a new trend for giant hairy marys sweeps the nation

[joanofarchitrave]

'Nice shorts Joan'
'Actually that's my pubic hair'

Proud owner of non- 'neat' 'trimmed' 'tidy' pubes since 1984. Cuddle up to my warm furriness, lads, you billiard-ball fanciers have no idea what you're missing.

[TaggieMandevilleBlack]

What about pits? And legs?

God i wish furry legs was fashionable.

[TaggieMandevilleBlack]

Was? Were?

bushy fanjo yuck! Long may the Hollywood wax continue...

[FastidiaBlueberry]

Hilarious that women think bushy fanjo yuk. Talk about self-hatred. I think bald fanjo yuk. And unhygienic.

[ogredownstairs]

Great article. Thankfully all this waxed fanjo business happened way after I was too old to care - I don't remember anyone doing that in the 80's. Bit of immac on the bikini line once a year ( and only on actual wisps) was quite far enough, thank you very much.

Wish bushy legs were a trend too :(
Waxing legs is the worst. I have proper fur ://

[RandomMess]

yeah to the guardian

[WavingLeaves]

A bald, scabby, spotty fanjo is yuk. Which is what mine would be like if I waxed it.

Great article.

Euphemia - all fours?! What salon do you go to?! .

[hedgehogpatronus]

True enough. I ended up with an infection in my C-section wound because of a misguided attempt at 'prepping' the area (done by me, not the hospital). Should've bloody left the under-'tache alone.

[JudithOfThePiece]

I will never understand why some women think they look good with no pubic hair. I've always thought it's not only unhygienic (as that article says) but makes them look like a child. Yuk!

I can understand a little bit of trimming if the hair is tickling your knees, but shaving/ waxing it all off? No thanks!

[FateLovesTheFearless]

Went for a hollywood wax the other day, don't know what the fuss is about, barely hurt at all and there was no going on all fours, it was actually done a lot more discreetly that I imagined.

As for looking like a child, that would be rather difficult considering I have breasts, hips of a woman and overall a body thats produced four children! You wouldn't say a lassie looks like a child for shaving armpits which only become hairy in puberty too, would you?

Its a personal preference and neither is 'yuck' IMO.

[EdithWeston]

Actually, I would say it is a harking to a pre-pubescent look, but when it's not a sexual part of the body it is does not carry the sexual message that a hairless mons does.

And neither do legs/pits carry the health risks highlighted in OP.

Great article :)

[CuttedUpPear]

Bald pubis = child.

Complete waxes are wrong for all the obvious reasons, I hope this trend dies the death it deserves.

[FateLovesTheFearless]

If you go by that article you wouldn't shave anywhere. It states surgeons found the shaving of body parts (not just fanjo then!) increased risk of infection. I expect the armpit is a pretty warm, moist place too.

If you practice good personal hygiene (along with safe sex) I think it's just an over dramatic article.

[OhEmGee24]

No a full wax is not yuck. It's personal preference. I go every month and have done for years and it's not degrading or
remotely painful, nor do I go on all fours. As for looking like a child. Err no. I've got hips, boobs and I'm a mother. It's personal preference. And it stops poor dp having to engulf straggly wires during oral sex. I feel much cleaner being waxed too. So please, to all those saying its gross and childlike, grow up!

[OhEmGee24]

Oh and to add my gynaecologist RECOMMENDED waxing!

[KandyBarr]

Great article - always suspected full waxing was for the self-loathing.

[OneLittleToddlingTerror]

I actually do find shaving my legs really really dries it out. I never understood why my legs were so dry, until watching a Sali Hughes video on hair removal on the Guardian. Stopped shaving the legs, got myself a Lumea. Best decision ever. My legs are very smooth without lots of moisturiser now.

I'm a trim it down there girl though. I can't stand waxing any part of my body. Let alone my pubes.
