How often do you shave down there?

Just curious, cause I was at a doctors appt today getting an ultrasounds and they do the usual thing where they tuck the towel into your pants and pull them down a little off your waist. And at first I got a little self conscious cause I honestly rarely shave my vagina lol maybe like a 2 times a month. And then I was like actually she might see that more than I think and then I wondered what the norm is for shaving down there. I'm curious if I'm in the minority. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

I’m lasered. Brazilian and underarms. When I did shave I shaved like twice a week. Glad I don’t have to anymore coz I hated the upkeep and I like it bare. I didn’t shave for long before I got waxed anyway, got waxed for years and then got laser.

I feel that! Hahhahaa I hardly ever

It’s full bush summer baby.

I don’t. Ever.

I never shave or wax, too much work.

But I’ll say this, as pregnancy goes on you’re probably not going to be able to, too hard to reach. And someone will be all up in your business when you give birth. At that point caring is not going to matter. Even if you’re shaved, you will basically pee and poo yourself as labour goes on, unless you have a c section.

Once when I was 15. Never again lol

Avatar

Never! Sometimes I’ll trim it, but I hate that it only feels and looks nice for a day. Plus, I hate shaving my legs so I’m not adding more annoying places to shave. They’ve seen it all so don’t worry about it!

Avatar

Never shave, I use a hair trimmer to trim it down every now and then.

Avatar

I wax every 6-8 weeks

Avatar

I probably shave 1-2 a week

Avatar

I get terrible ingrowns but I do shave once every two weeks. I get super itchy and uncomfortable when I don’t. Also maybe tmi but I have to have like the hairiest ass crack ever so I have to keep up on that.

Avatar

I would switch to waxing. It’s a game changer.

Avatar

As an ultrasound tech, hair or no hair, doesn’t matter to us! Just an FYI :) don’t feel self conscious.

Avatar

Special occasions. Which are rare šŸ˜„

Avatar

I shave at least once a week but there's plenty of women that don't. They see everything so there's no need to be ashamed of anything

Avatar

Everyday I hate the feeling of hair, and hate feeling prickly

Avatar

Never. I love the full bush!

Avatar

Only when im getting some vitamin D šŸ† ! other than that Im not shaving/ waxing lol

Avatar

Used to do it daily before having my baby. Now twice a week as baby is 5 months and I usually only get a few mins each morning to shower so it’s just the basics. But twice a week, I get a full maintenance shower lol

Avatar

I wax once a month

Avatar

I use an electric trimmer once it’s at a certain length. I don’t like it bare though I feel extra naked and exposed lmao

Avatar

Trim every 4-8 weeks

Avatar

Just shaved after like 6 months šŸ˜… it use to be every week but being 34 weeks pregnant I just cannot it’s too much 🫠

Avatar

every 4 days lmao otherwise it gets way too itchy 🄓

Avatar

Daily.

Avatar

I’d be sooo itchy if I shaved. I prefer waxing and when I was pregnant with my second I didn’t reallly keep up with it so I was hairy I don’t think it matters much ā˜ŗļø

Avatar

For those of you shaving daily or multiple times a week I’m super curious what razors you’re using because I would be torn to shreds and bumps all over if I didn’t let it grow out a little before shaving again šŸ˜…

Avatar

Lol I cannot reach now ,now it's just a trim if I'm lucky šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Avatar

I don’t shave, I get waxed once a month and it’s amazing!

Avatar

Never šŸ˜…
Just a trim every couple months

Avatar

I'll periodically shave around the perimeter so it looks a little nicer šŸ˜… but usually keep the rest as is or trim it down a bit

Avatar

Don't shave then either. When I do swimming I wear long shorts because I absolutely cannot stand though chaffing
And it's been many years since I've worn sexy lingerie haha

Avatar

they probably don’t. That’s why they don’t shave lol

Avatar

what a bold assumption. You can trim the hair, wear bottoms that are more covering, or just let your body exist as it is. Body hair really isn’t some shameful thing we need to hide away if we don’t want to.

Avatar

Coura and Kat above answered her question. They wear shorts. They don’t wear bikini-revealing swimwear. I wasn’t assuming. I was replying after reading 2 replies lol. And Coura hasn’t worn sexy lingerie for years. Who’s assuming??

Avatar

For the record, back when I wore bikinis and lingerie, I didn't shave then either 🤭
Just a little trim around the edges so it didn't stick out in the bikini (partner had to deal with seeing hair)

Avatar

sorry! I totally misread that. I thought you meant that they don’t wear lingerie or swim. I see what you’re saying now. Again, so sorry!

Avatar

šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø I exist with hair the same way I would without it. Nobody should be heavily focused on my pubic area

Avatar

i prefer to keep all my body hair. when I go swimming I wear a regular bathing suit. Idk if pubic hair is visible. probably?? My lingerie is still sexy with body hair. My husband thinks it’s sexier actually lol I feel feminine with body hair since it is naturally grown by my body. When I had a c section the nurses shaved EVERYTHING and I hated how it looked and felt. Couldn’t wait for it to grow back I felt naked lol

Avatar

Tried shaving once and aside from being indescribably uncomfortable, the look of it just made me think of homer Simpson and I hated it šŸ˜‚

Edit: Also that's wild they shaved everything for C section 😱
They shaved maybe an inch line for my C section

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

(If you’re going to reply please keep your responses respectful and polite.)

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
ā€œShe trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pillā€
