    Never have removed the hair there and shocked that so many seem to have bought into the idea that somehow hair is dirty and or not natural! :eek: However it's a personal choice, just not mine.

    Would love to know when this became the 'norm'

    Oh... this thread has reminded me of when my husband decided to keep me company while I was was waiting to be called in for an appointment at the gynaecology clinic last year. We turned up a little early, before they were even seeing their first appointment, and found that plenty of others had had the same idea. Without thinking (as usual!), my husband said 'There are a lot of eager beavers here this morning!'. The floor never opens up when you want it to :)

    I'm mostly 'all natural', especially when the medics have an 'appointment to view' coming up. I can't help feeling that any pruning down there will just draw attention to it. I know it's silly - it's not as if they're judging Chelsea Flower Show. On the other hand, I wonder if they're fighting off mental images of the scenes from 'The Invasion Of The Triffids' while they're down there.

    With another round of gynae appointments due to start in a few weeks (and hubby staying at home!), it's interesting to know how everyone else approaches the delicate question of knicker shrubbery :)

    Lol my DD saw me in the buff today (she's 3) and she asked why I had hair in my bottom (as in the lady garden) :rotfl::rotfl:
    I trim, no waxing or shaving or epilation. I find a small beard trimmer does the job nicely ;)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Christ almighty! Mine is all natural apart from the odd trim every few months! I did have it waxed once :@. Never again and it put OH off as well; he likened it to a prepubescent pudenda and he wasn't going there!!

    Why is au naturale considered dirty?? It's cleansed at least twice daily (joys of a bidet) I have often wondered ( a la Billy Conolly) whether it would reach my knees if I didn't trim it :)

    I know what you mean about drawing attention to it, when i was pregnant with dd1 i did wonder if maybe i should grow some back as i was worried it would just look more......how to put this......in ya face!:o But i needn't of worried though as the state of my lady garden was the last thing on my mind:rotfl:

    au naturel, late 30's and never had any complaints, surprise or suggestions that it be otherwise from anyone who's got close enough to know!

    I've never shaved it, although I do trim it with scissors. I let it grow for a few months over the winter and I must say I quite liked the cushioning effect. I couldn't help twiddling with it though.

    I don't know. I started shaving from my teens, no one influenced me i just didn;t like the feeling of hair. Plus i suffer with heavy periods and would find the blood would matter in the hair:eek: I felt so much more cleaning when i shaved it:o I thought at the time i was in the minority and most people had hair but as it turned out alot of my friends at the time shaved too.

    Early forties. I do nothing to mine except tweeze any escaping stragglers prior to a holiday (when I'll be wearing a swimming costume). Hairy and ... well, not so much proud as not bothered!!

    what's marleyboy's view on that?!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    50 and i havent had any hair there for about 30 years. I just shave it off at the same time i shave my legs.

    yeah me too, 2 birds and all that. I just feel cleaner without hair there so once or twice a week give it all a quick trim in my morning shower. a lot of people are talking about epilators - are they really that good? I'd be scared to put something electrical "down there"!
