Pubic hair. The good ol' frenemy. Some like theirs to flow freely in the wind while others like to keep the bush trimmed. Now, we all know what a freshly mowed lawn can do to your mood, but are there any reasons not to shave your pubes?

Let's part the foliage and find out!

1 Reduced friction - The intimate area is delicate and prone to rashes, itching and irritation. Pubic hair minimizes friction and keeps your genitals safe.

2 Protection against infections - Unwanted bacteria, dust and dirt are filtered out to a large extent by pubic hair. It keeps your vaginal area from contracting infections like UTIs, vaginitis, and yeast infections.

3 Regulated vaginal temperature - The vaginal area can get quite sweaty. Pubic hair helps absorb sweat and moisture. This keeps the vaginal temperature regulated and unwanted dampness controlled.

4 Lowered risk of STIs - Pubic hair traps bacteria to protect you from infections to some extent. So, this hair can act as an extra layer of protection from STls - though it's not foolproof and it's a good idea to use condoms.

Ultimately, it's a personal choice!
