70s bush envy

[Sparklybutold]

Is it just me or does anyone else have bush envy? Yes I mean pubic hair bush. I swear I have alopecia down there. I would love a big soft bush. Apparently you can get a bush wig which I'd seriously consider.

(Dear Aston University - stick that in your pipe)

Yes- I didn’t say otherwise. Was just pointing out that some of the examples @Verv gave as being social conformity really aren’t.

Quite! I don’t understand the need to have a bald pubis, pubic hair serves a purpose. Stop yanking it out!

Apparently so. Not something I've ever done or considered but I recall media coverage of this from a few years ago. Possibly more of an American thing as I don't remember anyone talking about it in UK or my home country.

That’s been around for a while. (Almost certainly influenced by porn). Personally I’m not interested in looking at anyone’s ringpiece, even if am sleeping with them. And if I was interested in anuses, I’d probably expect them to present in a range of colours, just like other areas of skin.

Have a big bush and proud!

Wtf are you on about?

Disabled lesbians exist, and some of us use wheelchairs.

As I said, feel free to check it out with mumsnet- I’ve been on here 15 odd years. Or perhaps you would like a picture of me in my wheelchair? A copy of my marriage certificate? My latest PIP award letter?! 🤦‍♀️

Im not exploiting any low paid deliveroo drivers by removing the hair from my labia.

Nope - going down on a woman is great regardless of her approach to pruning. Hair really doesn't get in the way, I promise! As long as it's clean it's no different either way.

An astounding amount of ‘you should leave it in place’ and ‘it should be removed’,
all you ‘should’ do is appreciate that you can do what you like and other people can too. No one needs to see any one else’s pubic area to be offended by their choices. Have an opinion and an interesting discussion but don’t judge people for their choice either way and everyone would get on a lot better 🤷🏼‍♀️

Indeed.

No one needs to see any one else’s pubic area to be offended by their choices.

Keep your nose out of other people’s crotches and whether they are hairy or not need never be an issue for you.

Every time I've tried to remove any pubic hair I'm in mortal agony. I do trim but removing it is so not on I think personally. I'm not even sure why I tried to, peer pressure? Find it a bit creepy tbh if guys like it hairless.. my partner thinks I was mad when I tried to remove it lol..
Considering (depends on your age here lol, I'm 50) we spent so long waiting and watching for our first pube so we could be grown up, to then shave them off to look like a wee girl is kinda mad and disturbing when you think about it!
P.S I've also seen female pals while getting changed with no pubes and it gives me the boke! Ok, I'm a straight woman and shouldn't find either way fanciable lol but it's just off

i don’t shave my legs so I think you’d probably feel much better if you stuck two fingers up at those who would say that you’re grim and did what was most comfortable for you.

Many women have long nails, so I don’t think practicality dictates that they need to be short.

And yes, teeth with cavities can be very painful, and become infected, and kill us without treatment - which it does in many parts of the world where people are impoverished enough to genuinely be this “all natural” that we’re advised to aspire to in the first world. 😉

I feel like if I leave the hair there it gets matted/pulls a lot plus when I trim (using shaver) I always cut myself.
So Hollywood wax every 6 weeks for me, also have my eyebrows and upper lip done. Everything else gets shaven!

That's so highly subjective. Either is fine, in my book, for others. I don't shave. I did, back before waxing was a thing, and got THREE ingrown hairs. HORRIBLE, and never again. Now, I've known a man or two who said, "I won't do this, that or the other if you don't get rid of the hair." My response was, "I won't do this, that or the other, or the main event, for that matter, if you force this issue." The hair remained, and this, that and the other were done.

…unless something has gone horribly wrong …

When I was pregnant with DS mine grew really long. I just left it to see how long it would go. I did consider arranging it in an attractive plait. When the midwife examined me during labour she said “ooh it feels like the baby’s got some hair”. Nope, totally bald! That wasn’t the baby’s hair she’d got hold of 😂

When I was pregnant with DD this didn’t happen at all. I read afterwards it’s something to do with make hormones apparently.

Some women do seem to manage perfectly well with long nails but I don’t think it could be argued that they are as practical or hygienic as short nails. Sometimes my MIL has to be assisted with tasks involving fine motor skills due to her very long nails.

And yes, infections in tooth cavities could lead to death. Untrimmed bushes, not so much 😂

i don’t shave my legs so I think you’d probably feel much better if you stuck two fingers up at those who would say that you’re grim and did what was most comfortable for you.

It would be good to be that person but I’m just not, and never will be that person. I don’t want people to think I’m grim. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Aww thank you @SocksAmnesia 💐

What started off as an interesting & amusing thread has deteriorated into a bitch-fest.

And all over...hair

I love a bit of Gorilla Salad whilst dining out.

yanbu for wanting what you want but I’d rather not

I've said this before on here. I had to have an emergency op to remove an ulcerated cyst. Whilst there the consultant said they had seen a real increase in women having ulcers drsined from the pubic region due to the current trend for waxing and shaving. Got chatting to the lady in the next bed and lo and behold she was having exactly that issue. In grown hair can turn very very nasty

My ex boyfriend liked my bush. I find it strange that some ladies shave it off.

You are the creep here and a bit lacking in any sort of critical thinking. A female adult woman, hairless or not, will never look like a 'wee girl', whatever she does.

Please stop with your stupidity and judgement of your pals and other women based on their pubic hair or lack thereof.

I wish the bush was back in fashion! I prefer the feeling of hair free but hate the effort and sometimes pain of maintaining it. I don't really know as I'm older, but I'm sure that men in their 20s and 30s might never even have seen one in real life!? Such a shame. I want a heart shaped one dyed pink. Lol.
