It's a jungle down there!

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!

I have been finding lots of hairs from down there... Like in the tub after I shower, stuff like that. Is it normal for hair to come out like that from down there?




Hey cutie!

That's always normal.  Your body grows hair everywhere, and sheds hair all the time. Hair can just as easily fall out from another place on your body as it could from your head.

MODMODMODMODMOD I get discharge every day and my period came on march 31 for the first time and i never came back its been 5 months im scared!!




Hey there!

Every girl's body runs on her own clock.  Which means, your period will come when your body gives the signal. The discharge is completely natural, it's your body's "down there" cleaning method to keep everything in order and healthy. Check out this link if you're still a bit worried.

Ok, so im 10 and started fifth grade. I gone to bathroom today and saw my panties a white mark. What is that? Also i do shave down there, but for a few days it itches down there! The only period related question i asked my mom when she got hers. Is this a sign?




Sounds like discharge Smile

So I'm 12 and I've been getting discharge EVERYDAY!! I haven't gotten my period yet, but is this a sign? It's getting super annoying and I haven'y talked to my mom about it... Please Help!




Hey girl,

It's def a sign that your bod is on the right track through puberty. Discharge normally comes first before your period, anywhere from 6-12 months or even more. It's impossible to predict exactly when you'll get your first period, but yes I'm sure it'll be soon Smile

If it is too thick and you dont want to shave you can trim the hair with scissors. Just be careful, you dont want to cut yourself. You would be surprised how short you can get it if you want and how you can trim and still leave some.

But you could also ask your mom about shaving, I think moms understand that is what most of us are doing so she would probably understand. I have even heard of mom and daughter waxings so I think they know we need to trim and shave down there.
