Living as a woman

[MissScarletInTheBallroom]

This is a thread for people to give examples of experiences which constitute "living as a woman".

I'll go first.

Peeing on a pregnant test and waiting anxiously to see whether a second line appears.

Being raped at 14.

I think you move in different circles from me, and are probably from a younger generation. I have sometimes let my body hair grow, and mostly used disposable razors (pretty cheap, and probably cheaper than men's shaving costs). I've never had a wax in my life.

Me too. Anything a bic can't shift is staying. I sometimes think I have the last fanny hair on the planet.

In my youth I had an impressive mound of pubic hair and allowed it to stay like that. No one ever complained. It's thinned out greatly in recent years, but I've still got a decent amount.

Possibly yeah. I’m 35. I am very hairy though and shaving lasts literally a day, so waxing is the only suitable hair removal method for me. I’ll probably get to a point in my life where I cba though. Tbh I might be there now 🤣

Two pregnancies complete with sickness and PGP, two births and breastfeeding for a total of four years.

Trying for years to correct my postpartum rib flare.

You’re not the last, I’m rocking a full retro bush. I only tidy it up if I’m wearing a bikini, but it doesn’t all go, just the edges
