Some women choose to shave their pubic hair and others do not. It's a personal preference. Some women also choose to wax their pubic hair because it leaves a cleaner appearance than shaving does. Most women in my demographic (18-24) that I know do groom their pubic region. It sounds like you are young, however, so you may not find it necessary.

This is not a sex question. This is a question that has more to do with health and hygiene. Also management of your pubic hair for summer swimwear.
Questions such as this one and other questions concerning your reproductive systems health should be directed to your mom. She is the one best able to answer questions like this one and others you may have like this. Also questions as to whether something that may be happening is normal or needs to be seen by a gynecologist should be asked of mom. Remember mom is built just like you and has experienced everything you will.
An example of the type of questions to bring to mom would be problems or questions about your period. Your period is a normal bodily function just as breathing is. While it is related to your reproductive system it does not make any question, concern or problem you may experience a sexual question. Therefore their is no reason to be embarrassed to ask mom. Even missing a period does not mean your pregnant if you have not had sexual intercourse. There are many reasons a women, even one moms age, will miss their periods. Some require medical treatment and mom should be told so she can help you get proper treatment if needed.
Last but not least we are not doctors and cannot diagnose any medical conditions. Also just because you and someone here may experience similar pains does not mean you have similar ailments. If you are sick or are experiencing pain for unknown reasons the best advise is to ask mom or contact your doctor.
Take the advice of an old grand parent; parents are not the enemy. Their is nothing new out there that we have not already seen or heard of when we were growing up. As parents our job is to help you grow up without making the mistakes we made at your age. There are reasons we say no to certain things. If you ask calmly why most parents will explain. You may not like the answer but the reasons are usually valid from the standpoint of your health and safety. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]

It might be something to do with how you see your body, you or your partner might prefer the smooth, hairless, 'little girl'look or can't be bothered with it and remain 'au naturelle.'
Hope this helps, best wishes X.
By the way, men do it too! [ Carriebeca's advice column | Ask Carriebeca A Question ]
