    Is a shaved/waxed kitty hygienic?
    Discuss.

    There Are Some Great Health Reasons Not to Go Bare Down There

    Hygiene may be the least vain justification for ripping hairs off of your mons pubis, but it's not doctor recommended. Since getting Brazilian bikini waxes, which remove the entire patch of pubic hair from ones vagina, is an unnatural thing to do, women cite various reasons for the painful and expensive practice, as Ashley Fetters explains in her lengthy piece on the phenomenon over at The Atlantic. 60 percent of American women between 18 and 24 are sometimes or always completely bare down there not just because it's sexy, or the porn stars made it cool, or cultural non-acceptance of body hair, but because it's cleaner. "I work out a lot. I get sweaty," regular waxer Sophia Pinto told Fetters. "And it starts to smell when you've got hair down there. So yeah, it hurts, but I just feel so much cleaner." But is it really cleaner?

    There's a difference between odor and cleanliness. Pinto and the like are referring to the at times unpleasant aroma of ones nether regions. But a smelly vagina doesn't mean a dirty vagina. In fact, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists say that a clean vagina will have a mild stench, which is a why they do not recommend douching.

    As for hygiene, Dr. Emily Gibson argues over at the medical blog KevinMD that this type of hair removal opens up female genitalia to all sorts of nasty sounding infections.

    Pubic hair removal naturally irritates and inflames the hair follicles left behind, leaving microscopic open wounds. Rather than suffering a comparison to a bristle brush, frequent hair removal is necessary to stay smooth, causing regular irritation of the shaved or waxed area. When that irritation is combined with the warm moist environment of the genitals, it becomes a happy culture media for some of the nastiest of bacterial pathogens, namely group A streptococcus, staphylococcus aureus and its recently mutated cousin methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA). There is an increase in staph boils and abscesses, necessitating incisions to drain the infection, resulting in scarring that can be significant. It is not at all unusual to find pustules and other hair follicle inflammation papules on shaved genitals.

    Not to mention, greater vulnerability to herpes and other STIs, cellulitis, and abrasions -- all just from waxing. There can also be more extreme complications. One diabetic woman went to the hospital with herpes and a bacterial infection after a Brazilian, leading researchers to believe that women with weak immune systems open the body up to greater chance of infection after a wax.

    900 dead from Cholera. Sad with all the medical advancements we have today that some people still have to die from something that can be controlled.

    Anybody know why (most) humans have evolved to hirsutelessness except for pubic and underarm areas?

    I don't know. But I think eventually, we will look like the alien greys. And they are hairless. Also, I think because of our constant exposure to TV's, computer monitors, and cell phone displays, we will also eventually lose most of our eyesight and evolve to having big ass eyes like they do.

    right. It should have added, "in some cases, overpowering"

    Losing our hair allowed to run down large game without over heating. Sweating wouldn't be an effective way to keep from overheating if we were hairy. We retain hair in our pubic and underarm areas (and head) for exactly the opposite reason...to keep from losing too much heat from those areas. Or as a form of sexual ornamentation depending on which theory you want to believe.

    hair on the head retained obviously to keep from losing too much heat from the organ that consumes more energy than any other, or from being overheated from direct sunlight

    pubic and underarm hair was retained for sexual signalling, attraction, not for retaining heat.

    I was having a conversation about hairless and hairy vaginas the other day, its my opinion that this fad is cyclical and here in a decade or so we will see hair become en vogue again, like the seventies and eighties. What do yall think?
