Hello,
I've tried both, shaving is a bit dodgy, especially the higher up parts which are quite prone to razor burn. The labia tend not to get razor burned, but are more awkward to shave because you can't really see what you're doing and it's tough to position the razor, so you risk cuts.
A professional wax job is recommended, DO NOT DO A HOME WAX (trust me). A professional wax isn't too bad, I mean it hurts like hell, but it's over really quick.
Other than the pain there are no huge disadvantages. The purpose of pubic hair in both males and females is to hold the scent of secretions in that area which in theory help to attract a mate. Culturally (in the Western world anyway) this has somewhat lost it's appeal, so there isn't really anything to lose. Pubic hair actually increases bacteria in the region, rather than reducing it, by increasing the surface area on which they can grow and feed on nutritions vaginal secretions. It is however possible to get a skin infection should you not take good care of the exposed pores after shaving or waxing (it takes a few days for them to heal). Make sure to keep the area clean and dry (never use antibacterial soap there unless you're "itching" for a yeast infection), and after the redness goes away use a loofah on the area when you wash. This is especially important when the new hair growth begins to break the surface of the skin, regular use of a loofah will help the hairs to breech properly and will prevent ingrown hairs.
Also, expect that the new hair growth, when it's still very short, will be quite sharp and prickly.
The advantages are it's cleaner and it increases the sensitivity of the area to pleasure.
It's up to you, but good luck!

other then it hurts, i dont know, i dont think when God made us he intended us to shave off that hair, it would probably get really cold sometimes and also you might get more infections because the hair wont be their to catch bacteria if it does im not sure your nose and ear hair does, and it would be cleaner though,

the best thing to do is get waxed my OBGYN told me that if u shave you could get blisters and really bad bumps waxing is really not that bad either it hurts the first time but then its all good and you only have to do it like every 4 weeks

There are reasons for having pubic hair, jsut like theres a reason for having hair elsewhere on your body. the hair helps to keep the area clean and it acts as a safeguard to stop bacteria getting to the area as easily. But there aren't really any disadvantages to shaving it off. You just have to be careful, because the skin there is very sensitive. Shaving can irritate the skin and razor burn can be really itchy and the skin can become red and bumpy, just like razor burn anywhere else. Also, when the hair is growing back it can become itchy, but once you get the hang of it, its just like shaving your legs! Some guy like it shaved, fully or partly, or some guy like it natural, so you must not feel like you have to but if its a personal preference then theres not reason why you shouldn't.
Hope i helped.

if you shave you're more able to get infections just because hair is on your skin for a reason & that's to stop certain bacteria entering places it shouldn't be. also, if you shave you can get razor burn & it can get really bumpy & it'll just irritate the shit out of you.
advantages are a lot of people do it & guys tend to enjoy it being fully shaved & also, it'll reduce like fishy scents from down below. :]

Advantage: Most guys don't want a bush.
Dis: Might cut yourself

Not serious problems, but you will probably get razor burn. Sometimes it gets super itchy if you shave it off.
