Today, I saw one one of my cat's hairs on my sweatpants and wanted to remove it. It wasn't a cat hair, but a pubic hair that has found its way through my panties and sweatpants while being still attached to me. FML

PeppermintPenny tells us more.

OP here, hi. I REALLY can’t believe this got posted. Out of all the times I tried, this FML had to be my first that got published. I would’ve preferred some others, but that’s what you get for trying I guess. I bet you’re all wondering about my age, I’m 19. Being completely curious about the background of most FMLs, I promised myself I’d do a follow-up no matter what, so here it is. It seems my post has divided the community. I trim! Thanks to everyone jumping to my defense saying that unshaven/untrimed hair isn’t strong enough to pierce through clothing. It has grown a little longer in the last couple of weeks since I’m currently at home for the semester break and left my trimmer in my apartment at the university (I have a seperate razor for my armpits). But its still in a normal range even if I say so myself. To the event itself: I haven’t been feeling well the last few days and had been wearing the sweatpants, that are a little on the flimsy side, for a little over 24 hours. I was with my family but they didn’t pay attention to me. In our house everywhere is cat hair, so its not a notable thing to pick a few of the cats hairs of your clothing. Imagine my surprise when I tried removing that particular hair and I felt a tuck. It didn’t hurt, like some might think, cause I don’t rip cat hair from my clothing. I got up, washed my hands and moved my sweatpants around so it was tucked back in. Not a permanent solution, I know, but I do plan on taking care of it this week. I hope you all understand that I mean I will trim this week. To all those people saying „EWWW, OP YOU HAVE TO SHAVE“: I’m not here to please you and I can do whatever I want with my body as long as it doesn’t affect others and believe me, this sure as hell doesn’t affect you, so please hold back your unwanted advice. On the hygienic viewpoint: I have never read this much about vaginal care at once, and that on FML. While you can do whatever you feel right about, don’t lecture me on what you THINK is best. I like lifestyle advice best with facts that have been scientifically proven. Ratings in the **** industry don’t count. The pro bush front almost has me convinced to let it sprout, because it appears to have a lot of (hygienic) advantages, but I think I strike the happy medium and keep with neat trimming. I would ask my boyfriend on his preference, but I’m single (always have been and fear that I always will be, but I think that‘s another FML altogether). I hope I answered most of your questions. I’m purposly not answering all of them, but if you ask nicely and respectfully maybe I will. Thanks again to those who defended me and didn’t assume I was a unhygienic, disgusting bitch, just because I let my pubic hair grow a little. You’re the best and I really feel accepted here and much better about the FML. Without you, there probably wouldn’t be a follow-up. Also some comments really made me laugh out loud, keep up the good work!

It's literally just hair. Why is that gross? May I ask if you find pubic hair on men gross as well?

I find it kind of gross on both women and men. And armpit hair. It's not "just" hair.

It's fine to have a preference, I just think it's ridiculous when people think they have the right to tell others what to do with their body hair.

People should do whatever they feel like doing with their bodies, I don't disagree with that, but as said above I don't find it's as hygienic as it would be if shaven or trimmed.

The **** industry is winning the struggle

You are dead wrong. Learn a book. You may personally find it to be unhygienic or gross, however modern medicine tells us otherwise. Literally the only reason women even shave is because of the sex industry. But you are more likely to get an STI or UTI when you have no pubic hair. On top of it you are putting your beauty ideals on others. Go crawl back under your rock.

I disagree that the only reason why is because of the sex industry, I personally have been shaving since a young age when I had no idea about anything, I just felt it was better cleanliness wise. I never disagreed about STIs or whatnot, I was just talking about every day hygiene. Also, I never mentioned beauty ideals either. So there's no need to be rude and tell me to "learn" a book and crawl back under my rock when I haven't said one insulting thing, asshole.

Actually it is slightly more hygienic to at least trim because stuff can get caught in the hairs which is kinda gross. Warning: Graphic TMI below Like before I started waxing, even my trimmed hair was kind of long and I couldn't wear pads because my period would get caught in the hair and get all matted to the point of not being able to untangle it without taking a full shower. This gets especially gross when peeing and just hoping all of it finds its way out of your pubic hair. Bleugh!

The hair is there for a reason. It is there to keep bacteria out. Also girls who shave or wax are more likely to have nasty looking labia meaning brown and wrinkly from the friction of pants/panties.

What's also impressive is the amount of assholes who think they can tell her how to take care of her body.

Another thing that is impressive is your ability to judge someone as an asshole based on a single comment that they wrote online..( probably as a joke in some cases?)

The Bush administration ended two terms ago Get with the times!

WTF! Better start trimming the hedges

If you puked because of THAT then I'd hate to see how you'd be in a scary movie, preferably SAW or Jeepers Creepers. OP doesn't have to shave if she doesn't want to it's her body, not yours. You do what you want with yours and she will do what she wants with hers

is it weird that no mediocre by T.I. started playing while I was reading this? :D no offense just saying

And this is where you learn to get that under control
