Man! I sure am glad I don't do all this stuff!!!

Where do you all even find the time to keep up with all the millions of hairs our bodies naturally have??!!!
I'm too scared to even ask what you do about nose, ears, and girly parts!!!!

I don't wanna KNOW!!!!!

lol shave shave shave and pluck a little! I have been shaving my entire body since 7th grade....Im practically a pro!

As a matter of fact, I know a guy who got his nostrils waxed! Serious. Seems kind of iffy to me but they stuck a wax plug up there and yank hairs out. He told me about it which was probably a mistake because whenever I saw him, I thought of nostril waxing.

I haven't had the time lately. DH doesn't care either, he just wants me to be happy with whatever I do. It's nice for when I'm slothful and don't shave my legs until I have to! I haven't decided that being natural is right for me though boy it could cut down on shaving time

I'll probably head out for an eyebrow wax and a brazillian soon now that I can't use my dominant hand to shave/pluck (broken clavicle). I don't want a) bald spots on my brows or b) a razor massacre at my airport!

and I don't remove hair for anyone but me. I was shaving years before I ever had an intimate encounter. Sure, DSOs have appreciated it in the past, but I just like having nicely manicured grounds for me to enjoy! Like wearing nice underwear or getting tattoos or piercings where no one can normally see them --YOU know they're there and that's all that matters.

RR, With this post, you have officially won both my respect and total agreement.
I shave for me, but while there's a landing strip at the airport, the grounds keeper lets things go a bit for the cycling season. She hasn't heard about Bikini Zone but it might be a good thing to try. The landing strip doesn't need accent lights!

It's nice to have piercings where no one can normally see them 'for yourself' but it does actually make it harder to retire them when 'it's time'. There was a steel structural disaster at the airport this morning on the way in to work. Things may need renovations and retirement.

Lisa- To each her own... where do you find time to wrap/twine/shellac your handlebars? "Your body may be a temple, but mine is an amusement park!" my manicured grounds are a courtesy to park-goers, assuming they return in kind.

Well, I wouldn't wrap/twine/shellac my handelbars every month, that's for sure!

"Manicured" doesn't necessarily mean mowed.

DH and I prefer sweet wildfower meadows to golf courses, but you're right, to each their own.

(all this "landing strip" talk has me envisioning skid marks on asphalt!)

Kitsune06 · 05-08-2007, 10:51 AM

...I think skidmarks are to be avoided.

Routines are routines. I can't imagine shaving *everything* but I shave my armpits and airport, and legs, too. It's like brushing and flossing... just becomes rote and depends on one's own personal perceptions of beauty. all-gone strikes me as prepubescent, but I've been known to 'go there' if there's a landing strip disaster and it needs to be repaved

or if the groundskeeper prefers an upside down triangle (har har) I do it for myself, but honestly... to keep things clean like that prevents friction burns of all sorts and shedding hairs in an unbecoming and- ahem- inopportune, unromantic way.

Yes. I am highly opinionated...
No, I don't dye things down there anymore. see? I can give up *some* of the unnecessary preening!

**FreshNewbie** · 05-08-2007, 10:51 AM

Kitsune, you might want to also try Tend Skin, google it. It's a great solution, although it does have a little weird smell but nothing that bad. Don't know about taste, never tried to drink it

It gets rid of all ingrown hair and all bumps and heals cuts. I tried both bikini zon and tend skin and tend skin wins. I don't advertise for this product so that you know

just happened to use it.

Thanks for the suggestion. It might well save my bits while I'm bike commuting!

I have Andy Rooney nostril hairs, too. Honest, they grow OUT of my nose, curl around the septum, and enter the OTHER nostril! It looks like I'm wearing a bull-ring thru my nose.

I cut those puppies right off. Besides, they tickle and itch and make me rub at my nose constantly.

Hey, well look on the bright side- at least you don't have ear hairs that grow out of one ear, curl across your face, and enter the OTHER ear!

Hmmm...though it might be useful for hanging socks out to dry....

Has anyone tried laser hair removal?

**Melstar** · 05-10-2007, 01:03 AM

If you pull it really fast it doesn't hurt so much.

**uforgot** · 05-10-2007, 03:41 AM

I took care of my left eyebrow Sunday when I was on my riding lawnmower and tried to mow under my oak tree with the low limbs. One snapped back. I don't have to worry about waxing under that brow until it heals, and I have a natural eyeliner and shadow that perfectly matches Bare Escentuals Opera. Of course the color extends under my eye too.

When I don't have a "black eye" I wax my brows at the salon. Something so great about just laying back and letting someone else do it...but, I barely feel it, either. If it hurt, I would probably find another way.

I'm currently having my pits and bikini line lasered. I'm about halfway through the treatments and I like it a lot. A little pricey but I was able to get a half off deal at christmas time. I don't think it hurts to bad, and it only takes a minute to do each pit and slightly longer for the bikini line.

I've been having electrolysis done on my (brooke) brows for years. I think electrolysis hurts like heck which is why I switched to the laser. If they ever have a half off deal on the upper lip I'll laser that too. Don't you just love that old lady facial hair growth.
