I've-always- wanted a large number of people to answer this question./weird. Just don't know what's 'normal'.

Trim for me, wax is just annoying, shaving is itchy and scratchy and natural is apparently not socially acceptable :-\

nowt

HollyBerryBush · 04/04/2013 21:51

err, trim the bits that stick out of swimwear?

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 04/04/2013 21:52

Wax!

Chocoflump · 04/04/2013 21:53

I give it a trim every now and again just!

changeforthebetter · 04/04/2013 21:54

Trim and tidy. Am not keen on hair escaping my not very high cut tankini. I shaved completely once Blush it was awful. I am not a prepubescent girl. Trimming and tidying is what I do with hair on my scalp, eyebrows. But then I am 45, I am sure the yoof contingent will be along soon to tell us men like it it's cleaner Wink

I shave the bits that stick out of swimwear, as I have pubes that grow across onto my upper thigh.

ReturnOfEmeraldGreen · 04/04/2013 21:55

Nowt. Life's too short and DH doesn't like pruned ladygardens!

WipsGlitter · 04/04/2013 21:55

My 'lady garden' is massive. It's down the back of my thighs, long black hair, and my inner thighs to halfway down. So not like a few spiders legs poking out. I leave it wild in winter, but it needs attention now - will use wax strips and immac.

Mibby · 04/04/2013 21:56

Clipped very short but not waxed or shaved, grow back is too painful and itchy

TheSeventhHorcrux · 04/04/2013 21:56

shave Blush which I hate doing but hate the idea of waxing more. And OH has a smooth preferance. I personally don't care so if I was single it would be nowt.

MsVestibule · 04/04/2013 21:57

Full 70s bush, with bits at the side trimmed/shaved in the summer! I occasionally trim it with nail kitchen scissors, when I can be bothered.

I honestly don't know what is the most common way of Pubic Hair Management nowadays (worded that badly, but you know what I mean). How 'usual' is a Brazilian? 20%? 70%? Is it age dependent?

Fairylea · 04/04/2013 21:57

Shave it all off. Balder than a plucked turkey. Such a nice mental image :)

Wolfiefan · 04/04/2013 21:57

Just started waxing. Question. What do you use to trim?

YoothaJoist · 04/04/2013 21:58

Nowt. I like it, DP likes it, and 'socially acceptable' is bullshit: I don't show society my genitalia.

HollaAtMeBaby · 04/04/2013 21:58

YABU

Buddhagirl · 04/04/2013 21:59

When people are saying 'nowt' you mean au natural or all off?

Short back and sides wax for me.

Buddhagirl · 04/04/2013 21:59

I'm a hairy beast with no difference between pubes and leg fur. I shave all the way from ankles to knicker line and trim what's left. I find the bald porn look creepy. If anyone ever wanted me bald down there, I'd think they were a pervert.

Buddhagirl · 04/04/2013 22:01

Au natural lois

Full on 70s minge. Dh doesn't care. Trimmed and sides shaved for swimming.

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 04/04/2013 22:02

Trim here too, tidy up around edges in summer/swimming. Hate the thought that my dd will feel pressurised into whipping it all off- there is no nice way to do it. Hate this trend and am only in 30's. I hear its contributing to the spread of warts now [grim]

meditrina · 04/04/2013 22:05

Natural is fine! I don't show the area to enough people for there to be a general social interest.

I do trim the bits that stick out from a (not particularly high cut) swimming cossie in the holiday season, but that's all.

FortyFacedFuckers · 04/04/2013 22:06
