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've epilated for so long it just doesn't grow now, ditto armpits and legs.

Misunderstoodagain · 20/09/2023 16:46

I had laser and had it all removed. I did this for myself as when I was a teenager I remember the horror of being in a bikini and having 'tuffs' breaking through. Find it a lot cleaner as well.

I am diy up if I'm going swimming, nothing more

I got waxed a couple of times to go on beach holidays, just a tidy-up on the sides, nothing major. And on these early-80s beach holidays I would observe all the French and Italian women not giving a damn! Have left my pubic hair alone since then.

RomaniIteDomum · 20/09/2023 16:52

Used to wax, got blood blisters every time.
Stopped and so much happier now

I'm amazed at so many women trimming/tidying it up with a razor!! I use Nair/Veet type cream (only before I go on hols or swimming) as for some reason I always assumed shaving would give me a terrible Ra's! To be honest, cream sometimes gives me a bit of a rash but it doesn't last that long.

Public hair is weird - I have friends who are, overall, much hairier than me and with very dark hair (I'm blonde) but they don't need to do their bikini lines as they stay in "the triangle" and don't have stragglers. My hair isn't that thick or dark at all, but talk about making a run for it!! In midwinter it's halfway to my knees 😂

IMustDoMoreExercise · 20/09/2023 16:58

I am 57 and have never shaved.

CurlewKate · 20/09/2023 17:00

When you say "Rocks the bush" do you mean "has pubic hair like an adult woman uninfluenced by the porn industry"?

Miniminiminimalist · 20/09/2023 17:01

I am considering it....

For those that don’t remove anything - how hairy are you?

If my bits looked like those in a text book with just some hair on the mons pubis I’d leave it too.

What I actually have is a full chewbacca with hair EVERYWHERE. No one would be going down on that, it’d be like licking a wiry poodle.

It's covered by boy leg underwear and swimwear and the odd outlier half way down my thigh

I've never had a problem with smell or hygiene.

If I got together with a fella who had a problem with my body then I'd show him the way out.

KyliesPencilCollection · 20/09/2023 17:03

I don't shave/wax/remove any body hair. There's really no need!

PatsWoggle · 20/09/2023 17:05

I use veet to get it all off for a pool holiday or spa break but the rest of the time I leave it completely.
I don't particularly like being hairless there, I find it really sweaty and uncomfortable.

Ladybrrrd · 20/09/2023 17:08

"Can we please stop with this stupid word when discussing it!"

Which word?

Meanwhile, still pmsl, "licking a wiry poodle" 🤣🤣🤣

Unhygienic - it's not unhygienic! It's clean (and conditioned when I'm feeling fancy!)

And my DH still ventures down there frequently - no hair on the clit, so no issue. Licking a wiry poodle he is not!

MrsMoastyToasty · 20/09/2023 17:14

Full Bush- but the foliage is less abundant with the me**nopause.and seems to be re attaching to my chin.

Ladybrrrd · 20/09/2023 17:16

Am I the only one seeing @MrsMoastyToasty's post in gigantic size font?

I'm very impressed by the size of your full bush 😂

twobluechickens · 20/09/2023 17:16

"We plough the fields and scatter" 😂😂😂

Trimmed here these days (well, when I can be arsed) but used to go full bush. Only had one bloke comment on it (my twat ex); the others were just pleased that a shag was on the cards.

I am not quite Chewbacca level pubes, though, it's fairly contained. I rarely bother with armpits and legs either these days, and am noticing an increasing number of women doing the same.

But ultimately it is entirely your personal choice and nobody else's business.

Ladybrrrd · 20/09/2023 17:17

Oh no, back to normal now.... carry on.

Willowview · 20/09/2023 17:18

@Ladybrrrd , was hoping the word was "bush", but only for comedy value, I have an extremely childish sense of humour.

I have nothing against bushes, wiry, or conditioned, I have cobwebs on mine!

Willowview · 20/09/2023 17:23

TBF I saw moasty's gigantic full bush before it shrank. It was tremendous!

WanderingWitches · 20/09/2023 17:29

I don't shave any body hair.
About 2 times a year I might get annoyed with pube length, usually when its hot and I will do a slight trim.

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 .

Why would you even suggest that an adult woman would look like a child if she had no pubic hair? That is disgraceful.

Rock your bush all you like, good for you. How about you leave other women alone to their choices without insulting them?

😂 it’s an apt description. I have so much hair there’s no accessing the clit without getting a mouthful. Like a fluffy cats nipple would be.

I wish I could leave it!

jolaylasofia · 20/09/2023 17:44

@TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross yes ofcourse it's just mentally i feel dirty.

ASuitableName · 20/09/2023 17:47

Seasonal pruning only

faban · 20/09/2023 17:57
