Women's private parts have always been mysterious. The hair in the private parts of the human body is also closely related to human health. The modern concept of health has a little deviation from the traditional sense of maintenance. Whether to shave pubic hair or not is a very tangled question. Now, let's take a look with the editor of the Knowledge Museum. The moment of sudden enlightenment has come. Let you know whether it is good for women to shave their pubic hair, whether it is normal for women to have more pubic hair in their private parts, and what the role of women's private hair is.

Popularization of knowledge: about women's private body hair

Normal female private hair is related to the hygiene and health of every woman. Private hair is the sexiest physiological tissue, but like men's beards, it is also a physiological phenomenon of the human body. There is no need to avoid it. In today's civilized and open world, talking about the role and health of private hair is a completely normal and healthy topic, and does not mean any bad tendency.

The pubic hair is the surface part of the female external genitalia, located in front of the pubic symphysis. After puberty, the subcutaneous fat becomes increasingly full and pad-like, and pubic hair grows. The distribution of pubic hair is basically in an inverted triangle, covering the labia majora downwards and converging in front of the anus. The pubic hair of some women is distributed in long strips. The density, richness and sparseness of pubic hair can vary greatly, but the degree of curl, amount, density, thickness and color can vary from individual to ethnic group and have no direct relationship with development.

Survey 1: Why does women’s private body hair look different?

Development of private body hair:

Breast development can start as early as 8 years old, with an average of 10-11 years old. Most children begin to develop before the age of 13. The pubic hair begins to develop and appear before the breasts mature. The pubic hair forms an angle of no more than 30 degrees with the skin surface, covering the midline downward, from the mons pubis and labia majora, in an inverted triangle shape with a horizontal upper edge.

The amount, distribution and color of pubic hair vary from person to person and can vary greatly. Female pubic hair can also be in strips from the mons pubis downwards, together with the pubic hair on the labia majora. When the breasts mature and stand high in front of the chest; pubic hair grows, the mons pubis is thick, the pelvis is wide and flat, the buttocks are enlarged, the muscles and fat are smoothly distributed, and the female individual body shape with healthy curves is formed, and the female puberty is completed.

Therefore, by the age of 18, a woman's secondary sexual characteristics have all matured, that is, when a girl reaches the age of 18, her sexual organs and sexual functions have all matured and she has the ability to reproduce.

Survey 2: What is the function of private body hair?

In the primitive times when humans did not wear pants, private hair played a protective role in protecting the vagina, preventing the invasion of foreign objects and germs, and maintaining hygiene. In sexual life, the main function of pubic hair is to reduce mutual friction during sexual intercourse and prevent damage to the raised mons pubis. In fact, during sexual intercourse between men and women, the male's pubic hair is enough to reduce mutual friction during sexual intercourse and avoid damage to the mons pubis. In modern society, the dense pubic hair covering the vulva keeps the vulva in a warm and humid environment, making it a breeding ground for mold, trichomonas, pubic lice and a variety of pathogens, which is not conducive to the hygiene of the vulva.

Survey 3: Some common sense questions about pubic hair

1. Does having more pubic hair mean having strong sexual desire and ability?

Absolutely not. Sexual desire and sexual ability are affected by objective factors, such as education, living environment, etc., but people of hairy races such as India, Pakistan, and the Middle East have stronger sexual desire than those with less hair.

2. Is it abnormal for women to have no pubic hair?

Some people have no pubic hair at all, only growing it very late or never having it for their entire lives, but they have no sexual problems. Pubic hair is not proportional to armpit hair, and not having pubic hair does not necessarily mean not having armpit hair. 2.7% of people have no pubic hair.

3. Should there be pubic hair around the anus?

It is normal to have an anus or not. Some people have it, some don't. About 32% of people have anal hair.

4. Are all pubic hairs curly?

Most of them are curved, accounting for about 82%, and the rest are straight. There are two reasons for the curve. First, the curve is like a soft spring, which can better offset the impact. Second, during sexual intercourse, even if it is very long, it will not be brought into the vagina.

Survey 4: Do foreign women shave their private parts?

Western women have the custom of shaving their pubic hair. Girls receive sex education from an early age, including the need to shave their pubic hair. There are razors in the bathroom, and shave your pubic hair after bathing.

The hairless vulva is clean and cool, greatly reducing the chance of lower genital tract infection. Just like some ethnic boys have to cut off the foreskin when they are young, the glans is clean and infection and penile cancer are almost eliminated. It is a hygienic and healthy choice.

Chinese women or women who moved to Europe and the United States when they were young also have razors in the bathroom and have the habit of shaving their pubic hair every day. They believe that shaving the pubic hair makes the vulva clean and cool, and it is also fashionable and good for health. They never have vulvar itching or other infections.

Asian women have never shaved their pubic hair, especially those with thick and abundant pubic hair. Coupled with the closed-style clothing habits, their pubic areas are damp, stuffy, and difficult to wash, which is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of mold and various pathogens, leading to lower reproductive tract infections, further leading to infertility, and is also one of the causes of cervical cancer. I have consulted several doctors (in Australia and the United States), and among them, there are almost no patients with lower reproductive tract infections and vulvar inflammation. A general practitioner in a clinic said: "Women here have the habit of shaving their pubic hair since childhood, their pubic areas are clean, and they often sunbathe on the beach all year round. They will not suffer from vulvar infections and inflammations. I have not seen such patients, but it is not uncommon among Arabs and Chinese."

In most Western countries, the incidence of reproductive tract infection among women is below 10%, while in India, Bangladesh, and Egypt, the incidence is between 52% and 92%. In my country, Zhao Gengli et al. conducted an epidemiological survey on reproductive tract infection among married women of childbearing age, and the cumulative incidence was 46.5%, while the incidence of reproductive tract infection among farmers was 51.7%, significantly higher than that of women of childbearing age in other occupations. The above survey data show that the incidence of female reproductive tract infection is related to the hygienic habit of shaving pubic hair.

Survey 5: What are the methods to remove private body hair?

The temporary way to remove hair is to choose good quality hair removal products, but no product can guarantee that hair will never regrow, so don't believe such nonsense when buying it.

There are two ways to remove body hair: temporary hair removal and permanent hair removal. But each has its pros and cons. The temporary hair removal method is to use a good quality hair removal product, but no product can guarantee that it will never grow back, so don't believe such nonsense when you buy it. Products that are advertised as never growing back are often very expensive, just to make this dirty money. The advantage of this method is that it is relatively safe, but the disadvantage is that it is troublesome, and if you don't operate it properly over a long period of time, it will also have the opposite effect of thickening the hair!

The only known method for permanent hair removal is laser. If you choose this method, you must go to a large hospital, because you are performing a minor surgery on your face and cannot allow any accidents to happen, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life.

If your hair does not affect your appearance, do not touch it lightly, because no matter how sophisticated the surgery is or how good the product is, it will more or less cause you some damage.

In fact, the pubic area is a mysterious area for most Chinese women, and they dare not face it directly, so let alone trimming pubic hair. Generally speaking, the main function of pubic hair is to reduce friction, and the length does not affect its function. However, the trend of trimming pubic hair was popular in Europe and the United States. With the gradual openness of the atmosphere, it seems that many new generation women want to trim their hair and shave it in order to wear sexy clothes or swimsuits. However, to really remove pubic hair effectively, never use depilatory or honey wax, because the private part is a very sensitive place, you must go to the pharmacy for professional consultation, and it is more appropriate to use a special depilatory.
