Pubic hair removal is not a new practice among women. In fact, we have reason to believe that women have been removing at least some of their hair “down there” since the time of the ancient Greeks and Egyptians.

But is this really the case? Check out the infographic below for a reality check on modern women’s pubic hair removal practices.
