Women, how do you prepare for your gyno appointment?

I use the Norelco Body Groomer for both my wife and myself. It works great, it is designed for use with body hair so it usually does not pull or cut you. Go slow and be careful. I still have to be extra careful with the scrotum because of the loose skin but when I am done it is all smooth!

Only tried shaving for the first time last year when my sister-in-law revealed that she shaved and suggested I tried it. I was nervous about cutting myself especially the scrotum so she volunteered to do it for me. Quite an experience, especially the first time, after that she 'freshened it up' for me when ever we had the chance and I'll admit I enjoyed the cool, smooth feeling.

Reading about all of these methods and the problems with them really makes me glad, no ecstatic, that mines permanently gone! I love smooth feeling and wouldn't ever want it back. It serves no purpose in the modern world!

Your sister-in-law shaves your scrotum? There has to be more to that story that you'd like to share.

He clearly says she shaved him. Oh my!

I would gladdly allow my sisters in law do it for me. Wouldn't let it go any farther than that because my brothers would kill me. Come to think of it, they probably would for the shave anyway.

That's what I call a close family.

When my doctor did my exams this year my vagina was completely hairless and smooth, he didn't say anything about it but he was smiling at me and was sort of blushing when he opened my legs and seen my vagina

I always wonder what was going through his mind when he seen my vagina that day lol

The vagina is always hairless.

It's the vulva that has the hair! 😁 😁 😁

Shaving and cutely shaped landing strips are so common now, nobody really pays attention.

As a physician I can say unequivocally that we have seen it all. Hairy beyond belief, shaped into any imaginable form, hairless and tattooed. I don't even give a second thought. It's wishful thinking to imagine that the doctor blushed.

True, Susie, that's what I always say!

I believe that each woman's vulva is as unique as a set of fingerprints.

I agree totally that ladies da kines are exquisite frequently. However at the risk of being repetitious I will say again. I never allow myself to go there. It would distract from the business at hand and it would be unethical. I have no luxury of letting my mind wander. The stakes are way too high.

When I went to the GYN recently, I was very very bushy. I think my GYN was expecting shaven and the look on his face was of surprise. He did spend some time looking through it, which I secretly enjoyed

I like very very bushy indeed. Perhaps I'm very old fashioned.

That's cool and all, liquidsky. I think you have mentioned that already. Now anyone who gets examined by you will know what you prefer to see.

Anyway, the interesting thing is that bushy genitals are technically not old fashioned. In some cultures, people were already shaving their genitals thousands of years ago. So, either way is a tradition. Some people think that just because bushiness was common in western societies in the 1970s, genital grooming did not exist before then. But the truth is, grooming of all kinds has existed for a very long time.

My wife shaves a day or two before her gyno exams. Her doctor hasn't ever commentate on her shaving.

HC I never formulate opinions about the state of my patients pubic hair status. I could care less. I'm only here to provide good care. My own preferences extend only to my social life which is totally different. The two are separate entities in my mind.

Hi Jimmyjohnson, Switchablesusie, Doc Rob, Liquidsky and Stickitin2me2000.

I've just revisited this topic and realised my contribution has caused a bit of discussion. Yes she did shave me and I have answered and described how it all came about to a few people who have contacted me and asked about it. As it has been suggested here that it needs further explanation I think the best thing I can do is put it down in full and post here or as a new post and leave a notice here when I've done that for anyone who wants to read it.

Some weeks ago I commented in the Forum topic 'To shave or not' that my sister-in-law had shaved me and I noticed the other day that a few people had debated what I meant so I've submitted a full account under the title 'Shaved by my Sister-in-Law' hope this will make everything clear.

I've gone for exams both natural and shaved.

Never a comment on either.

I'm guessing that shaving is so common now, physicians and nurses think nothing of it.

C.

Nurses, nursing assistants & yes even physicians at one time did the shaving so I cant really see the difference...They have seen it all anyhow

I had my first exam with my private gynecologist last month and I had my pubic hair. On that morning my husband did what I usually ask him to do and just tidied me at the edges at the front.

My gynecologist did not say anything but I think he had a quick look at the skin underneath the hair when he examined my pussy externally.

I do not think I will be asking my husband to shave me next time either.

I have been bald for years and my OB-GYN has never commented on it.

Shaving is so common now that I can't imagine any gynecologist commenting on it. My wife has gone in with her natural pubic hair which today is probably the exception rather than the norm for her age. Her pubic hair is inspected during the external exam and nothing is said about it.

Would be kinda embarrassing if not....

Jules Green why would be embarrassing if you had not shaved? I wasn't.

I have been shaven since I was 15 and no doctor has ever commented on it.

"I have been shaven since I was 15 and no doctor has ever commented on it."

No Mazzie they will not comment on it and anyway they will always see lots of shaved women so it is not surprising to them. I was 18 when I asked my future husband to shave me but it is not often that I get shaved. I think having my pubic hair suits me and it feels better than the irritation of being shaved. I know my husband likes it too. I just like him to trim me at the sides so it does not show outside my thongs.

I always prefer to completely shaved. It makes me feel more attractive and more relaxed.
