EP 15: Feeling Female AF | The one about the bush...and other hairy things
We love a bit of bush talk and before you get excited for learning how to survive in the wilderness this isn't that kind of bush.We discuss our own hairy legs, pits, arms and vulvas and go through the various processes we have of removing any unwanted hair from them.  Not only do we realise that there is a lot of social pressure on us to remove the hair from these areas, but we have also become adjusted to feeling smoother in those areas too.So whether you're a landing strip, a Hollywood or a full bush let us know why you choose that style.If you would like to continue the conversation, please do join us in our FREE The Feeling Female AF Lounge on Facebook.
