help with shaving

[bhndblueyes88]

I used to use mine when I worked in an office with other people. You just empty it straight into the toilet and wipe it with toilet paper and reinsert, then give your hands a wash. Rinse it when you get home.

This is a similar product available in the USA

What does "ftw" mean, please?

Ah yah. diva cup sounds familiar.

And sorry, I should use proper English, really It's "for the win"

Um ok.

I have periods and I have full, natural pubic hair and I have zero problems.

Why? Because years and years ago I bought one of these woman-friendly, bank-balance-friendly, earth-friendly gizmos, and I've never looked back. I could NEVER now contemplate going back to tampons or pads.

ooooh I love my mooncup! I got really obsessive and made little charts and everything!

And they're also unavailable in the US Although I'm sure somewhere here sells something similar. They do look interesting, but I'm not sure they'd work for me (if I was still having periods; IUD ftw). My flow is usually rather heavy, and I'm at the university most of my day so having to rinse it out in a public toilet would probably be unappreciated by my classmates.

My flow was (still is first day) spectacularly heavy, but if it's inserted right, it doesn't leak. over the last year or so I've been able to chart how my flow has got lighter and lighter because you can actually measure blood loss.

well, everyone is allowed their opinion.

And how very kind of you to allow it.

Look, whatever you ladies do with your own cunts is your own business. There's no need to get so defensive in response to one man's preference for the natural, particularly when the world is now filled with plenty of males harboring the "ewwww, pubic hair!" perspective.

Haha - I'll keep that in mind.

*siiiiigh* you old fogies it's kind of like saying "awesome". It causes winning. It started with actions in sports, like "and that's a touch down, for the win!!!" and then video games picked it up like "and that's a kill, for the win!!!" Now it's just a general internet meme meaning something is awesome and causes winning.

in my usage. "IUD, ftw." IUD causes me to win at not bleeding like a stuck pig every month.

Just thought I'd add a (short-term) pictorial fillip to the discussion. One plus to going gray is that one can be quite hairy without all of the hairyness being readily apparent.

And I'm with JM on this one: I'm very curious about the OP's motivation.

I'll keep my box open.


ahhhh the old corny lines are the best!

who you calling old, bitch!



I just don't do sport. virtual or real.

I guess you are too young for an ablation. saved my sanity that did.

You, you're who I'm calling old he he

My bleeding was pretty heavy, but there wasn't a great deal of cramping involved. Not worth treating anyways. It was just messy but yah, even if they'd let me have one, I'd pass. Boy wants spawn.

((Just to keep people from jumping to the conclusion and start brow beating me, I'm not preserving my fertility to have kids just because my boy wants kids. I'm pretty neutral on the matter of reproduction and could be happy either way. In other words, I'm not changing my decision based on my boy, just putting his preferences into decision-making pro/con flow chart. Hmm. I feel kind of silly just calling him boy. He's anything but. ah well. no need to change my diction now))

I think doing anything that would adversely affect fertility is silly unless you know for sure (as I did) that sprog-popping is no longer on the cards. IUDs were contra indicated for me, so the ablation was a life saver, though it took an age to start kicking in.

Well, given the fact that it took like 4 tries before I didn't read that as "when you ladies go down on your own cunts" an my mind promptly going to that someone special, I think my libido might just be rising from the dead.

LOL - back to the discussion at hand... or fingers or tongues, as the case may be... My response really wasn't meant to sound defensive. For a really long time I swore I'd never shave. After I did, and after I gave it a few months, it would be really hard to go back. And all for very practical purposes. The top of the list being heat rash. I'm a heavier girl and have fought heat rash for years in that area. When I shave there's a small flair up maybe every two months or so that's gone within two or three days at most. A months of no shaving and it's a huge flair up that is incredibly painful and it takes forever to get rid of.

And the sensations of one of my People playing across that particular patch of bare skin... The sensitivity is amazing!

Sorry I wasn't really meaning to sound defensive about the cunt-shaving. was more trying to explain that there are reasons to prefer to stay shaved that have nothing to do with the "personal hygiene industry"

 

[NomadLady]

Considering

the picture on the profile of the OP do you think he wants to be perceived as the "youngoffice girl" instead of the "youngofficeguy" and that is the reason for hair removal?
If so, I'm sure the GLBT forum might be the better place to ask this question.

I didn't feel like I was being defensive, but on the same time I'm not sure you're addressing me. LOL I was just stating why I, at the very least, cut short my hair. I don't go for the whole 'it looks nasty to be hairy' or 'it's more attractive to be bald' thing. For me it's really just a cleanliness thing.

As for that cup thing, I have a VERY VERY heavy flow (i go through a super absorbent tampon an hour for the first three days - yes, I've had it checked out and no, there isn't anything wrong). I normally use pads, especially at night time, cause they absorb more and I can get a couple of hours of sleep at a time before having to change things. Plus, when I sneeze I push tampons out, which can get obnoxious and (in the case of allergy attacks) expensive.

 

[bhndblueyes88]

OOOooooo Did you know they make ULTRA tampons now???? They're a bit thicker than my thumb

 

[midwestyankee]

What happened to the OP? Did he die of a waxing gone bad?

 

[Aurantica]

If your hair isn't too thick, try Nair once a week.

There is plucking of course. But that can take forever and be quite painful, though it will last a while since you are removing it from the roots.

If you have thick hair, then you may have to stick with shaving. Or put up with the hair until your next waxing. (Keep in mind that usually the more you shave, the thicker and coarser your hair can become.)
Edit:
(i know people say this is not true, but for me, the hair at the bottom of my legs (just above my ankles) came back darker/coarser. And not just because i can see as its coming out of the follicles either. i've had to go a few weeks without shaving my legs before, and the whole length of the hair is darker. i know this because i have naturally blond hair, and that is the only place i would ever say my hair is dark. Every person is different.)

I've got that too. Pain in the ass but at least the rest is pale...

 

[catalina_francisco]

Epilators work great if you don't want the trouble of waxing.

And as to the hairy men discussion, the hairier the better IMO..backs and all.
