to think that Brazilian waxes are NOT the norm. Or am I deluded?

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Article in the Times basically saying that it is an expectation nowadays that women will have Brazillians.

Is this the case nowadays? I have never had a wax job down below and have no intention of. Sod that!

Particularly at this quote: "There is something hugely irritating about being forced to conform to an aesthetic ideal instigated and perpetuated by the porn industry, but...it is now expected. If your boyfriend has been conditioned to expect a tidy Brazilian, he may genuinely find anything else very off-putting".

Really? Or in actually still having pubic hair am I the modern equivalent of the wild woman of Borneo?

I'll have to get back to you Olifin. I'm at work and away tonight and I can't remember the brand I'm using at the moment.

I have used Immac Hard Wax before and that was ok. You can stick the pot in the microwave so you don't actually need a warmer.

okay now feeling guilty

the poem isnt mine it was one that was given to me after my own waxing torture but it made me laugh uncontrollably and after reading it didnt feel so bad about my extreme pain so thought it only fair to share! So glad you enjoyed it.

Will admit to trying husbands shaver once cos i had run out razors and proceeded to rip out quite a few hairs by the follicles and lumps of skin and ended up with a grid reference effect that took a week to settle down

husband had a bloody good laugh about that so i didnt feel so bad when he came down one moring with three perfect cuts on the tip of his nose where he was shaving with new razor and sneezed and sliced himself - karma is a good thing pmsl

Pissing myself, Miki! Hilarious, whoevers it was. Whoevers? Whatevers.

As for the beard, bedlambeast, I love the coma fantasy. I have a little private daymare I like to indulge from time to time where I have been imprisoned for a goodly while - a political pawn I think, because I am TIRRibly law-abiding - and am finally released, thin and dishevelled, stumbling out into the glaring daylight to be met by the jostling, journos, mikes and cameras of the world's press (an inflated sense of self?), all of whom recoil in horror at my MAN BEARD and terrible tache.

DH has spent 7 years pooh-poohing my supposed 'tache, but went very quiet recently when I had to grow it to have it lasered (which, incidentally, seem to be working very well after 2 sessions). Ha!

My dh genuinely doesn't think I'm hairy. The fact that I remove the odd random hair that appears on my neck(?) seems to escape his notice completely. However even he's noticed my alarmingly hairy belly which has come with this pregnancy.

Ingrid Betancourt - my thought pattern followed that to a T! As for deep, I am toying wth the idea of going a third time in case I get a girl, just because I want to buy purdy outfits! Claire 236, fortunately never got the hiary belly, but surely it will wane once your bubba arrives. I also thank God I seem so far to have avoided my mum's hairy nipples. Ulp - shouldn't have said it out loud.

hi,
does anyone know a mobile hairdresser or a lady who does waxing in the Bexley area?where do you do your waxing?I mean if someone else does it for you,I don't want to do it myself...thanks!

GetOrfMoiLand Im withyou!

There's no way I'm putting myself through that kind of torture!

I've never waxed. I've shaved it all of a couple of times, for fun, but it was so itchy growing back I'd never do that again!

Usually I just leave it au natural. The ONLY time I'll do anything to it is if I'm going swimming I'll NAIR (better than Immac IMO) the bits you can see.

Any man who is seriously bothered by a bit of hair isn't my kind of man I'm afraid!

In fact, my lovely DP made a point of saying that I shouldn't feel I had to shave just for him, when we first got together. I still do, but for me

"I still do, but for me"
My legs and armpits, I mean.

I do what suits ME.

In the Summer I have it all off; in the Winter I tuck it in my socks.

MY DH gives me a number 1..

I've never had one. To be honest, I have no idea if my friends have or not - it's not something we'd ever discuss!

Couldn't bear to leave it au naturel....big bushy fanjo, yuck! There's a happy medium between waxed to within an inch of your life and unruly hairy mess!

this is an old thread and people probably will respond to the OP rather than you post!

If I were you I would start a new thread in chat, or in style and beauty
