hairy bits !

Hello Wot and Jinglebellfrocks - what I mean is, well one can be more direct with one's sister if there is a disagreement, and I do get on with my sister..................................most of the time.

Hey, JInglebellfrocks, what size are you, can I have your throwouts please?

By the way Wot - who's a cheeky cow?

patriciageegee I think that was a bit off tbh. Maybe they were trying to make you feel relaxed, but it's not exactly the ideal way to go.

Love the story of the Japanese lady with her knickers on her head!

The nurse who was giving Patricia a colonoscopy. Who/what did you think I was referring to?

Thanks for your responses to my post everyone. I'm a genuine 100% grandma & was concerned that you'd think otherwise. patriciageegee, I hope I don't get a nurse like that as I'm a bit shy where my ageing body's concerned. Not that I'm a prude, just shy.

Dunno Wot

Like anything it is culturally based. Western culture prefers women with out excess body hair and we too are accultured to prefer it.

Or let us be honest it really depends on how hirsute you are and how dark and coarse your hair is. If your body hair is light and downy, it isn't really a problem. If your hair is thick and dark and grows luxuriantly where ever it appears, then you shave.

On subject of hair thining or disappearing in certain places, there was no mention of this when I was reading up on the menapause some years ago! I discovered it when my mum had a vulvectomey and I had to change her dressings when she came home from hospital, as there was no district nurse available. In my innocence I assumed they had shaved off all the hair down there for the op!

This has been most enlightening! Now what about these vajazzles I keep hearing about? I'm not sure what they are.

Vajazzles are where you have sparkly crystals stuck on the bare bit when you have had all the hair removed. The crystals are arranged in a design like a heart or something. If you Google vajazzle you'll see some photos (not rude)!

This website is all about vajazzles

Thanks for the info! OMG - maybe I should get one of those. Or maybe not.

My knickers would catch on it!

Who said we didn't,t like it? (From an old biddy)

Where is Old Biddy? Come on show yourself, so to speak!

The one thing that no one on here has admitted to is having grey/white pubes. Is that part of the ageing process, I am so embarrassed at having this I would never be in a relationship again. My hair on my head is brown with grey bits but no white yet. Im so distressed by this is this normal

Yes, rest assured. My head hair was black turned white and same "down below" it is embarrassing.

It's definitely normal. In fact, men worry about finding their first grey pube the same way women do about finding their first grey hair on their heads. I hope this will help you stop feeling distressed ethel

Why is having greying pubes embarrassing? Men's pubes also go grey.

If you are embarrassed, just dye them as you would your hair.

No one (except medical professionals) have seen mine, so there's no problem really!

Don't like hairy pits or pubes so I get rid of both of mine!

Er, fascinating ......

Etheltbags is back: I feel more reassured now that I know Im not alone with grey 'bits'.

Hello Ethel glad you are back being you!
