Hair removal warning

[twoluvlykids]

On Friday, I looked in the mirror and thought "Hmm, no chance of getting that waxed off today" (Bank Holiday) so smeared some rather old hair removal cream over my upper lip.

Wiped it off, no result, so slapped some equally old but different cream on, thought "Ow! That's a bit hot", wiped it off, and sure enough, there's a little burn!

Thankfully, it's only a small patch, and healing quite well, but I did have the piss taken out of me!

Can anyone sympathize and tell me their worst disasters?

I did that to my legs and, ahem, area once, oww oww oww! Have never used hair removal cream since!

Oh, oww! And ever after burning myself, the bloody hairs were still there!!!

At least I've managed to get the air to the burn, Pawslikepaddington - but did you have to go commando???

Oh yeah, the damn hairs don't come off-you still have to shave them off afterwards!! Never, ever again!!! Hair removal cream is evil!

That looks painful, KerryMumbles. Is it like a closely coiled spring?

Hi,
Can anyone give me the name of this spring coil thingy, how much do they cost and where I could buy one from please.

Sorry - eventually sorted it myself. Clicked on KeryMumbles 'here' and clicked on buy one in the bar at the top.

I used that Veet 'in shower' hair removal cream on my legs and bikini area the day before I went on holiday.

Followed the instructions to the letter, but I broke out in hives all over my legs and bikini area every time I went into a swimming pool or the sea.

It's back to a leg and bikini wax for me.

had to go to the hospital for some laser tretament, i'd been before a few times and the Dr that does it was gorgeous.

night before i decided to do some de fuzzing so bought some of that veet stuff. i normally waxed but didn't get round to doing it.
anyway, smacked teh stuff on as directed, followed all the instructions ot the letter.

within about a minute i felt a rather warm sensation. i thought it was just the cream working. i'd never used it before.
after 2 minutes it became clear that teh cream works by setting fire to your pubes!!
my fanjo was burning and i couldn't wash the stuff off quick enough!

when i got to the Dr, rather than seeing a slightly fuzzy fanjo he was looking a a very red, itchy bit of roadkill.

i never did get his number

I used an eyebrow waxing strip on my top lip tash - pulled a lump of skin off. The pain, I can barely describe the pain.....

The first time I tried leg waxing I was 16. I got one of those types you microwave, thought I could handle it. So am sitting at the kitchen table with leg up on a chair, mother looking on bemusedly, smearing hot wax all over the front of my leg (no test patches for me!!!).

It soon transpired that I did NOT have what it took to rip my own hair out by the roots. The wax started to cool and harden, and eventually my mom had to rip it off for me. Basically some skin came off, but hardly any hair!

I didn't attempt any sort of waxing for about 8 years. Then was on that fateful UK study tour and we were staying at a spa hotel. I'd been reading too many women's magazines and wandered into the spa, confidently asking for a 'Brazilian' (I was somewhat confused and didn't understand exactly what that entailed). There was a lot of swearing, and I came out with a fairly basic bikini line cleanup--thank god the woman figured out I had no idea what I wanted!
