CARE OF THE VAGINA: Leave your pubic hair alone

She wore the mask of shame, her head bowed like one in the confessional, reciting 'the act of contrition' or like a culprit, standing in the dock and waiting for her sentence from a judge who had scolded her during a cross examination. She became motionless as though confused. Her hands shielding her pubic region as the attention of other ladies was drawn to it by Olanma.
Olanma is a crazy jovial lady, loquacious and most times troublesome but her intelligence got her an excellent degree qualification in her academics.
It was the first morning of the NYSC orientation camp, she had come to take her bath in the common bathroom for the ladies, her eyes rolling to and fro to feed her brain with some info. Then she saw Funmi with a rich pubic hair and at once screamed, 'lekwenu aji ooo' (see hair) and kept starring at her while winking her eyes at Funmi each time their eyes met. Funmi became uneasy, took her bath in a rush and zoomed off amidst the 'yabbing' (jest) oozing out between Olanma's thick lips.
Later in the day they crossed each others path at the parade ground and Olanma called her "Aji Nwanyi" (hairy lady). She was infuriated when her friend Ifeoma gave her the interpretation of the vernacular. Funmi preoccupied her thoughts with the chances of meeting Olanma again in the bathroom subsequently and the possible drama that will play out, so she went for a shaving stick and made the natural vegetation become a desert. She is itching with rash in her pudendum (external genitalia) which greatly discomforts her.

IMPORTANCE OF THE PUBIC HAIR

Have you ever wondered why hairs grow around the pubic area? Some say it is fashionable to shave it off and others see it as a form of personal hygiene but let me share some thoughts with you.

ATTRACTION: Hairs add to the beauty of a woman. It is to a lady what the garden is to a house.  It arouses the curiosity of the opposite sex by concealing the anatomy of the vulva. Curiosity fuels adventure (attraction)
Its also said that the apocrine glands of the pubic region produces sexual attractant called pheromone. This is trapped by the pubic hair.

PROTECTION: it has a cushioning effect and protects from mechanical injuries like abrasion from clothing and even during sexual activity. The pubic hair keeps the pant from direct contact with the vulva and by trapping both macroorganisms like insect and microorganisms like bacteria and fungi it reduces the risk of vulvovaginitis. The increased risk of HIV transmission in sharing sharps including shaving sticks is undeniable.

COMFORT: it keeps your vulva warm and helps u enjoy sex.
Its adviced you trim the hair than shave it off.
