62% OF US WOMEN GO BARE DOWN THERE BUT FOR THE WRONG REASONS

“Grooming” is the act of shaving/waxing off pubic hair, and ladies, we know all about it. We’ve been shearing our pubes since we can remember. Some of us like to take a little off, leaving the popular “landing strip,” while most of us like to go fully bare. No matter which way you go, I think it’s safe to say that most, if not all women, hate to have a full fro in between their legs.

I know personally, big or small, I can’t deal with a lot of hair down there. The less hair, the more manageable it is. And don’t get me started on this heat. It’s one thing to sweat, but when your hoo-ha is covered in sweaty hair, that just not hygienic. But some women have another reason for going bare down there.

A new study that was conducted of 3,316 women reports that 62% of the women admit to shaving off all of their pubic hair while 84% admits to some grooming. And while, in the past, research showed that women groom themselves for sex, this study shows that women do it for hygiene.

But that’s not all…

Obstetrician gynecologist and lead author of the study Dr. Tami S. Rowen explains, “Many women think they are dirty and unclean if they haven’t groomed.”

The study looked at women of different races and ages: those who were more prone to grooming were 18 to 34-year-old white women who were well educated. The study didn’t report on their income or marital statuses, but a larger study delved into motivation, sexual behavior and health habits.
