This is something that no one really ever knows for certain; most people just go by trial and error. So no need to be embarassed!
I will start by saying that there is no need for you to shave anywhere near your genitals if you don't want to. There is nothing wrong with going natural.
Other people choose to just shave their 'bikini line.' This means shaving any hair that can still be seen when you are wearing underwear - or that would show if you were wearing a bathing suit.
Some people also trim their pubic hair. This means getting a pair of scissors and just carefully trimming the hair - like going natural, just shorter.
Other women choose to shave their entire pubic area, though this is not the norm.
Things that will help you if you choose to shave:
1. You'll need to use a new razor every time. The newer the razor, the sharper the blade. This means you will get a closer shave without needing to go over and over the same area.
2. Use shaving foam and apply it all over the area you want to shave.
3. Shave in the direction the hair grows, instead of against it. (When you shave your legs, you shave against the direction the hair grows.) This does not get as much hair off - I won't lie - but it does reduce the chances of razor burn.
4. Try not to keep going over the same area again and again. It might help to trim the area before you shave, so the razor isn't fighting against as much hair.
Your other options include waxing the area, which might last longer and won't leave razor burn.
All of the above suggestions are to help avoid razor burn - a red, bumpy area of spots that can be caused by irritated skin and ingrown hairs. This can be uncomfortable or itchy. Many women who shave all their pubic hair also say that it is very itchy when it grows back in.
Best of luck, whatever you decide!
