We have to realize that body hair is natural. The norm in today's society is to make sure that you have no leg, underarm and pubic hair especially for women. Why? Historically, shaving was simply more hygienic because showering was limited then but today that is not the case.

Women at a young age start to feel self-conscious when they start going through puberty but we all have to understand that hair in our armpits and on our genitals serve a purpose. 

This discussion has been going around for a while now. These are the top reason why women shave.

  • 75% of women said it is comfort during oral sex.
  • 67% of women said they do it because they feel more feminine.
  • 63% of women said they like to feel soft.
  • 62% of women said their partner liked it.
