I like my women NATURAL, damnit!

Thank you Diogenese, for that comment about us “naturals”.

**PS, for girls a little nervous about razors in that delicate area? I actually use “Sensitive Area” Nair. Use cocoa butter or vaseline for the soft bits and then cover with cotton balls.

Before trying this Do a TEST AREA FIRST ( I don’t want anyone having some allergic reaction)!

Anyway, the vaseline and cotton balls keep the more delicate skin from getting any Nair on them. Once you’ve done the test area (24 hours I believe, the instructions are on the bottle), then you can use the nair all over the areas you want to de-hair.

You don’t have to do it often, and there are no stubblies or red bumps. It’s very smooth and silky (and yes, more sensitive to a man’s touch). **

Yikes! I guess there’s sensitive skin, and there’s sensitive skin. Since leaving sensitive skin nair on for less than the recommended time horribly burned my underarms, I don’t think I’ll ever try your suggestion. The “testing an area” suggestion on the bottle isn’t really an accurate way to see how your skin will react, though, since it doesn’t harm my legs in the least.

Nah, I think a once-a-month trim is all that is required…then again, I’m not sleeping with anyone, so there’s no one to object

**“Landing strips” exist for the following reasons:

1. When waxing, it is best to get it over with quickly, so only the hair that would show when donning a bikini is ripped out, and the rest is mercifully left alone (personally, I trim it with just scissors).

2. It keeps a chickie from feeling like a late-blooming 12 year old.

3. If a woman has small tufts of hair growing from the inner tips of her labia majora, they are impossible to shave off without skinning her naughty bits. To leave the mons bare and have curls hanging down from below is just stupid (and probably strange-looking). Thus, the landing strip runs seamlessly into them and looks more natural. **

Ah! Thanks, Lola (and all you other ladies who were kind enough to share). The first and third reasons make a lot of sense, from an objective perspective. And, I’m sure the second makes sense from a subjective perspective.

My GF wears a G-string bikini, I can’t imagine her wearing such a small swimsuit without a shave. Nothing looks worse tham a thong bikini with hair sticking out!
I prefere her to wear the smallest suit possible, so shaving is required!

I shave anything that’s outside the bikini line, then trim what doesn’t get shaved. It seems to be a nice compromise. My husband doesn’t want me to go completely bare (and I think the itching would drive me crazy anyway), as he said it creeps him out, it looks pre-pubescent.

Generally trim, shave to accomodate swimsuit in the summer. Will occassionally even shave my legs, but only when I want to. Like other blonds, I’m blessed with precious little hair.

For those ladies who experience razor burn: I’ve found a product called Bikini Zone works wonders for me. I apply it directly after and the next morning and I’ve never had razor burn or itchy re-growth since. Hope that helps.
