Shave or not to shave? I’m as nature intended. Do you go Brazilian, have a landing strip or let it all hang out.

I’ve tried it Saetana - it didn’t enhance anything, it looked oddly hybrid on my adult woman’s and the itchy regrowth within a couple of days was anything but sexy. No need to be offended, all opinions are valid.

My friend had hers waxed and proceeded to describe the experience in great detail on the plane to Portugal last summer. The poor guy in the aisle seat didn't know where to put himself!

I have to say I am offended by those conflating a "full monty" with paedophilia - look to your own dirty minds first! My DH has shaved it off for me (men are SO much better with razors than women) every so often over the years - when we have both fancied it. He doesn't care, if I don't want to shave then we don't. All I have to say is - if you have never tried it then don't knock it, it can enhance sex for both parties. My husband likes a mature curvy woman and the disgusting thoughts of some of you who equate a full shave to paedophilila - well, let's just say he is offended and so am I!!!

Thank you for all the smiles today. I have always just had a small near bush and no need for any trimming to be bikini or swimsuit ready. In fact it's hearttshaoed due to the surgeon cutting vertically instead of horizontally for my hysterectomy many years ago. With chemo last year I lost every hair on my body and except for the hair on my head plus my eyelashes and eyebrows would have been happy for it not to regrow. Unfortunately it has and has grown faster than the hair on my head.

Meant to say I wish it was just grandmas on here

I wish it was!

Nicely trimmed but nothing more than that after the trauma of having acute appendicitis aged 15.
The student nurse who shaved me pre -op had been to my school - and recognised me! Oh the horror for this shy teenager! I felt so vulnerable “naked” and the itching afterwards was unbearable.

I would like to let it all hang out but I'm afraid it's disappeared.

I’m with you Greciangirl - I’d definitely do a double take if I saw pubes poking out of the side of a swimming costume or trunks. A bit of a trim looks better imo.

Not only is itchy regrowth not particularly attractive looking, waxing is less hygienic apparently and makes you more prone to infection m.health24.com/Medical/Vaginal-health/News/5-things-you-should-know-before-going-for-a-bikini-wax-20181116 <- not envy

Men who shave their faces need to do it every day. The thought of either having to do THAT down below every day or being all stubbly - does that REALLY please a partner? - makes the question a no-brainer for me. It was only about 20 years ago that I even heard that "most" (?) women shave their pubes. I suppose if we grew up believing that was the norm, most of us would assume it was disgusting not to. Armpits, yes, because you're less likely to get BO. But surely a nice thick springy curly bush is nicer to touch than a load of stubble?

Greciangirl, I could list many things that look worse than hairy bits poking out from the sides of your Cassie. Why on earth would you be 'dead embarrassed' walking around the pool like that?

Nothing looks worse than hairy bits poking out from the sides of your cossie.
I would be dead embarrassed walking around the pool like that.
I’m not a fan of shaving or waxing, and only do it if I go swimming.

I keep it trimmed along the sides, as I didn't want to do an impersonation of one of those fancy tailed goldfish, everything flowing out round me in the swimming pool!

Have to laugh at all of this. Do what makes you feel good. BUT, I agree, if a man insists a woman do this he should go first.

This thread has been very fun to read, Lots of laughs.

When younger and often swimming and/or sunbathing, I always kept mine neatly trimmed. Since I don't do either now (though I should go swimming for the exercise!), everything left "au naturel".

This is all becoming a bit much for me possibly tmi really but quite amusing!

Neatly trimmed!

All off. Purely because it feels better.

I don't think age has anything to do with it, whatever you think amounts to good grooming ( on or off) is important for self esteem. Anyway, if you want to please a partner why not?

I've had a horrible few days, but this thread made me smile for the first time in days.

Men wax and trim now too. Back, sac and crack. Its becoming more desirable for both sexes to keep it neat and presentable.

This reminds me of the urban legend
A nurse from England was on duty in the emergency department, when a punk rocker entered. This young woman had purple hair styled into a Mohawk, a variety of tattoos and strange clothing. It was determined that the patient had acute appendicitis and was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff found that her pubic hair had been dyed green and above it was a tattoo reading: "Keep off the grass." After the prep and the surgery, the surgeon added a small note to the dressing, which said: "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."

Sorry, didn't clock that you were the OP, hollysteers! My apologies!
This is a great fun thread. Love the idea of plaiting and bows..

Yep, all off for me and I use the cream so no razor rash.

What a horrible thread.
