Pubic Hair Questions and Answers

My pubic hair is very long, thick and curly and I am thinking about trimming it back or even shaving it completely off. Is this normal to do, will others think I am weird?

Shaving and trimming pubic hair is very common and a normal thing for males and females to do. The first time you trim or shave you may find that your skin becomes irritated easily around the area you trimmed/shaved, in these cases apply some baby lotion to help with any itching and make sure to use a clean shaver/trimmer each time and some shaving foam/gel. I dont think that others will think you are weird as plenty of guys do this themselves.

I brushed my hands through my pubes and some fell out, what should I do?

A few hairs falling out is normal and can be expected even as an adult but if when brushing your hands through you are finding clumps of hair or large amounts are falling out I suggest you visit your doctor.

Should I shave my pubic hair, why is it there?

Shaving your pubic hair is your own choice to make, pubic hair is there as padding and helps with warmth and prevents dirt and bacteria getting inside our bodies to cause infection. If you are comfortable with shaving it and wish to, it is common to do so.

I am 13 and dont have any pubic hair yet, is it normal? Help!

Dont fret, you are in the early stages of puberty and pubic hair growth is yet to commence for you. If you wait a while you will find that it will start growing.
