To feel like the only woman left who doesn't shave her pubes? 😂

During a group WhatsApp with friends last night, conversation (somehow!) turned to pubes. It would seem I am the only one who doesn't shave the whole lot off. I've done it a couple of times in the past but it itched when growing back and I actually feel sexier with a bit of a muff! Does anyone else not shave these days or am I a vile ogre?

Why does anyone care what anyone else’s fanny looks like.

Shave if it makes you happy, let it grow down to your knees if that’s what you like. Its everyone’s own choice what they do with their vag.

I shaved it once and hated it, but I thought oh well, at least DH might be impressed.
He didn't notice.

My lover would leave me if I did. You are not alone. Hairy me.

CD41 · 05/05/2020 15:54

I don’t. I trim but don’t shave. I did when I was younger but I always hated it. Never very smoothie even after shaving, itchy when starting to grow - f**k that. I just trim now.

I've never touched mine. It's a bit 70s round there.

Post-menopause here, bush is naturally a lot less dense than it was, it's perfect actually, so no more waxing for me. I quite liked the full Hollywood waxing in a way but my fairly new DP likes me natural. As that means he is happy to spend even more time with his face in my fanny, I'm not going to object! Cheaper too Grin

MagnoliaJustice · 05/05/2020 15:57

I am petite and there’s a 15-year age gap between me and DP - he’s jokingly said before it’s like being with a child

Ugh. Your DP actually said that?

MaMaLa321 · 05/05/2020 15:58

I never have - why would a woman want to have the genitalia of a pre-pubescent girl? And I'd be very suspicious of any partner who wanted me to (for the same reason)
Anyway, it mostly disappears when you get beyond the menopause (in my experience, anyway.

I am a big fan of my baby liss intimate clippers. I do a grade 1 all over and I love it Smile

Hmm
TheChampagneGalop · 05/05/2020 16:01

Genuinely, who gives a shiny shite?
Me, when I'm dating. I'm into women, and I like hair.
But otherwise, who cares? I just think it's sad if any woman feels pressured to shave because of standards set by porn.

huntinthehornybacktoad · 05/05/2020 16:02

i mean

"let it grow down to your knees if that’s what you like."

:) :) :) ROFL

Chiyo666 · 05/05/2020 16:02

Completely hairless from the eyebrows down!

TheChampagneGalop · 05/05/2020 16:06

No eyelashes Chiyo? never heard of people plucking those before!

fascinated · 05/05/2020 16:08

I have never ever discussed pubes with anyone and would be horrified if anyone ever mentioned it to me. Is this normal? I’m baffled.

Chiyo666 · 05/05/2020 16:10

Oh yeah I forgot about eyelashes Smile

I’m baffled that friend DONT talk about these things. My friends and I talk about EVERYTHING.

Igotthemheavyboobs · 05/05/2020 16:10

I like getting a full wax (I actually love the feel of the hair being removed. I love epilating and threading too) but only get one maybe once a year. I like having a full bush and if dp cared, he wouldn't be my dp.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 05/05/2020 16:11

You're not the only one. I can't imagine why anyone would want to shave or wax their pubic area - or why anyone would want to have sex with someone who shaved or waxed their pubic area.

A bit of a tidy up - fine. Bald - no.

Snufkins · 05/05/2020 16:11

About my earlier post - it was a joke and I did find it funny at the time it’s not offensive to me. It is not his preference at all, I’d be more concerned about a man who only liked the bald look!
And for what it’s worth the women I work with have had lunch time discussions about shaving nether regions (nothing is off limits!) and a few made the same comment!

TheSmallAssassin · 05/05/2020 16:12

I love my bush, but I don't get why people get so worked up about what other people do. What is most important to me is that women are free to do what they want with their own body hair without interference from their partners, other women or anyone else! It's not shameful/dirty/weird to shave it off, to grow it wild or anything in between.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 05/05/2020 16:13

I may regret asking this but what is the connection between a shaved muff and pringles?

StompingHoof · 05/05/2020 16:15

Nope, never done it.

beachbreeze · 05/05/2020 16:16

The whole lot? No. I neaten things up and shave the sides as pubes spread down my thighs otherwise. I don't like the bald look at all, makes my hips look wide and I'm very slim

Does he never go down there???
