What Is A Merkin?

A merkin is a pubic hair wig first worn by prostitutes (in 1699) who shaved their pubic hair to prevent lice infestations. However, it shortly became popular for the upper class women to shave and wear a merkin.

Merkins are also used in film production to prevent flashing of the genitals during scenes where the actors are naked. An enterprising young woman in the Netherlands has created a line of merkins for men and women. You can see them at http://www.pubictoupees.com/

If you don't want to go to the expense or trouble of wearing a merkin then consider using stencils to create a beautiful design with your pubic hair. Your partner will be thrilled and you don't have to go totally bald if you don't want to.

You can get stencils and other pubic hair grooming products at Hair Care Down There.
