    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I'm 19 and I do discuss this sort of thing with my friends... not one of us would consider going au naturel and we all get regular waxes or shave.
    I've personally been shaving it all off since I was 14... just decided I didn't like having hair there and that was that.

    How can you see it all when your shaving down there, is it easier to lie down or stand up? Also do you need preparation cream before shaving and a cream to prevent ingrown hairs? Doesnt it itch when it grows back? I find this a very interesting subject. I normally keep mine closely trimmed and tidy but i am getting quite curious about how it would feel completely shaven.( I would love to know mens opinions on how they prefer their partner to be down there). I personally would find a man that shaves any part of his body a complete turn off. I find it very unmasculine indeed!

    The epilator for down below?
    Did it hurt?
    Just the front bit? How low do you go?

    I trim (a number 1 with a hair trimmer) then have the excess sides waxed to bald. But I'm curious about the bald look now:p

    I like to be fuzz free as hairless feels cleaner, but never been brave enough to go completly fuzz free down below because of stubble worries:o I guss an epilator is a bit like a handy home waxing session without the hot wax or the expense or effort of going to the salon, just whip it out & do it little & often - I may be getting one:T

    LOL at this thread!!!!!!!!:rotfl:

    I'm early 30s and just trim it with a pair of nail scissors. It looks fine imho and I've never had any complaints. :D

    I'm naturally blonde and not that hairy, though. If I were dark with hair halfway down my leg I'd probably use more drastic measures!!! :rotfl:

    I've shaved it for years, just leave a very thin landing strip. I hate being hairy down there but must admit that the majority of the women in the gym changing rooms don't appear to bother with much more than a slight bikini wax if anything.

    Was laughing at Sean Lock on the Comedy Gala last night talking about his wife going to get waxed, he said she shouldn't have a Brazilian because we're in Britain, she should have a 'full English' - he said they put hair ON for that one, it's like having a doormat between your legs! :rotfl:

    Howling with laughter, I have tears running down my face :rotfl:
    God, men are such wimps!

    I too, have read that funny yet informative review article on Amazon. I also use Veet hair removal cream on my unter-wagen but I use it stealthily... don't overdo it time-wise and a second coat usually does the trick...!
    I hope I'm not hijacking the thread but I did see a few posts asking for a blokes opinion on this hair removing thing and I 'veet' mine every 6 weeks or so... slight irritation sometimes but nothing major and it feels great...! I have no idea why, it's just something I've done for years... pubes make me incredibly itchy and I'd rather spare myself the embarrassment of scratching all the time. I scratch in my sleep and the OH say's it's really annoying when the 'grass has grown'...! I am now standing ready to deflect any abuse that gets thrown my way...! Do your worst...!!
