Saw this advert in a Cosmopolitan magazine today at the hairdressers!

The V.I.Poo advert was on during Peppa Pig this morning. Led to some interesting conversation over our squash and hiccups.

I learnt the match trick from my MIL only interesting thing she's ever said and it really works.

If I wanted oily pants, I'd spend 35 quid on Alli...least I might lose some weight at the same time!

Surely the heading next to the photo is a typo?
It should be non-pussed.

Happy flush or poo pourri is cheaper via eBay than the VIP stuff Wink
I use it, I can't go away from home BlushBlush and it helps

@Ollivander84 do they actually work? I'm like you so might have to buy some!

Ollivander84 · 24/03/2017 09:05

Yes Smile

Does anyone refer to their pubes as 'fur' in real life? It sounds like something you put on your dog.

And like others, I thought I was the only one with 'furry' bits these days. Glad it's fashionable enough to have a fashion product aimed at it. But I won't be using it as I don't spend that much on facial moisturiser let alone pube moisturiser.

I watched a show about wigs once then they started talking about mirkins. "Fur oil" would be more appropriate for that than actual pubic hair.

AliceByTheMoon · 24/03/2017 20:08

So, anyway, on the strength of this thread I oiled my pubes using argan oil. It was greasy and uncomfortable. I had to get undressed again and shower using shampoo (rinse and repeat) on my pubes before looking rather askance at the oilslick on my knickers.

Not impressed to be honest.

I have just had an exploratory fumble and they DO feel silky shiny soft though.

The cookies on my computer are dodgy as fuck.

Still not over the whole necrophilia/ "shit blistering" and "munting" thread last weekend weekend tbh.

MusicToMyEars800 · 24/03/2017 20:53

oh this thread is killing me with laughter Grin oil for pubes... hilarious and what the blooping hell is a fanjo steamer?? clearly I've been living under a rock

VestalVirgin · 24/03/2017 21:07

Well, I would not make the effort as no one sees pubic hair anyway, but then, I would also never shave my pubic hair for much the same reason.

In my opinion, oil is more sensible than shaving - at least doesn't lead to ingrown hair or cuts, and the like.

So a good thing for those women who feel they have to do something with their pubic hair so it is hygienic.

I do use oil on my head hair when I remember to; it is good for shinyness and against split ends. Assumedly the same reason for pubic hair, though I supposed, getting it to grow longer without breaking isn't really a goal with pubic hair. Confused

Sylvannas · 24/03/2017 21:10

People still have pubes? I'd have to put beeswax on my lady garden.

35 quid is daylight robbery! Once the Kardashians start using it I'm sure sales will sky rocket.

ImNotWhoYouThinkIAmOhNo · 24/03/2017 21:25

Do people still have pubic hair?????

Yes. Evolution has not yet speeded up to the extent that it's extinct you know.

But nobody needs "fur oil" this is why I am not rich

BroomstickOfLove · 24/03/2017 21:35

I might pinch some of DP's beard oil to experiment with. I've just grown mine back, and it feels lovely, and a bit of oil might make it even lovelier.

HappyAxolotl · 24/03/2017 21:43

Giggling to discover I'm not the only one who puts a bit of conditioner on my bush! Hey, the hair sometimes gets dry and conditioner softens it up.

I'd imagine this oil is like using argan oil on your head, moisturising without looking or feeling greasy. Not that I would pay £35 for hair or pube products!

Also interesting to hear that there must be a market for this stuff so there must be a lot more than just me who don't go fully bald in the pants parts. I can't say I've ever discussed pubic topiary with anyone so I have no idea what the women I know do, but from what I've read online I thought those of us who just trim & tidy were a tiny minority.

Dear God. I've just Googled shit blister

SailAwaySailAwaySailAway · 24/03/2017 23:09

I sense a gap in the market for in-pant antimacassars as a pant liner's not going to be high enough. Antimacassar pins though. Ouch.

GrandMarmoset · 25/03/2017 00:42

Stop the world. I want to get off.

MarsInScorpio · 25/03/2017 07:05

also just because noone sees it!

Does anyone refer to their pubes as 'fur' in real life?

Unfortunately it was the first word that spring to mind when my toddler asked about my pubes.
Now he fairly reliably refers to my 'fur' when out and about, with a number of variations.

picklemepopcorn · 25/03/2017 07:43

Antimacassar pins. Grin

123MothergotafleA · 25/03/2017 07:50

A nice dollop of olive oil every morning keeps mine looking bushy and shiny.
Shame only I know about it though, I must consider opportunities for displaying it for all and sundry to marvel at.
