The Results Are In: For Men, The 'Brazilian' Is Still The Favorite. Just the bare facts: it turns out that when it comes to guys' preferences for women's pubic hair, less really is more.
Or if he does care, a full on Brazilian wax may not be required. A new study that was paid for by the hair removal company Nad's surveyed 1000 men and discovered that their most preferred look was not the Brazilian wax. The preference was with the article considered “trimmed and tidy”.
'" 43 percent of men polled said they preferred women's hair natural with a "Bermuda triangle" (i.e. trimmed hair and waxed sides). 17 percent said they like a "landing strip," 15 percent dig a heart shape, and only 12 percent said they prefer a full-on Brazilian (no hair at all).
Interestingly, 84 percent of the men surveyed had a preference when it came to a woman's pubic hair, but only 9 percent would end a date or sex because of a women's grooming habits -- so they must not care all that much. And of the men polled, a whopping 88 percent do some grooming of their own.
Some men prefer female pubic hair to be trimmed and tidy.
“I think it's just hygienic to keep it trimmed and cleaned. I wouldn't want a girl to go down on me if it looked like an unkempt forest,” says Nathan, 23. “To me,” says Micah, 29, “a trimmed bush says, 'I take care of myself. '”
Pubic hair removal is common — approximately 80 percent of women ages 18 to 65 report they remove some or all of their pubic hair.
A clear majority of women prefer a simple trim. While there will be eternal debate over whether or not the balls and anus should be smooth, most women agree that as long as things are kept in order, the style of trimming isn't a deal-breaker. You really can stick with a simple design and please most of the ladies.
Pubic Hair Trends
According to the researchers, when asked if they removed their pubic hair, 80% of women and 39% of men removed their pubic hair near the time of the survey. Also, 3% of women and 21% of men had never removed their pubic hair.
For some highly visually attuned people, body hair arrangements can enhance or undermine lovemaking experiences. On the other hand, since pheromones that are secreted to play a role in sexual attraction may be held in body hair, biologically, women with more pubic hair are sexier.
A Brazilian wax goes from the front all the way to the back with an added butt strip. It's perfect for a completely nude look or you can leave a neat triangle, strip, or square on the front—totally your choice.
A Brazilian wax means enjoying being hair-free, care-free longer. Once you've received your Brazilian wax, you will immediately notice the nice smooth and soft feel that other hair removal methods simply cannot offer. Feeling soft, clean, and fresh "down there" makes you confident on the inside and outside.
The BBL (Brazilian butt lift) might be one of the fastest-growing plastic surgery procedures in the U.S. right now, but the Brazilian bikini wax is still the most popular of all beauty treatment trends imported from the tropical country.
In general, pubic hair in females naturally covers the labia majora (outer lips) to the inner thighs and form a triangle-like shape up to the pubic bone. Some women will naturally grow thicker or thinner hair than others, so typically there's no cause for alarm when there's slight variation.
Data showed that 46% of men prefer when their partners go completely bare down there. 70% of women, on the other hand, only expect a trim to keep things neat, not total removal.
One of the main reasons for their popularity is likely the fact that they have become more accessible than ever before. In the past, women would typically need to go to a salon to get a bikini wax. However, these days there are plenty of at-home kits that make it easy to do it yourself.
MYTH: A full bush is a turn-off.
Reality: Technically, it depends on your partner, but there is some evidence that pubic hair could be a turn-on because it's full of pheromones.
Overall, the better choice of the two methods is totally up to you and your personal preference. For some, the pain of waxing is enough to put up with all the tedious parts of shaving. For others, the idea of shaving every day is much too high-maintenance. There is no better or worse process—only what's right for you.
Pubis Shaving
For many years, people never cared about shaving their pubic hair until the birth of bikini in 1946. Between the 1960s and 1970s, trimming took a different twist, and women were discouraged from trimming. In the 1980s, they were now encouraged on trimming and even to do a thorough shave.
Should you shave your pubic hair every day? It might be tempting, but you definitely don't want to shave down there every day — this could lead to increased irritation. “It's best to give the skin some time to recover,” Dr. Garshick explains.
For females, the most common areas to depilate are underarms, legs, pubic area, eyebrows and face. For males, the most common areas are the face, abdomen, back, chest, groin and legs. Shaving is the most common way to depilate the underarms, legs and pubic area.
Here's what they found: 80% of women said they had removed their pubic hair recently at the time of the survey. Perhaps unsurprisingly, that number was only 39% for the guys. Just 3% of women said they had never removed their pubic fuzz.
Women aren't just burning their bras. In 2023 they are breaking up with their waxers and throwing out their razors.
So, you should be completely at ease knowing that your wax is going to be done as efficiently and professionally as possible. Sure, it may feel uncomfortable at first, but before you know it the wax is over and you're only left with a month of smooth and silky skin!
