A thread for the ladies

I shave down there and leave the top to grow, trimming once in a while. Best of both worlds. I prefer it. There's much more to sense without a thicket between me and him. Don't knock it until you try it, it's a whole other world...

Not knockin' it in the least. Shaving isn't that big of a deal - but I've often wondered about waxing. Saw a video of it online and it looked incredibly painful... After it's all done and over with I imagine it's probably pretty nice - but getting it done...

And I'm not knocking it for anybody else but me. I have tried it, and I really hated it! Not just the pain, but the way it felt day-to-day, the way it felt intimately (which was a subpar sensation), and the way, looking at it, I felt like I was looking at a prepubescent girl. Seriously, if it's anyone's bag (or, box) have at it! Different things feel (and resonate) differently with different people. But it just isn't for me.

I regularly shave the bottom and sides and trim the top. I've completely shaved a couple times - it's nice until it starts to grow back in and then I feel like I want to claw my cooch off because it itches like hell for a day or two. So, I much prefer my regular method.

I've thought about getting some stencils though, just for occasional kicks. I could have my very own hidden Mickey!

It's not so bad if you stick with it, as the hair comes out finer over time. But if you skip it for a few months and go back, you're starting all over. I can't stick to a schedule so I'm over it.

Also - never go cheap. Spend the extra cash for a decent place - and a decent person - to do the job.

Oh my gawd. Um...I've had this problem just from shaving my f'in legs, I can't imagine that itch.....anywhere else.

Seriously, I'd guess the past couple of years, after shaving my legs, when the hair starts to grow back it kills me. If I didn't stop myself I'd scratch my legs raw.

So, this is a thread for the ladies, can't we have some eye candy?

I shaved exactly once, and it was among the more horrible experiences of my life. It took WEEKS for it to stop hurting. I must have remarkably sensitive skin. I discovered that I can get a near-bald trim with a small headed trimmer, and I find that it trims to just past the point of sand paper, so best of both worlds.

I also tend to shave only when sexual contact is likely- when I'm single, I tend to let it do its thing. It makes for a more intense experience when I do finally get a little, um, attention.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Oh yeah, the full shave grow-back itch is HELL, and that's why I leave it long on top.

I've taken to getting my legs waxed lately- when I can remember to make the dang appointments. I've had a bikini wax and I think I need to find someone who will do a bit more. I'm not a fan of the bald bit, from either viewpoint, but ... I guess "under control" might be nice.

I have found I *can't* shave my legs anymore unless I want to spend the next month or so recovering; it itches *terribly* and I scratch myself raw. For some reason the growing-in from a wax isn't nearly as bad.

But if it looks like someone is holding a wig between their thighs, I suggest pruning.

Did you see the Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay hot tub scene?

I do tend to trim up, I see no reason to have wild hair all over the place. The sight of Robbin Williams with his shirt off is enough to make me wanna hurl. And yes, I tried the shave bit with my wife once, once. Double stubble! Yikes!!!! What a mistake that was!

I'm well manscaped myself, but shaved? No way. I don't like the shaved look on other people either. But of course, one shouldn't have the Sequoia National Forest growing in their pants either.
