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've tried scissors in the past, too. Like you, I've never gotten nicked when using them. Unfortunately, I also don't get the hair as short as I'd like -- particularly on the insides of my labia, where, for some reason, I have trouble getting the scissors to cut the hair at all. (I think that's a visual thing: there are only a few long hairs there, so it's harder to judge where to put the scissors to actually cut them.)
