    TLDR Modern beauty standards encourage women to remove pubic hair for aesthetic and social reasons.
    The study demonstrated that the removal of female pubic hair, a common practice in the early 21st century, resulted from changes in fashion and marketing strategies by manufacturers of hair removal products. It explored historical precedents, cultural practices, and contemporary reasons for this trend. The conclusion was that the modern female beauty ideal involved body modification to achieve smooth, hairless skin, which society viewed as normative for aesthetic, hygienic, erotic, and self-image reasons.
