What age do most people start shaving their hair down there?
Soso answered
Okay so there isn't really a "most people" age for deciding to shave down there, it's totally different for everyone and it's a super personal choice. Some people start shaving as soon as hair grows, some people never do, and some people wax or trim instead, and that's all normal.
Pubic hair usually starts growing when you hit puberty, which can be anywhere from 8 to 13 years old. For real, it's one of the signs your body is changing and growing up. How much hair you get, and whether it's super noticeable or not, is different for everyone too. Plus, it usually starts out light and sparse and gets thicker and darker over a few years, so whenever you decide to do anything about it, it will be the right time for you. Just like with all your other body changes, you get to decide what you want to do with your body hair!
If you do decide to shave, it's a good idea to chat with a grown-up first so they can show you how to do it safely and help you get the right stuff, like a fresh, clean razor and shaving cream. You want to avoid any nicks or irritation, because that skin is super delicate.
