I'm wondering how common it is for women and girls to use a mirror and inspect themselves. Do you just let your boyfriend or husband do that job? Do you only do it when you can feel something wrong? If you shave down there, would you need to use a mirror? Or do you not care to look at it and don't feel any need to?

(I really have no clue on this, and for some reason I was thinking about it this morning when I woke up )

By squatting and tilting my head I'm able to see a significant portion of "down there." I don't use a mirror when shaving. I'd be more likely to miss hairs if I went by what I could see rather than what I feel. My eyes are terrible anyway.

I've used a mirror a couple of times to see what I look like. More for curiosity than anything. I'll feel any irregularity before I'll catch it visually.

Same here.

I can look at myself if I hitch a leg up on the edge of my sink in the bathroom mirror, but I don't often need to.

Rarely, unless something feels off.
I, too, can see mostly everything though Feats of Flexibility, but I use an electric razor and go by feel if I'm shaving.
I don't find it an area that's attractive enough to stare at in mirror, but I've checked myself out in the past. Probably has been 4 - 5 years since I felt like I needed to in any great detail.
My ex used to "Inspect" from time to time, just out of curiosity. Didn't bother me much.

Shaving, I go by feel like everyone else. But I've been known to break out the mirror and check things out from time to time. I recall experimenting with self love in front of a mirror. It was very erotic.

Like all the other women that have posted, its not something regularly done. In fact, the last time I really looked at myself was one of my photos. Heh. Its not a particularly attractive area to me. And when I shave, I go by feeling. Better than tilting my neck and getting a kink in it. And there's no need to inspect. My gyno does that enough with pap smears and all...-_-

Just like most other girls, shaving is best accomplished by feel. I haven't used a mirror to look dawn there in a long time.

I really need to get to the Opthamologist to see if my eyeglass prescription has changed. I read that as "Rarely, unless something falls off." I'm like...WHAT?!?


Carry on.

I don't feel any need to look. I shave by feel.

I'm 42 so I sorta know what it looks like but when I was younger I would throw a leg on the vanity and take a look see every now and then.

If something from "down there" falls off of me , I'm definately going to be taking a look!

I can check it out with the 'leg up' technique too. I usually shave by feel but I tend to go for waxing if I can. I look down there with a mirror regularly - maybe once a month. There's lots of things that can be going on that you can't tell by feeling around or from any 'sensation' you might have. Better to be safe than sorry. And actually, I rather like the look of my lower region... I think every woman should know what they look like down there, with detail. It's one thing to see it in a book, and to feel around, but to see and know yourself is far better.

To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

I have a mirrored ceiling so I look pretty often.

Ok, no I don't. But I'd say maybe once / month maybe.
