[QUOTE]Originally posted by unfinished thought.: [QB] The body has many defenses against microorganisms. Hair is one of them, since it can physically trap bacteria and prevent it from entering our systems. Pubic hair can actually ward off infections like BV or yeast, and by shaving it off, you are putting yourself more at risk. The pubic hair protects against chemicals making contact with the skin. There have been studies done relating to the shaving they used to do pre-birth - they don't do it any more, because they found that it increased infection risks rather than diminishing them as they thought. It had to do with microscopic trauma to the skin allowing bacteria in. Posted by queensugar 2008-12-03 05:10 am UTC ( The medical director at my clinic is pretty vocal on this topic -- she's very clear that in her review of the evidence, shaving pubic hair is related to an increase in infections and is unhealthy for the vulvar region as a whole. [info]pretty492 2008-12-03 06:25 am UTC (länk) Our body does all sorts of things for it's own reasons, hair, opposable thumbs, predator style eye placement... When we first started having these features it was for good reason, protection, grabbing, eating... Now we can get a sweater for a couple bucks, use an ear piece or grabbing device and make a quick trip to the store for food. The mid-wife at my OBGYNs commented on my shaving one day, "I see that you're shaving this area regularly. You should really be using anti-bacterial soap or you'll be prone to infections." She sounded a little judgemental but she's older and very thorough so what are you gonna do? One of the good things about pubes is that they function to dissipate excess moisture—like sweat—by maintaining a layer of air between skin and underwear. They also provide cushioning for delicate flesh. If you take all of your hair off, you will have to wear loose undergarments made from breathable materials such as cotton or silk to prevent irritation. And if you are prone to sweating a lot, you may have to get used to using cornstarch or other safe, talc-free powder. Also, while shaved looks cleaner, some studies show that removing pubic hair can promote fungal infection of the genitals. And fungal infections are contagious. That's a pretty serious downside.
