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

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 Grin) set off his asthma a little.

Please dont tell me I have to go and have it waxed Sad 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 Grin 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!

Roomba?

Dave, no need to trim with scissors beforehand. I use the trimmer (strimmer?!) bit up top, probably equivalent to a Number 1 cut, then use it to trim undercarriage, then shave undercarriage.

No accidental clitorectomy yet. Blush

Get an electric trimmer. I had one of these and it was ace. Think it was by Braun.

You need a mirror, just a compact one for example. That way you can hold it with one hand and shave with the other. I used to do
Most of mine without looking and then catch the bits I'd missed using the mirror.

I remember last time I was pregnant, I was 38 weeks and it looked like a jungle. I hadn't shaved for weeks and weeks and decided enough was enough, I was in the shower for so long that the water ran cold and my hips seized up from standing in such an awkward position! I cursed my vanity all day until 7pm when suddenly my waters broke - I then turned into Mrs Smug knowing that I was trimmed, shaved and plucked to within an inch of my life just in time for the big moment Grin

Seriously,I had a wax,then went overdue,so it was all growing back.

Was OK in the end though with a quick c section shave up.

Thanks Deux - clitorectomy can you imagine Shock

Maybe you could stand over a large mirror to do it?
