I use too but not after i had my son. I figure the doctors have seen some pretty funky stuff and mine is beautiful compared to some. I don't think they care i think that a lot woman are just insecure or self conscious so they clean it up down there.

I do what makes me comfortable. Usually I try to shave as much as possible but for some it comes easier then others. My doctor actually said she has seen EVERYTHING, just like any doctor. Don't worry about it there not going to "not treat" you if your not shaved.

i go as is, its only natural. they seen so many, i dont think they can actually tell a big difference of who was shaved, who was trimmed and who wasn't. dont worry about it, the doctors dont care, they're not looking at the outside anyways, as long as the path to the inside is clear, they will be able to do their jobs hehe.

Cleaned up is always a good route to go...works for me...dont really know what the docs would say but i am sure they would rather see a clean person or someone who trys then something nasty

Honestly, I bet they look at so many people "down there" that the cleaner ones are appreciated. I can imagine if I was a gyno, that's what I'd want. I'm sure some can be scary!

I think thats really up to you. I would think that the dr. doesnt really have a preference. If you would be more comfortable then of course, you should.

So long as you are clean, front and back, the rest should not matter. Gynocologists and staff are used to seeing hair.

do whatever you normally do. honestly, they have seen it all. no need to go out of your way and go through the trouble of shaving when your normally dont. your doctor would like to see what you are like day to day. you dont need to impress them with your grooming.

Absolutely. If someone is going to see any part of my body, I try to make it as neat and clean and possible.
