The Woes Of Nair

[BabyPikachu]

Ok so you have hair you want to remove.... I tried the Nair approach ONCE and will NEVER do it again. I bought the Nair from my local drugstore. The clerk was female and gave me a weird look when I bought it. I felt very exposed when she looked at me that way as I handed her the Nair. Anyway, I took it home and stripped. Jumped into a bathtub full of warm water and soaked for a bit. Then drained out all the water and started to apply the Nair. I started with my legs first, Then moved to my belly, I read the Nair bottle's directions and followed it to the letter. I sat there for a few mins. Man did it stink! I then washed off the Nair with warm water. SWEET! The hair was gone!

Ok I said to myself. I then decided to apply the Nair to my "unit". It felt really cool going on. After I was satisfied I had all areas covered I sat for a couple of mins. I then washed off the Nair with warm water once again. However, I noticed my crotch was extremely sensitive to the warm water. What felt like luke warm water to my hand felt like burn your tong hot! Thinking it was the Nair product reacting to the water somehow I poured more water onto the area to make sure it was off. Now the area was on fire! I became alarmed and started to panic. I read the bottle over and over again and could not find anything that said this might happen. A few mins passed and soon all I could focus on was the burnin g my crotch was going through. It was like someone just submerged your hand into boiling water. The pain was horrific. I got out the bathroom "naked" and ran to my room to turn on my fan. I directed the wind towards my crotch thinking it would make it feel better. WRONG!!!!! It only added to the pain I was feeling. Now ....stupid me.... went back into the bathroom and looked under my sink to try and find some Alovera lotion you use for Sunburn. Not understanding the burns are of a different nature I found a bottle and applied it to the area...................OH $%^& Not only did it burn with a vengeance, my entire diaper area was now bright red!

Ok so that's only half the story..... What I did next.....I hope I NEVER have to do again. I called my doctor's office and asked if I could come in right now to be seen for a "chemical burn" "this was a two doctor’s office" and my doctor was out. The lady on the line said to come in right away and she will have the "other" doctor see me. The "Other" doctor I did not know. I pulled on a pair of jeans minus the underwear and raced out the door to my car. Getting in and sitting down was a chore in itself. %^&* the pain was awful. At this point I was in tears. I got my nerve back and drove to the doctor’s office. After waiting what seemed like.... AN ETERNITY a nurse called me back.

I entered the room and stood. The nurse directed me to sit on the examination table... I replied... I would rather stand. She then asked what the nature of my emergency was....... Ok, how the hell do you explain something like this to a total stranger... not to mention a FEMALE!!! Well.....I lied.... I told her I had used a product on my belly that caused a burning sensation... Not totally a lie just the burning was not in that area.... What product? came the next question from the nurse....I paused.... and choked out...Nair. The nurse transformed from a ....nurse... into a chatter ball.... She said things like. "Oh I have had that happen to me before...." and proceeded to give me all the details of her "encounters" ENCOUNTERS! WTF why would you use the stuff again if you had....ENCOUNTERS!!!! was what I was thinking. Anyway, she jotted some stuff down and said the doctor will be right with you and she left the room.....

The room.... Why did it look so childish? The wallpaper was childish... there where books designed for children.... There was even a baby scale on the counter.... Weird. Then the doctor came in. Wouldn't you figure... the "Other" doctor was a GIRL!!!!!! At this point my heart was racing. I didn't know whether to just stand there or run my ass off out of there to save my embarrassment....to make matters worse she was a pediatrician!!!....(Kid Doctor). She then asked the aged old question, “So what seems to be the problem?" How the hell was I going to explain this to her? (Little background here: I’m straight....but I have never been with a woman. I have not even dated a woman.... so try explaining this to one) After what must have seemed like .... forever she asked me if I was ok.... I choked back my embarrassment and stated that I had used a product on my belly to get rid of some hair and now it was burning really bad. She asked me to take off my pants so she could get a look.......(NO UNDERWEAR HELLO!!!) Oh god.... I paused a REALY long time... She assured me it would be ok she handled cases like this all the time..... WTF I thought she was a kid doctor? what kids go around rubbing Nair on there nads???? That's what I was thinking anyway....Well I replied.. there is a little more to it....She just stood there and looked on... Well you see, My "Girlfriend"(LIE) asked me to shave off....All my hair in that..well...you know.... area... I stammered out. And she suggested that I try removing the hair with her Nair.... Ok the cat was out of the bag in one sense or another even though I didn't have a girlfriend...

The doctor then asked me to remove my pants so she could see the affected area.... Ever have that dream like you go to school and you’re in class and then realize your not wearing any cloths? well that's how I felt right at that moment. I fought back the urge to cry as well.... I’m a man damn it.... I slowly unbuttoned my pants and then slid the zipper down. At this point I mentioned I was not wearing any underwear... Then she makes a wise crack that "oh it's ok, I look at babies butts all day". WTF was that supposed to make me feel better?! As I slid down my pants slowly exposing the inflicted area a tear slid down my cheek. There I stood half naked to the world and trying to fight back the urge to cry. Oh my she said. You really did a number down there. I remember this very clearly... looking down as she gently touched the "area" I noticed my...you know was extremely small. It was like I just got dipped in the Arctic Ocean in the middle of winter!

At this point the doctor asked me to remove my paints all the way and lay down on the examination table. I did this... but rather reluctantly. Standing in what seemed like a corner of the exam room exposing myself to a woman and complete stranger seemed allot more comforting then laying half naked right in the middle of the room! As I lay down the doctor said she would be right back. My humiliation was complete. There I was lying alone in a strange room on a cold padded table on top of a sheet of paper lining the table surface, totally exposed to the world.. (It seemed that way anyway) and surrounded by wallpaper that you would expect to be in a child’s room. You know it's funny how pain will make you do almost anything to get rid of it....... The doctor returned pushing a cart into the room. What exactly was on the cart I could not tell you. But to make matters worse the nurse from before followed the doctor in and shut the door!!!! At this point I put my hand over my face to hide my embarrassment and tears. After hearing some rustling and soft words from the doctor they both appeared at my side. The doctor explained what was happening with my skin due to the chemical in the Nair. She explained it as my skin having an allergic reaction to the chemicals in the Nair product. She then asked the nurse for a tube off the table. She said I am going to apply this to the affected area. It should help to stop the pain. She then "touched" me with her fingers and started to apply the cream. ( Mental note: In ANY other circumstance this would be like a dream come true... but in this case I could not think of anything worse ever happening to me in my life at this moment) The cream was cool and as she worked it all over my "area" I almost right away noticed the pain starting to subside. As she finished she said I am going to write you a prescription for this that you will need to apply 4 times a day and it's very important that after you apply this you don’t let the affected area get dirty or rub against your cloths. That will only further irritate your condition. At this point I would agree to anything as the pain was dramatically subsiding. The nurse then handed the doctor something... (This is something I will NEVER forget). The doctor then instructed me to raise my bottom off the table for a moment while she would slide something under me. (I think you know what's coming) As I did this the doctor slid a cloth like item under me and then instructed me to lie down. At once I knew what this "item" was. (HOLLY CRAP IT WAS A FREAKING DIAPER!! WTF) The nurse then pulled the "item" up between my legs and then ever so gently fastened the tabs on each side to me.

(Question.... why was I in a diaper?)

This question no sooner entered my head then the doctor explained. She said," After you apply the cream I want you to wear one of these for the next couple of weeks or until the affected area has returned to normal color." (She then called it was it was) The diaper will help to assist in the healing process. Your body will most likely ooze in the affected area for a time so it's best to use the diaper as it will not stick to that area and at the same time absorb the moisture. I shook my head in agreement with what she told me. The nurse and doctor then helped me down off the table. The nurse then helped me pull my pants up and over the diaper. She was very gentle not to cause my pants to rub the front of the diaper. I thanked the doctor as she said the nurse will assist you from here. Have a nice day. And as she was about to close the door she popped her head back in and said, "oh and you might want to tell your girlfriend to give you a hand in changing your diaper".

The nurse escorted me up to the front and handed my chart to the cashier. "Take care sweetie" (Take care SWEETIE???WTF) and with that she left. The clerk busied herself with my chart and then gave me a bill. (Isn't that nice. You spend money to remove unwanted hair and wind up paying a whole lot more for it....) as I paid for the bill she then handed me a bag of .... (You guessed it) Diapers! She then proceeded to repeat the care instructions the doctor had told me and the importance of keeping the affected area clean....(you know it sure would have been nice if she could have talked a hell of a lot quieter) Then when she mentioned the part about the diapers I could feel my body flush with embarrassment knowing there were several people in the waiting room just behind me. I quickly signed my credit card slip, thanked her and get the hell out of there.

Looking back at this whole ordeal this was a fantasy come true but at that moment in time I felt the whole experience was the worst moment in my entire life.

So I guess what I am getting at is. DON'T USE NAIR or anything like it to get rid of the hair. Just keep it shaved with an electric razor. I have found that using a liberal amount of baby powder works wonders for the itching. I have also toyed with the idea of electrolysis. But honestly... how would you explain to the person doing the electrolysis that you want your "diaper area" zapped!

[Aunner]

The way NAIR works is that it is extremely alkaline (basic) with a high pH. Basic chemicals do way more damage to the skin and body than acids ever will, just acid sounds cooler.

I am no doctor so to speak, but I would guess applying something basic near an opening in the body would do more than just applying it to the skin.

Learned that in Chemistry, same course that the professor talked about how diapers worked for about a month (in fact when we had 4th and 5th graders come over she let them gut a few).

[lz1396]

My father teals a story of a bad encounter with NAIR but It was fare less embarrassing, although quite painful. It happened in the first few days of army basic training. There was a black fellow he meat in the bathroom of his barracks. The man had applied NAIR to his face and was using a wooden tung depressor to take the NAIR off with after it had been on his face the appropriate amount of time. My father asked hem about it and the man talked about how well it worked. He also spoke of how he did not need to shave every day and that he just used the NAIR a couple times a week. Well my father was sold on the idea a thought it would be great not to have to shave every day. He asked the man if he could try it and the man tolled hem that that would be fine and so he did. Well long story short he ended up having to spend some time in the infirmary but I don’t think his burn was near as bad as yours was.

I'm sorry...I couldn't help laughing while reading this story. I hope you're feeling better.

[belinda_sue_fox]

Live and learn.

Shaving is the only way to go down there.

Great story, I needed to read this after a crapy day at work. I once tried Nair. Besides the odor it really did not work that well. Shaving is the way to go.

Nedless to say you have to wear a diaper that you can't use now....... to bad.

Hope things are improving.

I have to say, that after trying most of the viable ways for hair removal, Nair is the best at doing the job down under. The trick is, not to leave it on longer than the recommended time. I used to do that and paid for it, miserably. That s**t will literally take your skin off! Nowadays, Nair has improved their formula and it works much faster than it used to. Be diligent in your application. Have all necessary tools at your disposal. (washcloths, runnng shower/bath water, towels, etc.) and it is not necessary to soak your body with warm water before application, like it used to be. I'm a pretty hairy bear, but I find a maximum of 7 minutes sufficient to remove any pubic hair. Your mileage may vary. Finding the application that is right for you may take a bit of experimentation and pain, but once you get it down, it's great. I've tried the razor routine down there, but it soon leaves a nasty stubble after a day or two that never fails to get irritated or infected. That's far worse for me than a little "Nair burn". Scritch-scratch fever. Unless, you shave every day. That's too much of a hassle for me. I have a hard enough time forcing myself to shave my face every day. Anyone got a good cure for that? I do use an electric razor for my legs and back. Wax for my chest, arms and torso. Waxing for the past three years, has significantly decreased re-growth in these areas. Although, it was not that apparent until about a year ago.

Nairing should leave you smooth and feeling comfortable and babyish for up to three weeks.

PS: Don't drink too much alkeehol before application...One does tend to lose track of time when alcohol impaired.

I wet just laughing from that story! OMG that was great. I vote sticky!

Seriously, it sounds way more dangerous, but a blade on your balls is much safer than anything you'll find in the women's aisle.

I hope you're feeling better, and it's too bad your diapering experience wasn't something to fondly remember. And don't forget -- if you're gay, straight, or whatever, females can tell if you don't have a woman, so don't bother lying.

EDIT:

You're 34?? How does a pediatrician still see you?

I used to get the stubble and rash from shaving, but after a while, I guess the skin thickened up. Now, I can shave everyday with no irritation. And, the stubble doesn't cause the skin to get bumpy anymore. But.....I still have to do it everyday. I might still consider Nair, but.... hmm... the tip of my...um....member is rather sensitive. Hair doesn't grow there, either. Is there a way I can um... isolate certain areas that I don't want to feel a burning sensation? And, I don't want a simple task like peeing to become something of torture.

[PampersPete]

My nuts are gettin' a bit hairy.......Think I'll shave 'em. Thanks for keepin' this post alive

[Repaid1]

I'm with heidilynn..I've used it successfully for years with very mild irratation if any. The bottle does say to test it first. I personally would never soak in a tub first as that would open the pores, which may be why he got "burned". I use the course hair formula works, great for me.

[Necare]

Entertaining story. But is it fact, or is it fiction? 34, and still going to a pediatrician sort of ruins most of the believability of your experience, sorry to say. But hey, one can always dream.....cheers!

Yes my age is 34 now but who ever said this happend to me recently?.... thanks for pointing out how old i am.

[Repaid1]

I actually read it to say you called your doctor, who wasn't available. The "other" doctor in the business office was the pediatrician. You never actually said your doctor was one. If they thought the office call was something the other doctor could handle I don't see the differerence. A pediatrcian is a MD first and only specializes in children, so I didn't find your story unplauseable, And your age is on your profile and 34 isn't old! (Neither is 43)

[pax87]

Repaid1 is right. Ive had that happen where my doctors other practitioner saw me and she was a pediatrician. hence why its a FAMILY doctor place. I guess the nurses are so used to treating children in their profession that they would say sweetie and things like that. I get it all the time

Ive found for women to soak in a tub with one cup of baking soda and baby oil softens the skin up for shaving....works WONDERS! and seems to last a few days more than normal shaving. But thats just me...everyone is different.

Anyways, Hope your feeling better!

[Aleia]

Doesn't the bottle explicitly say NOT to use the product in pubic areas?

[crys_138]

Is that one cup of baking soda AND one cup of baby oil? Maybe I'll try that next time...

[lynniehyde]

Doesn't the bottle explicitly say NOT to use the product in pubic areas?

Yes, it does. But you can bend the rules sometimes. Much like the osteopath who told me I could take 800 mgs of ibuprofen 4 times a day, when the label on the bottle recommends only 1/4 of that dosage per day.

Like I say, your mileage may vary. As long as you don't leave it on too long down there, you should be okay. But, it takes some experimentation. If, you're willing to go through it. Once you find the timing that is right for you, you'll find Nair is the best way to go. Unless, you want to go through months or years of laser or electrolysis treatments. Down there.

Sorry to hear about your pain. It is a good point that some things just do not work out like we want. But hay looking back I bet you are getting your laugh now and at least you got to live a dream out, even if it was the wrong time. Thanks also for the warning other wise I might have been the next one looking for a cutie nurse.

[StillNDiapers]

this was way to F*****ing funny dude. great story. but sorry bout the whole nair thing

[AbriForm]

Moral of this story: Don't wear your play-time diapers to the doctor's office.

[LordOfKarma]

dude it says on the fuckin bottle not to put on your genitals .. learn 2 read

avoid your nipples also

[Guest]

I used nair, waited the MAXIMUM ammount of time...

and all the freaking hair was still there!

[jessm5]

Great story!! This is definitely a "live and learn" story. If it didn't involve your crotch and diapers I would say it's one to tell the grandkids one day.

Just a couple thoughts on the whole pediatrician thing.... although it's not common for a peds doc to see adult patients, there's absolutely nothing that says they can't, especially if the doc is covering for someone else. Actually, in some cases when pediatricians have a patient with a chronic condition and the patient is doing well, the docs will continue seeing the patient well into adulthood. Also medical school does a really good job of teaching doctors to be professionally detached. I can guarentee you that your new pediatrician friend has seen more crazy crotch accidents than she can count. Heck, even if you flat out told her, "I have a diaper fetish, and thought it would be a really good idea to take a Nair bath" she wouldn't have even flinched. (Not that I recommend you do that).

Also, I once decided to shave the area down there. I didn't have the running-to-the-pediatrician-with-a burning-crotch experience that you enjoyed so much, but it was the itchiest three days of my life.

[Guest Baby_brad]

Hey I saw the same pediatrician until I turned 16.. Kinda re-enforces the AB side of things, dontcha think?
