Yeah, it hurts. But I did it bit by bit the first time. Trim everything down or it's *really* painful. Once you get everything clean, then touch-ups hurt a *lot* less. I'm too chicken to use the damn thing on my legs. I don't mind shaving my legs and pits, but I *hate* upkeep on the bikini area. Hate stubble. Hate the hassle. I'll put up with the pain every few days to a week instead.

Cause I happen to LOVE a prominent labia minora on a woman. It's so damn sexy, it's incredible. To me, it's the height of feminity. When she spreads her legs, it looks like a butterfly. When she's walking up to the bed and you can see the lips haning out, you get turned on.

I have a few vivid sexual memories burned into my brain. One I remeber, 20 years ago probably, I was having sex with my then GF in university in her parents' bathroom. They had a HUGE mirror and we were doing it facing each other standing up. I remember watching my cock slid in and out of her and every time I withdrew, her huge lips just gripped my cock like a warm hand, trying to hold onto it that extra second while it slid out of there. Maybe it all stems from there.

All pussies are good, but I am always THRILLED when I see the big pouty vertical lips.

(only go there if you want to see pussies with full beautiful lips.)

I walk around with a scrotum the size of a large change purse.

If I can handle that, you can preserve those beautiful feminine lips of yours.

For what it's worth, I think prominent labia are really sexy, too.

First, I'll say I know nothing about this, but have you tired wearing this type of underwear or even mens boxers? Or maybe you could go with no underwear...just don't wear jeans.

I never really thought much about mine... its decent looking and I like to keep it shaved. I feel cleaner that way.

I second that. They remind me of pretty ruffles or lace. I used to wish that I had something like that. But now that I hear how uncomfortable they can be, I'm glad I'm just me.

Other topic (but still pertinent to the thread). Years ago, in the middle of my annual 'female exam' the NP asked if I had ever seen my cervix. I was mortified at first, finding the annuals themselves embarassing at best. Before I could answer she whipped out a mirror. Pink (like it's supposed to be), and reminded me of a pair of lips puckered for a kiss, but with no wrinkles. It was kind of interesting.

Yeah... I'm not so sure about those. I'm sure the problem is that I wear thongs/g-strings all the time... I don't even own a different style! I've done it for years so anything else just feels so uncomfortable, I should work on that.

Glad to hear you all like larger labia! You're all very comforting!

Jenna

Thanks! I totally agree with everything you said! I mean, I used to be so insecure about them that I refused to have sex/show anyone them. I didn't want anyone to see my vulva. I was so afraid of getting made fun of... and back then I was in High School. You can imagine what type of rumors would be spread around, especially when guys at that level equate larger labia minora to a "lose" pussy.

I've gotten a lot better but honestly, they do really get in the way, a lot! And I can imagine they get in the way with your tight swimsuits as a lifeguard.

Can you really envision yourself getting to the point that you're with a guy, you like each other, then he dumps you because he doesn't like the look of your cooter? It's not something that's really out there to be seen (at least for most people, I know one person who's a colossal attention whore, and everyone has seen hers because of the way she dresses.)

My vagina is pretty good to me. I do, however, have to deal with soreness from over-zealous sexual activities. I get really tight when I get really turned on and close to an orgasm.. which often results in a couple of internal sore spots. It makes sex really uncomfortable for the next couple of days, and somewhat uncomfortable for about a week. I've been able to have sex often enough lately that it seems as though the sore spots never totally heal.. they just get irritated again within a week.

Of course I occasionally deal with a yeast infection, a UTI, or some bad menstrual cramps.. but overall my vagina and I are becoming better friends as time goes on.

I'd have to say that I have a love/hate relationship with mine. I take very good care of it and it's still not nice to me all the time. UTIs and other infections used to be a real big problem for me, and they still are for the most part (not getting sex nearly as often though). I also have uneven labia which I really hate, and would definitely consider getting corrected if I had the money.

But alas, it works most of the time, and sometimes it works quite well..so I guess I shouldn't complain.

No but I don't necessarily want to have a relationship with every man I sleep with.

I like mine. Actually, I have to say I like my vag more than my breasts. I walk around without underwear much more than i do without a bra (pending location of roommates).

I have also discovered that my vag doesnt like hormones. As such, quitting my birth control means the return of a strong and unpredictable sex drive. And when i say that, I periodically find it having its way with the poor guy next to me in the middle of the night without any notice or polite inquiries on its part (granted, he never complains).

I am now that girl. The girl who is (periodically) ran by my vagina. And its fun =)

I wish that high school guys were not such jack asses, the vaginal is a beautiful thing and no one should have fears about it. All you ladies have nothing to worry about!

xxSquirtxx

I love mine. In fact, I pulled out one of my avatars in honor of this thread.

I love how wet it gets when I'm aroused. I love how tight it is. I love how quickly I can orgasm. I love to watch it being fucked.

For you ladies who shave, I can't praise the Fusion highly enough. That thing is awesome.

I like my vagina, its pretty awesome

I have longer labia like some of the women in this thread, but I've never really had any problems with that. I was a figure skater and ballet dancer until I was 18, and those tight outfits pretty much show everything, and even then, no problems.

My mom is sexually ignorant (no joke) and actually flipped out years and years ago when I was a little kid, and my labia started to lengthen....how sad is that? Ah well...

As far as pussy grooming, I'm never that consistent. It all depends on how much time I have free if I want to shave. Nowadays, I'm too busy to bother, and so I just keep it trimmed, and if I have free time, and feel like being clean-shaven, will do so. I don't have a wild forest of growth down there to begin with, so its no big deal.

*grins* I'm glad I did shave though, it helped me discover I have a beauty mark between my outer and inner labia...and, call me crazy, I don't care, I think its damn sexy... at least, it makes me feel sexy.

1) The epilator looks like a horrifying machine of death

2) "The older I get (it happens, can't be stopped) the more I realize the sexiest part of a woman is her mind. Granted, I'm not interested in climbing "Mt. Whole Lotta Roise" with open sores. But give me average, natural looks with a knock out mind and I'll take that every time over little miss perfect who's perfectly stupid or shallow." I completely agree, though I must interject that age is not the only consideration. I'm 23 and I say if I can't have a good intelligent conversation with her, what's the point in having her around at all?

Thanks for the tip. I noticed the guys in their shaving topic talking about that one too. I was happy when I managed to find it at a reasonable price today--haven't had the chance to use it yet, tho.

Now I just wish I could find that "Curel Smooth Legs" stuff that I've seen mentioned a few times. Looked in two stores and couldn't find it ;/ I don't suppose anyone knows what store might have it?

loquitur

Jenna, allow me to add my voice to the chorus of men who love prominent labia and can't imagine why you'd want to go under the knife. Then again, easy for me to say because I'm not the one who is uncomfortable. However, before you get surgery - which always carries risk - maybe try wearing different panties for a while and see how that goes?
