Beach-ready 'down there'

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?

I am completely hair free by choice. But my GOD I wouldn't attack it with a razor. (Nor would I announce it at a BBQ to be fair)

Pinkheart5915 · 01/06/2016 14:36

You did indeed see that advert. I thought the same when I saw it.

I am beach ready if that's want the advert wants to call it but would I use a razor ? No I wouldn't

Tiffanytwisted · 01/06/2016 14:55

I'm ready.

When I was pregnant women in my ante natal class were making salon appointments for biking waxes 'to be ready for baby'. That was six years ago. This seems like a logical next step - get thee from the beach with your visible evidence of being and adult human foul hairy crone.

IS THIS THE WORLD WE WANT? Hairy and proud here.

Katiepoes · 01/06/2016 15:09

Biking waxes? Sigh. Bikini of course.

Jaques -How do you achieve that? i used to shave (just the bottom bit for oral Blush) but cannot be bothered these days ..

calisha · 01/06/2016 15:15

I am reliably informed that in pornography my normally hairy ladygarden would now be filed under 'fetish' So apparently normal grown up women with normal grown up hairy pubes are a fetish.....

OnALonelyShore · 01/06/2016 15:18

Horrible advert and concept.

There is a survey on their website - here - where you can vote for your favourite 'look'. Just sayin' ... not that we would all go and vote and try to sabotage it in any way Grin

AnyFucker · 01/06/2016 15:33

Great article Smile

This gives me the rage Angry

Shallishanti · 01/06/2016 19:29

wasn't there an ad on the underground last year about being 'beach ready' (=thin), I remember lots of witty and creative responses to that
harder to be witty and creative with a TV advert- or at least to reach an audience

NeedACleverNN · 01/06/2016 19:30

I don't think beach ready just means shaving down there anymore

A friend of mine has just gone on holiday. Her FB status just before she left:-
Aaah the stuff women have to go through to be ready for the beach! Hair cut and sorted, sun bed top up, waxed and shaved everywhere, toe nails painted and makeup on! What has he gotta go? Pack his clothes!

I did point out she doesn't actually need to do all that but apparently yes she does or she will look awful. Everyone was agreeing and saying this like the burden of being a woman. I gave up

Seren85 · 01/06/2016 19:31

That advert properly seriously winds me up. I've just done the survey as a minor act of rebellion against this bush facism.

ExcuseMyEyebrows · 01/06/2016 19:31

Keep voting! We're only at 10%...

LemonRedwood · 01/06/2016 19:37

Thank you, NeverBuyTheDailyMail, that article put into words verything I was feeling but couldn't articulate.

BusStopBetty · 01/06/2016 19:41

This beach ready shit boils my piss. This year I am buying board shorts. Fuck waxing.

FlowerOfTheWest · 01/06/2016 19:42

"ONatural"? Hmm

SoddingPufflers · 01/06/2016 20:04

I did have to chuckle recently when, discussing a trip to the local pool, my friend declared she would need to get the forestry commission in after the very long winter. Grin

Flumpsnlumpsnstuff · 01/06/2016 20:16

13% o'natural now Grin
I did a full wax last year for hubby's birthday
He'd done the same year before for mine as a joke he hated it apparently as a father of 2 tween girls he feels very odd about his wife doing this Hmmit was a long dry itchy 2months

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 01/06/2016 20:24

Survey currently at 47% natural Grin

ExcuseMyEyebrows · 01/06/2016 20:35

Nooo Sponge, 47% is BALD!

ONatural Hmm is only 14

It let me vote again though so there's hope yet.

mumoseven · 01/06/2016 20:46

Three votes for O Natural (Au naturel?)

I did wonder what the empty plant pot referred to.. I thought it was letting me vote numerous times but think it only lets you have one go!
Keep voting people ... You can also leave them a comment if you so wish.. It's actually pretty funny, I'd laugh if I wasn't in so much disbelief - it's really got that bad hasn't it?
