Blimmin' vanishing pubes AND very hairy thighs FFS

The minorest of minor moans, OBVIOUSLY Wink and I'm expecting light-hearted responses.

I like my pubes. I know some women don't, and remove them, and that's fine. But I like mine and one of the minor things that's just a bit sad-making about perimenopause is that they've really thinned out over the last few years. Like, balding in places (where the elastic of my pants rubs) and so thin on top I'm experiencing new-found sympathy for the balding men who desperately attempt a combover.

And yet. The hair on my inner thighs has always been generous but since perimenopause started, is positively verdant. I look like a faun. I don't shave above the knees but I do now use Veet cream, but recently that seems to be encouraging growth if anything, so I've switched to those rippy strips. This is just to please myself really, since even in a swimming costume I suspect nobody's gaze is directed towards my upper legs.

I'm taking Testogel and while it has done diddly squat for my libido or energy levels, it's certainly encouraged the fur! I've contemplated rubbing it in on top of my mons veneris instead of inner thighs as an attempt at hair replacement therapy. Grin (This is a JOKE. Although actually - would that be a bad idea so close to genitals? Or not?)

Omg this is happening to me too! Although I welcome the thinning of the pubes.

my bikini line is now growing down my legs though, and the inside of my thighs are like Jeremy clarksons eyebrows.
