Married Women and Body Hair...

Ok, I have a few aunts who have boasted about this, and I don’t know if its something common, or I just have a weird family (it is possible that the latter is very true irregardless of the answer).

They’ll say “Oh, I don’t bother with the shaving/waxing anymore”. And then they giggle…

:o

One even told us graphic details of shaving in a bathroom and her husband scolding her not to shave. She says “He likes it natural”.

I’ve never seen my mom make the face she did. Utter disgust…

And I was like 12 at the time. Like I needed to hear about what turns my chaachaa on.

shudders

I can never look at my sicko uncle the same again.

I’m just wondering. Is this something common? Do women let themselves go after marriage? I know many married girls growing up, and some of them take extra care of themselves after marriage, and others…it’s like, they just stop grooming themselves entirely. I just don’t get it??? And then they say, that their husbands don’t care.

Are you friggin’ serious?

I don’t know much more on this topic as I am not married. :halo: But maybe some of you ladies can share. Are these just isolated cases I’ve noticed, or do you think there is a worrying trend here of inadequate post-marital hair removal/makeup/deoderants/perfumes/weight control/acne control, etc.

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

ewwwwwwww I haven't heard something like this ever in my life

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

You know what? I heard this comment from GORI women that, "I don't need to shave my legs anymore now that I'm married. So, maybe it's not only confined to married desi women (some of em anyways).

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

Now I'm wondering about the French. Cuz I've heard that some French people don't believe in shaving hair as they appreciate the body in au natural form.

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

yeh, common. and most men honestly don't care as much as unmarried women are lead to believe. they will see you in a much worse condition than a bit of hair i.e. vomiting all over the place, having the flu.

it's nice to be able to able to do things because you want to, not because you feel you have to otherwise you'll be repulsive. and it's nice to be loved no matter what.

i got laser, so it's not something i have to worry about any more.

and RV says, it's not something confined to desi's. all girls i know who are in a long term relationship say that are a lot more relaxed about the whole hair thing... letting hair grow out properly between waxes etc. just shaving now and again etc.

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

From what I hear, French girls dont shave their armpits...yikes.

I think most married women I know still groom...manicures, pedicures, waxing, brazilians even, etc. They might not shave every single day but generally speaking they pay attention to body hair.

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

From Everybody loves Raymond:

Debra (about Robert's wife Amy): "She has been married 3 months. She probably STILL shaves her legs, and they are trying to teach us about marriage."

From what I hear, many husbands don't care and it comes down to how often the wifeys want to wax themselves.

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

Interesting. Married men and unmarried men are welcome to comment too. I really didn't think it was an appreciated sort of thing by hubbies.

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

I don't know about that but I would groom myself anyway because I prefer it that way.

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

Its beyond me to understand that being clean does not include hair removal.

PCG, how do you end up in situations where you get to hear such important info? or is this like a weekly meeting where women gather and share intimate personal info?

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

Ditto Gaia.

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

if we are talking bout arms legs and other limbs and not pubic hair, then honestly, girls have made thesmselves believe that their men will not look their way if they ahve hair on their arms or legs

like someone said up above, ure husband will see you in far worse conditions than just the odd hair on ure arm or leg.
if ure husband refuses to sleep with you or puts you down just cuz u havent waxed in a month, ure marriage has issues big time'

i wax for myself .. always have and always will. .my husband could care less....

unmarried men are gonna be all 'ugh gross' etc etc.

until one is in a relationship that is based on more than looks and see each other in all sorts of states, one will never appreciate how this thinking changes.
being married means you are responsible for a lot more than just yourself so often times things like this can end up taking a back seat and you don't even notice.

all i know is that i did not change from before marriage to after. i wore makeup everyday when i was out of the house before, i wear makeup every day now. i didn't dress like a 'new dulhan' before and i didn't after. i do whatever i need to do for myself.

exactly.

my husband doesnt really care much, but i do it anyway, its disgusting those who dont...ewwwww i think body hair esp pubic and underarms should be included in peoples personal hygene routine, something mandatory....

abit like saying `oh i stopped brushing my teeth since i got married1.....u woudlnt hear anyone saying that,,,,,,,,,

ewwww

Re: Married Women and Body Hair…

Why I even read this thread . . . :smack:

PCG thanks for ruining my weekend :naraz:

Re: Married Women and Body Hair…

French/German/European women not removing their armpit hair is such an urban myth! :smack:

I know African men like their woman with hair on their arms/legs…:hmmm:

Personally, i have a certain standard, and i like to maintain that standard for myself. I don’t think hubby dearest really cares…

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

Shaved one is preferred, 'especially' in selective areas.....

It depends on individual situations and liking, who are we to worry about?

What if someone is married to a baboon and likes it?

Re: Married Women and Body Hair...

There goes my entire week. Thanks alot!
