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

@Onsiesarethenewblack

Op, if you are genuine, be aware that 'female' tends to be a word used by men on the internet who don't tend to get near women often enough to know we're not a scientific sub species.
Yes I know, I used the wrong title and wrote the post badly, I was a bit over confident that as so many subjects get talked about on here, and some parts I have seen particular words about etc, I thought nothing would shock, but I got that very wrong!

Poor OP.

I have to say that to me too your OP read like an elderly gentleman's attempt to get women to chat about their privates.

Hard to pin point why. Yes - the word female is not often used by females but moreover it just like someone trying to talk casually about a body part they them self don't have Grin

So for what it's worth - personally i just use a normal women's razor (venus ect) every time i shower; before rinsing off the shower gel i whip over my pits and bits with razor. Takes about 20 seconds max.

Gorilla glue and a side parting looks great at zoom meetings.

Hazelnutlatteplease · 15/02/2021 22:31

I've always used a razor. Nowadays I even use an old fashioned safety razor. Never had a trouble with rashes.

The replies on this have cheered me up after a rubbish day, thanks for the laughs. Grin

If you’ve got sensitive skin then just leave it alone
And use sensitive body wash etc

Now I’m an old lady I’m basically bald anyway, so a quick bit of shower shine and a shami leather works wonders

I just do a nice french plait if it is looking a little unruly. I used to like cornrows but I worry about being accused of cultural appropriation.

Littlesilverbird · 15/02/2021 22:42

I get the ole' hedgetrimmer on it

CharlotteRose90 · 15/02/2021 22:42

Have you considered duct tape? Press down firmly, grit teeth, and go for it.

I was meh clicking on this thread but how I have laughed

There's a difference between a post naturally evolving into a slightly different topic and one that starts out asking for quite intimate details.

Water is absolutely fine and all you need for washing. if you don't believe me.

JocastaElastic · 16/02/2021 02:39

I add tiny little foil wrapped Easter eggs and a toy chicken.

A liberal application of Deep Heat ( the cream not the spray ) has the lot including the skin peeling off and stops you feeling the chill.

@FangsForTheMemory

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.
Ooh good call. At a pinch you can hang them in the window for the NHS and totally virtue signal your neighbours Wink

This post reads like a 15 year old perv had nothing better to do.

vampirethriller · 16/02/2021 07:52

I've given mine a Jack Sparrow bead and eyeliner type affair. In a certain light the effect is startling.

Okay, I should have just said what do you use a razor blah de blah, my god I can't believe how many people are going on about this post!

You asked why it was getting a dodgy reception. I answered. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 16/02/2021 12:34

I agree with QuestionableMouse.

There are some threads started where something is 'off and therefore I would never, never share anything personal. Especially during school holidays.

This is such a thread
