Shocking Reasons Why You Should Never Shave ‘Down There’ – You Won’t Believe #4!
Are you one of those women who shaves or waxes all your pubic hair? Then keep reading!
Because we have seven reasons why you need hair down there.
So set aside the razors and wax for a while and discover the difference!
You might think that pubic hair is unhygienic or unnecessary, but have you ever wondered why we have it?
When you think about it, the reasons are clear. These are the benefits of keeping your hair to protect your private parts:
1. Reduces the risk of fungal infections
A fungal infection is the last thing you want. But unfortunately, it’s easy to get one if your genitals are well-shaved.
Pubic hair keeps moisture away from your genitals. But without it, the chances of moisture lingering down there are higher, for example if you wear a wet swimsuit for too long. This increases the chances of an infection.
2. Increases sensitivity
Ever wondered why it hurts so much when someone pulls hair from your head? That’s because hair follicles have special sensors. And it’s the same with pubic hair.
Plus, when you remove pubic hair, you lose that soft feeling.
3. Makes you sweat less
You may not have thought about it, but you sweat between your legs just like any other place. On a hot day with tight pants, you naturally get sweaty.
But if you have pubic hair, you have a natural buffer between your pants and your crotch, allowing more breathing and less sweating.
4. Helps against skin irritation
The skin around your genitals easily irritates. It is sensitive and gets less air than other body parts.
If you’ve ever shaved or waxed down there, your skin probably turned a little red or you got ingrown hairs – and that’s something no one wants, right? If you just leave your hair alone, you save yourself a lot of irritation.
5. Regulates body temperature
Just like pubic hair keeps a man’s testicles warm, it surrounds a woman’s genitals to regulate temperature. And it releases heat when it’s cold outside.
6. Attracts others
It may sound strange, but your pubic hair emits a certain scent that has an attractive effect on other people, like perfume. These scents are called pheromones.
7. Reduces the risk of sexually transmitted diseases
According to statistics from the National Library of Medicine in the US, women who shave or wax their pubic hair are more likely to get an STD than people who leave their pubic hair alone.
This is due to small cuts caused by shaving and waxing, which make it easier for bacteria to penetrate, and without these cuts – and with hair protecting your private parts – it’s harder to get infected with an STD.
