Do you trim your "lady garden"?

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

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

Told you I can never remember anything!

Going back to read it now.

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!

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

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

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

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

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!

Hello, and welcome, jayceecee!

Good post jayceecee .Welcome. Hope to hear a lot more from you.

Hello jayceecee! A brave post for you to start off with ! Welcome.

Hi and welcome - easy peasy after that post jayceecee.

I like a regular wax, no hardship. I do swim 3 times a week. No spiders for me! Thanku

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 !!

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!!

Gives you a buzz does it busilizzie

Hmm I remember my DH doing mine when I had our first baby - never felt the need to repeat the experience

We went through lots of minor indignities in 'the old days' during labour. didn't we? Apart from the shaving there was the compulsory enema which I definitely didn't need as having diarrhoea was my first sign!

Still, at least stirrups were not still compulsory!

Oh, and I've just remembered the stitches. A (very) junior doctor sitting on a sort of milking stool with a spot light pointed at the 'area'.

I remember that too kitty. My stitcher was a very gentle little Indian Doctor in a lovely silk sari under her white coat. I was a bit befogged from all the gas and air and asked her "Do you do a lot of sewing at home?". Cue laughter all round!

Do you remember being told to take salt baths twice daily to heal the area?

Yes, and I developed an abcess despite them...

Who ever had time, energy, inclination etc etc to take two hot salt baths every day when they had just had a baby.

Kitty My children were all born in Hongkong and everyone stayed in for a week - it was bliss. Except that with no 3, I was sharing a room with a woman who was given to alternative remedies and I went to have my hot salt bath to find it strewn with tarragon leaves or some such

Surely there is a difference between what you talk about with your friends in private, and what you are willing to discuss on a forum that can be read by anybody?
