Hairy question (and poll) ....;)

[Snacks]

I said when I can be bothered.
I have never had a professional wax done, like someone else said - it isn't the pain I'm worried about, just someone getting that "close" to me! I'd be mortified. It is one thing to have someone look at me while giving birth (I soooo didn't care at that point) but at any other time, my privates are for me and DH only.
Usually I trim and shave the edges - used to wax the edges but I can't be bothered these days and I never go swimming either so it is really just so that I look ok in my undies before whipping them off, LOL.

I prefer no hair down there at all. I get waxed and it all goes(no landing strip for me ).I've been hairfree for about 10 years now too. I asked my beautician a couple of months ago how common it is to be "bald" and she said they do on average 15 brazillian waxes per day. So thats pretty common in my book lol.

I don't think of myself looking like a little girl either especially with boobs,hips and of course my c/s scar

I'm so relieved...I was really starting to think I was the only one out there who didn't do Brazilians!

I used to get regular bikini waxes done - just the edges tidied up. Once I did a proper Brazilian and although I wasn't really embarrassed I thought it was just so ridiculous and undignified to go through all that for what I really believe is just a fashion trend at the moment. And the regrowth is just so UGLY.

I've asked DH what he prefers and he says he wants a woman, not a girl...so that makes me happy as that is my preference. Far less maintenance.

These days it is too hard to get out of the house on a regular basis for waxing appointments so I generally trim the hair fairly short with my shaver (I epilate my underarms and it has shaver/trimmer attachment) and just epilate the edges. Having said that though...I'm a bit overdue for that at the moment.

I have heard about a great razor called a Seiko clean cut which shaves so close it's like a wax but I still haven't investigated it.

I personally would find it a bit wrong if DH took all his hair off. And I loooove hairy men...like Tom Selleck...drool. I grew up in the 70s so I think a lot of it is conditioning... and I therefore believe "real men" look like the Australian Fast Bowler lol and I would love it if DH had more chest hair. I hate it when men wax their chests and whatnot...although I can't say I'm into back and shoulder hair, I want a MAN, not a boy.

DH would love it if I got a Brazillian done, but I havent, its just not me. I normally keep it tidy myself with scissors and a good razor.

I think I've had 2 bikini waxes ever - the first was when I was 37 weeks pg with DS (which reminds me i will need to book in soon) becuase I dont want to be shaved by someone else under any circumstances, so in the event of needing a c/s i want that prep work to be done already.

I havent shaved or waxed my legs since I was about 16, becuase I look like aplucked chicken for days afterward. I hav used depli. creams before but they always hurt or I got skin reactions.

Might give the Avon one a go though after reading this thread.
