To ask how you maintain your lady garden?

[BigBadWolves]

I've never had a wax down there ( I think I'd be totally mortified) but like to keep the undercarriage smooth. The flipping hair grows back so quickly though! Anyone have any tips for keeping things spick and span without a contorted shaving session every morning?

Thanks in advance

I shave under my arms when I remember, but I am more conscientious in summer in that department.
My legs are a doddle. The hair on my upper legs is fair, thank goodness. I just epilate my lower legs. I used to shave, but found the outgrowing hair far more noticeable. I also used to end up with a red dotty (I think inflamed hair follicles) rash, which didn't go away whatever. It was noticeable and not a good look. Now I epllate my skin it is smooth, no rash and any growth is smooth and I do it about once a fortnight.
As for my bush, I trim any long ones that may dangle out of my bikini, but I don't need to do more than that these days. I don't have hair growing outside of it's triangle. In my younger days I had a few coming down my legs, but that's gone. It's either that or my eyesight, lol. My husband really doesn't want me to look prepubescent either. He says he feels that would look and feel really weird and can't stand the thought of it.
But I accept I'm lucky in that I'm a lot less hairy than many of my friends who seem to be sprouting chin hair, etc. They have dark hair, whilst I'm blonde. I might rarely get the odd very fine, blonde hair so it doesn't show.
I'm also lucky that whilst I'm blonde, my eyebrows and eyelashes are naturally very dark. That used to make a lot of lads at school wonder what colour I was down below, but that was my business. Boys will be boys, after all!

This is it. I've tried the blue and the red one. I found the red one is way better although both are better than veet etc

How do you shave the bit in the middle where the outer labia meet and its like and n shape IYKWIM. Lots of hair there (its like the source!) but no way to sort of shave it due to the shape, plus it gets very very sore.

it takes care,stretching the skin with one hand wile shaving with the other .It takes practice but once you get the hang of it,its not sore .Make sure to use lots of soap

See I try and have for many years but I end up with sore skin there and it all cracks really dry and I have to put nappy cream on it. (Really itchy too).

I can't be arse at this point, lurking here for tips

Slightly reassured by this thread that complete removal is common. My dd prefers that and I have been really freaked out by that. Never have I had a problem being an older mum until this issue ( I am in my 50's)- it is something I have never done and it doesn't sit well with me.

However it seems fairly common in younger generation

Shaved it all off years ago, just takes a minute or so to go over it every other day.

I leave mine completely alone (apart from normal washing when I wash the rest of me) and it maintains itself just fine. It's there for a reason and some of the descriptions of how people shave/wax etc just sound really painful, time consuming and/or painful. I think it's problematic that so many women feel they have to take such steps (and increasingly men too by the sound of it).

Am allergic to everything . Wax, veet etc dont work for me and leave me sore and itchy, so its scissors and a razor when I can be arsed.

Me too. I shave underarm if my pits are going to be on show, my legs have never been hairy enough to need doing and my bush is just fine as it is.

I used to shave all the time. But now for some reason no matter what razor or shaving cream/gel I use I end up with a rash and have stubble the next day. Too wimpy for a wax and can't seem to find a removal cream that doesn't stink. I trim it at the mo. Single so nobody else sees it. But God knows what I'm gonna do to tidy it up properly if I find someone... Fills me with dread hahahaha

Shave it all every 2-3 days in the shower. Not difficult. Mid 40s BTW.

Interesting that no-one here has mentioned the Philips Lumea route (often crops up on Style & Beauty for leg, armpit hair removal). I've often wondered if this would give a more permanent solution.

Hi chemcat I've been blathering on about the lumea upthread. I'm not impressed to be fair. It's definitely reduced the hair load (?!) but I want to be BALD rather than PATCHY

Thanks Choco. Will save my money and stick to the razor. Too chicken to get a wax!

Notso you comment make me actually laugh out loud. The other patients in the dentist waiting room are looking at me funny!!

Laurey Williams, im not far off that either lol

Full shave off twice a week.
Can't be arsed with trying to 'shape' it.
Feel far cleaner with it all off.

I shave it completely every couple of days. I'm not a hairy person so it doesn't grow fast at all.

Lycon wax is the best. I wouldn't go somewhere that doesn't use lycon

Used to get lycon wax monthly (never ever let a stripy wax near your fanjo, hot wax only, lycon best). Everything off.

Years of waxing means very little grows now anyway (although the therapists told me I wasn't very hairy - I don't know what other women's pubes look like up close to have known whether I was or not)

Stopped getting wax as there wasn't really enough to remove to justify the expense and bother.

Got a lumea and the only bit of regrowth is around the inner labia where I don't really aim the laser at my most delicate parts. Do miss the smoothness of the waxing, as they really do get everything

Do wonder if it would ever grow back up top now - I assume if I left it long enough it might?

I shave daily
