Should I shave my pubic hair?

It’s really a personal choice. Truth is, most women and men don’t shave their pubic hair, but some do. Pubic hair does serve a purpose. It provides warmth and padding, and traps dirt and germs that can get inside and cause an infection. When people shave their pubic hair, they usually itch while the hair grows back. This sensitive skin area can also become irritated and sore without hair covering it.

If you do decide to shave, take a warm bath first to and use a new, clean razor. Most people find it helpful to use shaving cream or gel. Shave in the direction of the hair growth. When you shave against the direction of the hair growth, that's when you are most likely to see irritated bumps afterwards. Then put on some lotion or powder like TendSkin to help avoid itching and irritation.

Other options are trimming pubic hair with scissors or trimmers and waxing.

i got.. active with my guy a few nights ago, and i was
really worried, and all i could say was, "I'm just nervous
I'll gross you out..." then when he got his hands down
there, he just looked at me and was like, "How would that
gross me out?" and that made me so happy.. Thanks for the
advice, guys!

It's all good.

i've shaved my pubic hair a couple of times. but the i got
these like pimple things and idk why i got them but i didn't
like having it so hairy. Fortuntely my boyfriend doesnt care
how it looks to him. he actually kinda likes it more
hairy-ish than "all brazilian" (no hair at all) so now i
just trim it. and it is less work!

If you are set on the idea of shaving your pubic area, I
would suggest trying some of the suggestions listed above to
try and reduce some of the bumps and irritation you are
experiencing. You can also get some feedback from people
who have done waxing, keeping in mind that this is a very
sensitive area. You should also know that some people like
pubic hair and it can be a turn-on. You should be
comfortable with your body, so I suggest doing whatever is
going to make YOU most comfortable.

i don't want to leave it down there, because i've talked to
a friend my age who says she ALWAYS shaves before doing
anything with her guy. the thing is, when i shave, my skin
gets SUPER irritated, like red bumps that look like zits and
stuff. and its always a little bit stubbly. i'm just
wondering if waxing hurts so bad that i should avoid it all
together? will it help any of my problems? or should i just
trim and risk the embarrassment of my boyfriend not liking
it.

i shave my pubic hair and i believe it makes your penis look
bigger when you shave espically around the shaft bottom of
it and you dont get cum in the hair

I agree with freakybig

I shave my balls and trim the rest. It makes it neater and
it makes your penis look bigger. Most girls seem to like it
too.

I have been shaving my pubic area for a few years now.I have
received no negative response from it whatsoever.I believe
most women find it rare but attractive. I don't experience
any discomfort as I only TRIM closely above my penis but
SHAVE my scrotum smooth.It looks great, and yes,I think it
does give the appearance of having more hanging.

First let me say that shaving your pubic hair is a very
personal choice. Some people do, but many people do not.
Try not to be ashamed of your body regardless of what you
decide. Some people find pubic hair very attractive.
Trimming is different then shaving in that it shortens the
hair by using clippers or a buzzer like a barber would use
for a haircut. There is still some (shorter) hair left and
this process will generally cause less irritation then
shaving. I hope that helps!
