I'm positive I've said this before but it bears repeating
People that say body hair isn't a hygiene problem clearly haven't met me! 😤
I'm currently like...2 months post wax? And funky as hell!!!
And it's not like I'm showering less often, or less thoroughly.
And I've checked and it's never a Vagina™ issue, like nothing coming out of me smells. It's just the vulva! The skin where the hair grows! Like having hairy pits and not wearing deodorant I guess. (Though I do use Lume when I'm gonna be out and about and around people.)
I remember I started a funk tracker in my bullet journal this year and I had nothing but "normal" every day until I hit late March and April (no longer fucking, so no longer getting waxes) and suddenly, my lil pixel chart is filled with other colors indicating various levels of funk lmao
Same is true for my armpits! Like it seems like my body hair in particular just holds onto funk more than other ppl's.
I know I heard/read somewhere that having body hair increases the surface area where bacteria can grow and get stinky, so that makes sense.
