to ask you if you are hairless down there??

[melzyR]

a drunk conversation on a girls night sparked the conversation of shaving down there.... i was very surprised to hear that out of 11 females only 3 still had hair down there.... Its not something i ever thought about before, and in the conversation i was 1 of the 3 that wasn't completely bare down there lol i am now the center of several hairy jokes, which doesn't bother me as they are quite funny... But anyway, as none of us no each other on here my question is are most people bare down there?

nope. full on 70s bush here & lazy proud.

i 2 have a fat box... lol how does 1 even loose box weight? PMSL

Hahahahahahha 2cents ...I dare you to go ask a personal trainer!

I'm a hairy one and shocked by how many people aren't.

Good heavens, lifechanger - what led you to be posting about your fanjo fountain at gone three in the morning? I need to know more.

Do you have it set on a permanent cascade, or is there a programmable series of directional spurts and jets?

Has anyone ever thrown a penny in and made a wish?

I imagine it must attract a fair bit of insect life on a warm and sultry evening. Algae and fungus can also be an irritation, I expect.

I just use scissors every so often which means I go through cycles of au natural to quite bare- but only as bare as a pair of scissors will allow. I am much more concerned about my upper lip and eyebrows. Eyebrows get threaded and I use cream on my lip but would consider getting that lasered. I'm assuming that that would be very expensive though. I say do what you want and don't worry about 'letting the side down' one way or the other.

I don't think 'looking like a child' has much to do with it - noone seems to use that argument when it comes to armpits....

Right, well, following this thread I had a go with a razor yesterday morning.

At the risk of oversharing, I now have fanjo stubble. Far, far worse than the hair that was there before IMO.

What do you shavey people do about this? Do you have to keep shaving every day ?

"I don't think 'looking like a child' has much to do with it - noone seems to use that argument when it comes to armpits...."

There is a practical reason for shaving armpits.

I am going bald down there, actually. Maybe a combover?

What is the practical reason for shaving armpits? Surely not hygiene?

Minipie- did you not expect the hair to grow back and thus have stubble?

Hair in the arm pits collects sweat and therefore makes you smelly.

ruddy well, yes, if I'd actually been thinking things through, I would probably have reached that conclusion .

Just can't see why anyone does it if this is the result. It's like having sandpaper down there.

Seeker- same goes for a hairy fadge then. Hairy sweaty smelly.

Minipie- waxing is better.

ruddy I'm not going through actual pain in order to be less hairy.

I am hairy and proud

I shower or bathe each day, do not partake in manual labour and have a pleasant smelling furry burrow
You nekkid lot are weird and look odd at the gym

at 'pleasant smelling furry burrow.'

I'm with you Mini - no wax getting near my nethers. Or anywhere else on my body tbh. Cream or razor for some light landscaping possibly, but no need for complete removal.

And as for the idea of one of those epi-lady things near my labia... . And this is from someone who had no epidural.

When men start routinely getting back, crack and sack waxes then I might consider a little minor pubic topiary. Until then, I do not see why I should pay for the privilege of effectively napalming my lovely lady garden, suffering painful and spotty regrowth to boot.

People watch too many porn-influenced films and it makes public perceptions of what naked people should look like ridiculous and artificial.

No. The pubic mound does not have the sweat glands present in the arm pits. And obviously the arm pit is much more closed in and sweat gathering.

Please don't tell me people think that their pubic hair is smelly..... I don't think I could bear knowing that there are women who have bought into the women are dirty and smelly narrative peddled by a misogynist society to such an extent that they think their pubic hair is smelly!

stick a pair of specs on mine and you'd swear it was Gerry Adams.

Re: men shave- I have had boyfriends. Two shaved their balls religiously. One did the balls but also on occasion shaved the whole lot off. It looked fucking ridiculous and I told him he wasn't allowed to do it. I am a sick male oppressor, no?

I shave completely. Once a week to avoid a rash. I like it that way. Bollocks to what everyone else thinks.

I don't really want to fan the flames, but if you think the point of all this is to look like little girls, doesn't that make a pretty hefty proportion of the population paedophiles?

Ten years ago when I fell pregnant with DS I went in for my first checkup with an obstetrician (male, early 40's) and I had neatened up especially for the occasion (not talking bald here, just a short back undercaridge and sides) anyway, I got into position and he gasped saying something along the lines of "WTF" and then asked me what on earth posessed me to do such a thing.

About seven years ago I met a nice enough bloke, mid twenties, we were getting intimate and upon discovery of my lady garden (trimmed neatly once again) he also gasped, this time due to the presence of some hair.

Then I met DH (a virgin, marred by years of porn) who, once asked me to go bald; I asked if he was planning on doing the same, he said no, so the fluff remained. Having said that I have done it a few times on my own initiative, but each time I remember why I don't do it regularly; that hedgehog-in-your-knickers feeling just doesn't do it for me.

gawd

do you all bleach your arseholes too?

My bumhole doesn't NEED bleaching :o
