To think this bikini line is very much waxed?

Yes, another pube thread.

But scroll down to the photos. Apparently the Mail's picture editors think a teeny tiny triangle is an unwaxed bikini line.

I think I'm with AA on the need for a pube debate after all.

diddl, if you're asking my own personal opinion then yes, I prefer a trimmed look for me and if I see someone at the pool with pubes hanging out their cossie then yes, I think that's unattractive....but it's their choice.

I wasn't thinking of pubes out of costumes btw, more if you happened to see someone changing.

I'm not a waxer, but have always assumed others don't want to see my pubes-so trim to fitGrin

This just made me laugh more than anything on the mannequins.

Not every woman has a huge bush. She might be unwaxed or waxed. Who knows?

I am not overly hairy. I don't get pubic hair growing outside of my knicker area. I can & often do go weeks without shaving legs/armpits & no-one would notice by looking.

So she could be unwaxed.

I have always had so little in the way of pubes that I have never waxed. When I had an EMCS the midwife asked the surgeon if she should shave me. He took one look and said 'don't bother' Grin So, yes, some of us do have the trimmed look naturally.

I had nothing at all outside my bikini line till I was nearly 30 but I think that's fairly unusual.

Loving the mannequin sporrans though

I've never waxed. The "What I'm really thinking piece In today's Guardian wouldn't encourage me.

SoulJacker · 19/01/2014 09:51

I didn't understand what bikini waxing was until i was mid 20s as i never realised that a lot of women have pubic hair that would be on show with knickers on. Mine doesn't grow out the sides.

So op Yabu, these models could be unwaxed and just not hairy.

SuzanneUK · 19/01/2014 10:14

The models appear to have had some tidying up in that area.

From what I've seen, many women's pubes do stay neatly within the bounds of their pubic triangles but I've never seen a woman whose pubes stayed well away from the outer edges of that triangle.

Perhaps I should get out more?

Or just stay indoors and ask my friends to show me theirs in exchange for seeing mine?

All in the cause of research, obviously.
