Ladies, If You Shave Your Pubic Hair, Read This!
There is one razor that we have all tried. And why not? It feels good to have smooth skin in this area. This not only looks great, but also inspires our partners!
In fact, pubic shaving is very common today and totally acceptable. While it feels good and people who shave their heads might argue that it's hygienic, shaving isn't really something you should be doing.
Earth shattering revelation, right?
Well, there's evidence of that. According to research, 60% of women who shave in the womb experience one problem or another, including ingrown hairs. Another study found that shaving your vagina may increase your risk of STIs and STDs.
If that's not enough to convince you, here are more reasons why those luscious curls are here to stay!
Pubic hair helps regulate body temperature
Your body hair (no matter where it is) always helps regulate your body temperature. Your pubic hair does the same job, and the follicles in this area help with sweating.
This happens because there are oil glands under each hair follicle. This gland is responsible for delivering the human body's natural oil to the hair fiber. This oil then travels to the surface of the skin with the help of the hair and slowly evaporates, keeping the skin cool.
Pubic hair is protective
The second reason not to shave your hair is that it acts as a shield between your genitals and disease-causing bacteria and other pathogens.
By shaving them off you are essentially exposing yourself to health problems, which is not good.
Pubic hair is a storehouse for pheromones
Your vagina helps release pheromones while your vagina helps store them so they can work their magic on potential partners. When you shave your pubic hair, you release an amazing supply of pheromones that make you more attractive, especially to important others. When your body sweats, it increases the production of pheromones stored in your pubic hair. That's why you shouldn't shave your head if you want to let off steam on this date.
Pubic hair can reduce the risk of genital warts
As the name suggests, genital warts affect your private parts. These are symptoms of an STD that manifest as growths or bumps on your skin. They are white in color, become quite uncomfortable and cause excessive itching. Although it's caused by HPV, or the human papillomavirus, studies show that shaving your pubic hair greatly increases your chances of getting it.
Pubic hair prevents one type of viral infection
I think we can already see that shaving does more harm than good. This article found that using a razor makes you more susceptible to STDs because this act of "cleaning" can increase your chances of contracting a virus called molluscum contagiosum. This leaves you vulnerable to infections that spread quickly. Although this infection is painless, it can make the area inflamed and appear red.
Pubic hair keeps skin problems under control
Remember the increased sensitivity and burning sensation when removing hair? These are microscopic wounds. Every time you apply nail polish or use a razor on the area, the skin becomes irritated, leading to boils, abscesses, and other similar skin infections. Also, it can be very painful. So it might be time for you to stop.
Pubic hair is especially important for overweight women
No, this is not a crude and weighty comment; This is actually a purely scientific fact. A study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that obese women who shave all their hair are twice as likely to suffer complications because their skin is always in contact with the surrounding skin.
Time to forget how attractive men are and take matters into your own hands, ladies. That means ditching the oddly styled personal razors and finally going natural. By now, when it comes to hygiene nuts, you already know that taking care of your hair is far more hygienic than not taking care of it. So protect your pubic hair!
