Vagina grooming preferences: how do you like your hair down there?

It seems that vagina grooming is a hot topic for men and women. It’s not just about sex, it’s about the entire experience.  Some wax, while others don’t, many trim, shave, or use depilatory creams.  

In polling men and women in Long Beach and surrounding areas, there appears to be a discrepancy between what men and women like. The numbers speak for themselves:

12 -  Men

7 - Bald

1 - Landing Strip

2 - Natural

1 - Trimmed

1 - No Preference

12 - Women

3 - Bald

0 - Landing Strip

1 - Natural

8 - Trimmed

0 - No Preference 

It seems that men prefer bald vaginas, while women would rather trim.  Why do you think there is such a huge difference in opinion in this area?  A 42-year old gentleman from Los Angeles stated “As an older guy, I personally like a woman with hair down there, because I like to thrill of discovery.”  While a 32-year old Long Beach resident said “The hair gets in the way. I like it bald and clean.”

The women have a different take on the situation. For the most part, women prefer a well-groomed, trimmed vagina. “The reason that men like it bald is because they have been watching too much porn!” exclaimed one Long Beach woman.  Could the porn industry be the blame?

Vagina grooming can be very tedious and certainly requires a level of dedication.  There are many options available:

Shaving

The most popular way to remove unwanted hair is shaving.  You can buy razors at your local drug or convenience store, multiple varieties are available.  Shaving is quick and easy, but care must be taken. Using a shaving cream is advisable, it will provide a little barrier between the razor and your skin. Shaving is a short-term solution, the hair will return within a day or two, so frequency is a must. 

Waxing

Waxing has gained popularity over the years.  The Brazilian Wax gets rid of EVERYTHING, while the Bikini wax removes hair outside of the panty line. Spas and salons around the world provide waxing services to the masses. If you like to dot-it-yourself, wax kits can be purchased for home use as well. 

Depilatory Creams

Products like Nair, make removing hair simple and easy.  You slather the cream on, wait a minute, and wipe.  Hair is gone before you know it.  You have to be very careful using these products in the genital regions, reading the instructions are a must, use as directed.

Electrolysis

If you want permanent hair removal, electrolysis is the way to go. This method can be a little time consuming, as a small needle is inserted into each hair follicle, destroying the hair at the root.  Sometimes multiple sessions are necessary to achieve the desired results. Permanent removal cannot be guaranteed 100% of the time because hair grows in different cycles at different times. 

Ultimately, vagina grooming comes down to personal preference. If you are in a relationship, this is a great conversation to have with your partner. You might be surprised to discover that you don’t see eye to eye on this issue.

So tell me, how do you like your hair down there?
