Shave or wax or is there something new?

Ok here is goes - what do you ladies do with your lady garden these days? I’ve been single for over 8 years now, my kids are almost grown and I’m thinking about the dating scene. I would usually use hair removal cream but I think that’s as bad as shaving? My body has housed 3 kids so I already hate the way I look in the nude, but this is also holding me back because it’s something else I don’t want to deal with. What do you do?

When I was single I went to the effort to shave... I hated it. Picked up dudes who assumed becasue I was hairless down there that thought I was wanting the whole porn experience. I wasn’t and the first dude who tried to shove his dick up my arse found out too.

When I met my oh I had hair down there. It was trimmed and neat and looked after but there was hair down there. I have boobs and hair on my vagina any one interested in the porn look or the 12 year old look isn’t right for me. You know what, I got a call back and it turned into something more. The other guys were “one nighters” that weren’t worth my time.

I don’t do anything other than making sure my hairs don’t stick out the sides of a swimsuit in summer.
A friend swears by laser.

And my experience had been the same as the responder above. Any guy who expected me to be hair free was an asshole in more ways than just his expectation.
Any guy worth your time won’t care one way or another.

I have always been well maintained down there as I don’t like it, when the hair is long it’s hot and sweating and I feel gross. I swap between shaving and waxing, what ever I have time for. I prefer waxing, it lasts longer, comes back smoother and not as thick and it’s something I only have to do once every 6 weeks. My partner doesn’t really care what I have going on down there but would not go down on me if I had full bush, I don’t blame him as I wouldn’t want a face full of pubes either. I’m not really sure what the porn star experience is that others are talking about. But if the person your sleeping with tries to shove his dick in your arse, it’s not because you have waxed or shaved, it’s because he is a wanker. Good luck 🙂

I wax, my hair doesn’t grow much so it’s only every 4 months and I find it painless. I take the whole lot off.

IPL/laser doesn’t work for me.

Don't feel like this is something you HAVE to deal with because you want to start dating. Any guy that's worth the time of day won't care or expect you to be one way or another.

Groom however makes you feel good about yourself!

I hear laser is a good option these days though.

I got way over shaving and full shave would be so uncomfortable afterwards.i got a lady trimmer from coles. It's a lifesaver for me lol. It just trims it all back to I dunno like a mm or 2 and there is no risk of nicks or cuts. I love it. And if I want to be extra fancy I will shave around my bikini line but that still itches after a few days. I would love to try waxing or sugaring it all off but I'm too scared Haha plus I have an "outie" vagina and feel like it's not the norm and feel embarrassed Haha even though I know it is normal.

I used to shave. I hated the itchy feeling after a few days. I now trim it with my husbands beard clippers and I much prefer it

Just be yourself. Personally, the idea of a man that wants me to look like a 5 year old creeps me out.

Full on Brazilian here ! Been doing them for 25 years , even before they were popular . Cannot stand hair there . Not even the landing strip kind. I love it smooth , soft and silky . It also looks extremely pretty . So much better with sex too .

Laser hands down!
I wasn't a great fan of the Brazilian it comes with the package. I get them to skip it, the hair has grown back really fine and short (its been 12 months since the last Brazilian) Although it doesn't work on the blonde hair.
It cannot be seen and feels like fluff. I have been getting it for about a year and a half. Up to 8 weeks between treatments.

I wax myself. It’s quick easy and cheap. I couldn’t imagine shaving and dealing with the regrowth. I’m would go laser if I could afford it.
