AIBU?

To ask for your help with my bikini line?!

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.

Could you ring the manufacturer? They may have a solution. Failing that you might get a voucher for some free wax. Grin

If you can get somebody to call in at your local salon, they will have wax remover.

It looks VERY sore and angry but I couldn't see any wax? Confused I'll admit I dididn't zoom in and look in minute detail though. How is it now?

I must admit I had a little chuckle to myself lol.

Ok, a full day of sudocrem appears to have reduced the redness, it is however, still plainly evident, still resembles mince but more Turkey than beef.....
I go on Wednesday so I shall continue the sudocrem until them .....I shall keep all interested parties up to do date!!

Can't believe we've had a 'something's stuck' thread and no one's suggested sex lube and a fish slice.

Well, if the OP can't get rid of the wax at least she'll have some cake to eat.


I die!

No practical advice-but made me think of this

Are you sure there is wax there or is it just the hair follicles irritated?

Look up a mobile beauty therapist! That's what you need, surely one will help you.

To be honest, I think a therapist might be out now. I wouldn't want to risk causing you any harm so I would refer you to a doctor.

Have you tried Bepanthen? Just with it being an ointment and oily it may help a bit more. Just a though
