Pubic hair problems

Do you think it would be a good idea to braid my pubic hair for my boyfriend?  Would he like it?  Also what are the potential health risks, am I risking collecting more dirt when I use public washrooms and such?

Your  pubic hair is long enough to braid? If you want to surprise the boyfriend just trim it up a bit.

I don't know.  I hope not.  I keep thinking about it, though.  I keep wondering, how do you get it to grow that long?  Then I wonder why would you want it too?

I read the title and my gut told me not to pull up the thread.  Why didn't I listen?   How could anyone stand to have pubic hair that long and why would you want to braid it?  
I'm wondering if this is the same poster who awhile back wondered if pubic hair could be a barrier to getting pregnant.   YUCK!!!!!!

If this is a serious post, then I would say it really wouldn't be very attractive to braid pubic hair, wouldn't dangling make it in the way more?  Ewww..  Anyway, as far as cleanliness goes because your hair is braided you can't clean the hair inside of the braid even though it will get dirty.  So I can't imagine you'll smell very good after a couple of days. I would suggest that you trim it up, if you want it to be cute, not like guys really look that closely anyway, you could go to a salon and have them wax you and they can shape.  You could even dye it and make it look like a strawberry.  As pointless and expensive and ridiculous as that seems (too many women actually do it!) it's better than braiding it.

ladies-  she's the same poster that want's to wear pads while swimming.   Can you imagine using pads and having pubic hair long enough to braid?  Scary to imagine what that would look like with a swimming suit on.  
Anyone else have the urge to avoid swimming pools now?

I love you ladies--
This thread has me literally rolling on the floor laughing my butt off--
The *puking* comment was my fave.

I think that Mal is right, the odor would be really bad.  

My sister has a friend who didn't know how to use tampons, so she thought it would be okay for her to wear a pad with a bathing suit.  Well, the suit was a little big, so it kinda gaped open at the bottom.  She sat on the side of the pool, and the whole audience got a free show of her maxi pad.  Additionally, when she got in the pool (by that time, she had cleared everyone else out) the pad exploded like a diaper...and they had to close the public pool for 24 hours while they drained/treated it.

Definitely not a good idea to use a pad in the pool.  

As far as this particular thread?  Just the thought of having long pubic hair and even considering a bathing suit is enough to make me *gag*.  Why do you think they created "bikini waxes".  You may not want to shave, but for the benefit of all the rest of the folks enjoying their swim, please consider cutting your hair.

Maybe she could donate it to the chick in "Beauty" who had her hair messed up by the beauty school.

Hey, that donating it to the other girl who's hair got messed up was a really good idea.  Why don't you run on over to Beauty and suggest it to her?  I hear she's really a very nice and understanding young lady who's open to all sorts of suggestions.hahahahaha  LOL
