The Purpose

It has been suggested that pubic hair has only one main purpose. That is that the hair helps to retain certain pheromones (scents) which are used as a powerful aphrodisiac to attract potential mates. Some also say that is used to help keep you warm down there. This has to be a myth seeing how everyone has their own opinions about pubic hair. So whatever the real purpose of pubic hair is, some people just prefer not to have any at all.

Shaving Pubic Hair Off

When shaving off your pubic hair, there are a few things you must remember to do before you start to shave. First of all, you need to have a fresh razor to avoid any irritation, infections, and in-grown hairs. Next sit in a comfortable chair with your legs above your waist and legs spread apart.

1)Trim your hair first with an electric razor, clippers, or scissors. This will help to save to the blade and will be able to get a closer cut.

2)Soak in long warm bath before. This will soften any coarse hair and it will be easier to shave and style.

3)Apply a shaving cream or gel to the area. A thin layer of petroleum jelly may also be used. Soap is not a good product to use. Having a good lather will help you get a closer cut and avoid irritation from dryness.

4)Start shaving and styling as you wish. Be sure what style you want before you start. Make sure to shave the same way your hair grows. Avoid shaving the same area constantly as this may irritate the skin. Aim for 2 or 3 strokes. You can stretch the skin for more difficult areas.

5)It is very important to clean the area after you finish shaving. This will prevent the pores from becoming clogged.

6)Moisturize the area good enough to prevent any irritation. Examples are baby oil, Aloe Vera, or baby powder. Try to avoid anything with fragrances or colors.

Be hygienic by washing the area daily and moisturizing daily. This will help to remove any unwanted oils and sweat. Also try to wear cotton underwear and loose fitting pants . Air circulation and low friction will prevent in-grown hairs.

Warnings

  • When the pubic hair grows back, itching may occur and little red bumps may appear. To relieve any itching, you can apply a cortisone cream. If it does not go away, contact a doctor.

  • People often are allergic to some shaving creams. So there are some hypo-allergenic shaving creams or you can use the petroleum jelly. The pubic hair can be very sensitive, just be careful when you use the shaving cream. If you notice itching or burning right away you may have an allergy. Wash it off right away and use something else.

  • Some women have noticed sensitivity during menstruation if shaving becomes uncomfortable for women during their periods, it might be a good idea to shave at another time.

  • If shaving does cause a lot of irritation, in-grown hairs, infection, or inflammation, there are different options you can try other than shaving. Such as waxing, hair removal creams, or laser hair removal.

  • Did you know...

    • Pubic hair is curly because of the shape of the hair follicle. The flatter the follicle the curlier the hair . During puberty, sex hormones float around the body turning all the follicles in the pubic area flat, curly follicles.

    • The longest pubic hair record was set back in the 19th century by a midwife. The women’s hair grew to below her knees and was braided behind her back. Which is weird because most pubic hair will fall out before it is long enough to trip over.

    • Pubic hair transplants are the latest trend in South Korea. They say it is a sign of fertility. In the west, women are trying to keep off but in Korea the trend is forestation.
