Grooming styles changing?

[Anonymous]

I am 41. Went through six sessions of laser for my whole body. Have maybe 50% of the hair I had before. I trim what is left and once in a blue moon will wax if I want to be super smooth. I’m probably going to buy another laser package so that I’m completely hair less I’m middle eastern and not only do we tend to have a lot of hair - hence the many laser sessions - but we are also anti body hair probably because of the heat. Imagine being in a country where the heat is 100 F + in the summer with a bush lol.

I'm 54 and shave bare a few times a week.

I’m 46 and do what most of the above do (trim every few weeks, shave or wax anything showing if I’m in a swim suit).

When I was 12/1989, I distinctly remember an issue of Teen Magazine in my school library where a question was posed in the advice column from a young teen girl who asked if it was okay that her boyfriend asked her to shave everything off. The magazine responded that her boyfriend might be a pedophile and she should be very careful. Obviously times change, but that context is relevant to insane posts like the PP. Anyone who has as strong and inflexible feelings as the PP either has some serious body shame issues or a controlling SO.

You are displaying your own insecurities here. Some of us like real, natural bodies (myself amd my spouse included)

Completely bare. Lasered. Makes downtime fabulous.

I see you did groom today but forgot to take your meds. Not a good look.

I guess the same applies for guys with beards? You’re a quack for making such a statement.

Don’t a lot of men in the Middle East keep beards?

53 and I’ve shaved the sides off for decades just in the shower with a razor and shave cream. Gradually started going in more and more so now I have a rectangle. Don’t have much hair so no issues w/ regrowth or bumps.

Also cut any longer hairs w/ scissors.

Nah.

Mid 50's - tight trim, got the bikini line lasered years ago. I don't understand all of this silly talk about how unsanitary it is to have pubic hair. Such a strange notion. So before 1990's everyone was filthy and unsanitary? Post 1990 everyone is clean and sanitary? Come on.

OP again: wow. I wasn’t expecting this kind of engagement.

All of you, thank you for making this 40 year old feel part of the club! Haha

I've decided I am fine with the bush and just trim. I buy bathing suits from lands end that have more bottom coverage. Unless you want to show off, there is no reason to let it all hang out there now. At least for me.

On the plus side, Gen Z seems to be stopping with the insane body hair removal.

I think less hairy women don’t really understand what a full bush means to thick, dark haired woman. Your partner will need a machete to get down town.

My daughter isn’t old enough to have this chat but I am sure there is the same peer pressure to do a certain way within their peer groups.
