Shaved Mons - Phenomenon

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

Hey all, just finished my rotation in OBGYN. I nted the phenomenon of women keeping totally bare mons and lady partsl area. I figured this trend would phase out like most but this trend is continuing to grow larger according to the nurses that worked with me. All others seeing this same upward trend...

Interesting post.... and how the heck does a 9 month pregnant woman even reach the area!

I know! But the funny thing is, I know people who totally spend hours down there before they go to their monthly check ups during pregnancy, and go all out to get the area in shape before they give birth! I guess they figure there will be lots of student nurses taking notes, lol.:chuckle

2) I have never known of a dude that truly enjoys trekking through a jungle in some chick's bedroom

Some do not care either way. Perhaps a concept for young, single guys?

Personally, I cannot see taking the time and effort to shave, wax, laser, or what have you. Especially in light of a concept that is purely cosmetic, and only cosmetic in a limited number of situations.

As an NP in an urgent care clinic, I treat several cases of cellulitis caused by shaving (both men and women) in the genital area every week. Personally, I think pubic hair is more attractive than an abcess!!!

I think it's normal to notice something such as that...especially if it looks drastically different than your own?! I noticed the same thing during my intership and clinical and the nurses told me it was common to have your husband "clean you up" before the big day, especially for women who knew they were having a c-section and were going to be shaved on the OR table anyways. I guess you rather find nothing than look like they just shaved a poodle in the OR.

i have been keeping bare since i was 15,because i just do not like the way hair looks or feels down there.

idk. i think many women and men just prefer to keep themselves clean shaven, no big deal.

what will happen when you get tired of or too old to shave all the time? won't it be very thick and long when it grows in? i guess we will see alot of really hairy old ladies in ltc 30 years from now. lol:d

nah...hormones change, things thin out anyway...:cry:
