Not like HOW physically do you shave or whatever, but in what... condition? Haha. Totally natural? The opposite of totally natural, or something in between?
Totally natural. But with a shaved bikini line because it's South Florida and I spend a lot of time at the pool and beach. I gave up brazilians when I lost my job and went back to school and hate the aftermath of shaving with the passion of a thousand burning suns. Sometimes I use DH's trimmer.

Opposite of all-natural, probably since I was 14. I used to get brazilian waxes, but at this point, the thought of one makes me cringe. I've been trying to make up for it with shaving, but I keep stumbling upon areas I've missed. I may ask DH to pick up my slack. How romantic.
I have always shaved... Until Sunday when I attempted to shave without being able to see anything and ended up with the worst razor burn which is still healing. I'm not sure what I'll do now, maybe enlist the help of a mirror and trimmer, but I will not be attempting a blind shave again!
I use clippers and a hand mirror. I like a very small triangle. Can't go bare, I did once and just didn't like the look. My SO joked and said it made me look younger haha but he preferred a little something...
I embrace the bush. My hair doesn't get too thick, though. I keep the length trimmed every now and then with grooming scissors or the Schick trimmer, and shave the edges for bathing suit season.
I am natural at the moment and it is driving me nuts. I need to get a trimmer or something. I don't like being smooth but I like it trimmed. My hair is fine and light and not terribly thick so being timmed is nice.
Something in between for me. Especially these days, because I can't reach anything or see. Normally I shave my bikini line and just keep the rest trimmed super short.

I prefer Brazilians but not while pg - dr. gave a no go. Sometimes I get cheap and/or lazy and then try to shave but I refuse to shave it all off because of the razor burn that I often experience. When not waxed I shave the sides...it can get unruly down there.
I have a few friends that did laser hair removal and I would totally consider that one day.
I'm liking the idea of using clippers...except I can't imagine what a mess it must be to clean. When DH uses his clippers for his chest or whatever I'm cleaning hair for.ever.
Used to shave all, but have switched to a trimmer for a buzz cut lately with no shaving (I can't deal with the razor burn). I'm probably overdue for another trim. Ugh...
Pretty close to natural. I trim with scissors. I get really, really bad razor burn when I shave there, even with terrific shaving cream and new razors. It is even less attractive than the hair.
I used to get brazillians and i was taking a break for the winter, then i got KU'd. so now i have bought a couple of different trimmers.. i like to try and keep it clean.. i have a mirror but still didnt get it all.. but im doing my best at this point. i havent been able to see that area for a while now!
I prefer it completely bare. Unfortunately I have felt a bit lazy about things lately so it's not kept up to my normal but I've gotten pretty good at doing it blindly! I usually only miss a tiny bit. I'll have DH help me get everything before we go in to deliver DD.
Normally completely bare but my belly is getting so big I have to mostly go by touch so I know I miss some spots. I have been considering getting it waxed as we get closer to the due date but I will probably chicken out.
Completely natural. No shaving. I don't even know where one would learn why or when or how to shave down there.
Seriously? It's not rocket science to learn how to shave down there.
I imagine you shave your legs or your armpits? I imagine you didn't need to take a class to learn how to do so. And if you did...well, there's more I can say on the matter.

I keep it all bare. I can't stand having hair down there, especially with it being so hot.
That being said, I even shaved it all off while I was in labor with DD. SO got so mad - "You could have sliced her head open!"
Lol.
I'm all bare too. I shaved in labor too before going to the hospital. No way was I going to have everyone see me all stubbly!
