A new survey has revealed that men are more likely to shave their pubic area using an electric razor, while women favor a manual tool.

According to a survey of more than 7,500 adults in Sexually Transmitted Infections – a specialist BMJ journal, about one in five men and women used scissors. 

Doctors from the University of California, San Francisco, led the study and found that 84 percent of women had trimmed their pubic hair before, while 66 percent of men also conceded to trimming, shaving or waxing previously.

Meanwhile, 17 percent of participants said they were extreme at hair removal, which accounted for removing all hair once a month or more, while 22 percent trimmed daily or weekly.
