To be unnerved by my bikini wax?

[Discogirl23]

Went for my bikini wax (it’s been a while) and was looking forward to being all trim and tidy. I go for hot wax and usually get a Brazilian. However the waxer was either so busy chatting or working on autopilot that she wheeched the lot off! I am rocking (depending on your take) the p*rn star or pre-pubescent look. I’m unnerved by this. As a grown woman I feel I should have some hair there. AIBU to be a bit weirded out or is this the norm these days??

Weird first post.

It’s the same as any service where you didn’t get what you asked for, isn’t it? It doesn’t matter what anyone else has.

I prefer to be hairless. FWIW I definitely don't look prepubescent and I am willing to bet you don't either.

Surely you saw where the wax and strips were going? Why didn't you say something?

Not sure this is a genuine post.

This.

There's no way this happened. Try again op

as I was lying down, no. She put the wax over the bit that normally remains and once she had done that there wasn’t really anything I could do.

No, you first start with your arse in the air & then move to the same position where you have a cervical smear.

You’d still feel hot wax going on the bit you don’t want waxed.

Yes possibly, but then they take the embarrassment out of it my constant chatting - so easy to be distracted by the chat - which, of course is the idea.

that sounds horrific! I'll stick with my full Jackson5 look 😁

Yes. The issue being that once it’s on, there’s only one way it’s coming off!

it’ll grow back. I’m just a bit weirded out about it.

You could get a merkin.

I take mine all off. I’ve had it lasered so there is very little growth now. At 58 I like neither like a porn star nor pre-pubescent 🙄

Tried it once. Also felt like it looked prepubescent and it freaked me out, @Icanttakethisanymore and @springbringshope you may be quite comfortable with it, that doesn't mean everyone else has to be. Experience of CSA might come in to it for me.

It’ll grow back

I'm not saying anyone has to be ok with anything, I am merely saying that removing my pubic hair does not make me look prepubescent. Im 40, 2 babies have come out of my vagina, I'm been torn and stitched up. My skin is that of a 40 year old, not a 10 year old and none of that changes just because I wax my pubic hair off.

Yeah I felt really weird when I’ve done this and my DH would freak the eff out.

Regardless of personal preference, you will not be the only woman like that.

That was very much your implication.

It really wasn’t.

I have been waxing my bikini line bare since I was a teen (now in my 40s) and have no intention of ever having hair there again - I prefer it!

I don’t get how a bare vulva makes me look like the 10 year old version of me though. Not remotely!

Actually no, during Covid I of course had my pubic hair grow back in where I learned that pubic hair goes grey. I should have remembered this from watching SATC but was shocked to see that for myself! 😂
