Your unkempt bikini line has the power to help cure cancer. That’s the message of the gals who want us to unite in a pledge to stop shaving, waxing, plucking our lady gardens to raise money for the American Cancer society. It’s like Movember, but in ladies’ pants.
This video explains:
Excellent. No one likes cancer, and I don’t know anyone who particularly enjoys having their pubes ripped out by the roots. It’s the ultimate win-win.
So we’re all set? Not quite. Certainly, there are a couple of problems. Especially for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s Summer down here – it’s Christmas! So if we were to … let it grow, let it grow, let it grow, the resulting shrubbery would not be secreted beneath woolly skirts now would it?
But perhaps that’s even better? No point in hiding your light under a bushel – or your bush under a … oh, you get my point.
Also, one of the big pluses of Movember is the online gallery of mustaches – everything from the Tom Selleck to the David Boon. We’ve had a look at decembeaver.com but oddly, no gallery!
Decembeaver is really the sisterhood at its best. Just jump online and make a donation. No complicated sponsorships, no cloying emails, no ‘LOOK AT ME!’ There is trust involved; a belief that if a girlfriend tells us it’s a wilderness down there, we know it’s world-heritage quality. And worthy of a donation.
You can donate to Decembeaver‘s charity of choice, the American Cancer Society, here.

Ew. I like Movember because you can see the mustaches growing – but growing out your ‘bush?’ who’s going to know? Unless we start going pants less like Rihanna! I’m afraid I’ll just have to donate money to cancer without changing my ‘look.’

I hate the way this reinforces the act of removing pubic hair for men. I remove it once every so often but frankly my partner likes the hair and I’m sick of being told by media that I need to change even the barely seen parts of my body in order to look like a porn model and be desirable.

I’ll happily donate money to the cause but as for the commitment to hair, I have to pass. My boyfriend isn’t a fan of hair in places other than on top of the head and to put it bluntly I’m not willing to go without oral sex for a month.

Ha! Tell him to suck it up! Oral sex was invented way before waxing!

Does there really need to be a ‘response’ to Movember? The great thing about Movember is that it finally provided a way for men to attempt to raise money for men’s health issues. Breast Cancer research gets more public attention and marketing than any other health charity out there.
Pink ribbons, pink Mount Franklin, pink pink pink.

I’ll happily donate money to a local branch of the charity, but as a fully committed member of the Brazilian club, there’s no way I will be growing it out.
It’s all preference, to me it’s way cleaner and the other huge plus, I enjoy sex so much more when there is nothing in the way.

I don’t get the clean argument. Pubic hair isn’t dirty unless you don’t wash. The other benefits I’m ok with, but I don’t think this one holds up

This is a great idea for America in December, not so good for December in summer in Australia!! I did my bikini line for the first time in at least 8months because we’re going down the coast for Christmas & will go to the beach. It’s all in the novelty value with moustaches & hairy girl bits. Not such a novelty if you don’t regularly ladyscape!

And how are people supposed to see the fruits of the month so to speak? Movember’s progression is quite obvious.

Must admit, this wouldnt work for me because almost every month is Decembeaver for me. Never been a fan of itchy stubble regrowth. I’ll wax in summer every now and then, but im on the side of not really caring what I look like down there. I’m 22 so I think im an unusual one, not conforming to social expectations – But i’m yet to have a guy brave enough to complain, and god help the first guy who decides criticise my body.
But apart from that I think it’s a fantasic idea to have a ladies month as well it’s be good fun if it became as big as movember.

True dat – my experience is also that guys don’t care. Despite the ‘joke’ that guy in the video makes about pubes causing ‘sex drive cancer’

I am so with you on the year round thing. I’m 24 and haven’t had any complaints or concerns about my pubic hair (though I think we’re in the minority for having any).
Sometimes I worry about what I’d say/do if I did get criticised, but your comment reminded me that it is MY body and I shouldn’t go changing it for anyone but me. Thanks!

I love the idea, the sisterhood-ness of it, it’s a very worthy charity but….
I hate the name.
I’ve always hated the words beaver and pussy as slang for vagina. Perhaps that’s just me.

Just as a serious footnote, I see that readers are encouraged to make a donation to the American Cancer Society.
Would it be wrong for me to suggest that the Aussie donations should be directed locally ?

By the way….the model’s pubic hair looks like wheatgrass !
Imagine the price of a shot of that at the local juice bar ?

Great if you happen to live in the Northern Hemisphere, not so great here. Although on the upside it would probably be great for the makers of boy-leg swimming costumes.
loading...
I think it fair to suggest that the only whiskers that we wish to see during this part of the year are those that are attached to Santa’s face !
So…do the right thing and get yourself in a lather !

Are you going to be completely clean shaven too? No unsightly facial stubble? The full crack, sack and back done? Pubic hair is natural. If you don’t want to see it don’t bloody look.

Joke…Joyce !

How about Fanuary?
loading...
And Vaganuary. The way we’re going, this could be a quarterly thing!
loading...
Vaganuary – like it! Well it’s a year-round thing for me, you would have to pay me to make me rip out my pubes or shave them off. Actually I still wouldn’t…unless it was a LOT of cash
loading...
Agree! It would have to be in the millions for me to consider!
