Beach-ready 'down there'

[mumoseven]

Did I really just see an advert for some razor, where a woman was coyly telling a story about getting naked at a BBQ and was worried about being BEACH READY DOWN THERE?
WTF?

Total sexist bullshit. Where's the equivalent men's ad in blue?

It's not "free choice" to remove body hair. There is social disapproval for not doing so. many more women, especially younger women, now remove pubic hair since, for example, online porn came in: they didn't just all decide to do so in a vacuum.

petal if that's how you want your body that's your prerogative. Beach ready shouldn't have to mean plucked naked like a chicken. It should mean however you want your body to look like. Natural, pink, blue, glittery, styled like a fish or bald.

Wow, I just watched the ad, it's terrible! Hadn't seen it on telly. Off to vote again

So twice a week,3 times at a push I shave the lot off.under arms legs, and noodle, but the stuff grows back dead fast, so my question is,you ladies with a full bush,just how long does it grow to?????and if it stops growing how does it know when to stop...no one wants fanny fur down to yr knees

I trim mine if it gets irritating but actually I've never shaved it off. It never gets that long and it certainly wouldn't reach my knees.

Thanks for the link. I note that whichever style of pubes you vote for, you still end up with two massive chunks of pube further down the leg at uneven points (cunningly disguised as leaves). I think that should actually be the next fashion thing.

"just how long does it grow to????? and if it stops growing how does it know when to stop...no one wants fanny fur down to yr knees"

It knows when to stop in the same way that your eyebrows and eyelashes know when to stop.

It's fine for an individual to decide he/she wants to depilate round their pubis. It's not fine to tell those who don't want to that it's 'unsightly' (even if you are a razor-making company)

needaclevernn,I've always always got rid of the stuff,I'm surprised mine does still grow back.youd of thought it would of got the message by now...as for beach body ready,sadly I'm more beach ball,than beach ready but sssshhhh don't tell anyone x

Like I said petal you want to remove your hair that is your choice. I don't yet I'm the one that has to hide to not receive comments or made to feel weird.

Beach body should be for everyone. Not just the hairless

Fur-free here
I prefer it, I feel cleaner. It hurts like holy hell to get it all waxed but to me, it's worth it.
I shave my legs and underarms a few times a week as well.
I just see it as something I do, like brushing my teeth.
I do it for myself as its MY preference.
But each to their own! I haven't seen the advert but I know it would annoy me!
And I'm somebody who would spend time scrubbing/waxing/shaving/tanning/toenail painting etc before leaving the house going on holiday
But that's just me. I like to feel well-groomed and I wear make up all the time. I wear eyeliner and mascara 24/7.
But each to their own!
If dh or anyone made a comment or told me to wax etc, they'd get another think coming
(Ok I know that didn't actually make sense but it bought it was funny anyway )

It's how companies sell stuff,make you feel bad about yourself so you think you need their product....it's all bollocks..

79%! Heads will roll in the marketing department tomorrow at wilkinson sword....!

Oh no, it's gone down to 78% !!

And even my five more votes haven't upped it.

It's odd because surely everyone buys razers for legs or armpits and knicker line. Fully logical reasons to buy reason for. Why just focus on using it for your bits?

Just voted and it's gone down to 77%

When your company is called Wilkinson Sword, you wouldn't want 'heads to roll'.

As if the advert isn't annoying enough, that bloody woman's voice really grates! Oh and at 6 months pregnant I can't see if I'm 'beach ready' and that's good enough for me! 😆

So Petal if you really have to ask whether pubic hair stops growing before it reaches your knees, does that mean you never actually had any yourself, did you start shaving as soon as your hair started growing?

75% I think a backlash has begun!

Can't find the ad anywhere! Also voting though...

Although I'm all for "au natural" I wouldn't mind a quick word with God (or with the process of evolution ) to explain perhaps some of us don't need quite so much down there. Quite uncomfortable without giving it a once-over with the old sit on top lawnmover every month. Annoying.

I just voted twenty a few more times. Sticking at 75%

I'm congenitally both fluffy and lazy. I also have dark hair and pale(ish) skin.
The only times I've been called up on this are by boys at school in my teens and when giving birth to dcs 3&4 (twins) at 39 by bloody midwives!

Iggy999,ive just always shaved it off.automactially like anyone shaves their legs...I've never given it a second thought till today....someone said in a past post that all this shaving it off was down to porn.....I've only ever seen a tiny bit of debi does Dallas ,and I'm sure she had a bush..
