Ok call me vain and maybe its just me but I have an internal next week and have every intention of having a good old shave of the legs and the lady bits the day before I go in. Is this incredibly vain of me or do you guys do the same?? It's obviously very personal to have a gynie poking around down there and I dont want want him/her thinking I take no pride in myself, i.e having leg hair long enough to plait or down there hair long enough to put in pig tails!!! I mean I normally keep both areas tidy but if I know I have an appointment coming up I purposely dont shave until the day before just incase I get a rare bout of razer burn which doesnt normally kick in for a couple of day!!! It is just me? Am I vain? and if it is just me.... and I am just vain... I dont care. LOL!!!

Nope! I'm the same way! I heard that gynecologists actually prefer pubic hair tidy, bc then they can see what they're doing down there! I always tidy up and shave my legs before going.

LOL ouchy you're soooo funny, "they actually prefer it so they can see what they're doing" Maybe when he asks if I have any questions at the end of the appointment I should say "Well actually I was wondering if you prefer it when women shave up before they come to see you or if you prefer the wild look"

I defo do, it's just like wanting to be dressed neatly even if you're only popping out on a few errands really. When I went to the ER the other week, as soon as I saw the doc I remembered he'd be doing an exam, and became really nervous cos I knew that the trim I was due, I hadn't had it! And bugger's luck, the blooming sheet fell to one side and I closed my eyes in despair and nearly closed my legs! It has to be done I say xx

I always shave the morning of my appointment! But about four years ago I had a female dr. do my exam, she was not my regular Dr., and she asked me why I shaved and said men do not prefer it better. I was mortified, i am sure my face turned about as bright as a tomato. How dare she tell me something like that. I think she was jealous! Ever since I have always been nervous if the Dr. will say something. Plus why was she checking out my goodies in that manner any way? Ouchy I am glad you said they actually prefer the cleaner look, it makes me feel more confident about being looked at.

If there is less hair, they can see what they're doing--same reason they shave you before surgery. So it won't get in the way. That lady was just unprofessional in saying that to you, tiff!

Yaay!!! Im not just vain !! I just think its kind of polite too, I mean if my mum was coming over I'd hoover and dust so why not have a good shave when I go to see the gynie!!! I dont like long and wild hair down there anyway, I think its look so messy and un atrractive but I do let it get a little wild a week or so before so I can have a really good clean up

I always shave the areas which i know will need to be looked at..sometimes i do it on the morning of the scan or operation. LOL a few times i've had some serious nips here and there ;D ....I'd hate to go in there looking like the Amazon .. i think it's more hygenic to be clean and baby soft in the centre point and the legs. Once i saw a programme of a woman giving birth...Ewwwww i dun think she had ever shaved down there.. the sight was revolting ..! YUK !
