I am okay with being a woman and having hair… down there. There, I said it, you guys – come and get me! I used to follow the trends – shave, pluck, electrocute – but not anymore. I don’t care if “no one finds that sexy“. Because one day, as a woman, you just wake up and go, you know what? I kinda dig my my undercarriage fur. It suits me. And why does it suit you? Because it’s natural and it’s supposed to be there. Yeesh.
I spent my whole life waiting to bloom into a woman and the moment I do, TV, movies and loud mouth boys in my class claim it’s a necessity to shave it off and be a woman in other ways. Well, not for this little Momma Bear. She has had enough of this socially acceptable “sexy how-to” guide filled with nonsense. Here I come, world. Who’s with me? (It’s totally fine if you’re not, BTW.)

Why is this issue always presented as either jungle or jailbait? Either we’re playing into the hands of a patriarchal society or making some huge statement against it? Well, I’m not going to play that game. What I do with my ladyparts is my business. (For the record, I trim things up but don’t remove everything – a thin layer of hair stays – and that way I feel comfortable *and* clean. Taking it all off is time-consuming, itchy, and potentially painful, and not taking any off is actually painful as well, since the hair gets caught in my underwear and ain’t nobody got time for that.) You do what’s right for your undercarriage, and I’ll do what I want with mine, and can we stop making this a huge issue now? Awesome. (In case of angry people, I’d like to include as a disclaimer that I am more addressing society-at-large than the author of this article.)

A woman should look like a woman – not a little girl. No-hair-there is a turnoff for me.
A masoschist is someone who claims to enjoy pain – be it sexual or otherwise.
heck yes! I applaud you.
and funny thing is that I have actually read that most men (real men IMO) (or at least to my knowledge) actually prefer their women with hair…down there. Not that any of their opinions should affect our decisions of our own body image…
Love it!
awesome.
I love this! I am 19 and feel aaallll that horrible pressure to shave, pluck, wax or whatever but I refuse! Yes, I keep it trimmed and make sure it’s not sticking out the side of my bathers but there is no bloody way in hell I would ever let anyone TEAR WAX OFF MY VAGINA! Ouch! Being young, as I am, without hair down there I just feel like a little kid. I don’t have sexy curves, I’m all straight up and down and my boobs are only average, so that hair is like proof that yes, I am a woman! To be honest, my boyfriend actually doesn’t like me shaving or waxing. I did for a while and he hated it (mostly because I would complain about ingrown hairs and the likes) which is totally amazing. I can be me, I can be hairy and yes I do feel sexy, so what is it to anyone else?
I couldn’t agree more. If you are comfortable then nobody else should really care too much.
I’m so glad you’ve posted this! I used to shave my legs and arms when I was at school, to try and avoid another excuse for the bullies during gym, but the minute I left school I stopped and I’m so comfortable with my decision. My partner, is not happy that I don’t shave but to be honest I don’t care, it’s his issue.
Your post also reminded me of another article I read about female body hair, which adds to your argument

Thank you again for posting this and being comfortable in yourself
Honestly I prefer some hair down there. It reminds me I’m not fucking a little kid but an adult woman. In fact I indulge women into thinking that it’s totally fine, beautiful and natural. Anyways I would hit on you, anytime. Greetings from Argentina!
Thank you thank you. Finally a voice of reason. I think it’s beautiful and it screams woman, not 12 year old. I wish that this would become a trend
Haha that’s the thing: Hair is natural. So is a woman’s right/impulse/desire to do what she wants with her preening. So between the two, whatever you want to do with your body, make sure you’re doing it for you, because despite what society tells you, there’s no right way to be a lady
(TMI?) Me, I shave and wax the d\ladybits, because I happen to like the way certain activities feel much more without bush in the way. But not, like, religiously, and my husband knew very well when we started dating five years ago that “OH GOSH WOMEN ARE HAIRY TOO CAUSE WE’RE THE SAME SPECIES, SHOCKER!”. I have nice natural legwarmers on my calves at the moment, cause hey, it’s chilly up here in New York 
Anyway, I love this, and more younger girls need to hear that hair = natural, personal, and up to YOU what you do with it. And any person you date who thinks otherwise ‘aint grown up yet.
Preach!
Haha, you’re fucking awesome!!
