writes:my bf says he prefers the shaved look, but my hair is kind of coarse and grows back fast. do guys think it's gross/uncomfortable feeling when a girl has pubic stubble? or do they think it looks gross if there's a rash/ingrown hairs/general irritation? because i pretty much have that all the time to some degree when i shave. i'm just wondering if a guy who prefers the shaved look would still prefer it with all this gross redness/razorburn that comes as a result of being shaved. cause personally if i were a guy i'd think the furriest bush would be preferable to this. i just don't know if guys see it differently.

I agree with keeping it trimmed and clean down there, I even keep myself neatly trimmed, and even a bikini wax, but don't shave down there for no-one. 1st, it's gross, 2nd, it will get stubble fast, 3rd, you can get pimples or in-grown hairs and that would be even more unattractive (not to mention potentially painfull, or infected).

I agree with the other post - try waxing. It lasts much longer than shaving and there is NO burning, rashes or ingrown hairs.

 You could always just trim it rather than shave it completely off.
Or, you could try waxing... it is painful but it lasts several weeks.

But, I don't see why you have such bad irritation every time. Make sure your razor is fresh and not too blunt, and you are using shaving cream.
Ahh.. it's nice to answer a less depressing question.
Thanks!
