General Question about "shaved or smooth" private areas

Contributor: Bignuf Bignuf
Magazines, mainline TV and Radio talk shows, and every adult venue seems to indicate that "shaving" down there is a norm. Even billboards for laser hair removal sprout on main roads. SO...what is the scoop in our group? (I use the word "shave"..but laser would count the same, of course.

I switch between going fully natural and trimming the hedge to give a softer look.

Most of it is shaved, I bounce between a strip, upside down pyramid and a V. Pretty much what ever pops into my head. Wife likes to just have a strip.

We both shave smooth - no patches or patterns.

Lately I've been shaving it all off, but sometimes I leave a little patch or strip. My boyfriend shaves his balls and trims the area above his penis.

I guess you'd call me "shaped." I shave everything but a trimmed patch that I shape into what I like to think of as a trapezoid. I need a bit of padding and skin that's not so sensitive above my clit so that I can rub against my partner without getting incredibly irritated. My boyfriend only trims, and we're both quite happy with the arrangement.

I shave it all. I figure if Im down there, take care of it all. I use to leave a strip but then it gets long and gotta trim it so just shave it all. I have gotten a bit lazy and use bfs goatee trimmer on the top and sides then razor on the naughty part. = )

I used to trim, but when I went travelling, I just stopped. I was living in hostels the better part of 6 months so it was too much hassle. Very rarely I'll get an urge to trim, but sharp things and my vulva stay far away from each other. that goes for lazers and hot wax too.

Sometimes I shave it all off, soemtimes leave a landing strip or a bermuda triangle. Sometimes I'll let it grow out and trim it.

Depends on the day/week. Sometimes I like to let it grow out and just trim. Sometimes I shape and trim it really short. I LOVE going bare. Just feels sexy to me for some reason. Smooth. Unfortunately my sensitive skin prevents me from going bare on a regular basis. It's more of a special occasion thing. ;-)

I trim everything and get really close, but if I'm going bare, I go get waxed. I have issues shaving myself and while my man does it for me sometimes, I like waxing better than shaving anyway. He doesn't trim anything. He's all natural.

Idk, it's not such a big deal to me, but I think more and more ppl are getting to the point where they fully expect their partner to be smooth. Idgaf if I'm getting some action though, tbqh. lol

I hate shaving, so I just trim. But I do it rarely.

My guy just wants it to be at least trimmed down ("no jungle" as he says). I shave everything about once a week, currently leaving a thin strip at the top.

Right now there is a majority women reporting shaved. I wonder if age much affects how women groom.

My wife and I are both shaved at the moment, but we like to change things up once in a while.

I don't usually shave. The few times I have done it if I don't shave daily it starts to itch and drives me nutty. I just don't have the time to shave every day. Never thought of the trimming idea...might have to add that to the new things we are trying this weekend for our anniversary get a way...hehe very excited just thinking about it all. Any advice?

My preference is for no hair aside from what's on my head, but that's impractical and I'm terribly lazy. So trimming's the way to go for me.

I very much prefer to go smooth. Although I will draw the line at what I cannot easily see/reach.
