Do you trim your "lady garden"?

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

EEEK!! I wouldn't let DH anywhere near mine. He's partially sighted but still insists on using a high powered hedge trimmer on the privet!!

I don't know what all the fuss is about. My partner performs the deed for me with his super efficient electric razor. Nice clean feeling, no straggly bits, and a good laugh !!

I have just sat here and read the whole of this forum and am amazed at the variety of views and opinions which is surely what GN is all about. I'm also a bit concerned about the number of comments saying this is not an appropriate discussion. Of course it is! Wouldn't we have these sorts of conversations over coffee? I would with my girlfriends.
The title is about 'trimming' not completeley denuding. I've been waxed and trimmed for more years than I care to remember and am pleased not to have pubic hair crawling down out of the legs of my swimming costume! I don't do it for a man, I haven't got one, it's clean, fresh, hygienic and aesthetically pleasing to me - when I can see it - as someone commented the stomach gets in the way these days. Interestingly my daughter disagrees and wouldn't dream of trimming her lady garden. I think the phrase is great and so does my 84 year old Mum.
Phew! First ever post and I've got a bit carried away!
Anyway....hello everyone!

First comment reminds me of my schooldays, I went to convent from 11 on and we used to host afternoon teas for the elderly now and then. One lady called me over and said " I know I am going to heaven because I must be an angel because all my hair down there has disappeared".

PS I tidy up for holidays

Absent -A Hollywood is the complete removal of pubic hair.

My lady garden seems to be self-pruning these days.
Less bush, more .. er.... straggly weeds!

What with tattoos, vajazzle and shaving - I'm almost glad I don't partake any more... Not quite, but almost...

Apparently the removal of pubic hair has led to the near extermination of the pubic louse. It seem that it evolved from the gorilla louse and needs hair like gorilla hair to live in. Not sure this makes me any happier about my "body" hair [confused}

I had never realised it would go grey - that was a bit of a shock!

Ella46 Fri 05-Jul-13 22:51:26

Told you I can never remember anything! grin

Going back to read it now.

Ana Fri 05-Jul-13 22:46:40

That's the one! No wonder I couldn't find it...hmm

absent Fri 05-Jul-13 22:42:41

I have heard of a Brazilian, but what on earth is a Hollywood?

j08 Fri 05-Jul-13 22:28:45

this one

j08 Fri 05-Jul-13 22:24:31

I'm sure I can remember it.

Ella46 Fri 05-Jul-13 22:23:32

I don't remember that one Ana no surprise there, are you sure it wasn't on Mumsnet?

Ana Fri 05-Jul-13 21:26:24

Actually, it seems like a misnomer to me. It isn't jazzing up or bejewelling one's vagina, is it? It's the mons again...confused

Ana Fri 05-Jul-13 19:10:33

At least, I thought we had - can't find it now! grin

Ana Fri 05-Jul-13 19:08:02

We had a thread about vajazzling not that long ago...

j08 Fri 05-Jul-13 19:07:17

I wouldn't trust it meself! hmm

j08 Fri 05-Jul-13 19:06:25
