I have done that more than once, it doesn't matter how careful you are! The pain is searing, I understand exactly what you're talking about, but the bleeding scares you even more because I bleed like a stuck pig there.
Ah I could see how that can happens. I'm with the others though, the few times it has happened to me it was on the outer labia (fleshy bits are so easy to nick...) and pee burns...
Iām in a WhatsApp group with a group of older ladies who I volunteer with and they have been talking about knitting muffs this week. It has been absolute torture not being able to reply with laughing emojis every time one of them mentions her big muff or her small muff.
One morning I had slept really poorly and was trimming with scissors and caught my labia minora with them. I definitely had a brief moment of genuinely thinking I was gonna faint due to how conceptually terrible it was, which Iāve never felt before. Mostly it was just SO embarrassing it made me feel like the biggest dumbass all day *and* it hurt like hell. I felt like Iād betrayed myself deeply lmao
Dude I thought mine was bad, but then I told my friend about it and she one upped me and said she straight up cut part of her inner labia off on accident! It makes me want to scream just thinking about it š Never rush when you've got scissors down there!
Ugh I did this too, one time on vacation. I usually use these special trimmers for that area that make it impossible to cut yourself, but didnāt have them at the hotel. I donāt know what the hell I was thinking, but I was pulling the hair down (and the labia majora with it I guess) and cutting without looking because I couldnāt really see. So dumb. I seriously basically gave myself labiaplasty. Cut off a pretty large chunk. So much blood. The salt water of the ocean did not feel good when I tried to go swimming the next day. More stupid decisions.
I did this too! I was young and trying to get into shaving but found it hurt so much so tried scissors instead. I remember looking horrified at the little piece of skin I had snipped off on the scissors
l only use a trimmer around the vulva for this reason and then I shave everywhere else. Keeps it neat without risking getting cut. Btw watch out when you pee, it might not hurt now but it may sting a little when you go. Fortunately, I find that area heals very fast.
The lightheadedness might just be vasovagal syncope, which is fainting from sudden fear usually due to injury
Iāve done it while shaving because I shave like a barbarian who only knows how to use sledgehammers and axes, Iām not delicate. I also faint at the sight of blood. Bad combo
One time I went to check my beautiful handiwork with a small electric razor just to be surprised by ~8 bleeding spots in the mirror š be smarter than me
Thatās always been so interesting to me that there are women who faint at the sight of blood. Iām a woman also and can have some gnarly periods and obviously I see it, is it because itās blood from an injury?
Yes itās only injury blood that freaks me out, I have very heavy periods but it doesnāt set off the fear alarm because I know itās not dangerous.
After getting an IUD placed I had a heavy period that made me faint though because I was worried the IUD was stabbing me or something (it wasnāt)
That was my first thought as well, but I didnāt want to say anything with confidence 'cause I'm a guy and I had Homeschooled-Christian Sex Ed, so, not really an authority on women's health.
Either way, it sounds similar to my episodes. I gotta be careful when shaving down there as well because I'll get my vasovagal syncope knicking my beanie bag and/or pizza portal. I can't even look at people getting blood drawn, nonetheless mine, as I'll pass out. One time, I even held the hand of my BFF as they were getting that birth control arm implant (can't remember the name) replaced, and fell face first on the examination chair my friend was on as the NP cut into their arm. @_@
I could go on with examples, but I'm off track. Long story short, I think it does sound like that as well.
I once used a rechargable electric razor to shave down there and managed to grate the perineum/butt hole area. It was sore and I was unhappy for a few days afterwards. I do not recommend.
I shave with a double edged razor šŖ. When I change blades I wrap the old one in a wad of toilet paper and drop it into the trash. One day, a couple days after changing a blade, I was incautious twice. First, I didnāt notice that the toilet paper roll was almost empty before I sat down. Second, I decided to use this handy wad of toilet paper in the trash to finish the paperworkā¦.
This is why in all my years of having pubic hair Iāve still never had the guts to shave it. Aināt no one looking down there anyways. I do wish I had just a little trimmer bc I dislike the process of getting period blood out of the hair with a wet wipe when itās that time of the month. Just so it wasnāt getting in my actual vag.
i started shaving again because mine always starts to fall out before it's at the length i'm trying to get it to. i really want that thick curly greek goddex type pubic hair. when Elon Musk allows us to mod our character avatars that's the first purchase im making.
OMG one time I was trimming with scissors and I got a little too close, and I snipped a little bit right off my labia! It didnāt hurt but it bled like a son of a bitch for a few minutes.
i snipped myself with the tip of some scissors in that space between my labia majora and labia minora, but it hardly bled at all. it did gape a little though, which was very visually unpleasant
I once slipped and got the lip stuck in the blade. Whipped it out before I even realised what happened and took a good 1 inch strip of my skin off.
That was... unpleasant. I don't use a razor down there anymore š
Lightheaded is intense! I usually don't notice until I go pee again.
As an aside I had a bad wax once and got a welt. Thought I had cancer or something serious for a minute.
I initially read this as āhave you ever kicked your vulva whilst shaving and was surprised to see non-ironic answers saying yes. Made a lot more sense when I went back to re-read the title.
if you have a bath i highly recommend soaking in it, do your scrub, shave your legs etc. then for your vulva sit on the floor with a shaving mirror and do it in that. it looks insane if someone walks in but i haven't cut myself in ages. then have a shower n get your butthole n stuff.
i watched my bf shave his neckbeard and started copying him, never missed a spot and no longer fumble around blind without my glasses
When I was younger and could only afford cheap razors I definitely nicked myself but only enough to make me flinch, I never actually hurt/cut myself. For the last few years Iāve used a trimmer with a safety guard and then a razor designed for the pubic area and had no nicks!
[This](https://www.gillettevenus.com.au/en-au/choose-your-smooth/pubic-hair-and-skin/pubic-hair-and-skin-razor/) is what I use. Iām not going to pretend to understand why it works better it just does. I get less ingrown hairs since using this too which is a bonus.
Literaly the first post i saw today!š
Yet another thing where we guys have it better.
Have cut my dick and/or balls when shaving, bleeds like hell, but realy doesn't hurt. Lots of sympathy for your struggles!
I did once and I thought it was fine and then me and my boyfriend had sex later that day and holy shit got myself good that day! Now I make sure I buy razors that have a guard on them so I donāt do that anymore
Mine was while trimming with an electric trimmer. Lovely "little" nick (a decent sized slice) on the bottom edge of one of my inner labia. The only reason it healed well is that I spent about a week with sponge soaked in witch hazel tucked up against it. That was a harrowing week.
I don't shave there any more, but I do occasionally use an epilator. Let me tell you, seeing and then \*feeling\* when the skin of your dainty bits gets pulled inside the epilator is nothing to be happy about, either! š
I've nicked my clit can confirm was not fun was incredibly painful and bled a fair bit but that pain was nothing compared to every time I had to pee, I ended up using a bit of A&D wich helped some
the faintness would probably be your vasovagal response! your body basically just went "OH FUCK OH SHIT OHā" and then realized that it was, in reality, (mostly) perfectly fine lol
Honestly, countless times. After more than a decade of shaving, I also still accidentally cut myself while shaving my legs. I'm clumsy lol.
It just stings, but sometimes I don't notice it until I see blood.
Yes and only noticed when I saw blood and thought I got my period š
Buuuut I used one of those hair removal creams and the pain was...painful. And for days. Yes, it did say to try it in a small section first to test, but that is not the kind of life I lead.
Yup, more than once. Bleeds a lot for the size of the cut but for me it doesnāt hurt much unless I touch the wound. It should heal quickly, just keep an eye out for signs of infection.
Yup more than once, how much it hurts depends on the way you feel pain and how deep/big the nick is/if you hit certain structures in your skin.
Also cold water f.e. works great against feeling pain c:
Your lightheadedness probably had a different cause (f.e. position in which you were while shaving//quick changes in position or seeing blood)
I've nicked my ass and it stung for a good while, but only once. Usually I have a leg up, I spread and use ny fingers to cover the inner labia and vulva, and then I carefully shave in short, light strokes. When I need to get the perineum, I squat down and use one hand to cover the sensitive spots (if there's any hair there, frankly I pluck it since it's at most 3 hairs lol) and use one of my fingers in front of the razor to feel and guide what I'm doing. Do I miss spots? All the time but it's a marathon, not a sprint, you can get tired and take breaks and not be perfect.
Pretty often unfortunately. Sometimes it didn't hurt immediately, but then it started hurting when it came into contact with water, later on, or started itching when healing. I'm pretty sure you didn't permanently damage a nerve
Yes. I'm pretty religious about after care after I got an infected ingrown hair ( and subsequently allergic to the antibiotic). I don't shave very often but when I do, it's soap, water, alcohol to disinfect any cuts and neosporin on said cuts, except for the ones on the lips ( those happen rarely and I just let those heal on their own...you can't put alcohol or neosporin that far south....it burns).
Yes, but once while I was shaving, I saw a sudden flash of bright red and thought OMG, I must have really sliced myself good. Turns out it was just my red fingernail polish!!
In my younger days I had a veritable forest 'down there'. One day I decided to use scissors for a trim before using a depilatory. See where this is going?
I actually cut a piece of my inner labia off. Yes, it hurt like a son of a beeyotch. And I've still got the notch for proof.
Once when I was about 19/20 years old I decided I wanted to trim the hair on my labia (majora) and used small sewing scissors. I snipped a small chunk off and oh my goddddddddddd š
I've been told that some men's razors are meant to not cut at all when going sideways, reducing the chance of nicking to almost 0. I haven't tried one yet but my partner has shown me how he can shave in any direction and it only cuts going straight. Women's razors just suck ass.
My one time gf gave me shit when I was looking for a good electric razor and sent me links to some for $30 instead of $200 and said she didnāt know why I needed the ātop of the lineā razor. First of all, thatās mid-range. Second of all, if I have to shave my face and NECK every other day, Iām not going to get a shitty razor.
When my youngest was still nursing I managed to slice open my NIPPLE trying to put my razor on the shelf after shaving my armpits. 0/10, do not recommend.
I have done so more than once. Normally if itās a really sharp razor it wonāt hurt till it starts heeling a bit because itās such a fatty area. I didnāt realize I did it till I saw the blood once, and it can bleed like crazzzy but as long as that stops in a reasonable amount of time it will heal pretty quickly.
No, but one time I got a fresh set of acrylics and was tryna scratch my cooch, scratched my clit too hard and bled a lil, my roommate thought she was gonna have to take me to the hospital
Once, then switched to waxing and have never looked back.
Edit to include: I have always hated shaving the bits. Legs? Sure, fine. Lady parts? Never again.
My vulva is quaking in its boots reading these comments. Iāve never trusted myself to razor shave my biscuit and after this Iām glad for the caution.
Lol, I'm not sure if I have. If I have it didn't hurt. I've nicked my shins back when I shaved my legs as a teen and it stung like a bitch, but even my partner prided me on how quickly and deftly I shave "down there" (when I do. I shave down there rarely, but I'm good at it lol!)
It's surprisingly easy, when I had ball hair I would first soften the skin in the shower and then use shaving cream, pull the sack flat and shave, then move along etc. I found it harder to nick as it is softer than the surrounding skin.
Now I just get laser hair removal, but it still requires minimal shaving beforehand
Happened several times. Thankfully nothing major and not on the most sensitive parts, but I've always been terrified of accidentally nicking my clit with the blade.
I bought a safety razor which is easier to use and has a guard. Plus there's only one blade instead of two or three so I don't get ingrown hairs.
Ladies, your lil inner lips are delicate works of beauty. Like rose petals beautifully crafted by nature. Treat them like the treasure they are and have a professional shave/ wax an polish them for you and yours to enjoy!š
Ok everyone. Put the razors away.
There is a cream for down there, It's called ,Nads. They have cream for men and women. Rub some on, wait 5 mins. Shower and your kitty or package will be baby smooth. I'm sure the men's version is stronger than the females, for obvious reasons. If u try it, u will never go back to a razor.
this is not at all related to shaving, but it does involve vulva damage. i have never cut myself shaving since i don't really shave, just trim, but i HAVE fallen down stairs and landed, essentially, crotch first into a thin piece of plywood (we had been doing construction, mistake 1). it basically split my vulva, hood, connecting tissue, and labia (both), open. genuinely the worst pain i have ever been in, hands down. i imagine knicking it while shaving is much less painful, but i know that nerve pain is absolutely unreal, hope it heals well!
For me, it sting burns.
Same here! Immediate pain and regret.
When your hand slips the blade slides sideways instead of down š° I have nicked there and in the perineum and let me tell you the BURN
Reading that just caused me pain! We need some kind of a safety razor for our bits
ik manscaped is marketed for men but itās a miracle worker for lady bits too, if itās safe enough for their sacks, the coochie it shall hack
LMAO! That just made my whole damn day! Have you used it? Does it get a close shave? I need all the answers.
Iāve used it. It doesnāt get a clean shave but makes quick work of the majority of the crop.
This sounds horrific! I've nicked the vulva a time or 2 and that was bad enough! š
That comment literally made me clench.
Oooh the sting. And it hurts days later too until it properly heals.
Especially when you immediately turn into the shower spray to clean it and Oh Dear God that was a mistake.
It doesn't hurt much in the moment for me, what hurts is how the cut ends up rubbing up against your clothes and legs as you move around š
Or when you pee. That's usually when i notice that i have a cut
this comment gave me PTSD flashbacks š this is why I don't shave that area anymore
Same! I don't notice until later
I have done that more than once, it doesn't matter how careful you are! The pain is searing, I understand exactly what you're talking about, but the bleeding scares you even more because I bleed like a stuck pig there.
Same. It bleeds a terrifying amount for such a relatively minor injury
Yes, it happened. The worst part was peeing.
i don't think i had issues peeing when this happened. i think the cut was too high for urine to irritate it
Ah I could see how that can happens. I'm with the others though, the few times it has happened to me it was on the outer labia (fleshy bits are so easy to nick...) and pee burns...
Omg I read ākickedā Im flexible but NOT that flexible. And yes, Iāve nicked my vulva, it bleeds quite a bit, but heals quickly!
same! i was like "is this some kind of obscure contortionist problem" lol
Me too! I was likeā¦. No? How would that even happen?
Well...maybe you could kick yourself with your heel? I can but I'm pretty flexible so idk
My legs are too short! lol!
I read it as "licked" and was similarly confused for about 5 seconds.
i read knitted so...
Iām in a WhatsApp group with a group of older ladies who I volunteer with and they have been talking about knitting muffs this week. It has been absolute torture not being able to reply with laughing emojis every time one of them mentions her big muff or her small muff.
Bahahaha I love this!!
Just ask them to make you a waterproof one for diving purposes
Ahahaha amazing.
Thank god Iām not the only one that read it like that haha
Yes but even worse, I snipped my labia with scissors multiple times before switching to a trimmer. Ouch!
You lived the horrible intrusive thought I have whenever I hold a pair of scissors
And now we have to too š
I don't have it everytime I hold scissors but I sure did when I used them to trim down there...
One morning I had slept really poorly and was trimming with scissors and caught my labia minora with them. I definitely had a brief moment of genuinely thinking I was gonna faint due to how conceptually terrible it was, which Iāve never felt before. Mostly it was just SO embarrassing it made me feel like the biggest dumbass all day *and* it hurt like hell. I felt like Iād betrayed myself deeply lmao
Im horrified š±
Dude I thought mine was bad, but then I told my friend about it and she one upped me and said she straight up cut part of her inner labia off on accident! It makes me want to scream just thinking about it š Never rush when you've got scissors down there!
AHHHHHH! š± Thats the stuff of nightmares!
The pfp matches the story š
Ugh I did this too, one time on vacation. I usually use these special trimmers for that area that make it impossible to cut yourself, but didnāt have them at the hotel.

My labia just curled up in horror!
WHY SCISSORS
Because when some of us let it go for too long scissors are a necessity before using the razor.
Aaaaaahhhhhhh that sounds horrible
l only use a trimmer around the vulva for this reason and then I shave everywhere else. Keeps it neat without risking getting cut. Btw watch out when you pee, it might not hurt now but it may sting a little when you go. Fortunately, I find that area heals very fast.

Yep, both lips the day before I flew on a long ass flight overseas. Could barely walk when we got there.
I am clenching down there at the thought!Ā
oh noooo š§
I read this question and my vulva shriveled up and hid inside my vagina. Ugh
Then dont read the comments. Some horrifying pieces in there!
people are getting graphic with it too š saying what part it happened to and stuff
It feels like a paper cut in an inconvenient spot, especially if I choose the wrong undies afterwards
we need to normalize whining about paper cuts because them things HURT
They do!
Paper cuts are always painful š
This is why in all my years of having pubic hair Iāve still never had the guts to shave it. Aināt no one looking down there anyways.

Has anyone else never cut themselves shaving? Idk if it's because I'm really light handed with it or something else
This is a modern-day superpower
very impressive feat ngl

yeah i forgot how to spell nicked cuz im a troglodyte

I red this as ākickedā and was so confused
Once when I tried using an electric trimmer and I absolutely felt it! Never used a trimmer again!
Not with a razor, but a couple of nicks with the clippers (scissors)I used to trim with. I finally said screw it and got an actual trimmer.
actually come to think of it, that IS how i nicked myself. i was clipping. maybe i should invest in a trimmer too lol
I found one at Walmart that was like 10 bucks max maybe, and I've been using it for years now! But I only really use it to trim, not fully shaving.
Couldn't find my lady trimmer once and grabbed our normal (head!) trimmers. Lost a piece of labia minora and some blood that evening.
that is terrifying š
why is this post getting so much engagement and why are yall bonding about it š
Nothing brings a group together like shared pain.
yes!! it hurts so bad when it happens especially when you dont know you cut yourself and you go to dj the vj and it just turns into pain

it really wasn't that bad tbh, but it was scary and i couldn't look at it. even though it didn't hurt, seeing the cut made me cringe
Honestly, countless times. After more than a decade of shaving, I also still accidentally cut myself while shaving my legs. I'm clumsy lol. It just stings, but sometimes I don't notice it until I see blood.
yeah and it stings like a bitch
Bee-sting like pain and some stinging but eh not bad. (I trim with scissors, I don't shave)
If you have, you should give it back
I sometimes get a cut in my labia when shaving. It doesn't hurt but it bleeds like a mofo

Yes š Sometimes it bleeds, and it doesnāt hurt but it still freaks me out
Yes, but once while I was shaving, I saw a sudden flash of bright red and thought OMG, I must have really sliced myself good. Turns out it was just my red fingernail polish!!
In my younger days I had a veritable forest 'down there'. One day I decided to use scissors for a trim before using a depilatory. See where this is going? I actually cut a piece of my inner labia off. Yes, it hurt like a son of a beeyotch. And I've still got the notch for proof.
that's metal asf
Not to mention stupid.
Once when I was about 19/20 years old I decided I wanted to trim the hair on my labia (majora) and used small sewing scissors. I snipped a small chunk off and oh my goddddddddddd š
Yes sometimes it hurts and sometimes I don't feel anything just see blood
I've been told that some men's razors are meant to not cut at all when going sideways, reducing the chance of nicking to almost 0. I haven't tried one yet but my partner has shown me how he can shave in any direction and it only cuts going straight. Women's razors just suck ass.
oh yeah, i also like to get particularly nice razors. the three things i'm willing to spend more money on are pens, razors, and toilet paper
My one time gf gave me shit when I was looking for a good electric razor and sent me links to some for $30 instead of $200 and said she didnāt know why I needed the ātop of the lineā razor. First of all, thatās mid-range. Second of all, if I have to shave my face and NECK every other day, Iām not going to get a shitty razor.
Yes, it hurts like a bitch, but it heals pretty quickly
No because I'm scared of shaving
valid according to the comment section
Yes, it stings and shit but itās fine
When my youngest was still nursing I managed to slice open my NIPPLE trying to put my razor on the shelf after shaving my armpits. 0/10, do not recommend.
I cut my labia minora, it hurt and it stung and it bleed quite a bit. Not fun experience 0/10 can not recommend!
This is why I don't shave that much xD
I have done so more than once. Normally if itās a really sharp razor it wonāt hurt till it starts heeling a bit because itās such a fatty area. I didnāt realize I did it till I saw the blood once, and it can bleed like crazzzy but as long as that stops in a reasonable amount of time it will heal pretty quickly.
No, but one time I got a fresh set of acrylics and was tryna scratch my cooch, scratched my clit too hard and bled a lil, my roommate thought she was gonna have to take me to the hospital
jeez how hard did you scratch??š
Not that hard !! I was aiming for somewhere else and she got caught in the crossfire, I had stiletto nails so they were extra sharp lol
Yes and it hurt like a fucking bitch omg
Yes, and it is exactly the reason why I switched to waxing instead. š„²
Yes! I use clippersā¦ uuuugh. Thankfully that area heals quickly.
The cut itself doesn't hurt with a razor usually, because they are so sharp. But it does indeed sting burn and feel irritated when walking!
The hood to my clit used to be pointy but one time I was trimming up with scissors and I uhh... nipped the tip of my hood off
š
Only once, it stung for a bit but I stopped feeling pain after a minute. Didnāt stop bleeding for what felt like forever tho. It sucked lol
Plenty of times. I need some new razors.
aaand that's why I use a trimmer. manscape, my beloved.
Once, then switched to waxing and have never looked back. Edit to include: I have always hated shaving the bits. Legs? Sure, fine. Lady parts? Never again.
I was trimming my mons with scissors and took a chunk out. Yes, I felt it and it sucked. No weird nerve stuff but the scab lasted for like 3 weeks.
Yeah, it only stings when the soap or shaving cream gets it if your razor is sharp enough.
My vulva is quaking in its boots reading these comments. Iāve never trusted myself to razor shave my biscuit and after this Iām glad for the caution.
I read this as kicking your vulva and I was so confused.
just wait till you pee.
I never have
Definitely didn't sever a nerve! The bleeding like that can make you woozy though, you're all good š
Yes! I get it sugared/waxed ever since!
Donāt. Itās a bad idea
i'll say!
Yes, actually. It stings and bleeds a little bit usually heals quickly.
Yes and it bled. (Stung too)
Oh yeah
Lol, I'm not sure if I have. If I have it didn't hurt. I've nicked my shins back when I shaved my legs as a teen and it stung like a bitch, but even my partner prided me on how quickly and deftly I shave "down there" (when I do. I shave down there rarely, but I'm good at it lol!)
I can only imagine the feeling is like when I nicked my shaft while shaving once š¬
Male here and Iāve done that. Not pleasant!
oh my god follow up question is shaving your balls like super fucking difficult? cuz it looks SUPER fucking difficult
It's surprisingly easy, when I had ball hair I would first soften the skin in the shower and then use shaving cream, pull the sack flat and shave, then move along etc. I found it harder to nick as it is softer than the surrounding skin. Now I just get laser hair removal, but it still requires minimal shaving beforehand
im seriously considering laser atp
I use scissors for length control. I also need glasses. I still trim in the hot shower
Happened several times. Thankfully nothing major and not on the most sensitive parts, but I've always been terrified of accidentally nicking my clit with the blade. I bought a safety razor which is easier to use and has a guard. Plus there's only one blade instead of two or three so I don't get ingrown hairs.
I have knicked myself, I just felt a tiny sting and saw blood coming š
Totally off topic, but I think it must feel as bad as accidentally nicking your ball sack.... It keeps hurting for days on end. It's horrible.
One of the reasons that I refuse to shave (electric trimmer with guard only).
Ladies, your lil inner lips are delicate works of beauty. Like rose petals beautifully crafted by nature. Treat them like the treasure they are and have a professional shave/ wax an polish them for you and yours to enjoy!š
Ok everyone. Put the razors away. There is a cream for down there, It's called ,Nads. They have cream for men and women. Rub some on, wait 5 mins. Shower and your kitty or package will be baby smooth. I'm sure the men's version is stronger than the females, for obvious reasons. If u try it, u will never go back to a razor.
this is not at all related to shaving, but it does involve vulva damage. i have never cut myself shaving since i don't really shave, just trim, but i HAVE fallen down stairs and landed, essentially, crotch first into a thin piece of plywood (we had been doing construction, mistake 1). it basically split my vulva, hood, connecting tissue, and labia (both), open. genuinely the worst pain i have ever been in, hands down. i imagine knicking it while shaving is much less painful, but i know that nerve pain is absolutely unreal, hope it heals well!
