead

Have you any 'Sticky Stuff Remover' Op?

I turned to it in desperation after a traumatic home wax sesh, I managed to stick lip to leg ( don't ask ) , crying with pain I had to shout DSs for help, they each went off in search of a cure. One came back with the stuff I use for removing labels. I saturated a facecloth and the wax with it and sobbed with shame for 20 mins while I held it there. It did come off.

[MerryMarigold]

oh Painted, your dses will have heard it all and be fully experienced by the time they have partners of their own!

[PaintedDrivesAndPolishedGrass]

merry they are 20 & 22 😃😃, when they shared the details with DS3 17, there was much laughter and references to Karate Kid, wax on wax off.

[Blarblarblar]

Your boys are amazing painted they will mock you forever for it no doubt.

Ask at a chemist for Zoff adhesive remover wipes. They're used for getting the sticky stuff off your skin when you've had plasters on. Might sting a bit on your bits but I'd say definitely worth a try!

Also, chuckling my head off at the suggestion of rubbing butter and flour - no one needs a bikini crumble!

[CatsNOwls]

Well, I've never done cosmetic wax, but generally the excess part means small parts.

If it's like regular wax, it should chip away, (use of tweezers may be necessary), otherwise I would recommend :

• Oil and cotton
  
• Wash-up liquid (second to last resort) around the edge and rub into side with scrubby sponge
  
• Old hot water bottle pressed on it
  
• Last resort, touch it on a radiator now and again. Give it only enough time for a little to come off and avoid burning your leg. REALLY NOT RECOMMENDED if you can help it, especially considering it's your bikini line

[Tenementfunster]

Swarfega?

[Unicorntrainer]

WD40? It does everything!

Sympathies OP, I would revert back to the coconut oil, maybe slightly warmed? And leave on for a few mins. Or buy a pack of wax strips that have those wipes for excess wax?

[2kids2dogsnosense]

Why us girls can't leave our fannies alone, I'll never know. In a similar predicament, I used baby oil (still took about 6 hours . . . )

[DoNotBlameMeIVotedRemain]

How about a bikini like this and forget the wax?

[Ememem84]

Agree. Just buy a different bikini. And then wait for the wax and/or hair to grow back. Then get a pro wax.

[Masketti]

Ouch that looks sore! It's far too late for you but I just added more hot wax on top and cracked on with tearing it all off. Stung like buggery but I imagine no worse than the pain you're in now. Lol at WD40!

[Cantusethatname]

Baby wipes.
Sorry I came late to this thread.

Baby wipes do it all - gloss paint, hair dye, home wax...

[bec18]

Have you tried applying more wax? Then try and use a strip to remove it?

[CwtchyQ]

I just came to say - sweet baby J

I have no idea, though sudocrem, like a whole bloody tub of it on, sounds good
