First off, let me preface this with full acknowledgment that you may want to laugh when you read it. So if you get done laughing and have some sympathy, that's cool too.
Now...
Not to be too graphic but here goes.
I like to have my pubic hair short. Not shaved because that kind of ooks me out (like why would I want to look like a child?) but short so that it's manageable and clean and such. So every month or so, when I have a chance I use electric trimmers to shave it short. It of course takes a confluence of events (mainly, someone else watching the child and being clean/not too sweaty but having time to take a shower after). Well this week was a watershed in anti-hair. I went and got the hair on my head cut (yay!) then used the trimmer on my pubic hair, then got in the shower and shaved not just my legs but my bikini line too. Yay right?
So far, so good right?
Except, I have amazingly coarse, thick, curly hair (everywhere). So I have a problem with ingrown hairs. I don't shave my bikini line frequently because those hairs get ingrown. Well, yesterday morning I went to the gym and did an hour on the eliptical. With each step, I could feel my hairs getting caught in my bike shorts and pulling. By yesterday afternoon, I had the most amazingly painful sore spot on my... let's say very private area... from friction/ingrown hairs. I've gotten the hairs out but it hurts like hell. I couldn't workout today and stayed home from work because I couldn't imagine wearing pants all day.
Ouch!
