To trim or not to trim

[carolp]

Thank goodness this is a women's forum. I'm trying to decide whether or not to trim my pubic hair. Part of me think it's a good cushion for the lady parts, and then part of me is thinking all it does is get the chamois cream goopy.
Any thoughts? I'm talking about just the part that hits the chamois.

Worse than take up chamois cream, it mats, tangles and chafes. Trim that trim!

Are we talking about trimming or about shaving? Cause in my mind those are two totally different things. I'm definitely pro the former and have had terrible experiences with the latter.

My chamois always manages to grab and pull one hair when it's long...usually on group rides so it's inconvenient to readjust. Trim! (Don't shave!)

What about waxing? It hurts a lot but it takes longer to grow back.

I use Magic Shaving Powder (it's a depilatory designed for black men's facial hair, but it's very gentle "down there." You just mix it to a pudding-like consistency with water, slather it on, leave for 7 minutes, then scrape off). I'm starting to seriously contemplate laser hair removal, though. I seem to get chafed really badly by my own hair. I'd probably leave a "landing strip," but otherwise go sort of Brazilian.

I'm really just talking about the stuff that's right over the vagina. That's where my hair is long. I think I will start trimming.

Ouch! Yanking it out or dissolving it with chemicals. In grown hairs when it grows back. No thanks.

I'm happy with old fashioned scissors. Of course the results aren't as artistic as a landing strip

I've never been waxed, but I never get ingrowns from depilatories. Shaving...yeah, ingrown city, there!

This is one you just gotta figure out for yourself.
Try something, and if it doesn't work, try something else.
Repeat as needed.

Trim! It feels so much better, and I think it looks better too. I wish more men would do it

Shaving is more trouble than it's worth.

+10000. The end

I wish more men would do it .

The ones who know about the extra optical inch do!

I don't do mine for cycling reasons but I am a fan of either trimming, shaving or a combo of both. I can advise you NOT to wax. That will cause you the worst pain of your life. I can guarantee you won't wear panties for days nor will you be able to ride.

I can't believe I'm writing this on the internet, but I trim with an electric trimmer, the shortest setting. I shave the higher up stuff daily.

The things you people get me talking about. REALLY!
