Functions of Pubic Hair

Pubic Hair Styles

Removal

• Epilator

  • These are electric devices with tiny tweezers that rapidly pluck out the hairs. Great for at home removal, but again a little on the painful side.

In answer to the above, how ever you bloody well want to!

Everyone has their preferences, but try not to let other people's opinions about pubic hair affect what makes you feel most comfortable.

If you prefer a bald eagle, then whip out the razor or waxing strips! But if the razor rash isn't worth it, the idea of waxing seems terrifying or even if you just simply can't be bothered, then bush it out baby cakes x

How Should I Groom my Pubes?

So why do we even have pubes? The wiry buggers do in fact have a couple purposes:

Protection

• Pubes act as a protective cushion against friction in the genital area. Helping to reduce skin irritation from whatever you wish to be rubbing your pum up against.

Moisture control

• Our intimate area has it's very own climate down there. Pubic hair can help to regulate moisture and temperature, preventing a build up of sweat and maintaining a healthy environment.

There are several different named styles for trimmed pubic hair, a few of which I'm sure we're all familiar with:

Hollywood

• Bare and bald, yep all gone. Usually the go to when you're trying out a new style that's gone a bit pear shaped so you end up just taking it all off.

We could go on and on but the bottom line is, even if you have a different preferred style, or if you like switching between multiple ones, go with what makes you feel most comfortable or sexy!

Happy trimming lovelies!!

Landing Strip

• Similar to the Brazilian, but instead of a triangle... you guessed it, a strip.

Bikini

• Essentially just trimming up the bits that poke out your knickers, or bikini funnily enough.

Brazilian

• A VH favourite (if we can actually remember to book in a wax appointment) it's a nicely groomed little triangle up top. Usually for this style, people remove hair around the labia and the back end, but leave a nicely groomed triangle on the mons.

• Shaving:

  • Perhaps the most common method of removal. Try to make sure your razors are sharp, clean and fairly new. Old and dirty blades can cause infection and ingrowns.

• Waxing:

  • Waxing is a more long-lasting method of hair removal but can be a little painful as it pulls out the hairs from the follicles. You can buy kits to do this at home or you can book yourself in at a salon.

• Trimming:

  • Trimming pubic hair with scissors or an electric trimmer is a simple way to manage hair length without having to get rid of it all entirely. Just make sure you're going slow and careful!

• Laser Hair Removal:

  • This is a semi-permanent method that uses laser technology to reduce hair growth. Perhaps the most long lasting, but a little more costly.
