It's generally true that most girls will start growing pubic hair around their genitals when they reach puberty (though some women don't have pubic hair, so it's not a universal rule). Because it's a private area, it's usually not exposed to others, hence the name pubic hair.
With increased knowledge and understanding, and with the development of society, there has been much discussion about whether to shave pubic hair and whether there are any benefits.
So, are there any benefits to shaving pubic hair? If not, what benefits does it bring?
To understand this, we must first understand the stages of pubic hair formation.
Relatively speaking, pubic hair growth in women starts earlier than in men of the same age.
Pubic hair development:
Breast development can begin as early as 8 years old, averaging 10-11 years old, with most starting before age 13. Pubic hair develops before breast development matures, appearing at an angle of no more than 30 degrees to the skin surface, downwards, covering the midline, starting from the mons pubis and labia majora, forming an inverted triangle shape with a horizontal upper edge.
The amount, distribution, and color of pubic hair vary greatly from person to person. In women, pubic hair can also grow downwards from the mons pubis, forming a strip along with the hair on the labia majora. When the breasts mature and stand erect, pubic hair grows, the mons pubis thickens, the pelvis widens and flattens, the buttocks become larger, and muscles and fat are smoothly distributed, forming a shapely and curvaceous female physique, marking the completion of female puberty.
Therefore, by age 18, all secondary sexual characteristics of a woman are fully developed, meaning that by age 18, a girl's sexual organs and functions are fully mature, and she is capable of reproduction.
Pubic hair is one of the secondary sexual characteristics of the human body, and its development is regulated by sex hormones. Generally, girls begin to secrete sex hormones as their ovaries and testes mature, stimulating pubic hair receptors and causing pubic hair to grow, around 11-12 years old for girls and 14-15 years old for boys.
The presence and density of pubic hair mainly depend on two factors: the level of androgens produced by the adrenal cortex and the sensitivity of the pubic hair follicles to androgens.
If, during a woman's pubic hair development period, for some reason, the level of androgens produced by the adrenal cortex is low or the pubic hair follicles are insensitive to androgens, sparse or no pubic hair may occur.
When boys enter puberty, facial hair grows thickly, the Adam's apple becomes prominent, the voice deepens, and muscles become more robust; women develop breasts, a high-pitched voice, and muscles become more flexible. Pubic hair appears in both young men and women at this time; these are all called secondary sexual characteristics, and the appearance of pubic hair is one of the signs of sexual maturity in young men and women.
Some people may have noticed in Western films that the male and female actors have completely shaved pubic hair, a condition commonly referred to as "sexless." Some people say that not having pubic hair is comfortable, allowing for a deeper sense of skin-to-skin friction, and that it doesn't interfere with oral sex. However, some experts say that pubic hair has an auxiliary effect on sex, indirectly stimulating erogenous zones and providing some protection. So, should pubic hair be shaved? This question is difficult to answer and requires analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of shaving.
Advantages of shaving pubic hair: 1. Easier to clean and prevents pubic lice, a benefit clearly proven by the medical community.
2. Reduces body odor. Especially in summer, excessive hair can easily lead to unpleasant body odor.
3. For women, it can prevent menstrual clots from sticking together or getting stuck on the back of sanitary napkins, causing pain when pulled.
4. For men, it can make the penis appear longer.
Disadvantages of shaving pubic hair: 1. It's a lot of work, at least once a week, which is a bit troublesome. Before sex, you have to check if the genitals are smooth enough.
2. There is a risk of injury and infection; you might accidentally get folliculitis.
3. Newly grown pubic hair stubble can be quite prickly, especially uncomfortable during sex.
4. For some people, shaving can make pubic hair coarser.
5. Improper shaving techniques can cause pubic hair to grow back unruly.
Pubic hair, like body hair in other parts of the body, serves to reduce friction and maintain ventilation. In terms of reducing friction, pubic hair can reduce friction between the genitals and clothing, or the intense contact that occurs during walking and exercise, just as armpit hair reduces friction between the arms and armpits. It also helps maintain ventilation; the sweat glands in the pubic area are relatively large and abundant, and pubic hair helps keep the reproductive organs ventilated, preventing excessive moisture. During sexual intercourse, pubic hair reduces friction and discomfort caused by rapid movement. Pubic hair has a mysterious beauty, conveying a message of sexual maturity, helping to attract the opposite sex, arouse sexual excitement, and enhance sexual pleasure between couples.
For example, dense pubic hair in a woman's pubic area can provide strong sexual stimulation to a man, arousing strong sexual desire. Pubic hair is particularly sensitive to touch and often serves as a provocative signal during sex. During intercourse, it acts as a buffer, preventing strong friction between the skin and protecting it from damage. While pubic hair has its benefits, excessively thick or dense pubic hair can cause problems. In women, excessively dense pubic hair can easily lead to reproductive tract infections, such as vulvovaginal candidiasis and vaginitis. Shaving pubic hair keeps the genital area clean and refreshed, significantly reducing the chance of lower genital tract infections. Common infections among Chinese women, such as fungal vulvitis and vaginitis, could be eradicated. Trichomoniasis, vaginitis, and various sexually transmitted diseases will also decrease substantially, as will the incidence of infertility and cervical cancer. This is highly beneficial to health. Furthermore, with the deepening and expansion of social and economic openness and the continued infiltration of Western civilization, the Western custom of shaving pubic hair will gradually be adopted by Chinese women, just as wearing bikinis and low-rise pants will eventually be accepted, admired, and fashionable. Shaving pubic hair will soon naturally become a popular trend among Chinese women.
The subtle uses of pubic hair in sex
: From a sexual psychology perspective, a layer of soft pubic hair covering the smooth skin of the external genitalia creates a sense of mystery, naturally generating sexual attraction to the opposite sex.
From a sexual medicine perspective, dense pubic hair around the vulva can prevent dirt or harmful organisms from invading and contaminating the genitals.
From a sexual physiology perspective: During sexual intercourse, the sensitive areas of the external genitalia can receive gentle stimulation from pubic hair, which helps with sexual arousal for both partners.
From a sexual aesthetic perspective: Dense pubic hair, adorning the elegant curves of the human body, displays a beautiful radiance.
Misconceptions about pubic hair and countermeasures
: In traditional Chinese folklore, the absence of pubic hair, if in a woman, is called "White Tiger"; if in a man, it is called "Green Dragon." Both "White Tiger" and "Green Dragon" are considered unlucky omens, with sayings such as "a woman with pubic hair will bring misfortune to her husband" and "a man with pubic hair will bring misfortune to his wife." In fact, this is purely feudal superstition, has no scientific basis, and is misleading to the public. Such legends should be clarified and corrected; otherwise, they will affect family harmony and happiness.
Media reports have described a newlywed couple in a rural area who, on their wedding night, the husband suggested a "shared bath" before intercourse. The wife, feeling ashamed because she had no pubic hair, considered it shameful in front of her husband. She felt uncomfortable with such a direct and explicit display and felt it inappropriate to bathe together or "engage" in bed. The argument escalated into a farce, ending in a bitter argument. In reality, due to different customs and standards of beauty around the world, views on "hairlessness" vary. Some cultures consider "hair" more beautiful, while others believe "hairlessness is also beautiful," viewing female pubic hair as a symbol of youthful beauty and a girlish, virginal charm. Therefore, there's no need to be overly concerned about hairlessness. The most important thing is a harmonious and loving relationship between husband and wife; don't let it cause psychological harm. Should
women shave their pubic hair or not?
Western women have a custom of shaving their pubic hair, and girls receive sex education from a young age, including the need to shave their pubic hair. Razors are provided in the bathroom, and everyone shaves their pubic hair after showering.
A hairless vulva is clean and cool, greatly reducing the chance of lower genital tract infections.
Just as some ethnic groups circumcise young boys to keep their foreskins clean, thus reducing the risk of infection and penile cancer, it's a hygienic and healthy choice. Chinese women or women who immigrated to Europe and America at a young age also keep razors in the bathroom and have a habit of shaving their pubic hair daily. They believe that shaving keeps the vulva clean and cool, is fashionable, and beneficial to health, and they never experience vulvar itching or other infections. In contrast,
women in China have historically not shaved their pubic hair, especially those with thick, abundant pubic hair. Combined with the habit of wearing closed clothing, this creates a damp, hot, and unclean environment, ideal for the growth and reproduction of fungi and various pathogens, leading to lower genital tract infections, further contributing to infertility, and is also one of the causes of cervical cancer.
I have spoken with several doctors (in Australia and the United States), and among them, almost no one suffers from lower genital tract infections or vulvar inflammation. A general practitioner at a clinic said, "Women here have a habit of shaving their pubic hair since childhood, keeping their genitals clean. They also sunbathe on the beach year-round, so they don't get vulvar infections. I haven't seen any patients with these conditions, but they are quite common among Arabs and Chinese."
In most Western countries, the incidence of genital tract infections among women is below 10%, while in India, Bangladesh, and Egypt, the incidence ranges from 52% to 92%.
A Chinese epidemiological survey by Zhao Gengli et al. on genital tract infections among married women of childbearing age showed a cumulative incidence of 46.5%, and a 51.7% incidence among rural women, significantly higher than other occupational groups of women of childbearing age. These survey results indicate a correlation between the incidence of female genital tract infections and the habit of shaving pubic hair.
With the deepening and expansion of social and economic openness and the continued infiltration of Western civilization, the Western custom of shaving pubic hair will gradually be adopted by some Chinese women, but some will still retain it due to traditional beliefs.
In fact, as long as you pay attention to the health of your private parts, you can ensure your health. Therefore, women don't need to worry too much about whether or not to shave their pubic hair.

Pubic hair in normal women is related to every woman's hygiene and health. Pubic hair is one of the most sensual physiological tissues, but like a man's beard, it's a normal physiological phenomenon and there's no need to avoid it. In today's civilized and open society, discussing the function and health of pubic hair is a perfectly normal and healthy topic, and it doesn't imply any negative tendencies.
Pubic hair is the surface part of the female external genitalia, located in front of the pubic symphysis. After puberty, subcutaneous fat gradually increases, forming a fleshy pad, and pubic hair grows. The distribution of pubic hair is basically an inverted triangle, covering the labia majora and converging in front of the anus. Some women have long, strip-like pubic hair. The density, thickness, and sparseness of pubic hair can vary greatly, but the degree of curl, amount, density, thickness, and color can vary from individual to individual and race, and are not directly related to development.
Why do women's pubic hairs look so different?

What is the function of pubic hair?
In primitive times before humans wore pants, pubic hair served a protective function, preventing the invasion of foreign objects and germs, and maintaining hygiene. In sexual intercourse, the main function of pubic hair is to reduce friction during intercourse and prevent damage to the mons pubis. In fact, during heterosexual intercourse, the male's pubic hair is sufficient to reduce friction and prevent injury to the mons pubis. In modern society, dense pubic hair covering the vulva creates a warm and moist environment, becoming a breeding ground for fungi, trichomoniasis, pubic lice, and various pathogens, which is detrimental to vulvar hygiene. In Western countries, women traditionally shave their pubic hair, and girls receive sex education from a young age, including the need to shave. Razors are available in bathrooms, and shaving is done after bathing. A hairless vulva is clean and cool, greatly reducing the chance of lower genital tract infections. Similar to
the practice in some cultures where young boys have their foreskin removed from a young age, keeping the glans clean and reducing the risk of infection and penile cancer, this is a hygienic and healthy choice. Women of Chinese descent, or those who immigrated to Europe and America at a young age, also keep razors in their bathrooms and have a habit of shaving their pubic hair daily. They believe that shaving their pubic hair makes their vulva clean and cool, and is also fashionable and beneficial to their health. They never experience vulvar itching or other infections. In contrast, women in mainland China have historically not shaved their pubic hair, especially those with thick, abundant pubic hair. Combined with the habit of wearing closed clothing, this creates a damp, hot, and unclean environment in the genital area, which is ideal for the growth and reproduction of fungi and various pathogens, leading to lower genital tract infections, further contributing to infertility, and is also one of the causes of cervical cancer. I have spoken with several doctors (in Australia and the United States), and among them, almost no one suffers from lower genital tract infections or vulvitis. A general practitioner at a clinic said, "Women here have a habit of shaving their pubic hair since childhood, keeping their genitals clean. They also sunbathe on the beach year-round, so they don't get vulvar infections. I haven't seen any patients with these conditions, but they are quite common among Arabs and Chinese." In most Western countries, the incidence of reproductive tract infections among women is below 10%, while in India, Bangladesh, and Egypt, the incidence ranges from 52% to 92%. A Chinese epidemiological survey by Zhao Gengli et al. on reproductive tract infections among married women of childbearing age showed a cumulative incidence of 46.5%, and a rate of 51.7% among rural women, significantly higher than other occupational groups of women of childbearing age. These survey results indicate a correlation between the incidence of female reproductive tract infections and the habit of shaving pubic hair. Advocating for Chinese women to shave their pubic hair offers numerous health benefits. With the deepening and expansion of social and economic openness and the continued infiltration of Western civilization, the Western custom of shaving pubic hair will gradually be adopted by some Chinese women, although some will still retain it due to traditional beliefs. In fact, as long as you pay attention to the health of your private parts, you can ensure good health. Therefore, female friends don't need to worry too much about whether or not to shave their pubic hair. After reading so much about pubic hair between men and women, you should have a pretty thorough understanding. Whether or not you need to shave it is entirely up to you; no one can tell you what to do. Pubic hair has its advantages and disadvantages, so I won't give you any advice. It's up to you to decide what's best for you and what you prefer.
