How Many Of These Secret Gross Girl Things Have You Done, Really?
We're all a little bit gross.

Plucked your nipple hair.

Continued to wear pants that have period blood on them,.

got your pubes trapped in your pads wings,.

bled on to your sheets a TINY bit but were too tired to change them ASAP

Only shaved bits of skin that would show.

Worn a pair of underwear even when you couldn't get the period stains out.

Why kind of monster throws away period pants? You'd have to buy new ones monthly.

Yeah, not clicking on that load of old shite.

How about "Buzz feed, everything about your disgusting clickbait is misogynistic and vomitworthy. FFTFO"

WorkSurvey · 30/04/2019 17:28

All of them. We’re not all shiny, hairless princesses like in porn. We’re normal women.

Fuck off buzzfeed.

How many blokes have worn a pair of Y fronts even though they couldn't get the skid marks out?
Huh?

Well????

DpWm · 30/04/2019 17:31

How many blokes scratch their sweaty balls in public? Yes I've seen it. Yuck. Gross. Ewwww.

Ok, not big on shaving anything, but why would anyone shave something that wasn’t visible?

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 30/04/2019 17:32

When I was a student my boyfriend and I had some special period sex sheets we called The Night of a Thousand Virgins. BuzzFeed would've made a weird noise and exploded. Grin

@MIdgebabe maybe it's like when your nan used to tell you to wear clean knickers in case you got in a car accident. Hmm Wouldn't want the paramedics judging your pubic topiary.

I'm sure Buzzfeed thinks TWAW as well, so surely calling it "Gross Girl" is transphobic by their reasoning?

I'm also intrigued by the contradiction - it's gross to pluck the hair on your nipples, but it's also gross to only shave the visible parts of you?

I think the point is that you, a proper woman, shouldn't get nipple hairs. Ever.

OP posts:
FloralBunting · 30/04/2019 17:40

I actually do pluck my nipple hair, gross being that I am. I do it primarily because it's a really satisfying thing to do, like popping bubble wrap.

You can judge me Buzz feed, I give no shits.

Being a mammal I tend to have hair on my body. Fucking horrifying I know.

Since puberty I have had one super long random white hair that grows on my chest.

I do pluck it when I can be bothered.

Tbh it's the least of my worries...

Maybe you should be shaving your nipple hair? [wincing at potential for damage]

FermatsTheorem · 30/04/2019 17:51

Terry those lone, long white hairs... What is it with them? I have one lone Dennis Healey eyebrow hair.

I only clicked on it as the image was a woman pulling the long hair that had got wedged from between her butt cheeks which was the sort of thing I was expecting. [gross] Grin Long hair problems...

Oh so I'm not the only one to be cursed by the lone long white hair Fermats!

I usually forget mine's there until I scratch my chest and think "what the feck is that???"

Plucking it is supremely satisfying.

I get your perspective for sure. I just think it is a personal preference thing.

For me, I was burned really badly as a prepubescent girl (2nd and 3rd degree requiring a lot of medical intervention - keloid scarring). So I shave what makes me feel good and don't worry about other people's thoughts on it. If hairy feels good, go for it! If shaven (or somewhere in between) feels good, go for it! Sometimes I go full yeti and regret it when I attempt to tame the unruly overgrowth (keloid scarring can make it scary!) lol.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 30/04/2019 18:08

forget nipples (although I pluck them too), I reserve most of my energy for my chin.

and I love that they really couldn't let themselves go too far with this:

bled on to your sheets a TINY bit but were too tired to change them ASAP

how about bled all over those bad boys then climbed right back in the next night? The milk didn't go sour or anything, and the cows still gave birth.

2BthatUnnoticed · 30/04/2019 18:12

Sounds like a vintage woman hating article. I’ve resolved never to click in links like that and feel better for it.

FloralBunting · 30/04/2019 18:16

I have no white hairs on my chest. Severe black nipple pubes for me. So much fun to pull out.

Amazing. I admit, I have considered purchasing a specific ‘sex blanket’ to save on the laundry. Not keen on the available colours, mind you...

Discrete for merging with your current bedding - not when you’ve got a thing for Cath Kidston florals and vintage candlewick bedspreads it isn’t!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Does hair actually grow on nipples? I'm intrigued (but I'm also quite weird so there's that).
