About grooming my V-line and I-line

Maezawa from the President’s Office here. > Do you think papas assume that a woman is “professional” if she has no body hair? These days, I think more men don’t see it that way. Up until about five years ago, many of the women who removed their pubic hair were professionals, so when an ordinary woman did it, people often assumed she was one too. But after pubic hair removal suddenly became popular, and more and more ordinary women started going completely smooth, men who ask, “Is she a professional because she’s smooth?” would probably be mocked with something like: “What era are you living in?” It seems to have spread by word of mouth, from friend to friend. A lot of women apparently thought, “My friend did it, so I’ll do it too.” But I’m very curious about who started the trend in the first place. If it was orchestrated by a hair-removal company, they did an incredible job. Incidentally, a few years ago, permanent beard removal became popular among some of the men at our company. I watched it spread in much the same way: “I got permanent hair removal—look how smooth it is. Maybe I should do it too.” “You definitely should.” So I wondered whether women going smooth became popular in a similar way. > If you shave it awkwardly, you’ll end up with a five-o’clock shadow. Apparently, when you go for hair removal, they ask you to trim it fairly short beforehand. So you could probably just say, “I was thinking about getting it removed, so I tried shaving it, but it ended up like this,” as an excuse. > Or would it be better to leave it as it is, or just trim it short? It might feel a little prickly, but if you think that’s a reasonable compromise, you could start by doing that. If someone asks, you could say, “I was thinking about getting it removed, so I tried trimming it first.”

I’m Fuu, a column writer. I don’t think being hairless makes someone look “professional.” If anything, it gives a clean, positive impression. You see lots of ads for places like Regina for medical hair removal and Musee for salon treatments, so I think many girls get hair removal. Papa-katsu women tend to be very beauty-conscious, and around 70% of the girls I’ve met had some kind of hair removal. Even those who hadn’t had it done kept their hair well-groomed. Only a few weren’t groomed at all, so if you don’t have time to get hair removal, I think it’s fine to trim and tidy things up for now. Before going on a date, I also trim the hair down there short so it doesn’t get in the way during fellatio or when being touched.

I’m Nana Ayase ♡ I’m getting medical hair removal and have just finished my sixth session, but the hair is still growing back. I guess I should book my seventh session soon. Having pubic hair is unhygienic and can cause odors. If you want to enjoy comfortable H, I think it’s better to shave. Once you’re old enough to need caregiving, it’s better not to have any hair down there. It makes things cleaner after using the bathroom.

I’m Shingo Lee, a columnist. If it’s only a little, I don’t think you need to worry too much. Personally, I love both completely smooth and very thick hair. As for trimming it a bit, I recommend using a heated trimmer that cuts the hair by burning through it. Cutting with scissors leaves sharp ends that can feel prickly, but trimming with heat gives the ends a more natural finish while shortening the hair. It won’t change the area where the hair grows, but making it shorter should give it a neater appearance.

I’m Kazu, a male member. > If I shave it oddly, I’ll get stubble… You won’t get that blue-shadow look as long as you haven’t waited too long after shaving. > It’s too late to book an appointment now… One treatment won’t remove everything, and after the first treatment, a lot of hair that’s easy to remove will grow back. Hair removal requires visits every few months and can take more than a year to complete. > Do you think papas look more professional without body hair? I personally welcome being hairless, but I hear that many men in the papa age group think it looks more professional. > Would it be better to leave it as it is, or trim it short? If you simply cut it with scissors or something similar, the ends will feel prickly and hurt. I’d recommend using a trimmer that cuts with heat, leaving the ends rounded. In a case like the questioner’s, I think it would be best to visit a salon, have it removed with Brazilian waxing, and ask for advice at the same time.

I’m Dai, a male member. I’m not particularly into women who have absolutely no body hair. Like the person who asked the question, it can come across as too professional. That said, many of the women I meet through Universe do groom themselves. Sometimes I wonder whether more ordinary, non-professional women are removing their body hair these days than they used to. A short trim might be preferable, but it’s really a matter of personal taste, and it wouldn’t be a reason for me to end things.
