I used to sport the landing strip up until I was about 6 months pregnant with ds who is now 2. I stopped shaving as I couldn't see what I was doing, also might sound daft but kind of wanted it to be the way nature intended to give birth.
Since then I haven't shaved, waxed, trimmed etc. I'm not massively hairy so it's not a full on 80s style bush.
DP moaned the other day as he liked it the way I used to have it. Hmm. I sort of told him tough luck it's my bits and quite frankly I cba and like not having itchy stubble. He watched our Baby come out of there fgs surely he realises it's not a fashion accessory?
AIBU to not make the effort for dp?

Me!

Spookey80 · 18/01/2014 20:07

Yanbu, I too am pretty au naturel. Life's too short... It all still works the same!

AtYourCervix · 18/01/2014 20:07

I have purple dreads.

Only for me mind. Nibody else ever sees them.

Can I ask how old you are? I'm 32 and I have noticed it seems to be almost unacceptable amongst some of my younger work colleagues to not be styled.

Yep. Au naturel.
Have a wax when I go on holiday but only bikini line.

BrokenBananaTantrum · 18/01/2014 20:09

There was an interesting discussion about this on Radio 4 Womens Hour this week.
I trim mine but that is all. No shaving or waxing here.

Weelady77 · 18/01/2014 20:09

YANBU I get a Brazilian done but it's for me not DH, you do what you want

Yamyoid · 18/01/2014 20:10

A styled fanny?
I fear for my dd.

harticus · 18/01/2014 20:10

Does your DP shave his bollocks?

brunette123 · 18/01/2014 20:10

nope all off here - I am brunette (surprise) and left untamed have alot - not just a triangle - strays onto tops of inner thighs too and is not short and curly - it is long and straight I kid you not - maybe 2 inches if left - I have very long straight hair on my head too but that is ok!

Crowler · 18/01/2014 20:11

I wax and laser. Not natural. Agree it's wrong, but I just like it this way.

Purplemonster · 18/01/2014 20:11

I periodically hack at mine with a pair of nail scissors but that's about as much as I can be arsed to do. I'm 31 but tbh I've never bothered much with it, it's just laziness!

hootloop · 18/01/2014 20:12

Me. Massive bush, don't even trim it.
DH jokingly refers to it as a 70s growler buy has never asked me to to remove or control it.
I have shaved it in the past it was unbearably itchy and DH didn't want to have sex because it felt 'wrong'.

WorraLiberty · 18/01/2014 20:12

I parked in a P&C space at the supermarket...ran into the disabled toilets and removed all my pubic hair Grin

BohemianGirl · 18/01/2014 20:12

A lot of younger men body shave too. Seems to be the in thing. I notice girls in their 20's also shave their arms.

I really don;t see why this while shaving thing causes so much consternation and discussion. Cameron Diaz was very funny this week though

WoodBurnerBabe · 18/01/2014 20:12

I'm 35 and haven't touched mine ever, bar the very occasional trim of the straggles for a swimming costume. Don't even bother with that now tbh, as I don't actually give a fuck who sees or cares. DH doesn't care either way as long as no stubble.

hootloop · 18/01/2014 20:13

Ps I am 30.

I'm proud of my 70's porno style bush.
I'll trim and tidy up the edges if going swimming, but apart from that au naturel

I am a 70's girl Grin

AtYourCervix · 18/01/2014 20:14

Shock Worral.

Did you feed the bits to your goat?

brunette123 · 18/01/2014 20:15

I am in my 40s - I think you should have your bikini line however you want to - my DP would quite like me to have a neat triangle - it is my choice to get rid - if I don't also find odd twirls of loo roll get caught in hair yuk - just feels nicer to me when off - when left au naturel feels like a lot in the front of my knickers.

AtYourCervix · 18/01/2014 20:16

My Ds who are teenagers have untamed arms.

HemlockYewglimmer · 18/01/2014 20:16

Totally natural here, unless I'm going swimming in which case I trim so nothing is peeking out the sides. Really CBA doing anything more TBH. DH hasn't mentioned anything Grin
