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!

You need to shave
You need to keep your opinions to yourself, it's her body not yours, you can have an opinion but you don't get to tell people how to take care of their own body because it doesn't follow your views. Besides it's only hair like??? You afraid of eyebrows too dude?
Wow, it's ridiculous how many comments are about how it's gross/telling OP to shave. OP should do whatever the hell she wants with her own hair. It's just hair.
I love that you're a guy and you're saying this!! The **** industry has made this shaving thing way too big a deal.
IMO It's especially weird that so many girls/women are saying it's gross
Since you said "panties" I'm assuming you're a girl...so why are you even having this problem?
Because women grow hair as well. It's her choice to shave it or not. Gender shouldn't matter in this FML.
60 I bet you stanky
Settle down feminazi. On multiple occasions I've shaved my armpits and found that they smell less. Hair of the pubic variety is meant to capture smells, ie: pheromones. So please, take your pseudoscience elsewhere. Oh, and my girlfriend washes my armpits for me, so I'm sure I smell lovely!
I find it funny that it's mainly men commenting say that's gross and you need to shave. Guys get the **** over yourself. Some people shave and some don't. No one should feel obligated to do it. Same for men. But if that's the way you think then I sure hope every part of you is shaved- legs, pubes, underarms and face.
Definitely not my opinion. Of the women it has been my pleasure to be involved with, some were shaved, some liked to trim, and some "let it go." I have no outright preference. I also don't expect anyone to demand I shave; I'm furred head-to-toe. The amount of product needed to remove all that (and the tickles of regrowth) would make the process well outside my budget.
YDI for not shaving like a normal person
Might be time for a shave..
True
Eww! You need to shave!
NO ONE NEEDS TO SHAVE! But girl you need to groom!
