On this week's episode of Glamour’s “Work Wives," cohosts Annie Fox and Laurel Pinson delve into a candid round-table on how women approach their pubic hair (and why), joined by Kristin Meinzer (who adheres to a strict no-trim policy) and Concepcion de Leon (an avid waxer).

As it turns out, a main reason why 84 percent of women trim or wax their pubic hair is because they associate pubic hair with being unclean. While some of the podcast panelists had an issue with this—as Laurel puts it, your vagina was perfectly designed as a self-cleaning oven—it's certainly a notion that keeps women going back to their waxers for monthly visits.

Then there's the sex angle. Kristin recalled an old boyfriend who suggested she get rid of her pubic hair (it was the first and last time she went near a trimmer), while Concepcion confessed, "I’ve had people literally tell me they won’t go down on me because I haven’t waxed or shaved."

Whether you've never given bush-pruning much thought or you've tried every bush-shaping treatment in the book, it's likely you'll come away from this episode thinking differently about your own pubic hair—and the choices you make surrounding it.
