Pubic Hairstyles – 9 Styles to Choose From

As we covered previously, there are plenty of ways to tidy your intimate area. It’s important to use the right, hygienic tools so little nicks or cuts don’t get infected - which nobody wants.

You’ll need scissors or an electric trimmer (non-rotary), a razor, shaving foam (ideally for intimate areas), and women can also use depilatory products if they prefer.

Use a trimmer or scissors to shorten pubic hair first (razors aren’t ideal for long hair), then apply foam for a smoother, irritation-free shave.

So how should you style your “bush”?

Natural style

Option one: leave it as it is. This works for men and women. Trends come and go, and while the beauty world often pushes intimate shaving, you don’t have to follow it. The natural look is still in. Lots of people prefer a natural bush to a styled one. The trade-off is swimwear - full bushes can peek out of bikinis or speedos.

The neat bush

If a completely natural look isn’t your thing, try a “neat bush.” Lightly trim the edges, tidy the shape, and maybe shorten the length a little. You’ll look groomed without going bare.

Bikini style

Popular with women, this focuses on making sure nothing shows outside your bikini. First, trim evenly, then shave the hair in the crease of the legs so nothing peeks out of bikinis, thongs, shorts, or lingerie. You can wax those creases instead of shaving if that’s easier.

Create a special shape

Custom shapes take more time, practice, and experimentation to find what suits you. The idea is to remove everything to the skin except a sexy, playful shape - think a small heart or triangle, or something bolder like a lightning bolt or arrows. Trim first, then shave or wax the areas you want bare.

Landing strip

The landing strip is a favorite - especially for women - and easy to do. Trim all over, then shave most of the hair, leaving a thin vertical line directly above the genitals. It’s provocative yet still keeps a touch of natural femininity, showing your partner you made an effort.

Brazilian

Another popular option seen in adult films: remove everything. Shorten with an epilator or trimmer first, then shave or wax completely. Works for men and women.

Lion’s mane

A popular men’s style that can make you look more endowed. Remove hair from the scrotum and base of the penis but keep the rest. You can shape the upper area into a crescent above the shaft.

Arrow

An easy, masculine alternative to the landing strip. Leave a tidy equilateral triangle pointing down above the genitals and shave everything else smooth.

Vajazzle

“Vajazzle” is the term for decorating your intimate area. It can mean adding colorful rhinestones, faux diamonds, crystals, glitter, or temporary tattoos - or even dyeing the hair a bold color - for extra sparkle.
