My skin is waay too sensitive to wax anywhere. I do a trim down there too. I can understand and see the attraction of a total wax job though. It's only because my skin couldn't handle it that I don't do it.

OhEmGee - is your gynaecologist a man? I'd be interested to see his/her research evidence to support that recommendation.

DameEnidSpink · 08/08/2012 09:30

An all off wax does not make an adult woman look like a child.

It makes it look like an old lady fanjo.

OhEmGee24 · 08/08/2012 09:53

Taggie - no an honorary lecturer and clinical lead. A female. I had bad scarring post birth and hairs were effecting the healing process causing ingrowns and inflammation. I've had hollywoods ever since

There are definite advantages to alopecia.
Having said that, I wouldn't remove from the genital area even if I did have hair.

EdithWeston · 08/08/2012 10:01

Grin at old lady fanjo. But it is so true!

piedaterre · 08/08/2012 10:34

Definitely something wannabe porn star about the HOllywood... whatever floats your boat, I guess...

My undercarriage defo couldn't handle it, I get huge bleeding holes just from waxing my bikini line.

SunWukong · 08/08/2012 15:57

I'll keep shaving it all off thanks, the rest of you can walk around like monkeys if you like I can't stand having hair there and guys prefer a clean shaved fanny.

WavingLeaves · 08/08/2012 16:03

Oh SunWukong - how you are spoiling us with your amazing insights into the world of guys and hairy fannies.

Hello, having just posted something on this subject, I must butt in and ask those of you who have it all waxed off...

How do they do it in the salon? I am really tempted but a bit nervous and would like to know what I'd be in for. Surely I won't have to get on all fours?

I care not a joy about the politics of it, I just want to get rid of the hair and not have DP swallowing it as a poster above said Grin

persephonejones · 08/08/2012 16:06

not a jot, I mean, obv...

WavingLeaves · 08/08/2012 16:13

These monkeys must have got a Groupon deal.

OneLittleToddlingTerror · 08/08/2012 16:33

I can't imagine you have to get on all fours. Wouldn't lying on your back, nappy changing style, provide full access as well?

OneLittleToddlingTerror · 08/08/2012 16:34

I mean the lying on your back like a baby obviously. You can wipe the whole area very clean in this position, maybe with a bit of butt lifting at most.

puds maybe I'm too old to fully understand this. But I thought it's not just the bikini line we are talking here. But a full on clean, bald fanjo. Basically hairless everywhere like a baby. Surely the bikini line doesn't include underneath, or does it? Confused I do check myself and I'm sure I don't have to go bald to not have a hairy bikini.

What happens when you find grey pubes?
Do you look more or less like an old lady if you whip the lot off?

Do people dye their pubes to cover grey?

FateLovesTheFearless · 08/08/2012 16:52

You change into a disposable thong and lie on your back. In my salon they tie the material of the thong so it's like a thick line which basically covers your most private areas, just leaving the outer lips showing. They start on one side and get you to put your foot against the knee of the opposite leg. In my salon they get you to hold the skin tight towards the outer lips. Then they do the other side. Then they drop the thing down so it covers your clit and wax the top area that's missed from doing each side. If you are hairy towards the rear they will get you to pull your leg up but the thong material still stops you being fully exposed. In all honesty it's much less revealing than you would think, at least my salon is! At no point have I ever had to go on all fours!

Though that wouldn't bother me. Four dc equals all dignity long gone Grin

Euphemia- thanks for posting that link. I found it really informative...if a but scary Smile

BunnyLebowski · 08/08/2012 16:57

I have it done. Not all off, I have a triangle shape mirroring the natural shape.

I love it. I love how it feels and looks. And it makes everything much more sensitive during sex.

I don't get on all fours. Just on my back. But I do hold my flaps open so my waxer lady can get all the little ones inside Shock Grin. Not bothered in the slightest. Human bodies don't weird me out. She tells me all about her hilarious love life as she does it and I've never felt anything other than comfortable.

And it doesn't hurt.

And I don't loathe myself Hmm.

OneLittleToddlingTerror · 08/08/2012 16:58

Just reading the description fate gave makes me go pale. I just find waxing soooo painful.
