LOL. I like your post very2 much. I've heard a lot of opinion about ' creating the perfect pubic coif' using different kind of hair removal method. Shaving, hair removal lotions, or waxing? LOL. I need to try all those methods! Keep on good posting. :)

You have definitely convinced me to try it.

I have shaved about once a month for years. Just enough to keep things manicured. Now since I am pregnant and can't see down there it has been less frequent, but my husband has been a trooper. Always willing to lend a helping hand, or mirror. Last week we tackled the chore at 30 weeks pg and it was quite comical.

As soon as this baby comes out and I get a time, I have found a classy establishment about 1.5 hours away and off I will go.

You crack me up!

Totally with you on this. I had been shaving bald for years until I got pregnant. It's easier and it's actually more hygenic.

Now I can't see what I'm doing and I feel it's a bit dangerous to be weilding sharp objects down there. But I promise you that as soon as I deliver this child and have time for personal hygiene, the bush is going again.

I think you're one of my favorite bloggers, really for a million reasons but a few of them being: you're funny, you're brutally honest, you're what some people would call "vulgar" (I wouldn't say that... I tell it like it is and I curse like a sailor - or construction worker which is the field I work in), you have no problem talking about pubes (personally shaved - since I was 17... am wanting to do the waxing but still embarrassed and scared) and you're one of the few women who deal with a husband who has a lower sex drive than herself and YOU TALK ABOUT IT!! BIG SLOPPY KISSES to you for THAT!! Oh, and you're beautiful in so many ways! Have a great day!!

This was hysterical.

But I had to lie to my 11-year old when she asked me why I was laughing and tell her I was reading an article about 'hairstyling.'

Well, it's half-true.

no all fours either. i think i did the modified brazilian.

maybe an "argentinian?"

LOL

I became a shaving addict about a year ago, but hate the 5 o'clock. I'm not scared of waxing, just embarassed by my post traumatic birthing parts and lumps.

[mel]

okay, maybe not legs in the air...did you have to get on all fours, though? I am a modest weenie.

I have a friend who swears by the laser hair removal method. Her Gyno performs the hair removal. And the result? A lifetime of hairlessness. I had heard about the method originally because of all the "Hair Removal Clinics" down here in South Florida. We are probably 2nd only to Southern California for such things. Originally, I was dubious, but after her glowing recommendation, I think I might get onboard the hairless hooha train. And I love the idea that a gyno would do it. (And a female one at that.) After all, who knows hooha better than a gyno. Great post!

Legs in the air? Hmmmm... I missed out on something then.

[mel]

I commented over at the article.

I still just can't bring myself to do the wax thing. It's not the pain. I can do pain...it's the legs in the air and spread 'em. Cringe.

And Brad's comment cracked me up. :)

[ali]

waxing is no big deal. yes, hurts while it's happening....but the pleasure it brings for week afterwards make it soooo worth it!

[brad]

in-law stories be damned! these are the posts that keep...ahem...some of us coming back.

y'all are the best!

If you get a wax, don't make the mistake I did! Exfoliate after you wax, daily, for weeks. Also use a product like Tend Skin to help with the ingrown hairs. Drugstore.com sells the product for cheaper than the fancier online stores. :-)

Great article!

Can the pre-wax Philly blogger get together involve prescription drugs and a whole lot of alcohol?

Because if yes, then I'll totally do it!

Maybe we should all go get a wax instead of bowling.

HEH.

Much love to you and your hairy bush, my sistah!

[Kelly]

Okay, I know you didn't write this with MY bush in mind, having never seen it, but really, I think some of you are underestimating the bushes of some of your fellow women. Specifically, hairy women of Mediterranean descent.

I'm reading Mom-101's comment, and thinking, yes, I did endure 27 hours of sleep-free, helacious labor, followed by a slice across the abdomen for baby retrieval. Sometimes, I think I could take a bullet in the thigh and still have a semi-productive day. That was a whole lot of pain, ya know?

But still, think of your bush and multiply it times 10, and then you've got mine. Yes, my lovely mongrel. She can be tamed, but it takes more than a bit of work. So you can see why I might be just a bit hesitant to succumb to the hot wax.

But still, thanks for the info, written only the way you can. Maybe for next Valentine's Day...if I can get up the nerve in the next 9 months...

Just read it.
HA. larious.

[BFF]

Oh no.
Here it comes...
I have fear in my heart.

[Mom101]

I love your point that women who have endured childbirth are like,"eek! The pain of waxing!"

Great article, mominatrix
