It�s really a personal choice. Truth is, most women don�t shave their pubic hair, but some do.  Pubic hair does serve a purpose. It provides warmth and padding, and traps dirt and germs that can get inside and cause an infection. When people shave their pubic hair, they usually itch while the hair grows back. This sensitive skin area can also become irritated and sore without hair covering it.

If you do decide to shave, use a new, clean razor and lots of soap or shaving cream. Shave in the direction of the hair growth. Then put on some lotion or powder to stave off itching and irritation.
