I've shaved them off once or twice. But it took me until 14 or 15 to get my pubes, so I'm in no hurry to get rid of them.

I trim it to keep it under control since it can grow rather crazy. But no shaving for me, tried it before and the itch is not worth it also the feeling of underwear directly on the more sensitive skin is very unpleasant to me.

Sometimes I shave along the top and around the edges to try to keep it from sticking out of my underwear (not that anyone usually sees me in my underwear, but sometimes I worry about what if there's some sort of medical emergency that would involve someone seeing me in my underwear). Other times I don't feel like bothering. Depends on how self-conscious I'm feeling.

I leave mine alone completely. I tried shaving everything off once when I was younger because I thought I was "supposed" to, but I hated the shaving process and it growing back was very uncomfortable. I don't think I really have any reason to need to get rid of them.

Uh I can't use the poll

I shave some of it (more than a strip is left) and sometimes trim the rest. I tried waxing once, hurt like a mother_7#;34. So not doing that again. I find natural really uncomfortable.

Btw those having a hard time with bumps, pimples, and ingrowns - Exfoliate. You can use a scrub the first time, make sure you've heated the skin then shave. Use a light moisturizer on the area. For matience you can pick up a BHA (or keep up the scrub, your choice), using that routinely should keep shaving irritation down. I use my BHA after showering/shaving and if I feel like it I might light moisturize after too. You might need to figure out what makes a "best" routine for you to keep irritation at bay but the key is the BHA/exfoliater.

When I was a teenager I had a pretty massive bush, it didn't even bother me. I never had sex. Then I started to go to the swimming pool and was embarrassed of pubes sticking out of a swimsuit. I've used my mom's gillette to fix the bikini line.
At 21 yo I met a guy and my sex life has begun. He never asked me to do anything with my hair down there, but I've noticed he was manscaped well - clean and beautiful. I liked it a lot. So I decided to make a landing strip, bought myself a shaving cream and a razor. It was a disaster! I did it in the end, but it was unpleasant and I cut myself a bit. So I've asked my bf how he handles it. He recommended me to buy an [/url]. And I did, it is perfect! Fast, no pain, easy to clean, no need to buy fresh razors etc. So if you have the same issue I had - take an advice and buy any decent trimmer.

Unlike the leg, which some people might have an issue with because it's visible, I do not understand why people would shave their genitalia unless they are very athletic. It doesn't seem logical. For example I wear bathing suits with the little skirt or a shorts-like bottom.

I'm feeling stupid. What does athleticism have to do with shaving genetalia? I know that elite endurance sport people (running, cykling, swimming etc) shave arms and legs to decrease wind resistance, but genetalia?


I think some women don't like their pubic hairs being seen around the outside of their bathing suit or any other sports garments that don't cover the legs.

When I was about 15 I actually got into trouble for having short shorts on that showed my pubes each time I sat down with my knees up. I was at a friend's who had little brothers and sisters, and my friend's mum didn't say anything but she rang my mum in private, and the next day my mum pulled me into my bedroom to talk about how "bad" it is to go around with short shorts on without shaving around under your legs below your buttocks (yes, pubic hair grows there too, but I don't know what that area is called, hopefully you know where I mean). I felt embarrassed after that, but I also felt annoyed that when you see guys with hair anywhere nobody says anything but if a woman has any body hair everyone freaks out like it's unnatural or illegal. But really, it's just as natural on your body as what the hair on your head is.

More of "landing strip" only because I'm self conscious about having it show when I'm wearing a swimsuit.

Mostly natural (occasionally I'll do some maintenance), and shaving areas that shorts/bathing suits don't cover.

I've left mine natural, shaved, waxed, trimmed but still bushy, a strip, everything pretty much. Now I use a mens beard trimmer as I no longer have the will to contort my body to shave or wax down there, nor am I willing to deal with ingrown hairs, itchiness, etc that results for me no matter what. This is my personal preference if a sexual partner needs something else then they need not be my sexual partner. I'm bisexual if my partner ask what I prefer it is simple I have no preference, I want them to do what they feel comfortable with for themselves, no matter their plumbing below the belt.
If I had an absurd amount of financial success I would consider laser hair removal. Leaving a wide 'landing strip'. I doubt my frugal, thrifty, cheap ways would ever allow me to be financially willing/able to justify that expense, lol. :wink: :D

I have no idea what to do with it.
I'd just do whatever if it suits me to do anything with it at all. :o


Because I don't go out on bikinis, I have no sexual partners, and I had non-existent preference over the matter... Not even sensory-wise.
