Waxing with LS

One of my biggest issues is my public hair... as long as it's short I'm OK. But if I get it too short then I get pretty irritated. If I leave it too long it's a nightmare. I used to wax everything in that area years ago. Just wondering if anyone has had luck with it? Currently I just trim... no shaving. Any suggestions?

    I can't imagine ever waxing. Ouch!!!! I have the same problem. Too long I get sore. Too short I get sore. I just trim. I think it works like this. Some hair protects like a barrier to you from being rubbed sore by knickers. Too long and the hair can be easily pulled and cause soreness that way by rubbing against you.

      Consolation as I get older the hair is getting sparse and slow-growing so I trim less often.

      Hi Karen,  You couldn't make this up. Had my cast off on Friday 1st and got a walking boot.  Monday 4th I fell over, broke a toe on my good foot, soft tissue injury to my ankle/heel that was operated on, and slight sprain to my wrist. Painfully getting around now.  Hubby on holiday soon so I am hoping he will be able to get some rest.  He has been a godsend.  Doing everything.  I hope you are well.  Lovely day here today.  Hopefully we will have some summer soon. xx

      Hi Karen, looks like you had a late night last night. I hope things are okay for you. I am starting to wonder about my bones and am thinking that when I have recovered from this I am going to ask for a bone scan to check for osteoporosis.

      Terrible news from France last night. Makes you realise how lucky you actually are.

      You must get as much rest as possible too and look after yourself. You didn't say what is wrong but I hope things improve for you soon.

      All you and I need is a flare up of ls which happens at times like this. Take care xxx
