Do you trim your "lady garden"?

I think you need Mumsnet, young lady!!!



(I haven't got enough left)

Nor me rather than [bush]

I feel a tart Mind Your Own Business coming on.

Doesn't Brazilian involve waxing? That's a bit more drastic than a quick trim...

I'm not a young lady!! Haha. I was reading an article in a paper, not sure which one, about the dos and don'ts of older dating and one of the things they mentioned was should you wax? Surely a point for discussion? Sorry if people feel it unsuitable! Personally I don't like loads of body hair but its strange how cultural norms and expectations change.

I don't want my 'bits' evaluated by a bloke who is judgemental! Love me love me as nature intended!

Don't trim. Oooh!!! Feels horrible! (from memory)

nasty fashion, offshoot of the porn industry. No-one would have started doing it unless men saw it depicted in porn and started putting on the pressure.

Yes. Complete waxing got bad connotations. Not good.

Why the silly euphemism 'lady garden' what is wrong with saying pubic hair?

I like to swim and don't like pubic hair protruding from my cozzie, so yes, I deal with it but not by trimming.

EH!!!

FlicketyB "the ladygarden is defined as the well cared for area before a man enters a lady cave." (from the invaluable Urban Dictionary)

Just thought you might like to know the origin.

I didn't know that until I looked it up specially for you.

I still think its a silly euphemism.

Fertile ground for euphemisms
I once went to a great art exhibition that was built around such words. Filled a big gallery and was very colourful.

As a (gulp) man, may I say that I find the shaven mons repellent?

Good for you Feetle that's at least 100 brownie points

I don't know if this subject has been discussed before, but I hope it is not discussed again! Why would anyone want to know such intimate details about a stranger's hygiene? Particularly on a mixed-sex forum. It made me feel embarrassed.

Greatnan I am in complete agreement with you.
I don't want the world and his wife knowing intimate facts about me.

Who cares what the norm is? Being too interested has a touch of "If you show me yours I'll show you mine"

I like to swim too absent, so shave my legs as far as necessary to include the bikini line. My pubes and leg hair are still as dark and thick as ever, don't know where one stops and the other begins!
I have recently bought a 'boyleg' swimsuit which has shorts-like legs, a bit more flattering for the baggy thighs and hides any strays!

If you 'trim' (I presume that means shave) your "lady garden", won't the effect sometimes be a bit... well... hedgehoggy?

I'm sure this has been discussed before and I have no interest in anyone else's intimate habits! Why should I? Prurience?
