Bristol students have been getting down to discussing the details of their pubic hair.

Female students at the University of Bristol were taken aback when student-run television station UBTV asked them to talk publicly about how they care for their hair down there. 

Pubic hair is still a taboo, but an important and necessary discussion to be had as it plays a significant part in terms of women’s sexual self-confidence.

The moral of the story? Anything goes.

“I usually go for a nice, neat little landing strip”

“Everything off”
