To ask about pubic hair removal?

[cherrycola2004]

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

"I think you're right, maybe it is an age thing. Old people probably stop caring after a while! My husband would leave me if I grew a full bush! LoL"

I can't decide which bit of this post I find the most depressing. I think for my mental health I am going to assume that it's someone taking the piss.

Old people stop caring?!

I stopped removing pubic hair in my early 20s.

My husband has preferred women with pubic hair since he first saw naked women.

This is not about being old - it's about people who are coming of age now only being exposed to sanitised and altered images of women's bodies

I don't believe that menstruation is the reason that women en masse decided to start depilating their vulvas

Certainly not started to. Continued to absolutely.

Well said Tammy*

That doesn't explain why I "have a very unhealthy view of women's bodies"

david- but that same dirty menstrual blood has been sitting inside your body for a couple of hours in a tampon.
I for one don't smear menstrual blood all over my pubic hair.

How odd.

I DO find that gross

Just notice the language you use and examine where these feelings of disgust come from. It is an experiment we can never do but do you think a group of girls growing up on an island, going through puberty together and experiencing menstruation together would spontaneously start pointing the finger of disgust and disdain at each other and saying things like "Eeeugh look her over there she's got period on er full faaackin minge. How faaackin gross!!"

Having a strip isn't going to prevent blood from getting trapped there and I believe that most women aren't going fully hairless down there.

I assume most women have pubic hair, and that I'm very much in the minority by having everything off

I can only speak for my own experience, but I find that being hairless down there does stop any fluids down there getting trapped. Heavier miscarriage bleeding, light period bleeding, lubricating jelly for transvaginal ultrasound, semen- I don't feel sticky at all (vs before I started getting all the hair on my labia removed). Although that's obvs just my body, others will be different. I'm told by waxing therapists that I didn't have much hair to remove in the first place (I've no idea what other women's pubic hair is like to know whether what I had compared to the average!) , but even then I much prefer the feeling of having my undercarriage completely hairless. Hair on the mons obvs doesn't make any difference in this regard - at least, not for me, bodily fluids don't make it up that far!!

Purely personal preference - don't give a shit what anyone else does, just what I like better for my own body!

This has got to be one of the most depressing threads ever. Fucking hell when I was 15 (25 years ago) when I went swimming it was perfectly normal for women to have visible pubic hair. I have also always been happy to go without make up. The idea that having no pubic hair makes menstruation easier or more hygienic is frankly buzzard.

"Russell,your a woman...bloody hell,I've seen you post on loads of threads and always assumed ..man"

You are joking!

David’s view is very peculiar. So wiping blood with pubic hair present is not ok - but what about the skin that’s underneath? Or do you use a bidet after every lavatory visit? That would be logical, surely?

I always thought you were female Russell.

And not just identifying as female, either.

david- but that same dirty menstrual blood has been sitting inside your body for a couple of hours in a tampon

Haha oh to be able to have a tampon that lasts two hours

I for one don't smear menstrual blood all over my pubic hair

Well done. I'm not ashamed to admit that at times I have been sitting on a loo thinking "where the fuck do I sort first". Lack of hair on the labia has made enough of a difference to be worth it for me.

How odd.

Bizzare not buzzard obvs

I don't remove hair, I use pads rather than tampons, I have horrific periods and still manage to keep myself clean. In fact, when I was younger and removed much of my pubic hair, I'd get horrific chafing during my hideously long periods as there was nothing to prevent direct contact between my skin and the pad.

The idea that having no pubic hair makes menstruation easier

It doesn't catch the massive clots I lose for a start. That's a HELL of a lot easier for me

@Tammy and again that's just different bodies working different ways. The only chafing I ever get is from the now awful, much coarser hair rubbing my leg creases if it grows.

If I am lucky I can manage up to an hour away from the house wearing a couple of tampons and a pad

speak I no longer menstruate but when I did I used pads not tampons and I changed the pad at every loo visit.
Menstrual blood/anything that is on my pubes (if I had them) is not welcome.
Is that an "unhealthy view of women's bodies"? No, just my personal preference

I think that (naturally) blood and hair form a barrier to prevent infection during menstruation when the neck of the womb is open

Russell I very nearly made a rude comment ,as to why you were on a thread about women's bodies..so sorry,glad I didn't post that now..nice to know your one of us 😁

I have to say I don’t quite understand where you’re coming from jacques - having had v heavy clotting myself in the past pubic hair made no difference at all, clots way too big for mere hair to hang on to. But accepting it may be relevant for you in a way that’s unclear to me, surely you can see that your particular circumstances are, with respect, if minimal relevance to the general trend we are considering here.

Shifting away from hygiene to erotica - having one's pubic hair gently tugged and caressed is highly arousing . . .

No examination needed. I like to be clean. End of.
