yeah if you wanna shave go for it. you should definitely trim it first, because if not then your razor is gonna need to be cleaned after every stroke and it will take forever. you could also consider waxing (ouch) or a hair removal cream (nair, veet). use a really good shaving cream though, because your skin is gonna be super sensitive for a while and make sure you have a good razor (try like a venus or a mach 3-i only use men's razors!). if you get any nicks or cuts, use a little neosporin or a&d ointment (you can find it either with the bandaids or with diaper rash creams) and wear cotton undies that aren't super tight around the legs. other than that, i think you're good to go!!

Don't do it if you don't feel comfortable. Not gonna lie, it does start to itch when the hair is growing back in...then that makes you want to shave it...but because you had shaved not too long ago...you end up with red bumps. Ah, quite the sticky situation.

But, anyway, why don't you just get some Nair? Put your bathing suit (or an old pair of underwear) on, and just rub Nair on the areas of hair that are visible. You could even shave that way.

I started shaving when I was 13 and I'm a swimmer too but I think you should wax instead because when you shave and the hair starts to grow back, it gets kinda itchy and also, waxing lasts longer so you don't have to worry about shaving so much.

Hey....

Iv'e been removing hair since i was 13.....and im now 18

It does make you feel cleaner, and it helps alot when wearing a bathing suit, but it has absolutly nothing to do with been a virgin, or loosing your virginity at that.

My advice would be to try it,,,,if you like it stick with it, if not then well stop and just trim when nessercary.

Either way what ever you decide to do...Goodluck =]

If you want to. I started when I was 13 or 14. Shaving doesn't mean anything about losing your virginity or anything sexual. It's just personal preference.

Well I'm 13 and I do it. But I don't think it's the same for me because it's more like a mental thing. Like I don't want any hair there or I'll go crazy. Although that's just the type of person I am. SO if it disturbs you or you want to then go ahead.

I started when I was like 13 1/2 er something. haha I don't like the hair there.. well, I don't shave it all.. More like half of it. hahaha

I'd do what you're comfortable with, I mean, it's just for you to see, so go with what you want.

Shaving has nothing to do with having sex or being a virgin. Just shave if you want to. If you don't want the discomfort that sometimes comes with it, then trim it.

I do it and have been since I was like 14 or 15.

well.. pubic hair is there for a reason. for protection against viruses and bacteria that can easily enter by you know........... but if you shave it you hair will get thicker and darker and it'll itch bad around there............... and when you get older and want to hide your hair again it will be too much too hide. Just like legs when you shave them you can get cut (and you DO NOT want to get cut down there), just try to wear things like mini skirts that can cover that part. (good luck and hope this helped)
