How to trim my lady garden when I can't actually see it?

[PoultryInMotion]

Pregnancy belly is very big now. I haven't seen my vagine in weeks. How on earth can I give it a tidy up with minimum embarrassment? I know it's much more unruly than I would prefer, every time I go to the loo I get...caressed...by the sheer length of it. Plus (sorry, avert eyes now) it's making things a bit stinky down there.

I don't think I could face the mortification of having DH paint the veet on like last time. Plus I think the stench of it (the chemicals, not my vagine ) set off his asthma a little.

Please dont tell me I have to go and have it waxed I can't imagine how painful that must be! (yes, I know I have childbirth to face, but I get offered pain relief for that!) If I went for one do you think they'd offer me some gas and air at least? Or an epidural ideally Plus, would they actually do it so late on in my pregnancy? And of course, what about the humiliating vagine smell?

I need ideas/alternatives!

Sorry, should I'm not suffering from any infections, I'm just horrifically disgusting.

I am 40 weeks and have no advice as I tried some home remedies for the wookie look and failed. Horribly. And fell over. So it's staying and that's that...

go for a wax, hot wax, not warm strip wax (make sure you ask, don't take the risk).

In exactly the same (hairy) boat.

My cunning plan is to lie on the bed on a towel with a mirror propped up and do some trimming so at least it's not hideously embarrassing if I end up in hospital today. Plus I know I can reach that way.

Then if that goes OK, and am feeling up to it, to take a mirror into the bathroom, prop it on the loo, and paint the Veet on. Will only be the front alas.

Obviously this is just a plan, and one I've procrastinated for so long now my bits could audition successfully for Rapunzel. But will let you know how it goes.

When you are in labour why will it matter two hoots how your pubes look? If you are stinky, wash more! Or am I missing something here ?

Burrito It's not about being in labour, it's the fact that I don't like the feeling of my mega long pubes rubbing against me, especially when usually tainted with delightful pregnancy discharge.

Plus my fanjo is not really an area I like to scrub with cleaning products, I've had too many episodes of thrush not to learn that lesson

DH has offered to have a go with his clippers

I had a salon wax very late on. I went to the loo quickly before to wet wipe any excess 'moisture' away (ah the memories...). The beautician talked me into a Brazilian and set about giving me the most thorough waxing ever.

I was sooo at the time but really pleased with it when I got home. Just go somewhere you don't normally go to if you're shy.

I am shamelessly watching to see if anyone comes along with a genius solution.

I could practically plait my fanjo hair and the last time I attacked the area with veet it stung like buggary so im not attempting that again....

I have 7 weeks to go before due date, so have the added dilema that if I tackle this now, I will more than likely have to go through the trauma again in a few weeks. Nightmare!

Get youtr partner to do it.
That's what I did for most of the big bit of pregnancy and then just before due date got it waxed.

I am not pregnant, but have extremely bad eyesight so I have just the same problem, as my glasses steam up if I try to use them in the shower. I do it by feel now, a bit like reading braille i would imagine.

Afraid to say I had to get a man in at this stage. Also for the legs (backs thereof). My theory was he got me in this condition, so he can bloody well suffer the consequences. It required the use of the garden strimmer.

The midwife strimmed did a dry shave on mine just before labour.

My plan is to hand the bikini trimmer to DH when I'm unable to reach to do the honours.

My DP did have a go with his clippers.

I had a grade 1 & he showed me it with a mirror like you get at the hairdressers & everything

I have a Wilkinson Sword bikini trimmer thing - has a disposible razor bit on the other end. It's great as can be used in the shower - you don't really need to look as it has a safety cover thing on it to control the length. Keeps everything short and if you you really want, you can just shave the edges :)

It tickled.

DH has done mine with bikini trimmer since I stopped being able to see it at about 30 weeks. It is much shorter and neater than when I do it myself!

My DH trimmed mine and cut me. [annoyed] I would go for the waxing option. probably hurts alot but will be worth it

DH waxed mine for me when I was heavily pregnant with DD1. I was worried about the hair getting stuck in the stitches for some weird reason.

Go get a wax done. If you need an emergency c section they will dry shave u and do a really bad job the re growth after a dry shave was very uncomfortable!

I second Wilkinson Sword safety razor with bikini trimmer. It's brilliant. I've never cut myself.

You could use it in the bath and get as contorted as you can manage.

Incidentally, the wax might not be that bad... I find eyebrow threading much less painful since I've been pregnant (although haven't had a wax). Hormones, maybe?

Deux - I have such a machine. Can it tackle major deforestation? Or would a prior trim be advisable?

Leave it and enjoy the extra warmth in this weather. Re the smell, I was going to suggest wet toilet wipes but I think it would be better to re-read The Female Eunuch tbh.
