Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

We're expected to prune and style a lot of our body hair. What do you do?

I think this is a great thing to talk more openly about!

I have an at-home laser hair removal device (https://us.braun.com/en-us/female-hair-removal/ipls/silk-expert-pro-5-pl5157) that I use on my legs, armpits, bikini line, and boobs. I also use a razor to touch up legs, armpits, and bikini area when I need to. The hair in these areas is a lot slower to grow & more fine than it used to be before I started using the laser device, but it does still come back.

I can't imagine being the type of person who takes pubic hair removal seriously though. I've just got too much and it grows too fast and my skin is way too sensitive to handle it. As someone that isn't in a relationship and not super into hookups, my perspective is: if you're going down there you're welcome and you're one of the lucky few. I'm not about to cause myself constant discomfort just so my occasional sexual partners have a view of my genitals that they may or may not find more aesthetically pleasing. The idea of putting in all that time, effort, money, and discomfort just so that my vag can look like a child's is a fucking no for me.

No judgement towards those that do it! Just could never be me.
