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 saw ad.

Fuck me, when will women stop this shite. Men don't give a stuff, they are just pleased to be in the vicinity of a naked lady.

The main thing preventing me from being beach ready is that my 4 year old won't put his flaming hat on.

We need a MN cosign: Bring Back The Bush!

MrsSchadenfreude · 01/06/2016 21:19

Campaign not cosign. Fucking phone.

flanjabelle · 01/06/2016 21:26

Every time that advert comes on dp turns it right up to wind me up because he knows it makes me want to smash things. I fucking hate that woman and her smarmy fucking face.

No, advert lady. I am not fucking 'beach ready'. My pubes are trying to join forces with my ankle hairs and take over the world. Fuck you.

TheoriginalLEM · 01/06/2016 21:26

i tried to vote it wouldn't let me!!!

ExcuseMyEyebrows · 01/06/2016 21:26

Sorry Sponge, the Hmm face wasn't at you, it was the 'ONatural' stupid name.

I've just voted again.

Whatthefoxgoingon · 01/06/2016 21:28

I want to punch her in the face. Hard.

< waves at MrsS >

UnmentionedElephantDildo · 01/06/2016 21:48

I just voted. Natural now in second place with 17%, all off at 43%

And any form of topiary down in single figures.

I'm tempted to dye mine purple and plait it. That would change the mood of a BBQ.

Settledinmyways · 01/06/2016 21:53

Now at 20%. Maybe if I stay up all night voting...

grumpymummy72 · 01/06/2016 22:00

Survey now at 21% Grin

HelenaDove · 01/06/2016 22:10

"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...."

Fucking ridiculous. In some ways like this one things have got worse since the 1970s

HelenaDove · 01/06/2016 22:13

Just voted Natural which now is at 23%

Hollywood is at 42%

FlowerOfTheWest · 01/06/2016 22:23

25% now thanks to my people's votes! I bet they'll be making some changes to their online poll setup. Grin

PrancingQueen · 01/06/2016 22:29

27% now Grin
Bring back the bush!

ShotgunNotDoingThePans · 01/06/2016 22:31

25% Grin. I thought this must be a wind up last night - after the backlash 'do you have a body? Are you on a beach? Then you're ready!' style responses, I can't believe any company would seriously use it as a strapline.
Fucking appalled and sick of this shit.

WalkingBlind · 01/06/2016 22:34

My previous DP's have expected hollywood because of porn, etc. Fortunately my DP loves natural woman and how they're meant to look. I have plenty of modifications so i'm not some "we must all be natural" campaigner but it's fucking ridiculous that we're actually expected to modify our bodies or be shamed for it, makes me furious! I now say DP is far more of a "real" man than the boys who expect porn stars from the average woman Angry

I also bought myself some fancy-ass "pube oil" (FUR oil) to treat my damn self and my lady garden is super soft haha. Makes me feel like i have princess pubes Grin

HelenaDove · 01/06/2016 22:37

Ive never had it expected of me by a partner but i have tended to go for older men. Perhaps thats why.

I'm voting multiple times. Small act of solidarity for women who really don't want to be told how to feel about THEIR OWN FUCKING PUBES!! Sigh.
Can rarely be arsed to shave, but next time I do I wll make sure I don't buy those fricking razors.

PrancingQueen · 01/06/2016 22:40

Grin at pube oil Walking - where did you get it from?
Mine is like a Brillo

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 01/06/2016 22:41

fancy-ass "pube oil" (FUR oil)

Where does one get such a thing? (Too scared to Google )

HelenaDove · 01/06/2016 22:42

Fucking infuriates me that womens pubic hair is seen as "dirty" but mens isnt.

grumpymummy72 · 01/06/2016 22:43

It's now up to 30 per cent vs 38 per cent Hollywood. Bring back the bush! Flowers I know, and mine isn't multicoloured, but nearest Mumsnet offer.
