I’ve grown all my pubic hair back and I love it!

[BuffaloCauliflower]

Sorry I know this is a weird post, but I’m 31 and have a full bush for the first time since I was 14, and I need to talk about it.
I started shaving pretty much as soon as I had hair, I was sexually active at 14, and despite a lot of professed feminism I had clearly internalised something about a need to remove my public hair. I’ve been bare or maybe the odd strip ever since 14.

A couple of weeks ago I somehow flicked the telly over onto Naked Attraction (what the hell is that show?!) and noticed a whole line up of totally pubicly bald women, and had such a strong reaction. We’re adult women! We’re meant to have hair! What was I doing? So I’ve left it all to grow back and honestly it feels so good. It’s all soft and nice and I feel weirdly sexy, how did I never realise before?

All women should absolutely do what they want with their own bodies and their own hair, I’ve argued long and hard for why I shaved, so please don’t take this as a judgement, but as an adult woman with my natural hair for the first time ever, I’m feeling so liberated and just wanted to share!

Interesting, in the last 3-4 years I periodically waxed because h liked it and it was convenient for swimming etc. Buts he's stbexh and I'm facing the dating scene - in your late 40's is natural, all off or in between (not that I'm thinking of going that far yet, coffee is my limit!)

Doesn't like the little girl look

Well it only took until page one for one of these

The full bush is definitely making a come back. About time too!

Viva la Bush!

No nope and no way
Gives me a sweaty fluff if I keep my pubes

Congrats on making your private hair public at last, OP .

Don't really understand the big deal. I shaved mine off twice now late 40s. Very itchy pretty much immediately so haven't done it more. Probably wouldn't be attracted to someone who had a problem with hair and I have a problem with shaving. Namely my hands down my pants for the next week

My dh prefers hair and also thinks men are weird who insist on no hair.
Can't help how they feel.
If a woman prefers it shaven that's different, but nobody should feel they have/need to remove hair.

Viva La Bush. Totally agree

I’ve been lucky that shaving has never been hugely problematic, minimal itching. I probably got it down to a fine art starting so young.

I shave it all off! I just remember my period blood clinging on my pubic hair when I was 14 and I wasn't allowed to have a bath when I was on my periods, so all week I had dry hard blood clinging on to my bush. Yuk

I think the bald look is very weird. It reminds me of my niece aged 5. I won't sleep with anyone who likes it bald and refuse to shave/wax because it seems a bit perverted to me?

I also tried shaving once when I was younger and Christ it was so itchy for about a week. The things women do in the name of grooming. Never again!

I used a Phillips Lumea on mine and now never need to shave my undercarriage or bikini line, all zapped off. Bliss as it was all going very grey.

I don’t have the full sha-bang but it’s there and trimmed neatly. Struggling with a baby bump now though so guess it will be full blown au natural before I know it!

I grew it all back for about 4 months - hated it and couldn’t wait to get rid. I prefer totally shaved but keep a strip for my partner who prefers hair. He loved the full bush!

It never occurred to me to shave down there! The hair is there to protect your private little bits from infection, and isn't it a bit weird and creepy to want to look like a little girl?

congrats, OP
how long did it take to grow back completely?

in my 50 decades are you a vampire thenightsky?

Hear, hear - Viva la bush!
Cheers!

It'll fall out again when you get older
.Can anyone tell me what age this shedding happens?

@Pornstarlips

Saw the show a couple of weeks ago - jeez, you're a fast grower!

I usually keep mine somewhere between trimmed to a grade 1 and full bush.

I'm 37 and waxing wasn't as popular when I met my now husband 17 years ago so he's not known any differently. I'm sure he'd like it shaved but it's uncomfortable and it's my body!

I think we'll see the resurgence of the full bush again in the next decade. Fashions always change.

Whoever just said Viva la Bush 😂😂 just spat my drink out laughing

41 and never shaved. Always too lazy, and firmly of the mind that if a man gets down there and doesn't like it, it isn't me with the problem... never had any objections but I have been with DH for 19 years

Think I'll stick to being smooth down there lol

I think totally bald looks creepy and pre-pubescent but I do like mine trimmed as I find it gets sweaty and uncomfortable if too long.
I use a beard trimmer.

Such a weird conversation, thank heavens for the anonymity of the Internet!
