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.

I often don’t shave the bits that are visible, let alone those that aren’t. Who cares if my legs are hairy when I go for a run?

After giving birth to DD, I managed to climb off the sticky horrible delivery bed to have a shower, only to realise my error when I got my clean self back to the still filthy bed. I got back in, as I was knackered, so a bit of period blood, whether on sheets or pants, is neither here nor there.

I can hear my late Nan’s voice now... ‘What? Oh jjust stick a towel over it for now’ Grin

I am going to have to take everyone's word that plucking nipple hair is satisfying. The thought makes my toes curl.

But the rest, completely normal.

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

Laughed so hard at this I managed to breathe coffee into my sinus!!! Right there with you on this - my chin is a battleground! Lmao!

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.

You are killing me! So funny (and true).

Jeez.

Who writes these? I think I can safely say that not a single girl at my sixth form thinks any of these things are "disgusting". Got to be a misinformed man, surely?

We have three dark colored designated sex sheets and use them religiously and never as bedsheets - period bedsheets are a must we call them "Carrie".

BixBeiderbecke · 30/04/2019 18:51

This has reminded me of Fleabag:
Q: What’s your favourite period film?
A: Carrie.

^Plucked your nipple hair.

So both removing body hair and not removing all body hair is "disgusting"?

BettyFilous · 30/04/2019 18:59

This thread is cracking me up.

Perimenopause reminds me a lot of puberty with the feast or famine periods and - yep - the Carrie-like flooding. I’ll admit to accidentally epilating with the wings on pads.

Also, why would you shave the bits that don’t show? It only grows back so you have to keep doing it, plus there’s a really annoying prickly phase in the middle.

HumberElla · 30/04/2019 19:04

All of them. Lots. Oh except the first one cos i’d rather leave them alone.

CountFosco · 30/04/2019 19:31

They only didn't do a 'secrey gross boy things' because it would fill the entire internet. Although there's a good selection on the Relationships board.

MIdgebabe · 30/04/2019 19:32

Good spot aswede

hdh747 · 30/04/2019 19:39

I confess I shave my nipple hairs - post menopausal I get a good few and they are irritating in my bra, seems quickest while I'm doing my armpits and I do keep up with those because mine get very whiffy very fast otherwise. Legs like a bear though.
Once, only once in my life, I shaved my pubes, the lot, as a treat for hubby, I'd never done it and I knew he was curious about this phenomenom, I'm normally a 70s style natural gal. So I did it the once, in my fifties, and promptly had a near-fatal accident. (not while actually shaving - shortly afterwards) Woke up in a hospital bed with many broken bones and staples all down the front where I'd had emergency surgery and once I'd groggily come to understand what had happened I thought, 'bugger all those docs seeing my bald minge!' (while I was bleeding to death on their table)

BettyDuMonde · 30/04/2019 19:41

Best way to deal with post menopausal nipple hairs is to take your specs off before your clothes, I reckon.

Works for cellulite too!

RuffleCrow · 30/04/2019 19:44

I'm not sure my nipples are capable of growing hair. It's the wrong kind of skin? My boobs generally do though.

Goosefoot · 30/04/2019 19:47

So, people with special sex sheets - do you have to get out of bed and change the sheets every time you are in the mood? That sounds like a lot of work, or planning ahead.

ThePankhurstConnection · 30/04/2019 19:51

Yeah, not clicking on that load of old shite

Succinct and on the money. I gave up women's magazines before I left school, all these types of articles are a form of manipulation and shame. Fuck that.

This works for a lot of things.

I thought it really IS the entire internet. The internet is formed by 40% cat videos, 9 % useful things and of that 0.01% is women's spaces and 51% disgusting or gross things men do.

And yes I wrote a peer reviewed paper proving those percentages Wink

butteryellow · 30/04/2019 19:56

got your pubes trapped in your pads wings

How is this in any way gross? Mainly it's annoying and painful (like when you've been driving for a while, and realise that the adhesive has been pulling on some for a bit, and it's getting really, really painful)..

I don't have nipple hairs (yet), but plenty of chin and moustache hairs - I only pluck the really stiff ones though, because otherwise I just sit there playing with them.. I also have one cheek hair, that somehow manages to sprout instantly at about 3/4 cm long, but I have never caught growing to that length.

boatyardblues · 30/04/2019 20:46

I think bodysuits are a chore for the same reason as pads with wings - nothing worse than trapping some pubes in a popper. Still, I keep thinking that it will be less of a problem for millennials and that maybe their time is now (as a fashion trend).

thelastgoldeneagle · 30/04/2019 20:54

Revoltingly misogynistic shite.
