I used to sport the landing strip up until I was about 6 months pregnant with ds who is now 2. I stopped shaving as I couldn't see what I was doing, also might sound daft but kind of wanted it to be the way nature intended to give birth.
Since then I haven't shaved, waxed, trimmed etc. I'm not massively hairy so it's not a full on 80s style bush.
DP moaned the other day as he liked it the way I used to have it. Hmm. I sort of told him tough luck it's my bits and quite frankly I cba and like not having itchy stubble. He watched our Baby come out of there fgs surely he realises it's not a fashion accessory?
AIBU to not make the effort for dp?

Yanbu, I too am pretty au naturel. Life's too short... It all still works the same!

I have purple dreads.

Only for me mind. Nibody else ever sees them.

Can I ask how old you are? I'm 32 and I have noticed it seems to be almost unacceptable amongst some of my younger work colleagues to not be styled.

Yep. Au naturel.
Have a wax when I go on holiday but only bikini line.

There was an interesting discussion about this on Radio 4 Womens Hour this week.
I trim mine but that is all. No shaving or waxing here.

I wax and laser. Not natural. Agree it's wrong, but I just like it this way.

I periodically hack at mine with a pair of nail scissors but that's about as much as I can be arsed to do. I'm 31 but tbh I've never bothered much with it, it's just laziness!

Me. Massive bush, don't even trim it.
DH jokingly refers to it as a 70s growler buy has never asked me to to remove or control it.
I have shaved it in the past it was unbearably itchy and DH didn't want to have sex because it felt 'wrong'.

I parked in a P&C space at the supermarket...ran into the disabled toilets and removed all my pubic hair Grin

A lot of younger men body shave too. Seems to be the in thing. I notice girls in their 20's also shave their arms.

I really don;t see why this while shaving thing causes so much consternation and discussion. Cameron Diaz was very funny this week though

I'm 35 and haven't touched mine ever, bar the very occasional trim of the straggles for a swimming costume. Don't even bother with that now tbh, as I don't actually give a fuck who sees or cares. DH doesn't care either way as long as no stubble.

I'm proud of my 70's porno style bush.
I'll trim and tidy up the edges if going swimming, but apart from that au naturel

I am in my 40s - I think you should have your bikini line however you want to - my DP would quite like me to have a neat triangle - it is my choice to get rid - if I don't also find odd twirls of loo roll get caught in hair yuk - just feels nicer to me when off - when left au naturel feels like a lot in the front of my knickers.

Totally natural here, unless I'm going swimming in which case I trim so nothing is peeking out the sides. Really CBA doing anything more TBH. DH hasn't mentioned anything Grin
