I`ll just say that I treat my down there like «I do my wardrobe....stick with what`s popular, but no radical permanent removal...don`t want to be dated by my private parts :-)

@MD W A shaved heart?! That's amazing hahah I feel like that must take some skill too- good on ya! :)

Lmao!! I'd like to think it's a 'personal' preference! Lol! That being said, I am a shaver 'down there' to some extent, myself. Take the high inner thigh for instance. I shave that routinely. Otherwise, I feel I look like I've got Buckwheat in a leg/thigh lock when I'm stripped down & getting frisky with my husband. I guess I'd have to say I keep the 'trim' trimmed! LOL! Usually around Valentine's Day I also CAREFULLY take my razor and craft a heart shape. It's definately a mood setter if you know what I mean?? Also, I have an electric shaver, the one that has a 'beard trimmer' that flips up on the top to keep things nice and neat. I absolutely HATE razor burn so shaving everything bald is just not for me. I have done that, and I've gone the waxing route as well. Thru trial and error I have found that using the 'beard trimmer' keeping things neat, shaving the inner thigh and the occasional Valentine's Day shape keeps nasty razor burn at bay, is very hygenic, and I still look like an adult woman, and can wear a bikini with no problem. Like I said earlier, it's personal preference. Bald just isn't for me. Too much upkeep and too much razor burn! Lol!

I can't look at her the same again.
It's a hygiene thing as to why I go bare down there... ew. Just ew.

I completely agree with the trend's don't last forever.. For me, I prefer to go hairless (well, almost hairless) - I shave. Only for cleanliness reasons, not for appearance.

But -- Maybe if my vagina was on my forehead I would want it to look pretty, Lol.

The trend thing is definitely a compelling argument. All those women who had their eyebrows lasered off and tattooed back on are going to agree! For that matter, I know a lot of women who are struggling to repopulate sparse eyebrows after years of savage overplucking. No trend lasts forever.

I think laser hair removal is a life saver and a half when it comes to specific body parts (i.e. underarms, legs) but you're right--the whole hairless look is a bit of a phenomenon and there will always be varying views on it. I like to think I have the option to alter it at my will, depending on the season and my preference.

@Ali de Bold I agree with the tidy factor and you never know when you're going to want to go swimming! Personally, I don't usually go hairless, to be honest, I feel like it brings me back to the days long before puberty and I'd rather look like a woman.

I can understand why some women go completely hairless or wild and wooly. I prefer something tidy where you can still wear a bikini with confidence without the torture of a full-out brazillian. It hurts too much and I've decided it's not worth it.
