I am NOT a Hairy Mary. In fact, blessed with a very neat Bikini area which I also had lasered to keep it extra tidy. Problem is, pubes that remain always end up sticking out the sides of swimwear. I have no intention of doing the whole pre-pubescent total wax business but just want to know how on earth do other women avoid this problem? I tried trimming with scissors one year and the scratchiness was UNBEARABLE. Ideas?

Pre-pubescent, OP? What a delight you are.

Tippexy · 21/07/2019 21:53

Just leave it. It’s not your fault that swimsuits are cut so highly. And it’s just normal anatomy!

neveradullmoment99 · 21/07/2019 21:54

I shave the sides and tend not to look down there when on the beach or at the pool so if somethings peaking well to bad!!!

Get a swimming costume with the bottom bit a bit like shorts, no more worrying about rampant escaping pubes 😆 works for me

I suggested plaits with beads to match the swimwear yesterday on a similar thread....

I have the same problem and now wear swim shorts with a tankini top. Still have a few stray ones but manageable! I thought they would have gone grey by now and less noticeable but sadly not.

Iamnotagoddess · 21/07/2019 22:08

I have it all waxed off 🤷‍♀️

cocomelon23 · 21/07/2019 22:10

All mine is waxed off too.

TwistyTop · 21/07/2019 22:13

Come on, you know the answer to this, surely? Remove more of the hair or wear a less revealing bikini bottom. This is obvious.

I cut mine with a curved nail scissors (top of curve punted towards me) so it doesn't create blunt scratchy end. Tbh though, people shouldn't really be looking so hard at your crotch area.

BigApple11 · 21/07/2019 22:15
Hmm
Jayaywhynot · 21/07/2019 22:17

Shave then apply nappy rash cream, sorted!

suzy2b · 21/07/2019 22:19

Never knew it was a problem, never did anything to mine nothing was ever showing

strawberrypenguin · 21/07/2019 22:20

I have 'boy shorts' swimsuit so I don't have to worry about high shaving. I want to swim not worry about if bits are escaping!

Pinkarsedfly · 21/07/2019 22:20

Tuck it in your socks.

skybluee · 21/07/2019 22:21

i dont understand how trimming it with scissors makes it scratchy?

buy some different scissors and try those... it shouldn't be scratchy when it's just trimmed like that.

SarahAndQuack · 21/07/2019 22:22

I'm with the Hmm faces.

Sort it (the obvious ways).

Or don't sort it (because you are an adult and literally no one gives a tiny flying fuck, or is looking that closely at your crotch).

DappledThings · 21/07/2019 22:22

I don't think about it. Life's too short.

Jojobears · 21/07/2019 22:22

Veet or Nair

powershowerforanhour · 21/07/2019 22:24

Is this your swimsuit?

Mokepon · 21/07/2019 22:25

And do you sit like that by the pool?Grin

elQuintoConyo · 21/07/2019 22:26

I just leave it hanging out for Judgemental Judys to have a field day with. Sometimes I put wax in it to make it more Daliesque.
