Lady gardens…..what's the fashion these days?!

[WTFwasthat]

In a new relationship and very likely to consummate soon , but I am a bit concerned at what men expect these days. Is everyone having vagazzles, brazilians etc. Do ordinary women - like myself - just go for neat and tidy? I'm feeling self conscious and a bit embarrassed.

I find it funny to veet it into shapes to surprise my husband with. Right now it's a heart. He really likes it but refuses to do his. Spoilsport.

I do wax off the thigh sideburns though. Not smuggling Diana ross' head in my gusset. I don't like that look.

I have untended length and it never gets caught up in stuff. Although I'm sure if I was working down t'mill they would make me trim it.

Seriously though, I love having it longer. I tried shaving and the regrowth was horrible. The way my lady-parts are arranged meant that I was getting a lot of unwanted stimulation, not of a good sort either. Waxing - well that can go fuck itself. I'm not tearing my hair out by the root for anyone.

I prefer to leave it although I have straight pubes so a bit weird if left entirely. Dp's preference is most off, but I don't really take much notice as it doesn't affect our sex life,

Stbxh loved it completely bald. So, as the newly separated, I'm happily 'growing it out' ..because I can . It's been a chilly winter so it's come in handy with keeping me warm.

I don't get the attraction of bald bits for either sex. I mean it's not the prettiest area and hair sort of makes it look better.

Swimmers wax here as a minimum. So no thigh burns or floating fringes. Swimming with others with armpit fringes also a bit ugh in the pool. Although generally I like my men to have armpit hair.

New man - shaves his armpits - but not very well in my opinion! But has lovely hairy chest. I am currently sporting a minimum style, with a no 7 cut on the trimmers for length - new man does a nice line in oral and keen to encourage that with no pubic hair mouthfuls.

I have been doing a bit of lasering, and so have had to do a lot of shaving with that - not keen on the stubble spots though.

Kind of can't believe I am posting this!!

Frankly I'd rather have a soft bush against my face than a few mm of sharp stubble.

Thankyou - all very helpful!± I think I will just go neat and tidy. Don't think I can do any of the full on baldness, after all I am 48 not 11. It has made me lol at some of the posts!

I'm stunned by the revelation that men shave their armpits

You'd need a machete to get through mine and that's exactly how I like it.

sparklilversequins -

Don't think i would be particularly keen on the shaven look on a man - it would;t be a deal breaker but i may well find myself suggesting a more rustic look!

Snort at Melon, Diana Ross and thigh sideburns!
I shave it all off, too scared to wax.

If a man is funny about pubes or gets grossed out by them I always assume he watches a lot of porn.

So do I. I had a man tell me on a second date (yes, that's right SECOND DATE!!) that he would like me to be "fully shaved down there" when we next went out...

I didn't see him again. On the basis that he probably watched a lot of porn and would probably also make other requests demands I wouldn't be happy with. Oh and the basis he thought that was 2nd date conversation!

I am neatly trimmed with a smooth undercarriage. Just in case you were interested.

Helllllooooo World!

I too have the full on. Have never shaved down there and never will

However the normalizing of this is even creeping into our TV dramas. There was a repeat episode of Whitechapel on itv3 earlier this week and there was a scene where they were looking at old porn mags And the female officer pointed to one and said "You gotta love a hairy bird look"

More expectation of women.

i love a man to look manly. my ex OM had a hairy chest and it didnt bother me one bit.

No no, the bush is back. Everything gone is very 10 years ago.
Very important to be on trend with your lady garden.

I hope the bush stays this time. I love a bit of bush. And men with hairy chests and hairy forearms turn me into a puddle.

It is back indeed

Neatly trimmed triangle at the front and a shaven undercarriage for me. I feel it's the best of both worlds; smooth where it'll be licked but not the full on prepubescent look. Men with no pubes? No thanks!

Weaving and plaiting here too, its been a while since I did any pruning

I've probably said this before (I tend to repeat myself) but the last three guys I've been with all had shaved their Down There. I was really disappointed.

I like to tuck mine into the top of my pop sox.
