It's a jungle down there!

Check these out, too...

My hair down there is so thick, it’s hard for me to wipe after I go to the bathroom! I doubt my mom would let me shave, so what should I do?

When it comes to the hair down there, we’re all different. Some girls have a sparse little patch, while others tend to have a bit of a jungle. Keeping it neat and clean isn’t as difficult as you might think.

With thick hair, it’s difficult to shave with a safety razor straight away. I recommend grabbing a small pair of sharp scissors and carefully giving yourself a trim. There’s nobody there to say how much or how little you should snip, so do what feels and looks right to you. Thinning it out with scissors might be enough to make you comfortable, but if you do decide to shave, go slowly. A shaving cream or gel will make it much easier, as will a fresh blade on your razor.

Good luck!

Mod mod mod mod the boys at my school play a game where they slap girls butts on Friday it's really weird I know. I seem to be a target even though I don't have a huge butt or anything. It makes me uncomfortable. I don't know how to tell them to stop.

Hey girl,

This isn't just a fun game anymore...slapping your butt is offensive, a little degrading, and definitely sexual harassment. It's plain WRONG! Be firm next time and stand up to these boys. When they go to do it to you, spin around and say something very clear, like "Absolutely NOT." If they get offended or ask why, tell them you don't think their game is funny, then walk away. Be strong and confident, even if you aren't exactly feeling that way when you speak up. They need to be taught that they can't treat girls like that without their permission! Geez, if they want to slap someone's butt, they can do it to each other

maia, not sure whos advice you took but once you start shaving down there it can feel itchy when you first start doing it. You just have to use a very good moisturizer and make sure you cover the entire area where you shaved. Be sure its a moisturizer for sensitive areas.

Hey mod,
This is super embarrissing i have hair growing down there but i also have hair growing on my skin right below the second hole. I feel very embarressed about this is it normal?

Hey girlie,

No worries, this is totally normal! People rarely talk about it, but puberty causes hair to grow there in both guys and girls. Just like anywhere else, some people's hair is thicker/more noticeable there, but it's really common so it's not something you should worry or be embarrassed about If it makes you feel more comfortable, you can always trim that hair/the other hair "down there" - it's a personal choice and neither is right/wrong! Don't feel embarrassed about asking Qs like this either, girl. We've been there
