I just got a mirror to inspect my lady garden and. my fanny looks like a yeti.

Desperately desperately need a wax. Anyone else been ignoring their "upkeep"?! I'll book one for Tuesday at 31 weeks and hopefully that'll last me until another one at 38 weeks before elcs.

Poor poor dp :-(

But it isn't a light hearted subject matter to some of us, it is deadly serious. I don't want to piss off back to the feminism boards as I don't spend any time there.

But this demonising of pubic hair is frightening, not funny.

Procrastinating · 16/02/2014 16:56

I find this really shocking and not lighthearted in the least. I will indeed piss off, because I can't understand how you don't see it.

Showy, exactly.

Procrastinating · 16/02/2014 16:57

Yes Mintyy, quite.

SaucyJack · 16/02/2014 16:59

Piss off? that's not very nice.

Actually, neither's what you're doing.

This is a jokey for those of us who're heavily pg to let off a bit of worry in the last few weeks/days.

If you don't want ot join in with the spirit of it, then do feel free to sod off.

Mintyy · 16/02/2014 17:02

Sod off isn't very nice either. Public forum, important subject matter, people feel strongly about it, it is not your place to tell them they can't contribute.

McFox · 16/02/2014 17:02

Frightening?! The must find the world to be a truly monstrous place if a bit of fanjo waxing strikes fear into your heart.

Mintyy · 16/02/2014 17:02

Fgs.

Evie2014 · 16/02/2014 17:07

I didn't say "cleaner"; I said "easier to keep clean." Which it is, isn't it? Especially when you can't wipe very well because of a big belly. And various bits of poop/dried discharge get caught in the hair if you can't reach to clean properly. (TMI??) And, erm, the piles make everything more complicated.

Nobody should be told to piss off. Or to go back to the feminist board. I'll happily put my hands up as a proud feminist. I don't think that's lessened by the fact that I wax.

Supercalafraga · 16/02/2014 17:09

demonising pubic hair is frightening

seriously?!

That made me laugh out loud.

If that is how you felt feel you need to open your eyes and look out of your bubble. In this world we live in there are TRULY horrid things. The freedom to choose what to do with ones own body hair is certainly not one of them.

OP was expressing something that she doesn't like - personally. She was not advocating that all mankind agree with her. We all have different tastes in all areas, which we are entitled to. I challenge all those who have bitten off OPs head to announce something trivial that they don't like - and someone will certainly have an opinion on it. But somehow I don't think they would be brave, or lighthearted enough!

OP I am personally with you on this one! 30 weeks and still go for my regular wax - damn it hurts - but to me it is worth it Grin

HumphreyCobbler · 16/02/2014 17:10

"piss off back to the feminist boards"

bloody hell that is rude.

I agree with mintyy

HumphreyCobbler · 16/02/2014 17:12

if you can't see that the attitude towards pubic hair on women is symptomatic of a wider attitude in society towards women then I really do despair.

It is about seeing the whole bubble ffs, not just part of it.

Treaclepot · 16/02/2014 17:16

So glad I never had to worry about a bit of a hairy muff, I love my short and curlies all soft and sexy.

It's such a generational thing, a bald fanny makes me think of little girls or porn. Both of which are a bit of a turn off.

For me being pregnant the biggest annoyance was not being able to cut my toe nails and having a foot phobe as a husband. Now curly toe nails are proper vile.

Treaclepot · 16/02/2014 17:18

And absolutely agree with humphrey and Mintyy, it's part of something far more sinister than a bit of hair, but sadly lots of women are blinded by years of being fed shite from social media, tv and magazines that they don't get it.

batteryhen · 16/02/2014 17:20

This thread is making me laugh. Frightening Oh dear.If you are that ssensitive then just don't comment. Sometimes I even make my DH his favourite dinner. I hope that revelation doesn't scare anyone. I would hate to give anyone nightmares.

Supercalafraga · 16/02/2014 17:24

I understand where you are coming from BUT I do think it is also generational and ultimately a personal decision that shouldn't be judged by others.

I was blessed Hmm with lots of hair - everywhere! none of which I like... I personally feel so much cleaner and better waxed.

Have you ever given it a try?! You might surprise yourself Grin

McFox · 16/02/2014 17:28

Can I just point out that everyone on this thread is a grown up, we haven't been brainwashed by the media - how fkn patronising and judgemental. As lots of people have pointed out we just like to be neat and tidy, and won't apologise for that.

PenguinsEatSpinach · 16/02/2014 17:29

Most of us aren't commenting on the fact of waxing per se, but the perceived obligation to do so.

batteryhen · 16/02/2014 17:30

This thread is making me laugh. Frightening ?? Oh dear.If you are that sensitive then just don't comment. Sometimes I even make my DH his favourite dinner. I hope that revelation doesn't scare anyone. I would hate to give anyone nightmares.

Supercalafraga · 16/02/2014 17:30

batteryhen sometimes I refuse to kiss my DH when he hasnt shaved.... He has particularly spiky regrowth.

runs and hides with blinkers on from all the scariness of this statement

batteryhen · 16/02/2014 17:31

The OP didn't say she was obligated to get rid of her pubes for her DP. A lot of posters are assuming that.

PenguinsEatSpinach · 16/02/2014 17:34

No. She said her 'poor' partner that she hadn't. That implies that you are short changing or inconveniencing him in some way.

Now pregnancy snoring, there it really is poor DH.Smile

batteryhen · 16/02/2014 17:34

LOL @ Super

batteryhen · 16/02/2014 17:35

It implies what the reader wants it to.
I read it as a lighthearted joke.

Legalbaby79 · 16/02/2014 17:36

Can you use hair removal cream ??? Far easy to slap it on rather than risk major surgery with a razor ?!?

McFox · 16/02/2014 17:39

Twisting words to suit your own agenda, how proud you must feel!
