I grew it out long enough for it to reach the full length it was before I first shaved it. I remember it itching before I started shaving it, too, which was the initial reason I started. I guess mine is just particularly coarse.

I like how mine looks both ways, but it feels better to me without. Also, I have what's left shaved into a heart, so I'm enjoying the novelty of that for a while. less

After reading yet another debate about shaving pubic hair versus leaving it there, I decided to grow mine back out to see how I felt about it. I started shaving it because it irritated me, and I found that the irritation hasn't changed. I found having pubic hair caused me to itch, reduced the amount of sensation I felt on my outer labia, made grooming less convenient, and caused me to develop more of a scent than I usually would if I sweated even a little. However, it did prevent chafing somewhat and protect the skin. In the end, I couldn't go another day with it there and shaved it again. Although I did take the opportunity to switch my landing strip for a fun new shape, which was actually a bit of a liberating experience. Creative grooming is fun.

So, have you ever changed up how you keep your pubic hair just to try out other options? Did you like or hate the change? Did it become a permanent change or did you go back to your old style? What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages to your style of choice? less
