Weird pube question

If you have not very thick pubic hair, as in it’s patchy and fine, what do you do with it?

If I leave mine it just looks like I have some sort of horrible disease and if I lop it off I can cope with the itchy regrowth. Trying to shave it into a shape also looks fairly stupid!

Currently very pregnant so am having to use a mirror and it’s the first time I’ve really had a good look at what it all looks like and I’m not feeling terribly great about it!

Trim with electric razor, occasionally. No regrowth, no ingrown hairs. Zero pain.

Mine have always been like that, I think it looks nice actually & have received no complaints. I certainly don’t think it looks diseased! I have very little body hair in general, so it matches my arms and legs.

I epilate/wax the lot off.....couldn't tell you if it's patchy or not 🤣

Yeah, I'm the same.

I was born blonde (although my hair darkened to brunette with age), and I have very fair skin and very little body hair.

I'll occasionally run the electric trimmers over the side bits if I'm going swimming / feeling fancy, but that's about it.

Mine are the way nature intended. To paraphrase the league of gentlemen, I have a fanny like a bear trappers hat

I get waxed. Really hurts when you first start, now doesnt even register. I prefer it to other methods.

CornishPastyDownUnder · 07/08/2021 05:43

same with the shorty suits/rashies here in Oz..spend too much time early teens obsessing over errant pubes&non-existant cellulite..now i have it to worry about i dnt give a shitGrin..id do what d.d does and use a trimmer to get it really short but you'll avoid masochism of waxing&misery of itching&ingrown hairs.WIN!

I bought a home laser removal device.

I zap the area once a week for 6 weeks. Then it is totally hair free for months

I use it on my armpits and pubic area. Cost about £250 and well worth it.

IveGotASongThatllGetOnYNerves · 07/08/2021 06:23

I just leave it alone. I can't be be bothered faffing with it. Public hair doesn't grow like head hair. I won't end up with it peeping out from my trouser legs

IveGotASongThatllGetOnYNerves · 07/08/2021 06:24

Pubic. 🙄

TheGumption · 07/08/2021 06:33

I just leave it. Not into the prepubescent girl look.

Goatinthegarden · 07/08/2021 06:59

I use an IPL device on armpits, legs, pubic area, moustache, big toe, etc. It has been a game changer. I really hate having body hair, maybe I’m influenced by the patriarchy, but I also keep the hair on my head short for the same reason and the patriarchy definitely isn’t in to that.

DH trims armpits and pubes to keep them under control too. He doesn’t remove them completely but keeps them short and neat - particularly when it’s hot weather.

@JinglingHellsBells "Ye Gods who has the time or inclination to exfoliate their pubic area"

Just part of my regular monthly visit to my beautician. Start with full wax and then get the nicer stuff done. Doesn't hurt now..not sure if just used to it but she says it is more comfortable having done after the first few.

Couldn't be doing with patchy pubes...DH would wonder what was going on if I had pubes after several years without. Who can be bothered? Well from my friendship circle and some wine fuelled nights I would say the vast majority

[quote toocold54]@WiddlinDiddlin I would like to get waxed as it seems so much easier but I have never been brave enough!! I don’t get embarrassed going to smears or anything though.

What actually happens when you go to get a wax? Do you wear underwear?[/quote]
I’ve only been twice. But ive removed my underwear entirely. They gave me a choice if I wanted to keep it on and move it side to side as needed but just seemed pointless? They do the waxing of the front and undercarriage, then if you’re having a hollywood they normally ask if you want your bum doing. The first person asked me to go on all fours for this Grin, the second one made me lie on my side and hold my bum cheek out the way for each side. You will be fine if you don’t get embarrassed by smears, I’m the same.

DinosaurDiana · 07/08/2021 07:57

I have a trimmer and do a number 2 all over. Can’t say I take much notice of mine !

Rainbowx · 07/08/2021 22:29

I use woo woo intimate hair remover designed for that area works wonders
