Hi, I have read quite a few posts that related to things I want to ask so don't think it will cause too much offence, I hope not anyway.

How if at all, do you keep pubic hair in check, I know some are all or nothing, so wax etc, I had, well it's old now do getting rid, like a lady shave that came with a bikini trimming head/detachable guard, without guard nicks and cuts, not a good idea at all! With guard on, crap!

I want to find a effective way of removing hair on the inside groin area if that makes sense, and something to at least trim pubic hair.
There had been a very long and quite funny post on washing, and some saying that soap, fem fresh etc were all no goes, and I agree but still feel like water is not enough. But if I do use anything it doesn't feel great afterwards so not sure what to do!

Any tips or advice would be wonderful

@Redruby2020 Jog on eh? Wink

Redruby2020 · 14/02/2021 19:17

I didn't realise that there would be such replies! I have read a lot worse! How many posts have there been on washing, and shaving and waxing and all the rest, how could I have phrased it better then?!

@BendyLikeBeckham

Haha, I love you vipers! Spot a chancing perv from 200 paces! Grin

OP, there are sites for this sort of thing. Not MN.

What kind of sites? There was a post on here not long ago that was talking about using no soap 😳

Tbh OP I don't know how ppl are able to 'spot' a perv, but I do find your post odd, you start off talking about grooming tips but next minute your on about what you think about washing? Seems like 2 topics smushed together with no flow. Hmm. Is that how you spot a perv? 🧐

As for washing, I thought everyone was bleaching everything nowadays.

If unsure,just leave it outside for 72 hours.

Brian!!! Hello!!! We’ve missed you!!!

I use the curly girl method.

FangsForTheMemory · 14/02/2021 21:03

I've macramed my pubes and added a few little rainbow-maker beads for good measure. Now all I need is some sun for actual rainbows.

All together now Mumsnet: THIS IS THE WAY.

A cheap disposable lighter from the poundshop. Six for a pound, sorted.

You do need to make sure to be stocked up on germolene 2in1 antiseptic/anaesthetic cream but and luckily the poundshop sells that too.

Unfortunately, it does tend to smell like somebody barbecued the cat but at least it's quick.

SpudsandGravy · 14/02/2021 21:24

Not sure why so many people seem to think this is a weird question...? Compared to many on here it seems entirely pedestrian!

OP, I use Immac (or whatever it's currently called) to get rid of hair beyond the point at which I feel my pubes should extend. I actually just smear it on thick with my hand (and then thoroughly wash my hand) to make sure to cover all of it thoroughly.

Re: pubes themselves I trim them, when I get round to it with scissors. Actually I bought hair clippers during first lockdown to give myself a haircut and I tried those out too, as there didn't seem to be much else going on :-) It worked well for me.

Oysterbabe · 14/02/2021 21:26

I just do the edges with a weed whacker.

PlanDeRaccordement · 14/02/2021 21:28

I just pop my merkin in the washer on a hand was cycle. Comes out fresh as a daisy.

FormerlyHairyMinge · 14/02/2021 21:30

I used to go out with The Red Baron - when we got down to it he doused my fanny in brandy and set fire to it, before sticking his head down there. His reasons - "when I go down, I go down in flames"

CandyLeBonBon · 14/02/2021 22:03

Oh bless your faux-innocent fanny op!

ViciousJackdaw · 14/02/2021 22:16

Zoflora? OMG darling, that's sooo pre-pandemic. Fabulosa is where it's at these days.

I have a lot of shit going on right now - and the responses here have properly made my day.... no, in fact my week!
Special mentions for 'glittery surprise' and 'merkin'.
Comedy gold. 🤣

Porridgeoat · 14/02/2021 22:52

I recline on a glass table, legs akimbo and work up a frothy lather of Heinz baked beans in all my intimate areas before DH very thoroughly shaves me with a vegetable peeler.
