Casualties of Trimming

[frolicnaked.livejournal.com]

This is more of a commiseration-seeking, "am I the only one?" type of post, but --

Has anyone else ever nicked themselves -- broken skin and/or drawn blood -- while trimming their pubic region?

Me, I've done it too many times to count and with at least 4 different models of trimmer, leading me to believe the common denominator is not the product I'm using. I managed to do it once today while the plastic blade guide/guard was actually on.

Grr.

If I didn't like the trimmed result so much -- and the fact that with shorter pubic hair, my vaginal discharge can't stick my lips: a) to one another; b) to my underwear -- I'd consider ceding victory to the hair.

As it happens, though, that is a non-option. (Shaving, waxing, sugaring, Nair-ing, and epilating are also non-options.)

So.

Tips for surviving a trim unbloodied? Or at least voices letting me know I'm not alone?

:D

I do occasionally nick myself while using the spouse's old electric razor's beard-attachment. (I use the three-rotary fingy on my legs for a pre-shower shave. It's dull and clogs up a bit, which is why he doesn't use that one anymore, but it's fine for my legs when I go over them with a disposable razor in the shower later. I have to use a dull one there or I nick my legs up more.)

Generally the nicks I get feel like a small scratch and I don't notice them as a nick until I do a quick wipe-off and see little spots of blood.

Does that help any?
