i guess that in europe the bald look didn’t quite become the trend that it is in america…

Haha! Awesome! Why are people so afraid of hair? We’re only animals after all.

C’est hyper drôle de lire ça ici. Mais POURQUOI elle a eu ENVIE de traiter CE sujet?
C’est limite dégueu….

Oh god… Yeah it’s funny that she speaks about it. Every time I took all my hairs i got an urinary infection… So I gave up on total depilation! After all if they’re there it’s because they’re needed no?

assez d’accord, mais préférez un buisson structuré à un buisson sauvage, à mon humble avis.

Jardin à la française VS jardin à l’anglaise! ;)

Mais qu’en disent les hommes????

I agree! And am happy that the naked cat seems to be slowly going out of fashion again.

The pubes are important – they help keep bacteria out of the vagina and also protect the area from uncomfortable friction during sex…I never understood the appeal of going bald. Why do I want to look like a preadolescent? I’ve kept a lush but well tended to garden for years and I’ve never heard any complaints. :-)

She is in great shape. If you have an iPad, try The New York Model Workout.

About the gravity…I’m afraid it’s going to be similar to what happens to tattoos as we age…I’d say keeping the options open is a good idea.

AHAHAHAHAH!

Elle assure Cameron!

Et je pense comme elle, je trouve que ça manque de féminité et de mystère.
Bien sur en restant dans le raisonnable!

Actually if the alternative is grey pubic hair then I will keep waxing.

Lol good question ====> google search!!

To add to Cameron’s words of wisdom. Have you ever asked yourself why your partner would find the appearance of pre-adolescent genitalia exciting? VERY CREEPY!!!

WOW – ok.
Well I don’t really agree with her – I find long pubic hair gross.
But that said I will use it when I am older to cover up the tattoo I have there. :-)
That’s why I don’t laser it all off. :-)

I read this book of love letters from the 18th or 19th century and one male lover referred to his female lover’s pubes as her ‘fringe of Venus’; thats was so beautiful that I’ve never had a brazilian since

Haha.

To each his own…

Ahahah, elle est mignonne, mais bon on a pas de poils au niveau du vagin, c’est de vulve qu’il fallait parler ;)
Mais elle a le merite de soulever un sujet intéressant, et dont il ne faut pas avoir peur de parler! Hey, c’est votre corps les filles, cest pas dégoûtant! :)
Perso, je n’aime pas quand il n’y a rien, le côté prepubaire me derange…(en plus du côté galère à gérer) je raccourcis juste la longueur, c’est plus agréable à porter pour moi et mon amoureux préfère ;)
Mais bien sûr c’est vraiment une question de préférences esthétique!

A (very groomed) lover of mine once almost forced me not to shave, because he loved the “mysteriousness” and animality about it. He said it made me look more like a “real” woman. It felt kinda awkward at first, as I had been shaving for most of my life. But then I started to like it!
Strangely enough it makes me feel more like a “girl” again, than shaving everything off does.

Les poils ont aussi une fonction autre que purement esthétique : ils adoucissent les frottements irritants et forment barrière contre les infections.

NO !! Really? She wrote that?? LOL
Hurray for Cameron Diaz! Despite all the pros and cons of what she wrote, actually writing it is a very bold move!

LOLOLOL

Agree with Cameron and with comment of ANOTHER KATE. Creepy indeed.

Also shaving and waxing of such delicate skin and consequent inflammation of the skin, redness and rash over several days-is this really attractive and sexy to anyone?
Of course the one who claims that it does not happen is simply lying.

Je n’aurais pas dit mieux… :-)
Les gens parlent beaucoup mais se trouvent finalement très mal à l’aise quand on parle clairement de “vulve”, “vagin”, “clitoris” …

Actually i got a home wax kit yesterday from Ricky’s (US only) GiGi brazilian kit and it comes with pre cleanser, oil to protect skin, wax off cleanser and slow grow lotion all for $12.99 – it is all but painless to use and no inflammation at all. What I object to is paying £50 in London to have it done for me; If you are new to home waxing choose the non strip variety its a totally different experience.

Loved how she put it! I love her even more after this! I totally agree. I am 46 and have noticed for a long while now how my younger women “sisters” are “down there” in the showers at the fitness club, the public pool, etc. I´ve felt like a barbaric bush woman for years now because I refuse to take it all off to look like a young girl of 10 again. (Well, you know what I mean- since I REALLY WOULDN´T ANYWAY- since I´ve had 3 kids and had all natural births!). But, the point is- IS THAT I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY WOMEN WOULD DO THIS!? I am proud of my womanism – the bush. I don´t let it grow long- so all good. O.k… I do shave my armpits and my legs…and now at 46- I even shave the upper lip and the mole hair- so, I´m not against grooming…. But, is it the porn industry´s fault?! Or is it because women do this to help their partner not miss the spot….I´M JUST ASKING! WHY DO THE ONES WHO DO IT- DO IT? EDUCATE ME! Best regards, an older “sister”

No, it tends not to go grey even when one’s hair does, but there is much less hair. I miss the lovely bush I used to have. (Well, I only miss it once in a while when I think about it in the bath.)

But don’t worry about that as you will have other more important things to worry about. And you can still wear great clothes.

Is it just me or is Cameron looking like Madonna these days?

++++ for this comment !! lol

Thank you LLL.
Every woman should do what she likes. To each their own. Ain t nobody dictating me what looks right down there :)
Xxx

Dans le fond on s’en fou, non? C’est plutôt personel à chacun, pourquoi on se soucierait de l’opinion de Cameron?

Don’t shaved armpits look like pre-adolescent girls’s armpits, shaved legs like pre-adolescent girls’ legs, and shaved men faces like pre-adolescent boys’ faces?

I understand the fight against the dictate but let’s not exagerate!

When I first traveled in Europe in 1982, I was shocked by the European girls who had hairy legs and hairy armpits (I didn’t see their privates, but I assume they were also au natural), yet who were so totally cool and hip. When did it change? I think everybody is so busy watching porn online that they have twisted expectations about sex and sexuality, including what their partners’ bodies and their own bodies should look like. It turns sex into a sport or business aimed at personal satisfaction, rather than an intense form of communication and sharing between two people and aimed at pleasing each other, not just one’s self. I think guys want women to look like pre-pubescent girls because the porn industry has deemed it so, telling them “here’s what’s sexy,” based on the idea of pushing the limits and dancing around with pedophilia to make their products even more exciting.

Thank you for saying this!

I cant. I’m all for hairless everywhere except my head and eyebrows and arms. I cant stand the sight of hair anywhere else !

I love Garance’s blog because she always has such a great conversation below the posts. And I also agree with some of you that it’s matter of your personal choice and you bf’s choice.

And what about women who prefer that men shave their chests? Is that “Creepy” too? Or women who have a “thing” for bald men? Does that mean they are “into” babies? So silly!! I will say it again, to each his own.

Pubes are gross…that’s why I have chosen to live without them. By the time gravity drags down my labia majora, it will already have done a number on my face – at that point what is the difference.

I do understand her. Where I come from, older women hold an ancient idea that a full bush is like a token of womanly power. Sort of like long hair was to ancient warriors maybe – that by cutting it off they lose some or their power. Also, hair removal is quite a new thing here in post-soviet Europe, it’s not a given, so it’s not totally weird to keep the hair.
I may or may not grow my pubic hair back when I’m older, but for now, I don’t miss it. I remember how it was before I ever started grooming it, and it was messy – just a lot of hair, a lot of washing and so on. And when I groomed it, I never knew how much to shave off, so by the end I’d just keep a narrow strip of hair. That seems weird to think back. I don’t remember what having pubic hair felt like.

Really can’t believe that women are still attacking hairlessness down there with the prepubescent argument. It’s reminiscent of the attack against thin women as not being “real” women. It’s absolute crap. As others have mentioned, if hairlessness down there is prepubescent, then so is hairlessness on the legs and underarms and a man’s face. It’s faulty logic.

I had a partner who LOVED hair down there. I tried to comply to please him, as he actually really did not find hairlessness attractive, whereas bush was a complete turn on for him. He even managed to make me feel sexy with it now and then. But I ended up waxing and shaving again. Even though he was the only person to see it and a bush was what he liked – I couldn’t continue growing it out just for a man. I felt unclean. And not just because I was taught so by society. But because it was scratchy and the texture was unpleasant. And toilet paper would cling to it like a mofo – not that a hairless vag won’t leave traces, but it’s a whole lot less and much easier to get rid of. I’m an ultra clean person in general and I use natural hygienic wipes after the bathroom each time. I would have to really pull and tug at my hair to remove toilet paper (and lint from clothing). It’s not like that without hair.

And it’s not just that I don’t like hair there. I don’t want hair anywhere but my eyebrows and head. I don’t like hair on my partners either (that wouldn’t keep me from dating someone, but it is still a preference) with the only exception of the occasional scruffy face. Smoothness just feels better, it’s not complicated. That’s why you prefer soft clothes or experience comfort from a super soft blanket or pillow. It doesn’t have to be more complicated than that. Smooth skin is pleasing to the touch. Hair is scratchy, unless you’re lucky with very, very thin and soft body hair – but even then I would argue that smooth skin simply feels better.

When I was in that relationship where I was not shaving for a while, I broke down not because of porn (though I will never argue the damaging consequences of the industry) and it was not to please a man – on the contrary, it was the complete opposite of what I knew my partner loved. I did it solely for me, because I felt gross with having it, as well as itchy. And while I have some itchyness when I shave, there is something about pubic hair that always makes me anticipate dandruff is about to come flaking off, which further makes me feel unclean. Without hair, I can fully see what’s going on down there, and when I wasn’t shaving, I would get the occasional ingrown hair that I wouldn’t see until it was gross and I was about to be intimate with my partner – which immediately made me not want to. Had I found it before, I could have treated it to minimize it’s appearance, inhibit it’s growth, or kick-start the healing. I also ended up having what was essentially a milia bump down there – and I had no clue until my boyfriend saw it and had to have a horrifyingly awkward conversation with me about it.

So I started shaving again and I felt much better about myself. Not shaving made me feel as I do after a few days on not showering when my hair feels dirty- even though EVERYONE around me said it looks great and/or they can’t even tell, I can tell. And I can feel it and it makes me feel gross and affects my self-esteem and my mood. Shaving and waxing down there is no different. Yes, some people may do it just because society tells them that is what is sexy. But it’s not the only reason people do it, and certainly not the primary reason for many women. So don’t berate them and accuse them of wanting to look like children. Some of us feel gross having hair, some of us find others wanting to be hairless concerning.

It comes down to preference. I personally do not like the feel of hair down there (the looks of it are not even my main concern)., but I do not give a hoot about what another woman prefers on her own body. So to all you bush ladies making attacks, you should really consider jumping off your moral high horse. A real woman can be skinny, can have a full bush in all its bushy glory, or can be completely hairless. What makes her a “real” woman is because that is how she was born and, more importantly, because she believes and asserts herself as such. Plain and simple. Stop trying to shove all women into a tiny little box.
