Do you think it's appropiate for a 13 year old girl to shave her pubic hair ...?


Question:
Do you think it would be appropiate for a 13 year old girl to shave her pubic area so only a line whould show? I was reading Seventeen Magazine and it had a little section about the vagina and I was just curious. I think it's called the Brazillian Wax, but I'm not sure. Anyway, would it be ok to do this? No rude questions please.

Answers:
There's no one answer here, really. Some women just trim or shave a portion, others remove the whole shebang (which, when done with wax, is called the Brazilian wax, as you mentioned).

In terms of age...I personally think that waxing speaks towards an extreme self-consciousness of the body that many women struggle against for their whole lives. If I were a mother, I know I'd strongly advocate against it.

That said, this is a personal issue and calls for a personal decision, whether at thirteen or thirty. The most important thing to know is that it's a decision that will require a lot of upkeep in the future, so be sure before making a hasty decision.
Yeah, if you want to itch like crazy!
No totally inapropriate for 13 years old. In fact if you shave it, it will only grow back thicker.
trim it for cleanliness but you young to design it and shave.
NO.
its a personal choice seeing that your thirteen noone should be seeing it anyway so do what you want
I started shaving my pubic hair when I first got it (at age 13). It just depends on the person and how they feel about it. Good luck (:
Yes, of course. No one see that area, especially at 13 - so shave whatever and however you like.
13 is a bit young for this kind of thing but if you feel uncomfortable with public hair in that region I suggest you speak with your parent an maybe visit a hair removal centre and have it done probaly..don't attack with a razor will cause complication later down the line..
shaving down there is not good because your at high risk for bacteria to have access there. There is reason they are there.
theres really no point to do it. after all, who's gonna see?
I think at that stage of age is so young to think about even triming. I believe her focus should be in school. If its a purpose of cleansing or a problem with a disease then go for it. Not for anything else.
im just as stumbled as you;
but do shave the part that is comming out of your bathing suit.
if you want to though..
shave the whole thingg.
thats what im going to do.
I started shaving as soon as I noticed it, so I think it is okay for someone your age to do it. What is inappropriate, is if you start wanting to shave in designs and stuff like that. I would imagine that only sexually active women do that because they want to excite their partner. So, yes it is okay to shave for cleanliness at your age, but don't get creative and only leave a landing strip... You are too young for that. : )
yes i started at 12 1/2
my mom told me you can shave it when the hair coes out but you should shave your hands and legs hair what your period starts.
whatever your comfortable doing its totally fine and a personal choice..go for it
