My friends make fun of my hair down there!

 

Check these out, too...

  • Just shaved my legs, but I'm still seeing roots!

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.

Well one thing I know is I am NOT shaving my hair down there. I don't want to be a bigger risk of getting an infection. If the hair wasn't "needed" down there then it wouldn't be down there.

Claire, Most of us shave, some of us, like me, shave it completely and some like my friends leave some hair so its up to you on how you want it to look. As far as the sex thing, just because you shave all of it doesnt mean you are active because I have friends who are sexually active and dont shave all of it, they just trim it really well. So that part is your decision. But I do understand we want it to look a certain way when we start doing things with guys. And to get rid of bumps and rashes use a good moisturizer every day.

Thanks so much but still I won't understand where to insert.. Awks. I also used the last tampon in the house and I don't wanna ask my mom to buy some!

Hey pinkkattie1999, it may be best for you to just wear pads. They’re comfy and easy to put on. Always has some great products. Hope this helps! Xoxo

MOD!?
I cant use a tampon! I tried today and I wasn't even close to doing this right! Frown I know to wash your hands, take it out and push the tampon out and stuff but I don't know where to out it. I guess, was I putting it in the wrong place? It was to hard! What am I doing wrong I just can't find where to put it in. I think I also used the last tampon in the house so no more trying for me. I don't wanna ask my mom though.. Help?!

Hey pinkkattie1999, it’s okay calm down and breathe. It’s understandable why this is a little difficult for you, considering this is your first time inserting a tampon. There’s only one place for it to go. So the next time you want to wear one, take your time putting it in. Get into a comfortable position, maybe propping one leg up on something, like the toilet will give you a better angle to insert it. If you really can’t figure it out, visit the tampon website for help or search google for directions. No worries. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I too am really confused about what to do with my bush;). I hate my hair down there, but when I shave it off, I get a rash, it doesn't even come off all the way, and it grows back in like 3 days. I want to know what the normal thing is for shaving the hair down there. And please don't tell me its whatever feels most comfortable because I want to know what most people do, so when I'm finally ready for sex,I won't be embarrassed when my pants come off.
