Girl down! ASAP hacks for paintball bruises?

[aicarg]

Ughh so a friend wanted to go paintballing for his birthday today. It was a last miniute planned idea and cause I haven't gone in awhile I decided, "hey why not..." It was damn hot today and I didn't exactly have layers of clothing under my suit and I got hit at a close distance while hiding.

I'm headed off for a destination bachelorette trip later next week and don't wish to have massive bruises while wearing a bikini while out with the crew. Quick hacks anyone?

I've iced, massaged with a cold spoon, applied vitamin K cream, but dammit they look real bad.

Time and owning it. Be proud that you were bold enough to go out paint balling. TBH paintball makes a pretty distinct bruise. If any of the crew has been paint balling they will know a paintball bruise when they see it.

I worked as a paintball ref for a few years. I was always bruised and if I noticed any one looking. I would proudly say that I was paintballing and use that as a segway to open a conversation with them.
have they paint balled, if not would they like to. If they have where and did they have fun...

Try some things that help with healing and bruises but I would not count on them going away soon enough. Try telling the other girls about your exciting paint balling adventure. They will gladly tell any guy your talking to about it for you.

But bruises don't match well with a bikini 🙁 Haha I suppose owning my battle wounds is the least I could do if they don't go away before the trip.

[Dim1213]

True they don't go but remember Confidence is sexy. :)
A mismatching bikini won't matter much when a guy sees how confident you are about it.

[aicarg]

Haha thanks for the tip! I'll remember to wear my confidence better than my bikini ☺

[Dim1213]

Thanks for mho 🙂

I would continue putting ice on it that heals the fastest
you could actually try taking Vitamin K tablets by mouth
that could work too. Not too sure on how to heal bruises.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for most helpful guy :)

To make them heal faster, keep applying ice over the next few days. The bruises should fade a good amount by the time you go on the trip. If there are any that are still a bit visible, use some makeup to cover them.

Good call! Any reccomendations of a waterproof concelear that you may know of? Cause I'll be out and about in the waters a whole lot.

Jesus you bruise badly. Literally the first 10 seconds I've ever played Paint ball, specifically speedball, I was shot in the throat. Wasn't that bad of a bruise but it took a little bit of skin. Lasted for 5-6 days or so, on new years eve

[aicarg]

My God, shot in the throat? I'm just glad it didn't hit and effect your voice box!

[dolemite68]

I miss paint balling so much, they'll disappear in a few days

[aicarg]

Go round up some peeps and go! See if you've still got stealth and a good shooting game. 🙂 Had a pretty good time, just wasn't happy with receiving battle marks.

Try vinegar run it on or baking soda n vinegar an let stay on 15mins

[Naydyonov]

That's why you wear clothes.

[aicarg]

I know layers are a smart idea. But it was a last minute idea to play a game, and 28 degree celsius outdoors so I didn't carry any spare layers...

[Naydyonov]

Gotta choose between protection and comfort

[Glen68]

ouch! hope they get better quick

[aicarg]

Thanks! I hope they go away fast too

[Glen68]
