My friends make fun of my hair down there!

 

Check these out, too...

  • Just shaved my legs, but I'm still seeing roots!
  • My friend sulks if I do better in school than her. Help!

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.

tell your friends to shut up, your "friends" aren't sopposed to judge. My advice tell them "Why you lookin down there anyway?"

MOD MOD MOD I started puberty when I started 4th grade. Now that just turned 11 I have hairs down there. at first it wasn't that bad but now it's a forest . I ever told anyone so can you tell me what to do ?

 

Hey DivaD01, you can start shaving down there. You could try Nair bikini cream, which is a lotion you apply and leave on for 10 minutes or less and wipe with a warm cloth or off in the shower. Or you could get bikini shaving cream and use a razor to get the hairs off. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Mod Mod!!
So my hair "down there" always pokes out of the side of my underwear. It's embarrasing, and really annoys me. I don't want to shave it off because I know that it will irritate my skin, but would it do any harm to kind of..trim it, so it's shorter, and wont poke out? And is this normal for a girl to do?

 

Thats completely normal! If it makes you more comfortable i say do it Smile xoxo kerra
