We’re Talking About Waxing Your HooHah Again

06.21.10

I’m sorry, I know I’m redundant, but it’s not just me this time. This time Rebecca Woolf talks about shaving down there since… forever. This time, Daphne Brogdon says she sports the full bush. This time Maggie Mason blushes and admits to never having waxed, and never wanting to.

This is the eight hundred millionth time I’ve talked about getting waxed, but let’s be frank, it’s funny. Waxing is about the funniest thing women do.

To continue the conversation, here’s Momversation, and we’re asking what you do.

And P.S. I know it’s not a HooHah, but I’m getting tired of pervvy searches.

    I will neither confirm nor deny my grooming habits. I will only ask you this: Have you seen YOU DON’T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN?

    Well, I’m not very shy. Anybody who has ever read my blog more than twice knows I am the queen of TMI.

    I shave. I have always shaved ever since I was in my 20′s. I always ‘trimmed’ with hair cutting scissors as a teen and in my early 20′s then I went to full on bare after I was married the first time. I never did it for any sexual reason or even because my man wanted it that way, actually he didn’t like it bare, but it’s how I wanted it, so I kept it that way. I did it because it feels cleaner, it looks better, in my opinion, and most men do like it like that.

    Any man who is into watching porn is use to seeing women bare down there and most prefer it that way. Especially if a man is into ‘going down’ on his lady, most guys don’t want to have to dig through a jungle bush to get to the girly bits. I know if I were a man I would see the bush and tell her she just had to shave or we couldn’t be bed buddies.

    My 10 yr old daughter has been told that I shave down there. She asked me about pubes so I was honest with her. I also told her when hers grow in, if she doesn’t want to keep them she dosn’t have to. She can shave them. I am not going to force my DD to be bushy if she doesn’t feel comfortable with hair down there. She already shaves her legs and her pits so I guess the nether regions are next.

    I am like a hairless cat. I don’t want hair any where. I even shave my arms. I have no arm hair.

    So there’s my contribution to the pubes conversation. Let’s see how many other ppl are brave enough to comment on this one.

    Girl conversations just plain rock! I mean, really….you know guys just would NEVER talk about this kind of stuff! I hate having any hair (other than on my head or arms). I am a shaver of my armpits, legs and the “hoohah” because it feels cleaner, mostly. And I asked my husband openly what he thought about it. (Not because it mattered what he thought because I do what I want, but because I was curious!) He definitely likes it better shaved, too, especially when he decides to visit those “parts” in a close up and personal kind of way! ;)

    I said it before, I don’t shave anything. there are a million reasons (ok, maybe 3 or 4 reasons) why I don’t, but in the end, it’s because I don’t want to. My shower/grooming routine takes me about 2 hours a week, and I’m happy with that.

    I can’t afford to go get waxed – don’t think I would if I could, I can really think of better ways to spend my money. I did shave when I was younger, because I spent a lot of time on the beach and didn’t want pubes escaping from the bikini.

    I also don’t go (often) for pedicures or manicures, and cut my own hair. I’m a very low maintenance girl. My husband seems to be fine with all this. His ex was SUPER high maintenance, and I think he appreciates that I don’t spend a lot of time/money on upkeep. He also likes my fat butt. He’s a gem. :D If I thought for a minute that it DID matter to him, I’d probably shave again.

    Oh whatever anyone wants to do is a-ok. However, I don’t like looking like a 12 year old…so Iprefer trimmed hair on the mound. But the rest is smooth…no fun having a mouthful of hair! Hehe.

    Alright let’s get into this one. I shave…occasionally. Partly because of the time constraint that comes with pushing a toddler boy who never stops out of that hoo-hah but mostly because of the Italian-horse-hair that grows in my pubic region. I mean really? Do I have to have Italian AND Irish in my genes? Is that all the fairness I’ll get in this world? Thick and curly as shit?!

    It boils down to after having to shave the armpits, the arms, the legs, the toes, the top of the foot, and the chin and the ‘stache, I’m just too damn lazy to tackle the forest that leads to the lady cave.

    Waxing? Read: Thick, Curly Hair…think of the follicles. Gazinga! I did it once and it looked worse than leaving the whole she-bang.

    I hate the hair down there. Wait lemme me clarify. I hate MY hair down there.

    It wasn’t always like that. For many years I didn’t worry about it. It was there. No big deal. After my son was born, I shaved occasionally, but I still didn’t really stress over it. And then I started gaining weight. And guess where it settled? So now I have fat, balding girly bits! It’s not pretty.

    I got my first wax (a brazilian no less) a couple of years ago and it was weird. My aesthetician didn’t seem to be comfortable with waxing down there & the results showed it. I got someone new the next time though & it made all the difference. I was hooked. No more balding girly bits. I love it.

    I have to admit that waxing is pricey and it’s one of the 1st things I give up when money is tight. But as long as I can afford it, I will continue to wax down there.

    The reason why I wax (and just a bikini wax with a trim, thank you very much) is simple: I want to feel fully confident that there are no stray hairs poking out of my bathing suit.

    That’s it.

    I don’t wax or shave. I don’t wax because the pain scares the bejeezus out of me. I don’t shave because I have super sensitive skin and I’ll spend the next two weeks itching like crazy. Not very sexy. So I’m au natural by necessity mostly.

    I don’t believe the claim that “most men want women to shave”. Possibly men in their twenties, thanks to porn, have been brainwashed into thinking women don’t grow hair below their necks. This man likes a woman’s natural body; and the feel of a woman’s bush against one’s face is part of the fun of cunnilingus.
