Only if you believe all the shite rammed down our throats by advertisements...

Seriously, life isn't on hold because I have slight regrowth, piss off Braun.

Aibu to look after the kids, work and probably be outside in broad daylight without being perfectly epilated tomorrow?

Absolutely not 😲 You should immediately find a cave to dwell in far from civilisation until the stubble has been banished.
The very thought of it!

Badweekjustgotworse · 02/07/2017 22:37

I might sit in said cave and plait my pubes for entertainment

If that ad is true, my life has been "on hold" for about fifteen of the past twenty years. Just standing paralysed, rendered catatonic by my own leg hairs.

What a load of bollocks. Even DH laughed at this one.

Badweekjustgotworse · 02/07/2017 22:47

domestic my sympathies rendered catatonic by leg hairs... maybe you should see the gp? Or call 101?

Totally. Like when I can't go rollerblading in my white jeans because of my period.
Bell ends.

Life clearly incompatible with being a female mammal.

MsSusanStoHelit · 02/07/2017 23:13

It made me want to hurl at the telly. I've never heard such bollocks in my life.

Moanyoldcow · 02/07/2017 23:14

I have literally not shaved my legs or done any kind of muffery since around February (remember because we went out for DH birthday).

I've managed to go to work and everything.

Badweekjustgotworse · 02/07/2017 23:15

I'll send up smoke signals from the bat(ty) cave for all those unshaven.

Rules to agree to before admission

  1. No hirsute shaming
  2. No fucking scented sanitary products to cross the threshold

Feel free to add to the list, all rules considered

I heard an ad yesterday suggesting that all women need individually sized sanitary pads. Grrr.

notanevilstepmother · 02/07/2017 23:34

Scented sanitary product!!!! What the......

Like I want perfume on my sensitive bits.

Cave life for me.

Why the 'grr' over that Confused

Allabitmuchisntit · 02/07/2017 23:36

Or when you have an unexpected gentleman caller and you haven't sprayed your roots coming through.

The shame.

Badweekjustgotworse · 02/07/2017 23:41

allabit I think you've just levelled up, leg hair roots??? Not that IS hard core Grin

Moanyoldcow · 02/07/2017 23:44

Thanks badweek!

I'm newly pregnant too so there'll be a further 8 months of untouched growth by Feb.

Luck midwives Grin

ClopySow · 02/07/2017 23:45

I have a 4 day leg hair regrowth. I can't move. I am paralysed by my stubble.

Allabitmuchisntit · 02/07/2017 23:48

You mean not everyone sprays their leg hair?! Grin

Allabitmuchisntit · 02/07/2017 23:50

Putting knickers on is getting impossible.
I keep shredding them on my horrific stubble.

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 02/07/2017 23:51

The one for the "intimate shaver " where two girls have a pillow fight and then one holds a shaver in the general vicinity of her hoof because god forbid they even suggest a woman has hair- that one gets on my last tit m I get completely irrational.

Or those ones for incontinence knickers , whee the woman is saying " I sneeze, I piss myself, but you can't tell!". Surely we should be recommending a doctor? Why do women have to suffer with incontinence? Where are the men's ads for incontinence pants. I know the exist , I see them in the shop but yet no ad with a man in the pub coughing sharply and then looking coyly at his friends saying "oops!"?

notanevilstepmother · 02/07/2017 23:51

It's just one more thing made up to sell expensive pads. It made it sound like made to measure.

Badweekjustgotworse · 02/07/2017 23:58

I'm every advertisers nightmare. Can't be arsed shaving unless the hair that pokes out from under my jeans starts to curl up round the hem and only use a mooncup so ta fuck with pads scented or not.

Allabit, you need to stop buying those delicate lacy numbers and start investing in some 'proper' knickers. And all those no VPL waifery ones are bollocks, if you buy proper knickers the knocker line matches the waistband on your utility trousers and cups under your butt cheek anyway Wink
