Found a pube growing halfway down my thigh!

I was doing a quick topiary check after my shower today and was distracted by an offending hair that had decided to grow halfway down my thigh Confused wtf. Obviously I plucked the offending hair straight out, briefly contemplated giving the rest of it a trim and decided I'd rather have a cup of tea instead. I'll deal with the knicker beard another day. With 12 weeks of shielding I need to pace myself on the chores list. Is this an age thing, migrating pubes? Do they go south along with other bodily items? Small mercy it wasn't grey I suppose.

I've got one on the outside of my left thigh. I call it my witchy-poo hair Blush

That was Stanley.

He's here to look after you.

Op his friends will be along to keep him company. When they've gathered en masse they start turning grey. Something to look forward to.

They all gradually migrate down your legs until you're pube free.

Ghostlyglow · 03/04/2020 20:27

Yes they do. It's another delight of the menopause...

TerrorWig · 03/04/2020 20:31

Fuck off menopause Grin I’ve had a couple like this since I was in my early 20s!

HermanTheWorm · 03/04/2020 20:55

I've had random hairs pop up all over the place, since I was a teen. And since my first pregnancy, I've had stomach pubes from round the button and down, where you tend to grow some because of the hormones or something, I forget. Well they're nasty proper pubey ones now.

amusedbush · 03/04/2020 20:57

I’ve not found any on my thighs but I have a persistent one that appears on the underside of my chin. I call it my bristle.

I’ve had it make an appearance every few weeks since I was about 17. It’s not there one day, then the next morning it’s an inch long Confused

I'm 43, and perimenopausal. It sucks enough without thigh pubes.

Holymolymackerel · 03/04/2020 21:09

I have a few like that that but only the left thigh, noticed it about 18 months ago. Apparently it's the perimenopause!

SharpieInThe · 03/04/2020 21:11

If you suit black cycling shorts I have some good (hairy) news for you.

Skeeter2020 · 03/04/2020 21:14

Could they be socially distancing from each other?

Rewy · 03/04/2020 21:26

Pmsl @ social distancing

MadauntofA · 03/04/2020 21:29

They are in league with the sneaky chin hairs which you don't see until you have half a beard. Get yourself into a yoga legs behind the ears position and you will find millions of them hiding mid thigh, on the back of your legs- frightening what is potentially visible to others and not to youBlush

Apart from the knicker beard which is always a delight , also notice that the minge is thinning - I saw whoopi Goldberg on graham norton saying the same thing too

SistemaAddict · 03/04/2020 21:38

Yes, it's definitely not as luxurious as it used to be. I put that down to regular waxing but I only did that for a couple of years so I guess hormones are to blame for that too.

KenDodd · 03/04/2020 21:43

I've got one on my stomach. I pluck it out sometimes but it just comes back. Pube wins, I lose.

Lilmisskittykat · 03/04/2020 21:54

I get random ones on the back of my thighs... at that point where you have to really grab and strain to get to see them... mortified.

I found the first one sat watching tv one night in shorts.. i expected it to be clear (get a random one on my face that comes from no where) but no big black thick pube like one - with a couple
Of random mates ..... I had been wearing shorts to the gym with no idea they were there - Blush

SuperlativeScrubs · 03/04/2020 21:56

I have the odd stray one towards the top of my thighs up towards my hips as well as the ones migrating down the thighs!

mineofuselessinformation · 03/04/2020 22:08

It's called gravity, OP.
It comes to us all, along with the descending hairline at the back of the neck, and more hairs on our face (for that read beard).
I always like to think that if it was someone who designed the human body, it had to be a man! Grin

concernedforthefuture · 03/04/2020 22:21

I'm 40. Mine seem to be migrating. My foof has a bald patch Blush and random pubes are cropping up on my thighs instead. Hideous.

Justmuddlingalong · 03/04/2020 22:26

I found 2 legs,

growing out of my pubes.

Lindy2 · 03/04/2020 22:43

I have the strange thinning too. There's a weird bald patch in the middle. When I notice it in the bath I do a little comb over with the rest to even things out a bit 😂.

My leg hair is also disappearing which is rather good. It would have been nice if it had done that in my 20s though when I actually cared about having smooth legs.

leghairdontcare · 03/04/2020 22:47

Was it unfeasibly long?

AnneLovesGilbert · 03/04/2020 22:49

You’re just showing off that it wasn’t grey Grin

I don’t have a single grey on my head yet but have 4 persistently bright white pubes that appeared a couple of weeks ago. I’m outraged. Plucked them out twice now, stings like a bastard, and the buggers keep coming back.
