For context, I am completely blind and have been since 2016. I’m using a screen reader to type this before anyone asks lol.

My boyfriend is a fucking moron.

The other day, I sent him to CVS to grab me some baby wipes because toilet paper is an absolute disaster when you can’t see. I was genuinely excited to finally have wipes again, so the second he got home, I marched straight to the bathroom to handle business.

Afterward, I opened the pack and immediately noticed they smelled weird and felt different than the ones I usually use. But since my boyfriend has fully functioning eyeballs, I stupidly assumed he had managed to buy the correct thing and figured maybe they were just a different brand.

So I proceeded to wipe my ass and vulva with them.

For TWO DAYS.

Then suddenly, my labia started burning like satan himself had reached out to touch it.

And somehow, I still didn’t suspect the wipes.

Thankfully, my roommate walked into the bathroom the next day while I was peeing so she could brush her teeth. When I finished, I reached for another wipe and she practically lunged across the room to stop me.

Horrified, she snatched the pack out of my hand and informed me that I had been wiping my coochie with DISINFECTING WIPES.

CHEMICAL. FUCKING. WIPES.

I wanted to die.

Apparently my boyfriend saw “wipes” and said, “Yep, that’s probably close enough.”

I was shocked, furious, and utterly humiliated!!!

Thankfully, everything is fine now. My kitty cat is feeling much better and my roommate and I ended up having a good laugh about the entire situation. But I really think this man needs supervised shopping privileges from now on. 😭💀

TLDR: My blind ass trusted my boyfriend to buy baby wipes. He accidentally bought disinfecting wipes instead. I used them on my vulva for two days before my roommate caught me. My coochie briefly entered the gates of hell.

Edit: I swear some of y’all in the comments are seriously lacking in the common sense department. No, I did not read the package. Hard to do when you’re blind. No, I did not wipe my anus and then my vagina with the same white. Being blind doesn’t make you a fucking animal. No, my boyfriend did not buy disinfectant wipes on purpose because he thinks my vagina stinks. I shower every single day. Jesus Christ, people. Are we really that dense???
