A razor down there is something all of us have tried. And why not? It feels great to have smooth skin in the nether regions. Not only does it look amazing but also makes our partners go wild with excitement!
In fact, shaving off your pubic hair is now extremely commonplace and completely acceptable. And even though it feels good and pro-pubic hair shavers will vociferously argue that it’s hygienic to do so, shaving hair down there is not actually the right thing to do.
Quite an earth-shattering revelation, isn’t it?
Well, there’s proof to back it up. According to a study, 60% of the women who shave off their pubic hair suffer from one or the other associated complication such as in-grown hair. According to another study, shaving vagina hair can also increase your chances of STIs or sexually transmitted diseases.If that isn’t enough to convince you, here are additional reasons that perfectly show why those thick curlies need to stay!
The hair you have on your body (be it anywhere) has always helped in regulating your body temperature. Your pubic hair has pretty much the same function and the follicles in this region aid in the process of sweating. This happens as each hair follicle has a sebaceous gland underneath it. This gland is responsible for releasing the body’s naturally produced oils into hair strands. This oil then travels up to the skin surface with the help of the hair, where it gradually evaporates and thereby keeps the skin cool.
While your vagina helps in the secretion of pheromones, your pubes are the ones that help retain them so that they can work their magic on potential mates. If you shave the pubic hair off, you actually eliminate this amazing storehouse of pheromones that make you more attractive, especially to the ones who matter. As your body sweats, it increases the production of pheromones, which remain trapped in your pubic hair. And that’s exactly why you should not shave it if you want that date to go wild.
As the name suggests, genital warts affect your private areas. They are a type of STD symptom that manifests itself in the form of growths or bumps on your skin. White in color, these can get quite uncomfortable and cause extreme itching. Although caused by HPV or the human papillomavirus, your chances of getting them increase considerably if you shave the hair on your nether regions, according to research.
Remember that heightened sensitivity and burning sensation you feel when you get rid of hair down there? Well, those are microscopic wounds. Every time you wax this area or pass a razor over it, you give rise to irritated skin that can also develop abscesses, boils and other similar skin infections. Plus it could get extremely painful. So maybe it’s time you stopped that.
