I booked a leg wax before my first date in two years. Just my legs. That's all I was thinking about. The therapist finished and then asked me something I didn't understand at first: "Are you grooming your private parts too? I ask because I have a lot of clients your age starting to date again. Most of them don't know it's expected until someone tells them." I was 67 years old. I didn't know. I genuinely had no idea that grooming down there was something women my age were supposed to do. And that Thursday afternoon, lying on a treatment table after what was supposed to be a routine leg wax, I found out I'd been completely unaware of something that apparently everyone around me already knew. Let me explain where I was in life. I got divorced two years ago. Twenty-nine years of marriage. The recovery was long and quiet. But piece by piece I'd rebuilt. And that spring I decided I was ready to try dating again. I was excited. I booked the leg wax to feel smooth and prepared for my first date the following Saturday. I wasn't thinking about anything else. Then Jade asked her question. "Are you grooming your private parts too?" I stared at the ceiling. "Sorry?" "For dating. Women your age who are dating again. Most of them groom down there now. Modern dating expects it. I have this conversation a lot. I ask because I'd feel terrible if you went on this date not knowing." "I didn't know that was expected." "I know. That's why I ask. Are you currently doing anything down there? Shaving? Waxing?" "Nothing. I wasn't aware I needed to." She nodded slowly. Like she'd heard this before. Because she had. "Okay. So there are two things I need to tell you. The first is that yes—men your age now expect women to be groomed down there. This shift happened while most of us were inside our marriages. The world changed. And women who've been divorced or widowed for a while and are coming back to dating often find this out the hard way. I'm trying to make sure you don't." "How do they find out?" "A man says something during an intimate moment. Something kind but unexpected. Something they can't unhear." My chest went tight. "What's the second thing you need to tell me?" "That how you groom down there matters as much as whether you groom at all. And I see women make the wrong choice about this constantly." "What are the wrong choices?" "Razors. Waxing. Both wrong for women our age. And both for specific reasons." She sat down. "A razor cuts the hair at the surface. The moment it starts growing back—which is immediately—it has a thick blunt cut edge. Stubble. You could shave every single day with the most expensive razor available and you'd still have rough blunt regrowth within 24 hours. Because the problem isn't your technique or your razor. It's what shaving physically does to the hair. It cuts it. Cut hair grows back blunt. Every single time. Forever. That's not a razor problem you can fix. That's a method problem. Razors are the wrong method. Full stop." "What about waxing?" "Our skin loses elasticity as we age. Waxing causes micro-tears in mature skin it wouldn't cause at 30. I've watched clients in their 60s have reactions that younger clients never experience. My dermatologist colleague stopped recommending intimate waxing for women over 55 entirely. Said cream is the only method she endorses for that age group now. And laser won't work—most of our hair is grey or white and laser needs dark pigment to function." "So what do women our age actually do?" "Cream. Hair removal cream specifically made for mature skin. Dissolves the hair below the surface. Regrowth has its natural soft tapered tip. Stays smooth for weeks not days. No stubble. No razor burn. Nothing that looks concerning. You do it at home in eight minutes." "Eight minutes?" "Sitting on the edge of your bath. A little spoon that comes with it. Apply it. Eight minutes. Wipe it off. That's the entire thing. No appointments. No lying on a table. No pain. Eight minutes every few weeks." "Do you use it yourself?" "For three years. I stopped waxing myself when I tried it. I'm a waxing therapist who doesn't wax her own intimate area anymore. That's how different it is." She wrote down the name on a small card. Snatched. I drove home and called my friend Carol immediately from the car park. She's 65. Divorced three years ago. Dating again. "Carol. Did you know grooming down there was expected for dating? At our age?" Silence. Then: "Oh Barbara. Yes. Of course." "Why didn't you tell me?" "I thought you knew. All our friends know. It's just standard now. I've been grooming for two years." "Has anyone tried laser or waxing first?" "Linda tried laser. Grey hair. Barely worked. Two sessions and she stopped. Patricia tried waxing once after her divorce. Too painful on skin that's just different now. We all ended up on cream because nothing else made sense for us." "What do you use?" "Snatched. All of us. Seven women I know personally. Same product. Made for women our age. None of us are shaving. None of us are waxing. All of us are using cream." "Why didn't anyone tell me?" "Because we thought you knew. We talk about it sometimes. I thought you were part of those conversations." I sat in my car thinking about the date on Saturday. About what might have happened if Jade hadn't asked her question. About the conversation I would have had that I now wouldn't have to have. I ordered Snatched that evening. It arrived two days later. Bath edge. Little spoon. Applied it. Eight minutes. Wiped it off. Completely smooth. I stood in my bathroom thinking about everything I hadn't known twenty-four hours ago. That grooming was expected. That razors created the wrong regrowth. That waxing wasn't right for our skin anymore. That every woman in Carol's circle had figured this out and I'd been outside the conversation entirely. Saturday's date was wonderful. No awkward moments. No unexpected conversations. Second date the following week. Third date last Saturday. And at no point during any of it did I think about grooming. Because a therapist asked one question during a routine leg wax and told me what nobody else had thought to tell me. Before: booking a leg wax and thinking that was all I needed to prepare. Completely unaware that anything else was expected. One question away from finding out the hard way. After: eight minutes. Consistently smooth. Walking into dating knowing what everyone else already knew. The therapist told me she asks this question at every appointment now. "Because the women who find out from me go home informed," she said. "The women who find out from a man go home crying." I don't know how many other women are booking leg waxes right now thinking that's all the preparation they need. Not knowing there's a conversation they're one date away from having. Not knowing a world they weren't part of has expectations they've never been told about. I was one of them four months ago. If you're reading this and you've been thinking about dating again— This is the conversation Jade would want to have with you. She just can't reach you. So I'm having it instead. Eight minutes. That's all it takes to be prepared.
