Most Women Shave Their “Parts” While Some Have Bad Side Effects

Let me just start by saying that , when it comes to shaving your "danger zone," be safe. Personally I am a firm believer that "its a garden let it grow," but I am a hairy ox. A news study has shown that almost 90% of women shave their "cookies," while 60% experience bad side effects.

According to the Daily Mail

Women who shave their bikini lines risk complications such as infections, burns, severe itching, rashes or cuts, a new study has warned. 

U.S. researchers found that 87 per cent of women currently remove all or some of their pubic hair, with the majority using a razor, while the rest admitted to getting a bikini wax at least once in their life.

Almost two thirds (60 per cent) of the women also reported experiencing at least one health-related complication, which also included invisible cuts to the skin called epidermal abrasions, ingrown hairs, bruises or allergies.

Despite the complications, only 44 of the women surveyed said they used to remove their hair but had stopped.

The most common reason cited by 41 per cent of these women was disliking the side effects, which included stubble, bumps, rashes, or ingrown hairs.

Other reasons were too much of a hassle (25 per cent), lack of sexual activity (11.4 per cent), liking the look of pubic hair (7.1 per cent), and their partner wanted them to stop (2.4 per cent).
