Who still rocks the bush?

Read a thread on waxing and made me wonder who here still has a full bush?

I trim if it gets too long but usually that’s it. I rock it full 70’s style and I’m only 34. Dh loves it Grin

I used to always shave it all except a landing strip.
Now I'm 64 it's left alone except for 6 times a year when l go abroad and l do a bikini line.
Too much hassle doing everything and no one see it.🤣

I used to shave all the time in my previous relationship, one night I hadn't bothered and my boyfriend at the time said it was disgusting so I dumped him for it, met my husband and he loves it haha

I'll occasionally do a bit of a trim and use some depilatory cream around the old bikini line if I'm going on holiday, but there is ABSOULTELY NO WAY I'm giving a stranger money to smear hot wax round my bits. Mental.

However, I don't have a huge amount of body hair anywhere apart from my head (clearly that's where it all ended up), so I appreciate that others' experiences may vary.

Haven't waxed for at least a decade. Trim the edges that's all

CosyCoffee · 20/09/2023 12:54

I have, and my dh prefers it like that.

gingerbreadbuns · 20/09/2023 13:22

I`ve never seen the point in being bald im an adult woman not a child.
I trim neat and tidy but not wax or shave bald if a man finds it disgusting or is put off with it i think hes watching too much porn ,
Why would you want to look like a child down there .
Everyone to their own but no thank you .

HollieHobbie · 20/09/2023 13:32

Used to shave but since menopause I don't bother. Far less faff and my sex life is just the same!

Nonexistent. 😝

jolaylasofia · 20/09/2023 13:50

i've had 3 kids i very much doubt i look like a child

Thequeenofwishfulthinking · 20/09/2023 13:52

All shaved off here too. I find the hair unhygienic. I don’t think it looks nice either

QueenBitch666 · 20/09/2023 14:12

All shaved here. Feels more hygienic. No partner so I shave to please myself. I find it make's masturbate more pleasurable

Soubriquet · 20/09/2023 14:17

Fair enough to those who shave/wax but I’ve never been interested in it. Too much maintenance. I rarely do my underarms and legs either

I shave the edges if I'm going swimming on holiday but other than that I just let it be as nature intended.

TheChosenTwo · 20/09/2023 14:23

I Keep it all short and trimmed and tidy.
Not all off, I had it waxed all off before and it felt bizarre and the re growth was horrible, plus dh said it freaked him out a bit because I looked prepubescent down there.

Frickinghell · 20/09/2023 14:36

Full on bush over here 👋

pinkdelight · 20/09/2023 14:38

Not bothering shaving it since early days of dating. Not that hairy anyway but prefer the look of it as nature intended, and MUCH prefer unshaven guys.

VeridicalVagabond · 20/09/2023 14:38

I vary it depending on my mood, husband doesn't care either way and I'm ginger so not much hair to begin with. I do enjoy the feeling of fully waxed smoothy smooth, but in the winter I tend to grow in my "fanny warmer".

Georgie743 · 20/09/2023 14:44

My wife rocks a full bush. It's glorious

Mummy08m · 20/09/2023 14:46

I trim maybe 3-4 times a year - I guess you could call that full! Always have done, never waxed or shaved. DH does the same and it can get pretty long between trims!

My policy has always been, if my body isn't good enough for a boyfriend, well there's the door, byeee.

Anyway never been intimate with anyone who had a problem with it, they've been too delighted to make it that far in the first place. And I feel the same about dh's when his gets a bit long, it's just a privilege to be the one who gets to see it, you know?

LuckyAmy1986 · 20/09/2023 14:53

@gingerbreadbuns yes I don't like DH shaving his facial hair either because I don't want him to look like a child. I also don't shave my legs or underarms because, yep, I don't want to look like a child!

Bemyclementine · 20/09/2023 14:54

I do an all over trim. Bikini line for holidays.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 20/09/2023 14:56

jolaylasofia · 20/09/2023 13:50

Surely showering takes care of that?

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 20/09/2023 14:58

Your pubic area is less hygienic if you shave, not more…

Johnnylewis · 20/09/2023 14:59

Full bush. The way I see it is I'm an adult woman, I have pubes and honestly cannot be bothered to trim, shave or wax. I'm not a very hairy person so they're well confined anyway.

Chypre · 20/09/2023 15:02

If I would have the "full bush" I would absolutely rock it, but what I have is more like a 14 y.o. boys patchy goatee so razor is the only proper answer.
