I am going to suggest that most people stop giving a damn about what other people think in their 40s and do what makes them happy. You do you.

Is it that hard to grasp that OP likes the look and feel and result of the wax but finds the actual waxing to be uncomfortable. But in the end a waxing appointment is only about 15 minutes of your life every few weeks so some people accept that uncomfortable 15 minutes for a long term solution to unwanted hair.

Then why is she writing?

To see if other women have just gradually had their hair thin or what to do about skin getting more sensitive. She isn't saying she wants permission to be hairy. She in fact is saying she wants to remain groomed there.

Braun IPL for home. look for an Amazon sale. lifechanging for the bikini line...

OP, I am only 46 but I have heard that eventually the hair there really does start to thin and intensive grooming is no longer necessary. That may be why you're seeing hairless 80 year olds!

Do women ever stop getting bikini waxes? (assuming you were someone who once got them, vs someone who shaved or went natural) Like does it become not necessary at some point because of hair loss, or does the skin get too sensitive?

I see many women 80s and older at the pool and they look groomed! Curious how this plays out as women age.

I never started

I don't get the OP.

I was seriously a hairy person but now nearing menopause, the hair down their has fallen off a cliff. It takes very little effort to groom with a razor now compared to my younger years.

Does a 60 year old really have anything to worry about? I'm not there yet but at this rate, the answer for me seems to be "no."

DP- you are lucky. No such thinning here and I’m in my 50s.

You should take a look at *how* she worded the title and post. Weirdly asking other randoms for permission instead of saying I hate waxing bc i am sensitive - what else is out there for me?

In my 40s here and I'd be so thrilled if it turns out my hair down there starts to thin at some point. I tried waxing in my 20s but hate having to have it done (I also hate seeing the gyno -- I just don't like people up in my junk!). So I shave and hate that too. I do have a few swimsuits that allow me to do nothing but they aren't that cute so mostly I just shave. But I hate it!

Definitely laser. It is quick and easy.

Stop with the body shaming. Plenty of women have never waxed in their lives, and plenty of women ahve never modified their body hair. I don't wax, I shave. Minimally.

The Braun at home laser thing did not work at all for me on my bikini line. I was very sad.

I’m 53 and will only do it if I’m going on vacay somewhere that requires a swimsuit. It’s so sparse now anyway it probably doesn’t even matter.
