Hairless foofs

So can't sleep and watching naked attraction (please do judge me, I deserve it)
Are completely bare foofs a thing now? Having had a nasty experience of an ingrown hair from shaving bikini line (which required anti-biotics) why go through that? Nevermind the faff. Who want's an evening shadow on their lady bits?
All for a bit of pruning, but uprooting?

I had a landing strip for about 10 years, then about 5 years ago decided to regrow a triangle - nowhere near a 70s porno, a good razor-width from the thighs.

Drives the boys wild cos of novelty value (OK, 3 boys who presumably liked me anyway). Have actually had requests to grow it more - but it's not for anyone else, it's for me.

As for the comments about hair affecting the clitoris - just where and how thick does your hair grow???? If mine did grow over it, I might think of removing it, but ????

Hot wax is the way forward I have a Hollywood with hot wax and it doesn't hurt... I am the biggest wimp ever and I discovered hot wax aged 41 #bestthingever

What a sad, weird world we live in where porn is the norm and people shave their bits to look like porn stars.

dorisdog · 07/07/2018 19:47

Shave or not shave. I've gone through phrases of both. However I'm also pretty lazy and can't be bothered to spend the time on it.
It's a useful barometer for relationships, I always found - if a man ever expected that I should shave my genitals I knew to get the fuck away.

I can't actually believe I've been following a thread all day.... about fucking pubes!!

What is my life!

Mummyof0ne · 07/07/2018 21:37

Can you have a bikini wax whilst pregnant, and are you meant to trim the hair before you have one?

gillybeanz · 07/07/2018 21:45

I don't do mine apart from keep it trimmed so it's not a jungle down there Grin
then just do bikini line if wearing a swimsuit or bikini.

My dd won't do it either and reckons men are pervs if they ask you to do it. Think this may come from dh as he hates the porn shaved pre pubescent minge as he says Grin

I'm glad she's not following the crowd and knows that she is better than doing this for a man in the future.

I'm very proud of her, she's only 14. I think she likes her pubes as she has grown up, maybe wants to hold onto them Grin

bakedlikeabun · 07/07/2018 22:01

I have never asked dh what he prefers re hair. Is that unusual?
He has never asked me about his hair, so why should I?

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 07/07/2018 22:06

So we're now getting husband's views on what a woman does with her body? Well, I guess they're just as entitled to since so many women feel they have the right to tell other women how it should be.

All I hear from most of the hair-keepers is "You're doing it wrong for BUT... each to their own" for fear of getting pulled up at thinking they're entitled to a view on what another woman does.

This thread has been great, it's really cemented for me the importance of taking no notice of random men - or women on a chatboard who try to make it their business. It is not your business.

See you on the next pointless hairy thread... Wink

What an odd thing for your husband to be discussing with your 14 year old daughter.

gillybeanz · 07/07/2018 23:19

Not at all, we talk openly about anything.
She talks to him about periods, boys at school, conversations with friends.
Not saying she tells us everything, but there's not a subject she feels awkward about talking to us about.
I think it's sad that you'd find that weird. talking openly will probably mean she knows a good man when she finds one at a much older age, maybe 35 Grin

Birdsgottafly · 07/07/2018 23:25

gillybeanz, so because your DD sees her Dad's sexual preferences as normal, she wants to do what he prefers?

Girls often idolize their Fathers, it shouldn't influence their sex life, though.

Although once she grows up, she'll hopefully appreciate that she needs to make her own choices.

spugzbunny · 07/07/2018 23:29

I farted mid way through a foof wax once. Never had it done since! Blush

gillybeanz · 07/07/2018 23:29

She makes her own choices now, it's not just her dad she speaks to, it's me too, of course.
She will make her own mind up, but she will be able to make informed choices. We are on holiday next week and she has made her own mind up what to do, that's how the conversation came about.
We don't just randomly talk to our daughter about pubes Grin

NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking · 07/07/2018 23:30

Discussing your preference of pubic hair with your dad and having him influence his daughter with his own personal preference is pretty weird... 😬

gillybeanz · 07/07/2018 23:34

How is he influencing her, is he supposed to ignore her questions, am I.
Wtf do you think happens with girls who don't have a mum, I know a sp dad who has to talk about these things with his daughter too.
I think it's weird that parents don't want to talk to their children. I bet their are many women on here who would have loved some guidance to see the twats, rather than ending up on relationship threads.
If she wants to shave her foof, it will because she wants to and not because she thinks she has to, or because a man has asked her to.

gillybeanz · 07/07/2018 23:36

I'm pretty sure the conversation ended there, it didn't wander into anything untoward.

NotAsGreenAsCabbageLooking · 07/07/2018 23:40

Your post says how he has influenced her... her choice of genital grooming had probably come about because of her dads opinions on it..

I talk to my kids a lot, but I think that is over stepping the mark.

gillybeanz · 07/07/2018 23:51

Yes, I did say that, but who influences their children for life, she has a mind of her own and will make her own decisions.
Of course you are influenced as a child.
If she felt uncomfortable about talking about it she wouldn't have asked, brought up the subject.
Why should a man have to say go and talk to your mum about that.
I had just as many conversations with our ds about similar things, you'd think weird, but they've turned out to be normal adults, with normal thoughts. Even when due to be a dad himself ds1 is still very open with us, I'd much rather it be like this.

Birdsgottafly · 07/07/2018 23:52

Mummyof0ne, it depends on your pain threshold, it lowers when pregnant. Also how sensitive your skin has gone.

Beauticians also will use hair removing cream, for people who can't reach, for any reasons.

Albertschair · 07/07/2018 23:53

Read this title as hairless foods. Struggled to think of any hairy foods. Then thought kiwi. Then read again.

As you were

TornFromTheInside · 08/07/2018 00:02

If more men spoke up about how many of us don't care, more young girls might feel less pressurised.
Of course it is personal choice, but a lot of young girls are influenced by what they think boys want, or what other girls say boys want.

woolythoughts · 08/07/2018 00:06

Haven’t rtf but ...... think of those of us who can’t be waxed

Eyebrows - end up looking like I’ve gone ten rounds with mike Tyson (showing my age)

Legs - did it once - ended up on antibiotics for six months because of an infected allergic reaction

A waxed managed to convince me it must have been done wrong so I went for a bikini line - industrial strength antibiotics required

So I can shave or use cream

End results I do my pits because I don’t like them / everything else I’m as Nature intended

Singlenotsingle · 08/07/2018 00:08

I was told the hairs are there for a reason ie to protect the vulnerable inside bits from stray germs and infection. Otherwise, they're completely exposed.

FurryDice · 08/07/2018 06:36

Nobody seems to care on here about any kind of protection or otherwise. It’s all about the aesthetic.

Most depressing.
