To ask about pubic hair removal?

I’m quite new here not sure where to post this so feel free to move the post.

I just wonder if you remove your pink hair how do you do it? Shaving is making me so sore and itchy, hair removal cream doesn’t seem to work too well, Home waxing kit was pointless and pretty much just took my skin off (ouch!)

Is a proper wax the only way?

Any tips or tricks?

Thank Smile

@MelodyvonPeterswald

Still choosing not to answer my question then, and answering only what suits your pathetic agenda. I asked about whether you ever wax or shave your legs or pits or tashe, or if you ever dye or colour your hair, or if you ever paint or file your nails, or pluck your eyebrows, or if you have ever worn figure flattering clothes to attract a man.

Not answering eh?

Probably because you HAVE done many of these things. And you know by admitting it, you will prove yourself to be a massive hypocrite who is full of shit.

And I agree with the posters who say a massive hairy muff is not attractive to most men. (Despite some women on here claiming different!) In addition, many women don't like a massive hairy bush on themselves - despite what some women on here are claiming.

The only men who are into it, are into it as a fetish. Some women are claiming that every man they have ever met loves a big hairy bush, yet every man I have met prefers it trimmed/shaved. Funny that isn't it? Wink

Also, as has been said, why do women who prefer to keep their minge hairy and bushy always attack women who prefer to shave it? What is your problem with it? Why so vitriolic and bitchy and rude? If you were so comfortable with your massive forest, you would not bash women who like a neatly trimmed minge.

Now I will ask AGAIN, MELODY, do you do anything that enhances your physical appearance? ANYthing?

Are you going to answer - ever? Or do you prefer to cherry-pick what you answer, when the questions don't suit your spiteful agenda? Hmm

As a number of posters have said, having it trimmed is waaaaay better; it looks better and more aesthetically pleasing, and it's much more hygienic - especially when it comes to periods. Being on your period when you have a hairy minge is fucking gross on so many levels. (And I am not attacking a woman's choice to keep her massive muff, because that is a FACT, that it's gross to have a huge hairy muff when you're on your period.)

Ffs, why can there never be a sensible discussion on this.

I remove them, my choice. I respect the choices of those who choose not to.

Iggi999 · 01/11/2017 18:33

User149 I'm more amazed that you find any men attracted to you, hair or no hair, when you are such an unpleasant individual.

@why can there not ever be a sensible discussion about this?

BECAUSE @titsbumfanny women who choose to have a massive hairy minge are incensed that other women don't think the same as them, and want a neat little minge.

They are accused of bowing to the patriarchy at best, and being weird and having a perverted husband who is attracted to children at worst.

They refuse point blank to accept that many women ENJOY having a neatly trimmed minge, and prefer how it looks and feels.

Receiving oral with a very neatly trimmed or shaven minge is lush! The sensations are way better than when my bush has gotten overgrown.

user1491678180 · 01/11/2017 18:39

Thanks for that @iggi

Personal attacks are not allowed on here you know HUN.

I don't see you attacking the people saying that men who like a trimmed minge are perverts who are attracted to little girls!

user, but to suggest that men who don't mind pubic hair The only men who are into it, are into it as a fetish.

That's simply not true.

My sexual partners are only too happy to be in that department. None have given a shit about pubic hair or lack of.
No fetish either way.

JacquesHammer · 01/11/2017 18:41

As an incidental for me, my skin much prefers shaven skin. I don't bother much with my legs but I get to the point where I HAVE to shave as my skin is so, so dry and uncomfortable and nothing helps. The regrowrth post loss is really uncomfortable for me. I wonder if that's a common thing?

Dear God, what a load of shite. These posters who proclaim this kind of bollocks are an utter joke. I've been removing my pubic hair for 20 years for my own personal reasons but this type of crap that people spout to try to convince everyone they're right is downright embarrassing ...

Remove your pubes. Don't remove your pubes. Who fucking cares, some of you really need to get over yourselves. Grin

user1491678180 · 01/11/2017 18:45

Plenty of women on here have said they DO struggle with periods with a hairy bush.

Bully for you if you don't!

No way in hell can anyone convince me that any woman looks better with a hairy minge than they do with it shaven!

No way.

I see Melody has still not answered me LOL. Speaks volumes that does! Hypocritical much?

JacquesHammer · 01/11/2017 18:46

@speakout I am sure you appreciate one woman's menstrual experience can differ dramatically from another's? Mine has differed dramatically throughout my life.

user1491678180 · 01/11/2017 18:47

@WhatahexIgotinto

Maybe you should try attacking the women slagging off women who shave their minge and who are being accused of having pedos for husbands! And leave me alone!

schoolgaterebel · 01/11/2017 18:47

Each to their own, I don't know why pubic hair (and it's removal) is such an emotive topic on MN.

Who cares how if you choose to de-hair your minge or not? It's nobody's business but yours.

I didn't find waxing painful

I looked forward to my monthly waxes because I'd feel so lovely and perfectly smooth afterwards

I love the feeling of freshly shaved legs getting into clean sheets

I love the feel of a perfectly undercarriage

Apparently the physical sensations I experience and which I get pleasure from are somehow abhorrent and if I want to fight against the patriarchy I should forego these sensations. God forbid a woman should do with her own body what feels good to her!!

IrritatedUser1960 · 01/11/2017 18:52

beard trimmer! Why did i never think of that? I am post menopausal but I like to keep it short.

MelodyvonPeterswald · 01/11/2017 18:52

I have no need to answer any personal questions you pose. If I did it would just feed the beast of collective (conditioned) disapproval."Eeuugh...can you believe it ? She doesn't do xyz societally conditioned compliant behaviour..Eeughh"

WhataHexIgotinto · 01/11/2017 18:54

Good lord User, I'm not 'attacking' anyone, that's a little over dramatic, as are some of your other comments. Saying that The only men who are into it, are into it as a fetish. as if it is an actual fact rather than just your opinion and referring on a massive hairy minge etc all sounds a bit much and rather infantile.

Anyway, you keep removing your pubes, as will I and other folks can make their own choices. I wouldn't dream of telling someone what they should do with their body.

HoofWankingSpangleCunt · 01/11/2017 18:56

The problem with boycotting areas of the beauty industry due to the involvement of men8 is that it is just not realistic. We need to be in touch with the younger women, not out of touch because we have years under our belt, as one pp commented. Unfortunately if the generation coming up is unwilling to listen to women who believe they know best as they are older and wiser then we are doing feminism a major disservice. I am not keen on the idea of losing a lot of potential feminists over an issue as banal as pubic hair.
And it is banal. I have limited time in which to be a feminist activist. I want to concentrate my efforts on calling out and bringing to justice men who assault and abuse women.
I have the bushiest bush, as I commented before. However, I will always defend the right of women to choose what to do with their bodies.
As i said before, the hair issue is a red herring. If a friend came to me to talj about how her partner is pressurising her to have a shaven haven, then tje problem is the man, not the hair. It is about control. The man who wishes ro control his partner's pubes is probably controlling in many and to get caught up in debates about pubes is counterproductive and alienating to a lot of women. As well as spectacularly missing the point.
Telling women that they shouldn't be doing something is shortsighted and arrogant.
The menz must be so relieved we are arguing about a few furry fannies insteaf of tak8ng to tje fucking street to demand an end to male violence.
Feminism needs to be relevant and supportive of the sisterhood, not castigating each other. It is distracting and destructive.
witch hope I just havent repeated myself. I felt compelled to post after reading yours 😀

HoofWankingSpangleCunt · 01/11/2017 18:58

Sorry for typos.

Goshthatwentwell · 01/11/2017 18:58

The problem is User that women start off looking a certain way ( naturally) and then we get told it's unhygienic, aesthetically unpleasant etc etc..
What's that video that shows you that literally no part of a women's body can look natural - every single feature from eyelashes to bump free elbows to toes can have some treatment.
This is why women kick off ( as someone who loves a Brazilian)

No way in hell can anyone convince me that any woman looks better with a hairy minge than they do with it shaven!

A few questions
Why do think anyone needs to convince you?
Who decides what makes (to use your delightful words) "any woman look better"?
Why does having a (again using your own delightful words) "hairy minge" impact on a woman's looks?
Why is something natural so abhorrent to you?
What might be causing you to hate your own natural state so much?
