Someone in the gym was sorting out a pubic shaving cut at the communal sink.

[dontignorejesus]

I was using the swimsuit spinner and glanced over to see someone trying to stop bleeding from a razor cut on their bikini line.
I’m not sure if she was actually shaving at the communal sink but I was still a bit surprised by what she was doing.
To add awkwardness to the interaction, she’s my neighbour!
It was all quite weird…

You’d be shaving at a communal sink at the gym? Really? I certainly wouldn’t

Why does mumsnet need to know this? Seems to be looking for a clutching of pearls gossip about someone more than anything else 🙄🥱

Just a discussion topic like 100% of the rest of Mumsnet

I'd probably be unbothered by it tbh. I'm imagining it and just can't find it in me to get steamed up.

Don't really see the issue with this at all. If it was painful and she needed a sink, then it's reasonable. Hope she managed to get it sorted.

To add, you'll likely get some along soon enough, disgusted and outraged.
I'm pretty slack and don't care about these things.

Think same. Shaving nicks just do not stop bleeding for ages. Sink is the best place to be.

Lots of people are a bit gross. It’s yuck isn’t it.

If you were staring closely enough to tell that it was a razor cut, I doubt that you would have missed the razor in her hand.

It's the thought of the dead pubes that bother me more than the blood, worryingly 😂
It's a bit rank, tbh.
Same as those weairdo men who try and shave in a shared steam room 🤑
I had a colleague years ago who shaved her pits/bits in the toilets at work and couldn't be bothered to remove her efforts properly, I still shudder at the memory.
I have never had to have an emergency shave in a shared are.
Who are you people?

No poisonous look. Just a short chat.

It's a neighbour, I can understand why you feel embarrassed.

I’d have thought ffs, spun my cozzie and left 🤷‍♀️

I saw some girls at the gym chatting with the shower doors open, shaving their bits whilst doing so. Some people really need to learn privacy and that there’s a time and a place for certain things.

Wouldn't bother me

Gross. Some people are just exhibitionists. Why couldn’t she just go into a toilet cubicle and sort it out?

If it’s David Lloyd the showers are rank. The sides don’t touch the floor and the water flows across several cubicles. So if someone is shaving this pubes in the shower next to you or even the one beside that you watch all the soap suds and pubes from another person swilling over your feet.

I just pray nobody has a piss in the shower next to me. Dd used to work there and said people would frequently leave a steaming turd in the shower so maybe pubes are the least thing I need worry about.
