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?

Still 63% will try again tomorrow.

Trying to add link for morning voters...www.wilkinsonsword.co.uk/women/favourite-bikini-style

64%

64% now but the others aren't going down, so they are breaking the laws of mathematics, which is just another crime!

vote here
MUST. Go. To. Bed. Might just vote another couple of times...

OutToGetYou I love your DP is working on a code

We're on 64%

64% au naturel v 36% all the other 'styles' combined (19% all off) good result much confusion tomorrow I think

65% I did vote 8 times though.

65% now... the (hairy) power of mumsnet!

Ah, 65%. I have a meeting early in the morning, damn it! Have to go to bed.

Yep 65%

Plus an email telling em to sort their shit spelling

Yesss! It's 66% now (sleep is for the weak!) I've been voting too, and reading this thread, which I've been trying to giggle quietly at because everyone else is in bed.

Anyway, I'm 27 and managed to miss the memo that I should be hairless, I trim bits off my pubes because I find I get itchy if it gets too long, but that's just my thing. My DH doesn't give a hoot. I'm wondering if I'll be brave enough to show my hairy legs this summer, I always wear light maxi skirts when it's hot.

66%
There will be a lot of scratching of heads tomorrow.

Cant believe you lot made me vote for this. I prefer au naturelle. Canny be bothered. Am allergic to wax and veet, shaving is itchy, and wtf do you do with the shaved hairs.End up all over the bathroom😂

Just voted too! I'm all for a bit of a tidy but who hell shaves hearts or zig zags!!

Still 66%!

We need to keep this bumped!

Just voted. It such a load of bollocks. I can't quite believe I used to play along with the notion that fully grown women are sexier when their vaginas look like those of little girls. It's weird and, apparently, dangerous:

Fuck the marketing morons that came up with this (and their weird pouty mouthed tree woman - because a woman is nothing but the sum of her holes apparently...)

It's just another being woman is rubbish zone. Man and women decide to go swimming. Man puts on swim wear ready to go. Woman must shave arms legs tidy bicni area, this is usually vastly overgrown the small triangle of padding in swimwear-don't get that. add In the are you on your period are you likely to start stick a tampon up just incase woman is now ready to swim!

i took the insomniac shift and have bumped it up to 67%

Just for me, my lady garden is out of control if I don't shave and wax. Possibly because I shaved and waxed as a teenager! It's like my head hair, if I didn't have it cut and styled regularly I would actually resemble Hagrid not a good look for me

I'll vote for au natural but I don't get rid of my body hair because I feel it's disgusting. I just don't like it. I'm under no pressure from a partner but if I'm not trim and tidy I feel dirty sorry not sorry

you don't think it's 'disgusting' but it makes you feel 'dirty'?

Do what makes you happy, LucyBabs, of course you should.

It's this increasing pervasive message that women OUGHT to remove hair and are disgusting and unattractive if they don't that is so worrying, not women making their own choices.
Anything is fine - bush, trim, whatever - but it's for the pubic hair owner herself to decide, not society, fashion, a partner or Wilkinson bloody sword.

Yes it makes me feel unclean, I don't think pubic hair is unclean though iykwim?

I've never been told I should be hair free, it's just my personal preference.

Absolutely paranoid it shouldn't be about fashion or what a partner thinks. I'll encourage my dd to do what feels right for her when the time comes..

There was a thread on here a few years back where a woman posted about a painful (i think its called a Bartholins cyst) and her DH said it was because she didnt shave "down there"

A lot of us were disgusted that he was trying to manipulate his wife while she was in pain into shaving for his sexual preference.

68% this morning. Get your clippers off my bush.

This is fantastic! It's the first thing I looked at this morning
