Amanda M. submitted this commercial for a bikini razor and trimmer. Notice how order, beauty, and civility in horticulture is linked with taking the razor and scissors to your pubic hair. God forbid it be unruly, as bushes are in nature.
I suppose I should be glad that none of the bushes just shriveled up and disappeared entirely. And I am.

I direct you to Amanda Palmer (of Dresden Dolls)'s youtube video "Map of Tasmania."

big hairy bush is gross. it was acceptable when we didn't know better, but now that we do, trim!
...i'm a guy and i trim/shave depending on my mood, a little less often than i shave my face.

When we didn't "know better"? I respectfully disagree. What's more, I fail to see what harm there is in having yet another tuft of hair on one's body, male or female. It's not as if the average person is so negligent of their hygiene that they need to worry about fostering nits or something. "Gross" is a matter of aesthetic taste (and taste is a matter of socialisation?)

Love the tagline too: Free Your Skin. Didn't know it was locked up!

I wonder if it actually can shave everything much better than a normal razor. I started shaving of my own free will, even before I did anything sexual just because I was curious. Ever since then, I cannot stand having hair down there and even though I admit it is a chore to have to shave, it is worth it to me in the end because I love the smooth feeling. I guess there should not be a pressure to shave, but those of us who do should not be made to feel like we are being forced to.

I have to agree with the person just passing through: I have never been happy with the fact that hair has to grow on my genitals since the moment I first discovered that it happens. I put up with it for years till one day my boyfriend found out how I felt and said "you know, you can shave it off". I felt rather silly for not having thought of that before! I'm sure I'm not the only person who shaves because I hate hair, not because of social pressure.

This is a pink version of the male razor with attached beard trimmer - if the the bush completely disappeared there would be nothing to trim making the product unnecessary. It has nothing to do with their saying some hair is acceptable, unfortunately.

Another version, perhaps worse:
