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.

(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.
