Help me convince dh this is normal....

[peanutter]

I don't want my vagina to be cold.

She needs her coat.

The only thing I've ever waxed is my eyebrows, once, before my wedding.

[I'll shave bits and pieces as and when I want to - with a razor, for myself ... I don't like being bare down there - too itchy growing back, and DH didn't like it at all ... ]

[LionsandBears]

I get Brazilians and have for years but I'm getting over it. I like the underneath bit hair free, because I feel cleaner that way, but am trying to grow something back over the mons area. Bring back the bush

this whole obsession of being hair free like a porn star is creeping me out. I wouldnt let it run free, because otherwise it would be down near my knees, but I don't want it to be bald either.

[feeb]

I have about 6 times had Brazalians. I did it to see what all fuss was about and also for a few specific reasons.

I don't otherwise do anything as no time, too lazy and OUCH it hurts!!!!! I also figure it is not exposed to other people like legs and underarms so not an issue (I wear pants a lot as too lazy to get legs waxed half the time!)

[lilima]

As much as I would like to, I can't. I get killer ingrowns!

[nothing2lose]

I read an article the other day which stated boys of a particular age thought women had hairless genitals (as in that is their natural state!). Down to porn apparently. I find that alarming.

I'll see if I can find it.

I have been having brazillians every 6 weeks since I was 17. It has been killing me not being able to wax post c section but ive finally booked in to have it done on Thursday. Im seriously thinking about leaving a bit thought and not going the whole brazillian. hmmmmm

[Taurean]

I use to like to be trim (or bald) prior to kids but now I couldn't care less, I have far too many other things to be concerned about! I'd prefer to spend $70 and half an hour of my time on a relaxing facial rather than a painful wax!

I shave my bikini line and trim myself to keep things tidy but as far as Brazllian's go these days, I think I've only had 3 in 4 years and two of those were just prior to the birth of both my DDs.

Yes I read this too and I also find it incredibly disturbing, sad, and infuriating.

I think your DH is taking too much stock in porn tbh. Has he had many sexual partners? I just find it strange that a grown man doesn't realise that the majority of women have hair on their vulva.

I've recently started getting brazilians. For me, not DH. I exercise a lot these days and find it feels nicer and less sweaty to be waxed. But I get a few ingrowns despite proper care so I might go back to trimming.

Interestingly, my DH's preference is not only for hair, but a pretty healthy bush lol!

[Artechim]

I've never really given my pubic hair much thought. The only person that would really ever see it is DH and if he doesn't like it well…tough!

I am certainly not having some stranger poking around at my bits ripping my hair out!

I thought that people that wax would be the minority? Interested in a poll.

[KittyK]

I go through phases of having Brazilians then just trimming. Depending on how I feel. Just to reiterate its how 'I' feel. If my DH told me to go get a Brazilian I'd tell him to go jump lol. Don't think he hasn't tried, but my subsequent lecture convinced him to keep his trap shut.

At the moment I'm just trimming, ever since pg and morning sickness way too lazy to go anywhere.

[jellybean88]

My dh keeps asking me to get a Brazilian I just tell him ill do it if he does it lol and I know he never will
But I do shave the bikini line and trim the rest with an electric trimmer or fully shave every now and then purely because I like it that way but I think my poor vagina has been subjected to enough with 2 kids

[Arcadia]

I feel I have to be a good role model for my kids and help them see adult women have hair in their vulvas. I trim in summertime on the rare occasion I go swimming, but I prefer to keep it as natural as possible.

Dh doesn't really say anything

It makes me sad that porn has influenced people's view if women's bodies so much. Seriously, plastic boobs, no hair, no long labia, no body fat etc. it's bad for men too, but they are the target audience so I don't feel sorry for them as much.

[Nai]

I would be concerned if dp found my vulva a turn on looking like our young daughters. Children don't have hair, women do. I find it quite disturbing really on many levels. So in response to your dp, I don't think it is "normal" to be hairless.

[Heaven]

Normal. I am a woman, not a girl. Having no hair down there, and DH being turned on by it, would creep me out.

[Rowellen]

What N2L said. And besides - ouch! And it looks gross growing back (especially with my tiger stripes lol!). No brazilians here.

[Artechim]

Porn is getting a lot of blame for the desire for hairless pubic areas, but the only time I have ever thought that maybe I should remove my pubic hair is when I was having my first child and *everyone* on BB was talking about how they had removed or at least trimmed the area prior to the birth. I think there is more pressure from other woman and doing what everyone else does and the implication that if you have a hairy muff then you are not as clean/tidy than the next woman.

[Calluna]

I Havent touched mine in months. I am slightly embarrased to admit that I have the odd pube growing on my inner THIGH.
Usually I would trim it and pluck out the strays with tweezers.
Like once every 6 months

And Ive never had a complaint. My body, my choice.

[nickle730]

As the mother of a daughter who will soon start growing pubic hair, I want her to know that hair on a vagina is completely normal. I trim occasionally and check my bikini line if I am going to wear a bikini, but other than that I'm natural. I have had Brazilian's in the past and I found it exceptionally painful - not to mention awkward! My DH doesn't care either way, although if they get to the point that they need to be plaited he might mention it!
