Can I keep my knickers on if I have my bikini line waxed?

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Er - haven't had this done for a few years and I can't remember what the "procedure" is, but I want to keep my knickers on because I'm very shy.

I know, I know, they've seen it all before but I'm .

am intrigued - what's so great about a brazilian?

[ediemcreedie]

All I will say is that if you have ever had anything to do(professionally) with paedophiles you wouldn't.

[Gobbledigook]

? Not married to a paedophile though!

[hunkermunker]

Wouldn't what, ediemcreedie? Keep your knickers on, have a wax or a Brazilian? V confused!

[ediemcreedie]

The mere thought would make your flesh crawl.

[hunkermunker]

Eh?

[Gobbledigook]

I'm lost too

[motherinferior]

Presumably, a Brazilian. Which makes sense. But then I appear to be virtually alone in thinking that pubic hair looks actually quite nice - it's raunchy.

[Gobbledigook]

Well you killed that one MI

[champs]

wat???? paedophiles??? huh?????

[marthamoo]

Have no idea - have never had it done but I love the thread title!

Mif, that's me then...raunchy...erm, yeah.

Don't get the paedophile ref either - no hair makes you look pre-pubescent? It would take more than hair removal to make me look pre-pubescent...nah, am lost there.

[champs]

a brazilian leaves hair on so al tottaly baffed!! also why would a peadophile be into a grown woman anyway??
still confused

[handlemecarefully]

I quite like the look of a Brazilian (and don't agree on the paedo thing at all! - for heavens sake!), but I would have to be under general anaesthetic to have my knickers removed for anything other than a cervical smear of childbirth!

Crikey I felt crippled with embarrassment just having a fake tan applied!

[champs]

lol!! wouldnt have it done myself far to shy but have done it was a bit embarrasing at first but tottaly fine now

[sunchowder]

so....the brazilian looks kind of like an eyebrow?

[handlemecarefully]

Well yes sunny, I suppose it does (except vertical)

[sunchowder]

I never saw one...so sheltered I am......

[handlemecarefully]

Well I haven't seen one in person as it were!

[handlemecarefully]

(Just thought I should clarify that!)

[expatinscotland]

it doesn't look like an eyebrow. it looks like a 'landing strip'. in fact, that's what it's called - the landing strip. and that's it.

if you're a thong fan, tho, there's simply nothing like it.

[sunchowder]

From Expats' description, it sounded like a little eyebrow across the top, not vertical...oh well! I'll never get one, so I guess it doesn't matter much HMC...

[handlemecarefully]

Ah semantics! - a vertical eyebrow is the same as a landing strip. Just cos you're all hard and have had one done!

[handlemecarefully]

Maybe I've got it wrong then? I thought it was (boy this is getting graphic) and thin vertical strip of hair on either side of the opening to the vulva
