AIBU to consider having a Brazilian before giving birth?

[ScaredOfEverything]

Im 37 weeks. My ladygarden is a mess. I cant even see it anymore. So, am I?

brazilian is a bare fanjo... smooth as a babies bum!!

Oh maybe I have my terminology wrong...I didnt mean to take the whole lot off...maybe just most of it

I am still in shock from discovering three REALLY long hairs on the underside of my bump a few days ago!!

i'm pretty sure a brazilian is the whole lot off..... better go and check....

here is a link to waxing types... be warned it shows the actualy fanjo... no peeking while Dc's are about!!

I will repeat my answer to the lady who wanted to bleach her anus when pregnant on another thread a while ago as I think it is still relevant here.

There really is no point getting a brazilian to make you look nicer down below when in a few weeks time your fanjo will look like a car crash.

car crash?!

Such negative thinking . Im all about optimism - my fanjo is going to be just fine

Eh, a landing strip? What - two strips of hair or something? Good god!

I couldn't bring myself to look at the photos - sorry!!!

ahh... ok then... a friend does my waxing and i just say 'take it all off'.... i always thought that was a brazilian wax.... ok... so i have a hollywood then...

photo's aren't dirty or crude really... just show the flesh bit...

a REAL Brazilian doesn't take it all off. That's a Hollywood.

I'd have a Brazilian anytime, pregnant or not. It's the accent that does it for me.

Oh, you're talking about waxing...

Yes, we're talking about waxing the fanny hairs.

Agree with Expat, hollywood is all off. I get a braizlian done now and it's fine. Also I can't remember who said abuto fanjo looking like a car crash afterwards but mine didn't, not on any 3 of my babies. No stitches or tears etc. Gives a false impression to say that tbh because not everyone does.

I would get a trim, or a wax if you can stand the pain. I'd leave a landing strip, Brazillian - not get it all off á la Hollywood - ouch!

Basically one of the worst things I remember about my crash section was the midwife scratching away really quickly and not too carefully, with a cheap BIC razor - major ouch! and terrible regrowth.

Much better to have a nice calm depilation, rather than a hideous hurried and painful shave, if the shit hits the fan and you end up having a section.
If it's nicely trimmed, the surgeon won't give you such a big scar - I was very overgrown due to having a varicose vein on my labia, so couldn't wax, and got a huge scar. they must have thought i didn't give a monkey's how I looked.

Hope you have a splendid birth BTW and all goes according to plan in a perfect way for you and your babe.

zazen, etes-vous francaise?

i am not, but just wondering.

rofl at boobz. yeah, I don't shave my pubic hair off because I am untidy, disorgnised, unattrative and because I don't want to make an effort for "my man".
in what kind of messed up world is having pubic hair unsexy
weird.
It is just a personal thing boobz, but how about if I was to say that if I knew that you had "tidied up" your pubic hair "to make an effort for your man" then I would think you were submissive, hung-up and that your idea of sexy was taken from the porn industry?
and as a matter of interest, since when did men only find "tidied up" women attractive? maybe I have only slept with men who like sleeping with, you know, actual women with actual womens bodies rather than expecting you to look like the women they see in Nuts.
and if I went to bed with a man and he had taken off his hair and looked like a prepubsescent boy I would freak out tbh.

oh and just in care my point isn't clear: I am not saying that one can judge all those things from your pubic hair choices. my point is that what you choose to do with your pubic hair cannot tell you anything at all about that person, one way or another. you can't judge a person's worth from the state of their topiary, you can't make a judgement about whether a person is tidy or attractive or sexy or whatever. it is shallow and nonsensical.
you can tell what a person is like from who they are and what they say and what they do, not from whether they trim their bush.

Didn't mean to touch a nerve Harpsi. I did say it was only my opinion and that I was probably in the minority. You like your bush more au naturel and I prefer mine a little more trimmed. We both appear to be with men who prefer us the way we are, so that's great!

xxx

I love this line..
"you can tell what a person is like from who they are and what they say and what they do, not from whether they trim their bush. "

It's fabulous.

OK - let's look at it another way. How many of you (Harpsi, Catissleepy etc) shave your legs and under your arms? Something like 90% of women in the UK do, and if you ask them why, they'll say one of 2 things:

"I do it for me because I like the way it makes me feel more feminine or because it makes me feel cleaner etc"

or

"I do it because society / men expect me to".

Do people judge other people based on their hairy armpits? Ummm - actually, yes, they do. Look at Julia Roberts not shaving her pits before that red carpet event a couple of years back - that made front page news!

If you asked everyone on here, honestly, if you saw a woman with hairy legs and a weave coming out from under her arms "does that give you an impression of her, without hearing her say anything or see her do anything", most would be hard pressed not to have at least thought something about it, if not necessarily in a negative way (i.e. European / hippy) etc.

So is it really a big stretch to go from underarms to pubic hair on your fanny? Both are secondary sexual characteristics, both represent sexual maturity and so on. But with one we are quite happy to shave off on a daily basis to make us smooth and "feminine" but when I do the same to my fanjo and dare to suggest it's for the same reasons (to appear attractive to me, more attractive to men and because not doing so seems a bit disorganised or not making an effort IMHO), we all get up in arms about it!
