Out of sight, out of mind.

The beard and mustache trimmer still managed to nick me, and I found it too hard to juggle the mirror anyway, so I ended up just slathering the whole area with Magic Cream. http://texasbeautysupplies.com/magfragcream.html It's like Nair, but caused less irritation, in my experience.

Now I am wondering if the OB/GYN is filled with shock and horror when she sees me. I kinda like my hair, and never thought to do a thing to it. I thought this was a fairly "normal" take on pubic hair until I read this thread.


(FYI, I do shave my legs and pits... And my pubic hair isn't super dooper long or thick - maybe since I have blond hair so the hair "down there" is a dark blond? Errr.... I'm sort of justifying here aren't I?)

I suppose being pregnant isn't the time for me to start experimenting with trimming the pubic hair, though...


Alright.... sorry for the self-indulgent post here. I just had to voice my sudden self-consciousness.

We all have such different amounts and thicknesses of pubic hair... I like to trim mine so it doesn't get pulled by my underwear and is in general cleaner feeling. But a lot of people don't have this problem. It seems like you are in this camp~ no need to be self conscious in my opinion

: this is how I feel now. I am trimming up down there but there are no waxing services here in bufu Germany and I think the Nurses and OBs might be a little shocked if I came in waxed up. hahaha I LOVE getting brazilians but accepted that when in Germany do as the Germans do.

I'm just so used to doing it, I can do it without being able to see. I shower without glasses or contacts so I normally can't see anyway so a big belly is no problem for me.

My DH did it for me with my first. But now I get a brazilian every 4 weeks, so I'll continue doing that throughout the pregnancy.

Wow! I'll bet you didn't know what a popular topic this was going to be when you posted! I got used to being, um, clean-shaven when I was a lifeguard for a number of years and have never been able to stand anything else, even when I'm pg. Call me crazy, but I just use my regular old Gillette razor and do it by feel every time I shower. This is my third pg, and I have yet to hurt myself, so I guess I'm lucky!

Oh dear--at 33 weeks here this has been a concern of mine lately! The title made me laugh as well--it can get really difficult to do much of anything--I am measuring about 44 inches around and can't see a thing. Last pregnancy I tried to trim hair I could not see with a small scissors and ended up cutting some very sensitive skin...I am trying to be more careful this time around.

Waxing is something I had tried in the past and it was unbearably painful for me--wouldn't go back even if I had the money to. I think the 'mirrors and angles' plan is the way to go....
