Many of us have been heavily impacted by what we’ve seen in the media – advertisements for lingerie and swimwear, celebrities, or pornography. Most participants agreed that whichever pubic hair style they wear down there is ultimately up to them and should remain entirely personal.
Silver Fox
Before the 20th century, fine art paintings and sculptures depicting nude women typically did not include pubic hair. Francisco Goya’s The Nude Maja may have been one of the first paintings that featured women with pubic hair. Before puberty begins, both boys and girls possess very thin, vellus hair on the frontal genital area and crotch; this stage is known as Tanner Stage 1. Once puberty starts, however, androgen levels increase, and hair begins thickening and growing faster – this change is known as pubarche. Older men with silvery locks are commonly known as “silver foxes.” Additionally, pubic hair could have a different color from body hair and even be a different texture altogether.
Lightning Bolt
Hair down there has several beneficial uses, from disease prevention and temperature regulation to maintaining optimal genital temperature. Many individuals choose to remove their pubic hair due to social norms or external influence from media, celebrities, or sexual partners as significant influences on their decisions.
Pubic hair differs significantly from its counterpart on top of the head in that it grows from beneath the skin’s surface, where oil and sweat glands reside, rather than from within. Researchers believe that pubic hair acts like eyelashes in protecting against dirt and debris entering the vagina. Furthermore, some think it may trap pheromones signaling readiness to mate and reduce friction during exercise or sexual interplay.
Love Heart
Some women keep their hair wholly natural and claim that this makes them feel more sexy. It is definitely an eye-catching look and should ultimately be decided upon by you alone.
If you want a bit of added flair with your hair down there, try the Landing Strip, or Love Heart look. In this style, everything except one strip in the shape of a heart (or martini glass) on your mons pubis will be shaved off, leaving an optional strip you can shape as desired.
This creative activity makes Valentine’s Day or any day more meaningful! Use precise lines and corners, taking your time or seeking assistance! It may take longer than anticipated!

Pubic hair typically begins as fine vellus hair (Tanner stage 1), but as puberty begins and androgen levels rise, pubic hair thickens and grows faster than before. As with hair on the head, pubic hair can be cut, shaved, or waxed depending on its condition.
French pubic waxing is an increasingly popular solution for women looking to remove significant amounts of hair without opting for a full Brazilian. This technique leaves behind a strip in the center of their mons that can be tailored as desired by their wearer.
Popular options for women include the landing strip (a straight line down the center of their mons) and postage stamp looks, where hair is shaved to an exact square shape. Or try shaping your landing strip into an arrow for a playful flair!

Alternatively, for those not into a silver fox, lightning bolt, and love heart styles, there are still other choices such as bedazzled (having your pubic area adorned with gems), dyed (experimenting with various hair colors), or growing out a mustache – remember always to keep things tidy as your doctor will appreciate this! Whatever style you choose, ensure it remains neat – your doctor will thank you!
Pubic hair can be seen as an indicator of sexual maturity and helps reduce friction during physical activities such as running or cycling. Furthermore, pubic hair traps dirt, pathogens, and bacteria that might otherwise enter vaginal or penis areas.
Pubic hair has long been depicted in paintings, drawings, and sculptures depicting nude women until the 19th century; even then, it often had to do without. Since then, it has appeared and vanished with each new art era – still, it remains up to each individual as to whether to shave or groom their pubic hair, although some cultures may prefer norms that range from wholly removed, highly stylized, and natural styles.
