My friends make fun of my hair down there!

They always ask if I’ve shaved “the forest” yet...

My friend just showed me something where they discussed how its not good to completely shave down there because it said we have hair there for a reason and its to help keep things away from our vagina. But then I heard since we wear modern underwear and its not like in ancient times where bathing and keeping clean was tougher, that its good to shave.

Plus if our hair is there to keep away things then why do guys even have pubic hair because their parts all hang away from their body. So I think shaving is good for a number of reasons.

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD!! I don't shave my hair down there, but I do trim it to make it less messy when I'm on my period. Is there a certain way that I need to trim it though?

 

Hey girl-

shaving down their is a personal preference-- there is no certain way to trim. Just make sure you aren't causing any uncomfortable ingrown hairs! xoxo

HELP ASAP I really need help!
Ok, so my period ended (I thought so) 2 days ago and it came back just now. Tomorrow for PE my class is doing a water polo lesson. I'm really scared cause 1) I don't know how to use tampons. 2) what would yhe guys in my class say? and 3) what do I tell me teacher? Do u think I should try to use a tampon, or just skip the lessons? (They are today, tomorrow and the next day)plus my mom only has super jumbo tampons.

 

 Hey girly, why don't you ask your mom to pick up some smaller tampons, like a sport tampon. Read the directions in the box and check out this article for extra help. http://www.girlslife.com/post/2009/06/23/007-Period-Advice.aspx?cp=all If your still having too much trouble, you should talk to your teacher. Talk to him/her privately before class and just say that your having girl problems and won't be able to get in the water. They'll understand. And don't worry about the guys in the class. It's non of their business! If you need an excuse, tell them you arnt feeling well or have a headach or something. But boys know that girls have periods and its not that big of a deal. Good luck!

One of my boobs hurts a lot. I dont have medicine. What should i do?

 

Hey! the only way to really feel reassured is to talk to your doctor about all of these questions Smile To be honest, that's what we mods just have to tell you guys when you come to us with any health concerns. You may very well be fine, but since we're not doctors and we can't even see you face to face, it's not for us to tell you what's fine and what isn't. You know your body. Trust your instincts and talk to your doc!

(I have my period and my mom isnt home. U said to use toilet paper)
1) how much toilet paper should i use?
2) how often should i change it?

 

hey! take the TP and fold it in the shape of a pad, then keep rolling it up until it has about the same thickness as a pad. Check it every hour and change it if you need to. hang in there Smile

Help!!! I dont know what to do!?
My period (not my first) started, and my parents arent home, the nearest store isnt in walking distance from my house. What do i do?????!!?

 

Hey! Take some toilet paper and roll it up to make a temporary pad until your mom gets home and can take you to the store. Change it more often than you would a normal pad, too. good luck!

Do you think i should tell my mum before i shave down there. i have never asked her but im sure she said something like now untill your 13!!!!! i cant wait till that long. I am 11 and its like really thick. I did actually shave once without telling her and it made me more confident but i dont know what to do! Please help




Hey girly, you could try having a convo with your mom. Make sure your calm, whining always makes parents want to say no. Ask her if it's okay and tell her that it makes you feel better when the hair is gone. Ask her what her concerns are and see if you can make her feel better about your shaving. If she still feels like your too young, try trimming to keep things neat and tidy until your older.  Best of luck.

Its a personal choice!

A lot of people believe you dont need to start shaving until you start becoming intimate with guys because thats how they like it but you should start shaving when you want and when you feel you are ready. Personally, it makes me feel better about myself when I shave and take care of down there but do what you want.

This is really embarassing but, I have a really big clit and I'm scared to tell my mom because I don't want to have to go to the doctor for it but what can I do and is it bad that it's that big.

 

 

Hey girly, don't worry! The same way we all have different sized, shaped and colored eyes, or noses or hands or toes, we're all different in our down there area as well. You are perfectly normal!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
