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

I still think its a silly euphemism.

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. smile

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

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

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

Yes. Complete waxing got bad connotations. Not good.

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.

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

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

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.

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

A recent article suggested that a Brazilian or Hollywood is the norm. Is this true for older ladies? Has this been discussed before?
