female pubic hair fashion: where to next?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

The seventies were the golden age of the "pubic afro" or "full bush" look, with pubic fashions following a hippie ethos. However, by the eighties, things were getting a little more tidy. A trend for high-cut swimsuits meant that bikini waxes were increasingly narrowing the "triangle", until lo and behold, the "landing strip" look was born. But by the mid-nineties, probably under the influence of porn, the totally waxed "Brazilian" (apparently nothing to do with Brazil actually) became the rage. At around the turn of the millenium, interesting things were happening to pubic fashions, with women dyeing their hair wacky colours and cutting it into interesting geometrical shapes. Dolce & Gabbana even featured ads with men and women who had a "G" shaved into their parts. Since those heady days, pubic fashion seems to have got tamer, with the most common look probably being a tightly trimmed wide landing strip. The big question on everyone's lips right now in the pubic fashion world however is: where to next? What do women really want?

Total pubic baldness? Obvs that's nothing new, but it's increasingly common and maybe some people will just go all the way and take steps to permanantly remove their pubic hair?

Eurrrrrrrggh, what a ghastly thought

― Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 11:24 (twenty years ago)

Pubic baldness is gross. Please let it go away soon.

it's there for a reason. baldies might get some nasty chafing

Also: sex with pre-pubescents = yukkkkkk.

The big question on everyone's lips...
LOL
I recon that their is little left untried in the female arena, perhaps its time us chaps got creative

― lukey (Lukey G), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 11:56 (twenty years ago)

I really don't understand fashion at all. Sigh.

But I suppose this is the equivalent for women of facial calligraphy/comedy beard growing for men.

I can't be bothered. But if I were a bloke, I'd probably have perpetual shadow coz I couldn't be bothered to shave.

― MIS Information (kate), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 11:57 (twenty years ago)

My mother's ex once told me he knew a girl who shaved her pubes into a heart-shape. Don't ask me how we got started on that, as I honestly don't remember. (Admittedly, he was just barely closer to my age than my mother's age.)

Pink heart-shape = Classic.

i like a little bush down there. gives me something to grab onto.

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 12:04 (twenty years ago)

Know Your Pubic Hair Facts!

It's called a Brazilian because the women who popularized it (the ones actually doing the waxing) are Brazilian sisters.

It was Gucci, not Dolce & Gabbana with the 'G' ad.

(why do I know these things?)

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 12:04 (twenty years ago)

Pubic hair grafting - maybe from the celebrity of your choice?

Merkins: Classic or Itchy?

what about mens pube fashion. my friend shaves it up baldino. me, i leave it flowing like a horses mane.

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 12:21 (twenty years ago)

i like to tihnk that eventually licensing deals will be worked out, and it'll be popular to shave it into corporate logos. just imagine chowing down on the Nike swoosh or the Adidas three-stripe logo down there!

We were watching Carrie the other night, and my girlfriend was shocked at the full-bushedness of the girls in the opening locker room sequence. Perhaps the clock will turn back?

i wonder if hippy chicks still go with the earth mama bush. patchouli bush.

Pubic dreads! Ew.

I wonder what straightened pubic hair would be like.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

Would it lay down flat or would it stick straight out?

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

Like porcupubes?

Joanna, I like your opening paragraph. You should think of expanding it into an essay on the vagaries of pubic fashion.

I think you need to go for the happy medium. The full bush look is a bit too much, but then so is the bald look. I favour trimming it down to a fuzz and keeping it tidy around the edges.

― natasha F., Wednesday, 29 June 2005 14:22 (twenty years ago)

Not exactly pushing the envelope there tho are you?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

envelope!!

maybe it'll be a customizable feature in the first female-led Grand Theft Auto game.

you know; after you have tatts & a wardrobe, where do you go to next? that's right, get them clippers and here we go.

What about the Target logo?

Dammit, I can't find a good pic of Terminator X back in the day.

Tho this is his current look:

So it seems that he's just been following the fashion, from wearing it out long and strong to shaving it down close & smooth. LADEEZ, THIS MAN IS YOUR GUIDE TO YOUR COOTER FOLLICLE MAINTENANCE.

the next big change would be men getting stuff done like this in public. but i don't think it'll ever happen.

― g e o f f (gcannon), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 15:30 (twenty years ago)

by "in public" i don't mean like out on the street, but like "no, bra, i can't make it to raquetball, my ballsack trim is at 2," instead of being hunched over the toilet with a braun.

― g e o f f (gcannon), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 15:32 (twenty years ago)

just wait till "2 Inch Trims" replaces "24 Inch Rims"

― kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 15:33 (twenty years ago)

just shaving it on one side

Joanna Landau, how about I punch your bitch ass in the face for creating this thread? Ain't 'fraid to hit a dude without a dick.

Conked & ironed pubes. Parted to one side like a dapper gentleman.

Also, can this discussion NOT include by extension hair ass and/or taint hair? Wax that pucker, yo.

Does anyone else shampoo and condition their pubes? I don't do it every day, but every so often it seems like the right thing to do. It's about equality, man.

― elmo (allocryptic), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 16:12 (twenty years ago)

I have shampubed.

Clearly, ingrown hair induced bumps are next.

Spposedly shaving it makes your Johnson look bigger. I have not tried this, but am intrigued.

i dont get this attitude at all. mistaking a grown woman for a prepubescent girl is like wondering where superman went after he put his glasses on.

There is a point when your johnson's so big that it doesn't matter. But that's for the boys' thread (although to say that it is a bit like segregation of the sexes).

There's a good point for "shampubing" too -- it's hair (like on the top of your head, except coarser) and it supposedly makes going down on someone a bit more fragrant.
