Do you trim your "lady garden"?

Not ashamed to say I find it quite interesting.Oh dear perhaps I'm some kind of freak!!I often wonder what newly qualified doctors make of the older woman's untended allotment !

Nonu, I'd rather be quaint than vulgar.

How quaint "Mice" .!

And frankly No I wasn't and am not interested.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say I skimmed much of it as I felt it would be unwarranted to criticise something merely on account of the OP.

Lol! Well, it was a lot less upsetting than the 'vaginal knitting' - now that really was TMI

Well, it wouldn't take you the whole 180-odd posts to work that out, surely? Plus, it isn't in the 'gardening' section...

I expect Soutra was like me. I had no idea what 'lady garden' meant. I thought it was probably a wild flower bed or a bower of sweet smelling plants.

Now I know, I wish I didn't.

Quite!

Soutra you say

"Frankly I could not be less interested in other people's personal habits ....."

but you "read through this thread".

So you were interested

I have read through this thread and I am sure it is all meant inocently, but clearly being a prude, I am finding it all TMI. It is like asking Do you trim your nose hair? Do you fold your loopaper of bunch it up?
Frankly I could not be less interested in other people's personal habits and wouldnt dream of inflicting my own on anybody else

Flowerofthewest She sounds lovely.

shame

but we evidently missed it then...

Just realised that the previous post to mine was 3 july. Why then was it on Active Posts.

Once walked in on a colleague who was standing legs akimbo across the little bin in the 'side' office trimming her bits. She didn't blink an eye just said 'It's like an f......g billy goat.' She was a bit rough around the edges but why wasn't I surprised.

She eventually left her husband with their life's savings and ran off with a murderer. She was writing to him in prison. She confided in me that she was going to run away. I asked what he was in prison for she replied 'He murdered his wife', 'Isn't that a bit risky?' I said " 'e's only done it once' was the reply.

Welcome mygrannycanfly and thank you for such an informative post.

I see I am very honest - and that is after proof reading, is ther no hope for me?

I have found this thread highly amusing to be honest but to be honest I agree that waxed bare has distasteful connotations; however I would be embarrassed about strays when swimming so do the minimum - I think thats probably what most women of my age do. I havent the time, inclination, funds or pain threshold to go through waxing by a (no doubt younger and more glamorous) stranger. But each to their own and as long as you do it for you, then anything goes I suppose [smiley]

Perhaps someone should tell the men Ana - most of them don't seem to be trying very hard

Surely evolution doesn't work like that? Men need to be attractive to women, not the other way round!

I was reading about some young girls who said they had to wear thongs because anything else would show under their skimpy clothes. I started to wonder what I used to wear under some of my sheer crepe outfits in the 60's ...... then I remembered - I didn't wear knickers

Surely if men found pubic hair unattractive we would have evolved into a hairless species by now .

This is a bit of a bizarre thread to post on as my first, but having enthusiastically signed up to gransnet as a proud grandma I was a little dismayed to read through and wonder at the tone in some of the posts – some of you could benefit from a chat with my Mum!

I agree that the prevalence of pornography has corrupted the cultural values of our society. But the enthusiasm for "muff taming" stems from the fashion for tiny pants. Young girls look forward to their first string or tanga pants as a right of passage and one that is less emotive than the first bra or starting to menstruate. It's several years and much prancing around in itsy bitsy pants at sleepovers later before young women start to realise that this isn't a terribly practical fashion. "Fortunately" the magazines are to hand with advice. "Depilation" rather than reinvestment in modest knickers is the preferred solution.

To respond specifically to Suzied: I run a beauty salon and I pay my rent with the demand for intimate hair removal. “Suzied” in my University town it’s a young girls thing.

In our age group the general rule is to make sure that your pubic hair is not particularly visible outside your pants. Either remove the hair or buy bigger pants. To reassure you, no-one over 55 seems to be practising extreme hair removal.

Everything off (Hollywood) is the dejour demand from students. A Brazilian is everything off except for a small Hitlerish “landing strip.” This is quite tricky to do, and should be done with wax by a very experienced professional. We do about 50/50 Brazilians and Hollywoods. Feedback from our loyal clients is that extreme hair removal feels really good to the wearer. It is painful, but not excessively so, and done properly, there should be fewer problems with infected or ingrowing hairs, rashes etc, than would be normal without any form of hair removal.

I remember my (then) teenaged daughter’s nagging about my “peacock quiff”. No doubt this explains the numbers of middle aged women we see in the salon for a more modest bikini wax – everything off up to the line of the knickers. These ladies trim the remainder at home.

My DH was disturbed and intimidated by this fashion when the ladies of the house began to take it up. He started to ask other men what they thought. All agreed that they preferred women to look like women not little girls ie some hair rather than none. We came across a pile of 70’s porn mags in a house clearance the other day and there was a distinct nostalgic gleam in DH’s eye as he flicked through. I suspect that a lot of nice chaps actually like a bouffant look but are afraid to say so!

I like to swim with my grandchildren so I agree with absent and do a little trim before I go

Hilarious! I've never been blessed with luxurious pubic hair and I think it might be part of being a ginger. Apart from the hair on my head which is still fast growing and not a speck of grey anywhere, all the other hair on my body has virtually stopped growing., which is rather nice. No-one mentions this as a thing that happens post menopause, but it can't only be me?
