Are you against waxing? It's a lot less maintenance than shaving.

I can't imagine shaving but I do get regular bikini waxes. I've gone the full monty but am usually stick with a landing strip. I definitely think that this is an area where you HAVE to be comfortable. So, whether you wax, shave, or go natural you should definintely decide based on how you are most comfortable and your bf should be understanding. Really, if this causes an issue in a relationship there is more to the problem.

No hair- ever

i feel your pain, i mean i don't think anyone, wants a laser in that area, would make me nervous

I think its best to stick to trimming or maybe some waxing, like it was suggested.

And tell your boyfriend to be fair, tell him your taking a break from all those waxing or shavings, he has to understand

Don't let your BF dictate what you decide to do with YOUR body. Do what feels right to YOU.

Dear - Isn't that pic a little NSFW? That's not side boob, that's areola with a bit of nip poking out.

I like the feeling of shaved but I recently cut myself and have been too scared to keep it up. I've been shaving for quite some time and never cut myself...it was a bit of a shock when I realized that I had. It burned soooooooooooooooooooo bad

I wouldn't let your boyfriends preference dictate what you do with your body. If you want to let it go then let it go...who cares? and if he does then so what.

I would never wax because I get little bumps when I get my eyebrows waxed and it hurts too. I'm more of a tweezing/threading kinda girl BUT I think threading and tweezing down there would be incredibly painful lol

Lol... if your boyfriend really liked you, than he wouldn't mind. Not everyone's got to be perfect... I'm sure he won't mind.

I just wish men loved it all natural. Well maintained, i mean. But thats how not the world works so go get waxed.

Not sure what nsfw means but the nip def caught my eye.

nsfw = not safe for work

I shave everything and leave a little landing strip
I want to start waxing soon, but I'm a little scraed to be honest haha! I want to get it done for Christmas though and have a D for my boyfriend

no kiding NSFW.... oh well. i tryed waxing but that was some crazy pain.

do whatever you want to your body in that department.
My boyfriend is into hair.
I like no hair sometimes.
i say try everything. mix it up. he will have a surprise sometimes.
thats what i do.

I prefer waxing to shaving b/c there's so much less upkeep, but whether you get rid of all of it or not is more of a personal preference thing for you and your boyfriend. You could always just ask him, see what he thinks.

Whatever I feel comfortable with. Sometimes I get too lazy to shave so I let it grow and I don't mind until I start to itch. (no wonder guys scratch themselves!). Then I shave and the process starts all over again, unless I'm going to be swimming then I make sure it's continuously bare. My boyfriend doesn't mind when it comes to sex or oral. If I have to deal with his hair during oral then he can deal with mine

i tend to keep mine better maintained in the summer lol then i wax and leave a landing strip. in the winter i get lazy and just shave and trim but i leave more there than normal. i've never had complaints either way lol

If you can't even talk about how he prefers your pubic hair to look, he shouldn't be seeing it!

My boyfriend likes the fact that I don't shave. (I mean, it's not a huge bush but there is hair because it doesn't bother me.) He thinks that shaving it makes you look like a little girl who hasn't hit puberty yet.

Why don't you talk to him about it? I agree w/ shomonigushi. If you can't talk candidly about your pubic hair, you shouldn't be getting too physical. But regardless of what he prefers, just do whatever you want and whatever makes you comfortable. When it comes down to it, most guys don't care as long as you're not super bushy and dirty down there.

My private area is about me and for me to control. It's not about maintaining it for anyone else. If you're tired of shaving then stop, it's not about him, it's about you.

I have it all waxed off (shaving is the tough way to go!). My boyfriend wouldn't mind if I didn't (I only trimmed during the start of our relationship and he had no complaints), but he does prefer it all off. He likes the smoothness, and how bare it all is (i.e. you can see the vagina in all its glory - not just mainly bush). He says giving oral is so much more enjoyable on a smooth surface. And I prefer it too! Sex feels nicer for both of us when it's all smooth and hairless.

It's just our personal preference, but it certainly has nothing to do with either of us wanting me to "look like a little girl", just for the record. He maintains his hair down there too, and I like it, so it's not all one-sided either.

Dear, don't do shave if you don't want to!! Even if your guy does prefer hairless, if you want to grow a bit back I'm positive he won't kick you out of bed for it! If he has the hide to complain about it just take him in for a back, sack and crack wax with a stern, burly beautician named Olga. Muahahaha - he'll never complain again!

I've never been with anyone who minded the hair. The upkeep is just dreadful for me, but I have shaved it all a few times for his pleasure (and it feels amazing), but 2 days afterwards it starts to itch really bad.

Say it's No Shave November. I'm participating in that for my legs... then again I have nobody at the moment so it's just my funny little secret. Also, I live in Santa Cruz so body hair on women is a little more acceptable than most places.

Did you ever asked your bf his opinion? Who knows he might be up for change. When talking with friends more and more are going to keeping their hair in a short triangle and bare everywhere else.

I think it should be trimmed definitely. Women have to deal with so much shaving. He should understand if it's not trimmed or shaved every once in awhile.

No hair...ever:) I've been shaving for about 11 years now (yeah started as a freshman in high school and never looked back!) and I hate going more than two days. But then again, from the head down I'm hairless! Take the electric razor to arms, legs, and basically any part of me with the normal layer of *fuzz* that's on anyone's body I've removed, I like being buttery smooth hehe. And it works well too b/c my boyfriend is the same way, guess that's what you get when you put bartenders and ex. dancers together lol.

I go for waxing or sugaring when I can (which is difficult since I have to drive 100 miles to do so). However, it is so much more convenient than shaving.

Can we wax DIY style?? I have only tried trimming and shaving.

i prefer shaving, but sometimes i wax too. either way, smooth and hairless is the way to go

I agree with reeeeka, do what YOU want to do.

I think clean shaven is kind of weird and prepubescent in a gross way. my boyfriend prefers a natural amt. of hair down there.

who cares? do what you would like, its your body. Most guys like to see a little variety.. but why dont you do what you feel comfortable with.

eh, i tend to trim. i think it's courteous to my partner, and it's more comfortable. he goes back and forth, trimming it down and letting it grow. sometimes i'll shave it all off if i feel like it.

it's about what you feel like doing, but i totally recommend trimming with manicure scissors, as a courtesy, if you feel like it.

I'm chiming in with those who say that YOU should make the call. I've always told dudes that my own pubic preferences are more important than theirs. Honestly, if a guy can't handle a little hair, then he doesn't get to handle me, I say.

i don't know. I guess if it was really that important to me I would get a brazilian wax and thats it!

i shave it all, but i'd really like to wax. i think it would be a lot more efficient... i'm from a really small southern town though & there aren't a lot of places willing to wax your cooter :/

I'm currently looking into laser. But if you want to have the hair just neeat and tidy, then you should do it. Just give him a treat every now and again and shave or wax it - you';ll reap the rewards!!

My bf gets me whatever way... He's seen me with a clean shave or hairy... he never seems to care.......

Clean shaven. For sanitary reasons and comfort issues.Get rid of it.
