2017 study into men’s grooming habits in the United States, Mohamed Hassan, founder of StyleRecap, notes that 42 percent of men shave their pubic hair monthly, while around 35 percent do so weekly.READ MORE: Men should switch from briefs to boxers if they’re trying for a baby, study claimsThirteen percent of men who participated in the study, however, said they shaved their pubic hair less than once a month.But grooming expert Hassan urges men to regularly shave their pubes, an act he calls ‘manscaping’.He says: “Shaving or trimming your pubic hair once every 1 to 4 weeks is the optimal option.
The exact frequency comes down to your personal preference and your manscaping style.”He adds that using a depilatory cream, wax, or laser hair removal could mean one needs to shave less often, and that those with sensitive skin or are at risk of ingrown hairs should limit their manscaping sessions to once a month.As a shaving tip, Hassan says: “Shave with the grain using a delicate beard trimmer or body groomer and shaving cream (wet shaving).”He also advises men with overgrown pubic hair to use scissors to “cut the hair to a suitable length that the pubic hair trimmer can handle” to minimise “tugging and pulling”.He adds: “Balls’ hair often tends to grow slower than the rest of pubic hair.
If you want hairless or clean-shaven balls, you need to do it frequently. But, if you prefer well-trimmed balls, you should shave them once a week or once every couple of weeks.“It’s worth mentioning that the hair on the shaft also grows less quickly than the hair above the penis.
