I Have A Bush, Deal With It!

The amazon delivery guy delivered all my monthly necessities from my new Venus Breeze razor that promises to provide the silky smooth skin along with foaming gel and my intimate wash, its again the time to get rid of all those unwanted hair from my body lying almost everywhere legs, arms, armpits, and definitely a bush covering my private part.

The idea of pouring those hot chocolate, Rica, Italian, bikini waxes to uproot the beautiful black and brown hair has ruled almost every women since her puberty and for the sake of those sleeveless short dresses, swim suits lying in our wardrobes and mainly to fit under certain norms of our society we warm up our heart to bear the pain for an hour in order to flaunt those bare legs and armpits for at least next ten days.

Well I guess this hot wax industry has new competitions in the market as the internet has a flood when it comes to hair removal, from all those home remedies to permanent hair removal schemes as these unwanted hair which are a part of my biological process has disturbed the society in a significant manner that it has become their responsibility to get me that flawless skin.

Wondering if puberty held any rivalry against women, as men’s chest full of hair is a sign of masculinity while women’s hair aren’t considered as her femininity. Instead they serve themselves as a hindrance in our femininity, we believe a well groomed women should have a flawless and hairless body.

While there are many women whose bodies were greased with those ‘Ubtans’ during their childhood that reduced or at times removed the hair from their body, what a blessing!

Anyways hairy women you don’t have to be despondent as this process of epilation that is deliberate removal of hair, has come with new age epilators, shavers and even trimmers.

Our society which is not ready to accept you with these hair and call you feminine with them, is not even ashamed to advertise explicitly regarding the cleaning of intimate areas with intimate wash that comes with a logic to balance the PH level, what a fascination it would be to remove those hindrances which are actually the protectors of my sensitive part and then washing it to maintain the PH level.

At times I curse my curiosities for having no end and finally I browsed for the men’s intimate wash and yes they do exist then why aren’t they advertised?

Don’t we want our men to maintain their PH level or even clean their intimate areas? Whereas even their razors and trimmers serves only the purpose of grooming their beards. It’s heartening our society is not taking the steps towards grooming among men.

While I won’t mind watching a man holding a breeze razor with aloe vera and avocado oil for gliding with a flexible head to maintain a silky smooth skin as a gateway to attract women towards him.

My body is already flawless with all those hair that are natural and biological to me, they are equally required just the way the hair on my head, my eye brows, eye lashes and even the hair on a man’s body, they don’t grow with a gender in mind, removing them is equally painful for both men and women.

I might not love winters much because of the season but yes I do love winters because of the full coverage and a way to protect myself from judgements of the society.

My perfection isn’t defined by my hair even if they are, it’s definitely the matter of choice.

Don’t push me to those standardised notions framed not even considering my comfort, it’s not the hygiene that is bothering me instead it’s the unease of your thoughts while going down on me.

My little ones aren’t obstructing in the fulfilment of our desires, it’s the urge to compete with the expectations of society.
