I hate my downstairs area, what do I do?

I've been extremely upset about how I look down there and although my mum's told me it's all natural I can't help but be repulsed and feel as if I will be alone forever because guys will be repulsed, how can I expect them to accept something I can't accept on myself! I'm quite hairy down there although I do keep it trimmed, but the hair even continues to my bum hole and I don't want to shave or trim anywhere near there because once you start you can't stop and I don't want to be 80 years old and still having to wax (or shave) my ass, I choose not to completely remove any of the hair from my vulva because whenever I did it wouldn't feel right to me. I was advised to look at it for myself and it made it worse! It's darker and then the inside is pink and it is so clear to see that the hair leads straight to my bum hole but I still don't wanna remove it as every time you do it just gets worse and I don't feel comfortable doing that. I'm 17, most of my friends are getting into relationships but they have never worried about their downstairs area, I just feel as if I'll find nobody because of the fashion to have no hair down there and for guys my age hair down there is a certain turn off and if I do then they will be repulsed, I can't blame them because I'm am completely disgusted by it that it is always on my mind that I'm gross! All I do is cry because I don't want to be alone or disgusting and I honestly do hate myself, why can't I just be desirable like every other girl or just be okay with going bald. I feel if someone was to see that part of me then they wouldn't be attracted to me anymore because it's so unattractive down there. I've been told that what I have is normal and that's what a woman looks like but that was all by my mum who is a different generation to me and doesn't understand the 'fashion' nowadays. I just want someone to think I'm perfect without having to change myself down there, even though it is utterly repulsive; unrealistic right?

  • First, Calm down, you won't be a pariah because of that.
    Second. You are absolutely normal. Some have a little more hair, some less.
    Third. You will always have to shave. Shaving or not does not make hair grow faster or slower.
    Fourth. You will HAVE to believe me when I say that there is NOTHING more beautiful in this WHOLE UNIVERSE than a vagina ok? I am not even joking. It's like men and women aren't wired the same way about this. When I see one, I salivate ! And I am not alone. It's like oysters. I LOVE oysters. Some people cannot comprehend how it is I can love this, but I do. Well it's like men all love oysters and some women don't. They don't understand why, but we love them anyway !

    Stop worrying ! Your vagina is beautiful. If you feel insecure about your hair, have it waxed or trim or shave it. Why don't you go talk with a beauty technician and ask her how it works and what it will do to you.

  • You are being way too self-conscious about your pubic hair. To have hair downstairs is the natural thing. Keep it up. Men find pubes very arousing. At least they should. And the trail of hair from your vulva down to your butt hole should be a great visual turn-on to any normal male. I can imagine how pleasurable it would be to go down on you, to eat you. In fact, I creamed myself reading your very own description about your downstairs area. The important thing is, always keep your nether region clean, neat, hygenic.

    • Wow, I didn't realize that men found hair down there arousing. Do you think this would still be the case for most guys no matter their age? I'm really shocked, I seriously thought it was so ugly and nobody would ever find it attractive!

  • First of all, calm down honey! There`s nothing wrong with you, that`s how men and women are. We all have hair down there, from the front to the back. You don`t have to be disgusted by your body. Men love all sizes of pussy, they really don`t care how it looks. I don`t get why you don`t want to shave though. It`s because you like it hairy? Or because you`re not confortable with the way it looks ans you`re afraid to be rejected? If you like it that way, keep it that way. I personally like it to be shaved but many friends of mind don`t and they never had problems getting laid. If you`re not confortable because of its look, well, men LOVE what`s between your legs, they always did. If you`ll be having sex with someone who is not a complete dick and who truly cares about you even if he thinks it doesn`t look good (which, again, it`s not possible!) he won`t have any problem with making love with you :)

    • Thank you so much! I don't know why but I've just never liked it bare, but it's still disgusting trimmed as well and I really do hate myself. I just can't believe that a guy would be attracted to mine because it really is gross and I don't understand how it can be attractive to anyone or why they would stay with me and love me when I look so repulsive down there.

  • If you really hate the hair and don't want to wax or shave, maybe consider laser? It permanently removes the hair, or lessens it drastically. Don't worry about being darker down there, many women are darker there and guys don't mind. Just keep it clean 😁

  • For heavens sake, please just shave it clean and don't worry about the size or color of your labia, most guys hate hair and want it shaved, but they love everything else. You'll be a smash hit with a shaved pussy.

  • Honestly, I think the problem is more with yourself...
    Don't worry about the color of your pigment, it's not important at all!
    If the hair bothers you in certain areas, you can have electrolysis done to where it will not grow back... You may have to wait until you get a job and can afford it yourself, but you do have options.

  • if you're that worried, thn try out IPL (intense pulsed light) hair removal. It takes some time, but it is more or less permanent.

    Just a tought.

  • Most people here know that my family are naturists. I have seen just about every combination of hair/no hair, fat/thin, small labia/large labia. Leave it hairy, trim it, shave it, wax it. Whatever makes you happy.

    No decent guy is going to be bothered what it looks like. He is interested only in YOU, the person that thinks and lives in your head. Only shallow guys walk away from a girl because of how they look down there, and they are really not worth bothering with. Let some other girl deal with their petty likes and dislikes.

    Talk more if it will help!

  • well you're still growing up so chill out bro. it'll get better and you'll get over it.

  • Hairs down there are natural, If you have them it is better, It is not usually a turn off for guys, not for me even.
    It can be turn on for me ;)

  • Well if you think guys your age will be repulsed then go for older guys. They will accept you for who you are not the way your bumhole looks. Older guys are better loves anyway so you gain from all angles...

  • Don't worry about it. Guys aren't going to leave you for that. And, by the way, fashion may change, but what makes a woman attractive will never change, since, biologically, men and women are the same that they were centuries ago. It'd be wise to listen to your mother.

    • I really hope you're right but I just can't see a situation in which they accept me for how I look down there.

  • Hair down there doesn't bother me

  • leave it hairy best way

  • Is ur booty fat

  • I always cry because there are holes caused by acne on my face :(( who knows how beaitiful you are that is really natural !!!

  • Just get it waxed and you won't be self conscious about it

  • I've never understood why some girls hate being bald down there. Most hairy vaginas don't look cute. You can get the hair permanently removed by laser. I love being bald, it feels so smooth and perfect.

    • I am sorry but I must disagree. Yes a lot of men prefer shaved or waxed, but it will change eventually. It's always been like that. It changes every odd generation or so. It's a fashion thing. Only very shallow men will refuse to do anything with a hairy vagina. I am certainly not one of them.

    • Good for you. Want a cookie? :)
