For years, the trendiest pubic hair style was a trimmed or bald bush. But we've noticed a recent uptick in the number of women who've tossed out their razors and waxing kits in favor of letting things go au natural down below. Anecdotally speaking, lady lawns seem to be coming back into style—and it might be because more women are discovering the surprising health benefits.


“From a health standpoint, removing pubic hair can lead to irritation of the hair follicle, and open wounds or nicks, which may increase the risk for STI transmission,” says Maureen Whelihan , MD, an ob-gyn at the Elite GYN Care of the Palm Beaches in Florida. It's not clear if less hair means a higher risk of STIs, but one study did link pubic hair removal to increased transmission of herpes and HPV.


Curious about some of the other wellness benefits, we asked six women who love their hairy pubes to tell us how it's boosted their physical, mental, and sexual health. Here's why they've sworn off grooming for good.


“I always kept my bush because I never liked the way [my vagina] looked or felt without hair. For years I felt ashamed about that, especially in my teens and early 20s—when it seemed like everyone was totally bald. But by honoring my hair preferences, I knew I was a lot more confident in the bedroom than if I'd shaved. I also learned that if a partner didn’t like it, they weren’t the partner for me.” —Danny, 26


“Why am I bush-positive? Because ingrown hairs suck. And I don’t have to worry about getting them if I don’t shave or wax. When I did, I'd try to find shaving cream, post-wax oil, or some other soothing product that could prevent them. So I finally decided to leave my hair be. I'm glad there are plenty of people and potential partners who appreciate a full bush and think it's sexy.” —Ellen, 32


“Having pubic hair is like giving the finger to that prepubescent look that porn made so popular. My bush makes me feel powerful, and womanly, and 100% sexy. For me, it’s all about feeling confident and body positive in my natural state. My advice to any woman who is growing out her pubes for the first time is to own it. Strut your stuff. Embrace your natural body state.” —Meghan, 24


“My ex-boyfriend expressed a preference for hair, so I stopped shaving to see if I’d like it, too. I'd started removing my pubic hair as soon as it began appearing, so I’d never seen myself with a bush. Turns out, I loved it! Zero irritation, no razor bumps, no weird chafing from my spandex shorts or underwear. He and I have since broken up, but I still sport a bush. I recommend that any woman who has never seen or felt her lady bits with pubes grow it out at least once. You could find you love it as much as I do." —Elizabeth, 25


“Creams and at-home waxing kits made me break out, shaving left me with painful bumps, and plucking was a pain. Professional waxing was not only expensive and time consuming, but it hurt. After 15 or 20 years of this, I decided to finally listen to my body. Now I have a 1970s-style porn bush, and I love it. I can wear way sexier lace underwear without dealing with irritation because my hair protects me from nasty rub.” —Alexa, 35


“One day I was in the shower using a razor on my nether regions and I thought to myself, How much time could I save if I just stopped grooming? At first, not shaving was an experiment: save 10 minutes two to three times a week. But the longer I stopped shaving, the more having hair grew on me, and I ended up enjoying the look of it. By not shaving, I save 20 minutes a week, which is almost seven hours a year. LOL.” —Carly, 27

Beauty standards about pubic hair have come a long way in the last few years. Once viewed as taboo, having anything other than a Brazilian is finally losing its stigma. (To wit: Just last month, a razor brand debuted ads that actually show female body hair in them, a first for the industry.) Its normalization is in no small part helped by the celebrities who aren't afraid to open up about their grooming habits in interviews and on social media. Shave your pubic hair , wax, trim, do nothing—the point is, the choice is yours. Below, 10 famous women get real about their decision to keep it all.

Of course Amber Rose is on this list. The outspoken advocate, who's taken on victim- and slut-shaming in equal measure, put her pubes in the spotlight in one very NSFW Insta post last year to promote her annual Slut Walk philanthropy—which, with Instagram being Instagram, was promptly removed. Naturally, she reposted it on Twitter. Rose then shared an Instagram video, in which she rolls her eyes, with the caption: "When IG deletes ur fire ass feminist post but you really don't give a f-ck because everyone picked it up already #amberroseslutwalk #bringbackthebush."
In her 2017 cover story with Glamour , Graham got real about her pubes. "Honey, I have a full bush. Period. It’s about your preference and your partner’s preference," she replied to a reader's question. The news even became a topic in her family's group text . Weird, but also kind of endearing?
In an interview in 2017, Watson revealed that she uses an essential oil called " Fur Oil " everywhere—literally, everywhere. "I’ll use that anywhere from the ends of my hair to my eyebrows to my pubic hair," she said. "It’s an amazing all-purpose product." It should be noted, however, that many gynos recommend refraining from pube products, since a) pubic hair is all you need to protect skin from friction, b) it may irritate your skin, and c) oil can potentially interfere with condoms. We've got all the intel here in case you're curious.
We don't deserve Janelle Monáe, who recently blessed us with a music video for the girl-power anthem "PYNK," replete with feminist slogans and vagina pants. In it, she wears a pair of undies (which feature the award-worthy pun "SEX CELLS") with pubes peeking out from underneath them. The camera then zooms in on them, helping Monáe to make her statement in a fun, lighthearted way.
On The Graham Norton Show on BBC, Newton announced that she doesn't wear a merkin on HBO's hit show Westworld . "I didn’t need the merkin because I don’t alter anything—full seventies bush," she said. (A merkin, if you've never needed to fake natural pubes, is basically a pubic wig. The more you know.)
Paltrow's bush had to take a quick vacay when she wore a sheer dress to the Iron Man 3 premiere. "Well, let's just say everyone went scrambling for a razor," she shared on The Ellen Degeneres Show in 2013. "I work a '70s vibe...You know what I mean?"
In a weird encounter that can seemingly only happen in America, the Transparent actress met two fans who asked her how she got a merkin (again, the merkin!) in the film Crystal Fairy . As Hoffmann recounted in an interview with the New York Times Magazine , she cleared things up pretty succinctly, saying, "No, that’s just me. I’m a human. I have hair."
In case you haven't had the chance to read Diaz's tome The Body Book , she devotes an entire chapter to pubic hair, aptly titled "In Praise of Pubes." She's Team Pubes for a very specific reason. "Let's be honest: Just like every other part of your body, your labia major is not immune to gravity. Do you really want a hairless vagina for the rest of your life?" she writes. Some people might, but Diaz isn't one of them.
Unlike half the barrage that hits your feed, Knowles sends out truly insightful and applause-worthy tweets. "Who ever invented the bikini wax was an evil creature. Who said bushes need to b gone?!" she wrote back in 2010. And, sure, while the creator of the bikini wax was likely wearing a bikini, the sentiment is understandable.
The powers-that-be at Instagram shut down the account of artist and photographer Petra Collins because of a bikini pic featuring a tuft of pubic hair. She wrote a scathing essay in response. "Unlike the 5,883,628 (this is how many images are tagged #bikini) bathing suit images on Instagram, mine depicted my own unaltered state—an unshaven bikini line. Up until this moment I had obviously seen and felt the pressure to regulate my body but never thought I would literally experience it," she wrote. "The deletion of my account felt like a physical act, like the public coming at me with a razor."

Take It Off: A Look At Pube Trends of The Past

History wasn't beating around the bush...
Pubes have been an ever constant presence in the history of beauty and grooming trends of our world. The wiry coarse hairs, which have forever-protected the vulvas of women, have constantly evolved in grooming, style, and the social attitudes of what's acceptable. Throughout history, there have been eras in which women couldn't wait to see how long their gardens would grow, others stripped the area bare: hairless like sphinx cats. As it happens, self grooming wasn't always for vanity's sake. Hair removal practices have occurred throughout the ages in the name of hygiene, sex appeal, safety and religion.
Imagine if you will, Betty and Wilma, during the Cave Women era. You might assume they had bigger fish to fry than their vulva's, but not so. Neanderthals didn't have Gillete or wax salons back in the day, but they were so desperate enough to rid themselves of the hair down there, that they went to pretty desperate lengths to take it off. The evidence is on the walls. Early cave paintings show early humans plucking pubes with sharpened flint and shells which they used to actually scrape off hair. It might strike someone as an early start to vanity for our ancestors who seemingly had greater issues to worry about, but their grooming practices actually stemmed from life and death experiences. Wet pubes were a liability for early modern humans because of their ability to retain water which in cold climates would cause frostbite. Around this time women also learned to use the first depilatory creams created from quicklime, arsenic and starch.
Still in B.C., ancient Egyptians also wanted a quick fix to their pube woes. Their uprooting was more about hygiene than safety though. Ancient Greek historian Herodotus (485-425BC) noted the Egyptians habit of bathing several times a day, that "they set cleanliness above seemliness..." which was also done by shaving their bodies and going completely stark. Makes sense if you consider how hot Egypt is and how likely long hair is to collect pests and disease. Going chrome-domed was a more hygienic and safer bet against bacteria and germ plagues. They used a depilatory method known as sugaring (which is still used in wax salons around the globe) and lathered it on like butter on bread before yanking it off with a strip of cloth.
The practice of hair removal spread all the way over to Greece and Rome by the fourth century BC. The trend caught on thanks to Alexander the Great who required his soldiers to shave their heads in an attempt to combat hair pulling during battles. Depictions of people during the era reveal that the trend spread down south with women displaying zero underarm hair and zip pubic hair. During this time Romans developed the volsellae , tweezers made of metal, silver or even gold. Romans would rush to spas kind of like we do today to get volsellae professionals to take out their pubes.
The Middle Ages were for good gardening and thick carpets. While Queen Catherine de Medici, of France (1547 - 1589) got picky with her ladies in waiting about pube practices (which stemmed from religious beliefs) and demanded that they keep theirs full, Queen Elizabeth's shaved back her hairline and eyebrows sparking a trend across England that was topped off with a full bush. A close look at painting sfrom the the Renaissance, however, proves plenty of woman were modeling the sphinx look back in the day.
The Merkin, or pubic wig, was a piece originally worn by sex workers back in the 1400s who wanted to look sexy but prevent the all too uncomfortable pubic lice and hide symptoms of STDS. (Shady, amiright?)The wigs didn't make their actual hit until the Victorian era where sporting a bird's nest on the mons was considered to be the most fashionable. Something a bit cooky about this decade: it was not uncommon for members of the upper class to collect and wear pubic hair which was often given to a lover as a token of affection. A collection of short and curlies from King George IV's collection can be viewed on display at the museum of St. Andrews University in Scotland. The tresses are believed to have belonged to a possible mistress of his: Elizabeth Conyngham.
The 60's brought us a bunch of change. The moon landing, civil rights and gay rights movements, birth control, AND behold: the "bikini." A magical swimwear outfit that allowed women to strut their stuff at the beach. But with that came the term "bikini line" and women paying closer attention to the hair on their undercarriage. With the ever-so risqué bikini outfit, women got back to their roots and began pulling back the pubes. By the 60's most women were shaving, waxing or Nairing down there. The public hair on their bikini line was OUT.
During the 60s and 70s Playboy and Penthouse magazines engaged in was Hugh Hefner coined "The Pubic Wars" each striving to show more and more of the female physique. It was generally agreed that nude photographs were not pornographic unless they showed actual female pubic hair or genitals. Penthouse magazine was the first to publish a woman with hints of pubic hair. Little wisps showed from the woman in the centerfold of the magazine, and needless to say it was a huge step for pubic hair. Soon after, Playboy followed suit and Liv Lindeland became the first Playmate to appear in the magazine full frontal nude, bush and all. Women all over the U.S. followed this trend, living out that carpet life.
With widespread fear of the HIV, AIDS other STD's came the widespread movement of cleanliness and transparency "downtown" . Women starting shaving and waxing the bush again, making sure to check up on their blanket. It was more of a cautionary measure than a beauty statement to shave and take care of your undercarriage, though many shows of the 80s depicted tanned bikini wear babes like Pamela Anderson in Baywatch. Women want to take care of down there, and kept up with that waxing and shaving.
The 90s were all about the vagina, with a whole section of the play Vagina Monologues dedicated to how going hairless is just a painful and humiliating task. Playboy released scantily clad women again with more minge, this time in a more "manicured" style. It wasn't until the late 90s that the fully-nude trend with J. Sister Salon coming to the U.S. in 1987 and Gwenith Paltrow claiming the Brazilian was "life changing" It became the celebrity trend that every woman wanted. With the iconic episode of Sex In The City where Carrie gets her first full wax, the trend became even more coveted by women in the U.S. who wanted the "walking sex" look.
That's right, bring on the bush. Publications like the New York Times and the Today Show are hinting that the garden is being brought back from the dead by celebs like Jenny McCarthy, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Cameron Diaz and even famous porn stars like Naomi Campbell are keeping the garnish . It's safe to say that the bush is coming back, and there's no stopping it.
There are some stats to back this up, this past June Jama Network polled 1,870 women across the UK ages 18-30, asking one question "Do you style or groom the hair in your bikini region?" The results: 49 said yes, 51 said no. Similar to most beauty and fashion trends that we might consider bizarre, things often prove to come full circle. Whether you're growing back your garnish or keeping things close to the surface, your pubes are keeping step with history.
