Ladies: Your preference for your pubic hair for comfort, personal well-being and visual impact?

First question ladies. As you are today what would be, or maybe is, you preference to how you have your pubic hair when it comes to overall comfort and your own idea of personal well-being?

Second question. This could be in reality or purely hypothetically speaking, how would you like your pubic hair (or not) to look should it be as a visual impact for others to see. Also how you would ideally like it to look in your own eyes?

Woo! First reply!

I can answer both I’m more or less a single response: my preference would be that I were hairless from the eyes down with zero maintenance to be that way. When a woman gets to a certain age that takes a bit of work. Yes there are permanent solutions (laser) but they don’t work for me as my hair is too light and I’m not laying out that kind of cash for a less than 50% chance of success.

Given the reality of the situation my current is about the best balance between desired state, comfort and laziness. Current state is some fringe between my legs and the rest removed when I notice it needs removing.

@Nurse_Phillips

Fabulous first response and so educational for a mere man. I had no idea that light coloured hair was unresponsive to laser treatment.

Question (I am full of them on these subjects) have you tried removal creams, or is that another ignorant idea I might have.

So I take it that your idea in both scenarios is to be completely hair free.

?to you Dr Jack. Yes I’ve tried creams and they dry my skin out. I’m not at all comfortable with putting chemicals that strong on my skin, especially that close to mucosa ie my lady parts. Re laser they say the darker the hair the better the chances of success.

I like my pubic hair how it is, I have always liked it. I am dark and my pubic hair is dark and thick, I just do my bikini line but I do not trim it inside the line of where I will wear lingerie or a bikini. It is comfortable for me, and I do not get why some ladies think doing all the shaving is cleaner either. I just shower and I keep myself clean, ladies who shave need to do that too. It is just a fashion to shave but there are not medical reasons for doing it.

I would not change how my pubic hair is, I would just not need to shave my armpits if I could change that. 😁 lol

My husband likes my pubic hair just how I have it, he says it shows I have got my own personality and I do not do something just because a lot of other ladies are doing it. He is right too. I have gone nude on some Spanish beaches and lots of ladies who were nude as well were shaved so I think I was a bit unusual for being natural but my pubic hair looks pretty, I am confident about it and my body and I think it is ok if it makes men look at me. Yes I know it has got a visual impact and I have become a bit more daring about that I think.

@Amethyst makes a great point. I’m at the age where I style my pubis and more to please me, not anyone else. Younger women worry too much about what they ‘should’ do. Men need to appreciate the fact that they get to see my pussy at all vs telling me how to style the hair around it.

@Nurse_Phillips

Understand completely about creams, putting any chemicals on ones skin is not a good idea at all, especially in really sensitive areas like the labia etc. I am pleased you mentioned this as I had considered using a male product on my scrotum, not into complete shaving down there but like my scrotum smooth and not looking like and old walnut.

I purchased a little Laser tool for my wife some years ago when we were into topiary of her pubic hair, having seen it demonstrated on a TV sales show ; it is supposed to remove each hair individually a bit laborious for a lady to do but what a joy for a dedicated male partner 😉. Anyway it hasn't come out of the packaging in over 10 years.

With regard to your more recent post, I completely agree it should be up to the lady in how she looks and not do it to please some guy.

@Amethyst

I am probably quite rare these days in that I like both natural (maybe some slight trimming) and shaved complete. The beauty of pubic hair is that it can be all there one minute and all gone the next, only to return shortly afterwards.

Many years ago in the early 1970's when I was a young lad I spent a week with a group go friends down near Newquay and one day we were on this quite secluded beach and suddenly this vision of loveliness appeared walking towards us, completely naked. She had mid length wavy dark hair and had a pronounced tan with a trace of small bikini line, and the most beautiful inverted dark triangle. Back then it was quite normal to see girls & guys stripped off in locations like that as there was still a rather hippy theme about.

So yes a beautiful dark pubic covering is just stunning.

Hairy armpits such a strange thing. Even into the 1980's it was still very common for women to have them in countries like Germany & Italy. I had a girlfriend back in those days from Germany and she initially had under arm hair when we first met, but removed it when she realised that English girls were smooth there. Those who might remember there was a Eurovision winner back in the 1980's called Nena who appeared on Top Of The Pops and caused some sensation by having hairy arm pits.

@Doctor_Jack if your scrotum is anything like labia majora, I’d try that cream on a small spot before covering your boys with it. That stuff burns when you put it on your legs, never mind something more sensitive.

@Nurse_Phillips

Many thanks indeed, I think I will shy away from using that product as the boys are sensitive souls.

I prefer to be clean shaven and completely bare. I feel cleaner. No worries wearing a swimming suit either. My husband likes it as well. No hair in his mouth during oral sex. I also feel more sensitive.

Okay, I guess this is where I say what I said before...

I like to keep my area from my mound to my anus hair free. I like the way I look and how I feel. I will grow a landing strip if asked but I never want that full bush triangle.

All that spitting while being licked is annoying as hell.

And maybe being all clean and neat down there makes me look a bit younger as well.

Over all I've had no complaints from either male or female.

@Miss_Arkansas

That is the way it should be; that is being asked to have a "landing strip". A request can be made for something special but never demanded or expected.

Light or dark hair may I ask?

@Gmafoxy

I have to admit that giving oral to a super smooth vulva is exquisite, but on the other hand i have never had a problem with hairs in the mouth either. Sometimes there is a beautiful aroma from a freshly washed bush.

I used to stay completely shaved all of the time, and have just recently started letting the hair grow a bit and trimming it from time to time. To be honest, from a comfort perspective, having some hair has been better. I no longer have to deal with rough stubble or razor burn, plus the constant maintenance of keeping it fully shaved. My husband likes seeing a little hair there as well.

Clean shaven. Hair bothers me so much. Especially when you have to be in uniforms all day or when fighting a fire the turn out gear.

@Lauren92

Your husband has very good taste. I am partial to any look but have to admit that my current preference form a male perspective of how a lady could look is a close trim and neatly shaped.

As a matter of further interest who among you ladies who shave have issues with ingrowing hairs, and how do you deal with them?

Some kind of exfoliating is a must. I like a loofa. It’s natural and sustainable as well as gentle.

I shave my pubic hair all off. I've been doing it since I was like 15 or so. For me it's for comfort, I don't like hair at all.

@Tiggerbutter

I think that there are guys out there with receding hairlines who might disagree with you there 😉.

Seriously though, excellent response.

@Nurse_Phillips

Excellent and informative answer, as always.

I really like the reasoning behind the use of a loofa.

Do you find that it is a regular problem, or do the ingrowing hairs diminish over time?

I like the close trim look and feel myself. I’ve never experimented with any shaping, but perhaps I will sometime! I was fortunate not to have too many ingrown hairs when I fully shaved. They were a pain on the rare occasion that I did get them. I hated the harsh regrowth stubble though, and was always trying to shave frequently to avoid that.

When I exfoliate on a regular basis it’s not an issue. If I get lazy and skip it becomes one.

It must get very warm in the turn out gear especially so when dealing with some of the jobs you guys have to do.

Every day?

Stubble is an unpleasant factor no matter where on the body, so understandable.

I think it would be very neat shaped so that the groin area was smooth, I am weird as it is one of my favourite areas.

@Nurse_Phillips Every day?

No a couple of times a week in the shower. More if it’s summer and my skin is getting dried out. I moisturize daily after I shower.

When I met my husband I was shaved and remained so until perhaps 6 years ago when he asked me to grow back my bush. Well it came in fire engine red to which we went thru a series of cycles where he would shave me, grow it back, shave. After about the 3rd time, I told him make up your mind so for the last 4 years ole fire bush as been in place. He has been told if he shaves it, it is more than likely gone forever.

To be very honest I like having a bush , no shaving and really think It looks better with it than being bald. must not bother him either as he still gets on his knees and does his homework.

My wife and I prefer the same look, trimmed down to about ½ -¾ inch and clean shaven on the edges

I like the variety personally, but au natural is lovely. :-)
