Down below.....is shaving still the most popular, or is natural just the preserve these days of older generations? Simple one word answer with your age.

@jaded247 Shock ouch

Whatever I can be arsed with, normally just leave it but sometimes treat myself and shave. Same goes with everywhere else Grin 23

Shaken but not stirred. OO7

Waxing is not listed by the OP as an option.

Trim with scissors and shave down to a neat triangle with razor (when I can be arsed - every few weeks or so) - 40

Has anyone used a Phillips Lumea down below? Their website says it works on all but the inner bits - but I’ve also seen reviews that say it can be used only on the bikini line

jaded247 · 21/09/2019 18:47

@Hippobag Ouch indeed. But it's all worth it because I hate that itchy stubble feeling and I'm hair free for at least 2-3 wks.

ermwhatda · 21/09/2019 18:50

trim, ladyshave, 42

Epilate, mid-50s. I've been doing it for so long it no longer hurts.

JessicaPeach · 21/09/2019 18:53

I go through phases, sometimes I keep it neat with waxing but most of the time I just leave it. I've just started using woo woo hair removal cream though and it's been a revelation!

(Use to veet/shave but waxing is so much better)

EdWinchester · 21/09/2019 19:18

Hollywood wax. Shaving sounds horrid.

  1. Epilate around the edge and shave the rest
StarlightLady · 21/09/2019 21:46

40 something. All off. Vary between waxing and shave. Tend to shave if I get bored with the regrowth.

LellyMcKelly · 22/09/2019 04:09

Epilate? Blimey, you must have fanjos of steel. Even the thought of it is enough to make me clench.
