Somewhere between crazy bush and Brazilian. Or why do I have pieces of green wax stuck to my pubes?

Body hair can be a rather sticky subject. Or so I found out when I bought this “do-it-at-home” wax kit from Walmart. I’m a razor girl as a rule. I shave my legs daily, keep the pitts clear of fuzz, and try to keep the bush from migrating down towards my knees. I use a top of the line razor, use baby powder to reach really low without cutting myself, and soap on the rest of me. It’s part of my morning bathing ritual and I thought an acceptable solution to the age old hair removal problem. Until a random comment about “pickyness” had me re-thinking the whole thing. I had tried the creams before and they gave me those little red bumps, and my experience waxing previously had been something akin to the 40 year old virgin scene. Given that I really am a natural blonde, the hair is finer and less visable than my brunette girlfriends. They spend an outrageous amount of money getting lasored and waxed monthly (some have trouble walking for a week afterwards), but are left coiffed and smooth as possible. Blondes can’t be lasored as the lasor can’t “see’ the hair in order to zap it. I have heard that poor estheticians have to deal with “spiders” or the creepy pubes of unkept patrons, that make the inside of the thighs look like party favours, and I didn’t want to deal with the kind of regularity that was necessary to have me not lumped into that category. For me it now seems that razor stubble has me crossing into that new domain into hair removal solutions. Do I shave more often? pluck? Go back to the expensive and time consuming estitcians, or try and assume that hair removal is one of the biggest hassles in being a women and ask for a little understanding?
Previously my rule of thumb had been akin to my friend Chloe in the book Chloe Does Yale, by Natalie Krinsky.
The general consensus among both male and  females was that body hair is not about style or panache, but rather hygiene, and thus the rule of thumb is keep it organized. Pubic hair is like a Filofax. It’s no good when little pieces of paper are sticking out of your Filofax; it makes it difficult to fit into your purse. Same goes for pubic hair. Capiche?”
Which brings you to my current situation. Trying to use a tongue depressor to apply a rapidly hardening green wax to my less than firm inner thighs in anticipation of ripping pain. I managed to make a mess of the whole thing, and after a few serious yelps, and tears of physical anguish running down my face, I ma forced to spend 15 minutes trying to scrape the leftover wax from migrating up my cervix. I obviously need to leave this process to the professionals. Or contemplate going back to my trusty razor.  I’ll keep you posted.
ps. We have a Duckling event coming up soon called “spring gardening” where we bring in the manscapers, the straight razor experts and the new lawn care shavers to talk about pubic hair. Come join us?
