:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: Oh lord, forgive me for my sins! How could I have been so stupid?!? I told my girlfriend time and time again not to leave me alone; I get bored and do stupid shit! I’ve been like this all my life. I mean, it says right on the package not to use on genitalia, but this is female Nair, I thought I was exempt! My scrotum just covers my genitalia, it’s not techinically it! I was born under a bad sign, the devil made me do it, it’s not my fault, I’ll be a good boy mommy! :smack: :smack: :smack: :smack: :smack: Just make the burning stop! ---

Did it get rid of the hair at least? ---

Nope. Not that I’m a very hairy guy to begin with, I was just screwing around, but it takes 4 minutes. I estimate I lasted about 45 seconds. ---

I thought this was going to be the urban legend, about the guy who wakes up with a hangover and a really itchy crotch after getting drunk and pissing off his girlfriend the night before… ---

Tell me this was not because you saw that thread and thought “Hm. Waxing sounds painful…think I’ll try Nair instead…” 😛 ---

I use the Veet there regularly and haven’t had any problems. Maybe I’ve desensitized my ballsack ☹ ---

No no no no no… You’re supposed to use _NADS_ on your nads. I just love those Nads commercials. ---

I was planning on the mousse, but when I got to the store I couldn’t remember if it was the mousse or lotion that had been recommended. The lotion had a “sensitive skin” variety and was a little cheaper, so I use that. Once it’s gone I’ll try the mousse too. ---

The lotion had a “sensitive skin” variety and was a little cheaper, so I use that. Once it’s gone I’ll try the mousse too. Is this stuff made to remove hair? I’ve been keeping my scrot’ covered with extra strength neosporin + pain relief but I’m pretty sure I have chemical burns. The skin is all red and blotchy and slighty moist with a pus-like substance and **incredibly** sensitive. ---

You think that’s bad? Try getting Marzena Hair Remover Lotion (with new inhibitor!) on your vulva( or, insert name for very sensitive and unprotective skin around vagina here.) ! Now that hurt for days! ---

The skin is all red and blotchy and slighty moist with a pus-like substance and **incredibly** sensitive. Yup, works like a charm. Doesn’t really feel like anything while it’s on, the bottle recommends 5 minutes, more if that doesn’t work, and no more than 10 total. I do 7 or 8 just to be sure it does the job. When I rinse and wash it all away it burns just a little bit, just a little more sensitive overall, but that only lasts a few minutes. Seriously, I hope my balls are just pain-resistant, and not desensitized in general.
