Dr Eden Fromberg, a New York-based holistic ob-gyn, told Voguethat "Women are becoming increasingly aware that our bodies are a lot more than the visual or sexual playthings." The best time to trim bushes and shrubs depends on when the plants flower. Most shrubs bloom in summer and benefit from late winter or early spring pruning. This is because they form flower buds on new growth, so as long as you trim them as they just begin to green up after winter, you can shape them without reducing their flower power. Pruning your shrubs is a super easy job. Believe me, if I can do it, I would say almost anyone can.

Plus, it is another bush that is pretty easily cared for. You just trim up the dead blooms when they are done blooming. So I want to share with you the tips I’ve learned along the way of this landscaping journey. Hopefully, it will help you grow more confident in your own trimming experiences.

When the shrubs are on their way to dormancy, I have a tendency to get a little too happy with my hedge trimmers. The next step is to be sure that you have the right tools for the job. I use both hedge clippers and pruning shears. I think the landing strip is the best option if you want to be able to wear any swimsuit without showing off your pubic hair. And if you don’t mind a little bit of pain or cost to get the right look. The Brazilian or bikini wax became popular during the next two decades, and only a landing strip was left on the labia area. In the 2000s, being as smooth as a baby's bottom down there became so popular, thanks to Hollywood. So if you never go swimming, you are on a tight budget, or you are very busy, natural pubic hair may be the way to go. Many women let their pubic hair (along with their leg hair) grow out during the winter, when they aren’t wearing anything revealing in public. It probably keeps you a little bit warmer too!

Go faux-natural. This is a good choice if you're just looking for some basic upkeep.. Simply trim the hair evenly, leaving it in its current shape. The length is somewhat up to you, but you will be limited by how close to the skin you can get.

Cleanse Gently—But Not Too Much

Whether you’re shaving it all or just shaping it up, start with clean skin to avoid bacteria-causing bumps. Wash your pubic region thoroughly with soap and water in the bath or shower. Soak or steam for at least five minutes to allow your skin to soften and your hair to expand. Exfoliate Most gardeners prune away dead branches to ensure the health of the tree or shrub, as dead or damaged branches can draw energy away from the healthy ones. However, there’s another reason to trim off dead branches, and that’s to keep them from becoming dangerous airborne projectiles during high-wind events, such as hurricanes or tornadoes. Cutting hedges with dull blades can damage branches, creating tears that lead to disease. Sharpen your pruning shears to ensure the smoothest cuts, and keep them clean to avoid transmitting infection from a diseased shrub to a healthy one.
