What I truly DON'T get is having your ass crack waxed. I'm 51 and I didn't even know (nor do I care to find out) that my ass crack has hair. I can't IMAGINE my partner caring. And the idea of paying some poor woman (it's always a woman, right?) to wax it off completely astounds me.

How can you not know this about your ass crack? Don’t you clean yourself in the shower? You don’t feel hair?

This is why I am on DCUM I was searching about school many years ago, ended on this forum, read a similar thread, laughed so much at the neuroses... and I am hooked.

Vulvas are meant to have hair. If people chose to shave/wax that is their choice. But just remember: Vulvas are meant to have hair

Healthcare provider here. We don't care, promise. Fully waxed/shaved is much less common than you would think.

As long as you aren't shaming women who like to shave. I started shaving at 10 and never looked back. I like it. DH prefers it.

No one shames women who "like" to shave, that's the current ridiculous norm.

It's all clinical to the docs/nurses. They don't bat an eye to either waxed or hairy.

Me! I was out of the dating scene before all bare became a thing in my former midwestern city, so thank goodness never had to deal with that while dating. DH prefers a patch, but I prefer not spraying pee like a sprinkler or dealing with maintenance, so groomed and occasional bikini line removal it is. DH knows that I'll wax it all off as soon as he waxes his balls, so the option's not entirely off the table. #smoothaseggs

Shaved once. Scratched for a week. Felt weird. Never again.

I don't understand how women shave it. Doesn't that hurt?! The razor burn and bumps. Ack. Get it waxed, if anything! Smooth like butter.

I suspect they see far worse than a full bush...

Anyway, I have birthed a child already and medical practitioners always seem hyper focused on whatever they were actually looking for (like, my cervix, or discharge, or tearing, or whatever). It's not like they stop and gaze at you before they start their work...

I'm also a healthcare provider (not women's health, though). Nurses, doctors, OBGYNs, surgeons, midwives, PCTs, etc. see so many bodies, external organs, and features thereof that we don't care if you are hairy or not.
