Grooming of the lady garden - a question.

furryfanjo · 06/03/2008 19:11

yes i am a name changer. i can tell you all abotu red rugs, judge flounce, supermaret grapes and UCM to prove my credentials if i must.

but i do have a serious question, which i know is going to be a toughy seeing as Cod's challenge is in full swing.

anyway, my question.
I usually just trim around the edges of the lady garden to ensure no spiders legs. but i recently decided to go bare. i bought some NAIR bikini cream stuff. i whacked it all on [and after i stopped screaming from the burning sensation] and it left me looking a little like a plucked chicken with a beard.

My fanjo has hair growing just inside the top of my errm....don't know the technical term....Beef curtains?

Now firstly - is such hair normal or is this yet another sign of my fatness? have i got so fat that i now have a fat fanny?

secondly - do you reckon its safe to put the cream on that part? if not what do i do? shaving just makes me itch like a letch with crabs and i don't fancy the idea of using wax (terrified i will rip it off wrong and find my clit attached to the strip)

so please, once you have stopped laughing at my daftness....HELP

It is totally normal to have hair coming from your labia. I would recommend a 'professional' wax when the hair grows in. You could apply Nair there but I always think if it is doing that to your hair - what is it doing to your skin?
Incidently - make sure you exfoliate regularly now or you'll end up with ingrown hairs all over your bits - 'tis very sore and unsightly.

Can't help, am laughing too much at beef curtains

LittleWonder · 06/03/2008 19:22

Is that you UCM?

TrinityRhino · 06/03/2008 19:28

I would only have the "beef curtains" waxed by a professional if I were you.

I have had a brazillian a few times and it hurts enough to have a professional do it.

God can you imagine if you got the strip stuck - would you be brave enough to call for help?

Is it not utterly mortifying to go and get them done proffessionaly though.

the thought of some teenage blonde looking at my mooie just fills me with dread.

Pruning a Speciality

Do you want the phone number?

furryfanjo · 06/03/2008 19:45

You have paper knickers on. She only sees a bit at once - not all your fanjo. You pull the pants to one side and then hold the skin taught for her with the other hand.

My beautician was in her mid forties.

bellavita · 06/03/2008 20:11

You do have to have the leg (of the side that is being done) over her shoulder though

RUMPEL · 06/03/2008 20:11

I think you will find that a lot of beauty therapists these days are not blonde and caked in make-up! Some tips though:

Ask friends for recommendations,
Make sure they are insured and the place is hygenic,
Ask how long they have been doing it for,
You'll probably need to change into paper pants or indeed go commando - they'll protect your modesty as much as they can though,
don't let your hair get too long,
they will not care as long as you don't smell!

I remember having people in for bikini waxing who had obviously just had sex - bleurgh! I had a lap dancer once - she was up on the plinth on all fours so I could get her bum hair off - the clients didn't like it!
