Pubic hair grooming is quite common, especially among women, who often shave, wax, or use laser removal methods. But how does it affect their sexual health? A comprehensive study involving 73,091 participants sheds some light on this topic. The main finding is that pubic hair groomers have a higher chance of getting gonorrheal and chlamydial infections, with the odds being notably significant for gonorrheal and for chlamydial infections. Interestingly, groomers and non-groomers face no significant difference in viral infections like genital herpes and condyloma acuminata.
Genital itching is the most common side effect of grooming, affecting 26.9% of women. Most women use non-electrical razors (69.3%) for grooming. White women groom more frequently (80.2%) compared to black women (12.2%). Complete grooming (50.3%) is preferred over partial grooming (33.1%). But when it comes to satisfaction, there’s no significant difference between groomers and non-groomers.
This study highlights the need for awareness about the risks and safe practices of pubic hair grooming. Understanding these aspects can help women make informed decisions about their grooming habits.
