What age did you start shaving "down there" how much did you shave? I am 14, do think I should shave "down there"? I imagine it is more hygenic or do you think I am too young?

I only started shaving down there because I was wearing a bathing suit and didn't want the ol' short and curlies to make an appearance and freak anyone out. It is not more hygenic to shave down there. It might be more aesthetically pleasing, but that depends on who is seeing it. Men seem to like it, but at 14 you really are too young to be showing your vagina to any man. You also are at risk for ingrown hairs when you shave your vagina, which can lead to infection.

I was shaving at your age. Only the outer areas thatll show with a bikini. At 15 or 16 I totally shaved but BF hated it so I left a little patch or stripe,ect. At 19 I started shaving completely. Im 26 now and its usually bald but at times I change it,leave a stripe,maybe,but usually bald.

i think shaving down there is very hygenic.....and i think women should start doing it when they start their periods.....i do not shave the whole thing and would suggest not doing it either....it is very uncomfortable when it starts to grow back....but you can keep it neatly shaved and i suggest doing it every two to three days to keep it neat!!!
and if you are old enough to have a period then i think you are old enough to decide to shave or not.....i mean you should already be shaving your legs and under your arms so why is it any different there? i feel you are plenty old enough!!!!

No. You are not too young. I do not know if hygeni plays a factor. it is more of your personal preference and if you go to the beach, you do not want have a bunch of hair out of place. Shave it all. You will feel better

There is no reason to shave your pubic area unless you want a shaved pubic area. I personally do not like the feeling of a shaved pubic area but lots of people do. It is a matter of what you like and not how old you are.

It all depends on what you like..I wouldn't shave too much though. Hair is "down there" to protect you from bacteria and infections...
