HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | DOWN THERE

My friends make fun of my hair down there!

 
My friends always make fun of my hair down there. They always ask if I’ve shaved “the forest” yet. It’s annoying! I keep it neat, don’t get me wrong, but my mom told me it’s supposed to be there. What should I do?

 

Oy! Besties really are the best, but sometimes you’ve just gotta tell ‘em to mind their own business. How you keep your hair down there (or anywhere else on your body, for that matter) is 100-percent your business.

 

Pubic hair is totally natural and it is suppose to be there and it’s not disgusting! Your pubic hair protects the sensitive skin surrounding your private parts from getting irritated by your clothes. Trust me, if you shaved yourself bald down there and then put on a pair of jeans, you’d notice a huge difference.

 

To shave or not to shave (or wax or otherwise remove hair…) is a decision that can only (and should only!) be made by you. What you choose to do with your bod is nobody else’s concern. Don’t feel pressured to change your ways just ‘cause your friends rag on your habits. My advice? Tell ‘em to shut up, then change the subject.

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!
