70s bush envy

731 replies

Is it just me or does anyone else have bush envy? Yes I mean pubic hair bush. I swear I have alopecia down there. I would love a big soft bush. Apparently you can get a bush wig which I'd seriously consider.

Nope, I whip mine off whenever it gets to 5mm tops.
Cannot STAND the sensation of pubes, or fanny valance as I like to call em.

Even if it's fluffy? It's like a cushion when your doing your conjugal duties and need a rest 😁

😂 that made me laugh fluffy would be preferable over a tough wiry one though which is what I would have if left au natural 😬

I've gone from being as bald as a coot to embracing my 70s vintage bush over the past few years. I used to shave my armpits every day but have given that up too.

For the PP who said lesbians are bald, my gay friend is as mother nature intended, as is her girlfriend.

I've stopped shaving/waxing except for the bikini line bits and I just trim if it's excessively bushy, like a previous poster, it was great for sex but actually worse for everything else, I had a couple of UTI's after being on my period and just sacked waxing off and I've not had one since.

Nope. It’s just grim. Taking care of yourself is important.

Grim? Would you like a grip?

Previous jobs which meant I worked in sexual health and there was a general consensus amongst professionals that hair removal was correlated with a lot of gynae issues. This of course would make sense given its purpose.

Show quote history

Look, I completely agree that having a completely shaven fanjo as an adult woman is grim, but can you elaborated on what gynae issues it is causing? And is there any evidence base for this? Or is it just some anecdotal reference to HCP’s judging that those with bald bits are more likely to be putting it about?

No bush discrimination here - share away 😁

I couldn’t envision myself with one. Maybe when I’m grey and old and don’t have the flex to reach it 😂

Strangely my daughter doesn’t shave her armpits but my son does now that’s a funny one.

I’m disappointed- I came here to reminisce about the laurel hedging at the front of my childhood home in the 70’s.

I came on because I thought it was my neighbour posting. Number 70 have got a lovely suffruticosa buxus and I've often seen the lady from 68 (they've paved over their front garden since their DS learned to drive, and they need three spaces) lingering nearby with a look of envy.

Grim?

Pubic hair is bad, ugly and/or depressing?

🤣🤣

PermanentlyTired03 · 24/04/2024 12:01

@Muddywalks34 totally agree. Trimmed as a minimum but prefer to wax. Hate loads of hair!

@Josette77

Thank god you said that! I was wondering about how you'd end up with a mouth full of hair? Sure a few errand ones occur, but you just remove them and carry on right 😁

Sparklybutold · 24/04/2024 11:37

I find this a really interesting response, so 'taking care of yourself' equates to grooming down there?

I find it odd too. I see nothing wrong with having natural public hair.

Well you can now walk around proud that people like me exist that are quite envious of your bush 😁

It my birthday today, and that's the best birthday present I could have hoped for!

Thanks!

In terms of public hair maintenance - I wonder whether there's a difference depending upon whether you are in a same sex or different sex relationship 🤔

It's not.
Almost every lesbian I know is hairless.
I go between bald and bushy, my partner is always trimmed.

That said I've been with men and women and if you are getting a mouth full of hair you might be doing it wrong

JeysusH · 24/04/2024 11:56

Muddywalks34 · 24/04/2024 11:48

Nope I think it’s vile, just my opinion but I personally like to be hair free, that goes for my DH as well, no one wants a mouth full of pubes 🤢

Is it not like velcro though if you're both a bit stubbly?

I have a lovely 70s bush and take very good care of myself.

I'm quite envious of the people with big red bushes with googly eyes.

Or is that Merkins? I get muddled up.
