Ahem. When it comes to shaving your pubic area, it is completely up to personal preference and no-one, we repeat no-one, should ever make you feel bad for your choice to go bare or bush.

However, one doctor has shared some info about our bum hair that might make you think twice about shaving your rear.

Dr Karan Raj took to TikTok to explain to his 5.1 million followers that the hair down there actually has a purpose.

He says: “The perianal skin which contains hair follicles also contains apocrine (tiết rụng đầu) glands, which secrete (tiết ra) an oily substance.

“Now, your bum can trap these oil secretions to keep your crack nicely lubricated.”

This lubrication, he explains, can help reduce irritation (ngứa ngáy) and rashes by easing the friction when your bum cheeks rub against each other – so if you’re wondering why you get an itchy butt post-shaving, there’s your answer.

It’s not just skin-level however. “These oils also feed the good bacteria around your derriere (mông đít),” Dr Raj adds.
