how does pubic hair know when to stop growing. It always seems to be the same length?

Hairs on certain parts of your body are genetically programmed to stop growing at a certain length. The hair grows and then stops at a predetermined length, then hangs out for a while and then falls out.
It's arm hair, eye brows, pubes...... even the hair on your head. It all knows when it's supposed to stop growing and that's why we aren't hairy-scarey like Cousin It from the Addam's Family.

I suppose for the same reason that your arm and leg hair know when to stop growing!!

hair stops growing at the length it's programmed to by our genes/dna thats why some men can(if they wish)grow zz top type beards & some can't; that's why some women can grow their hair till they can(if they wish)sit on it, regardless of where that hair is growing.

Mine grows really fast which is why I have it removed every 4 weeks.

Maybe the under garment keeps it rubbed to that length.

Think it maybe just gets curlier!! Must slow in the same way any other hair does.

Well if you left it uncovered like the hair on you head it would get a lot longer.

You know, I really don't have a clue but Billy Connolly did a very funny sketch on it some years ago.
