(30,048 posts)I hope she outgrows that stage and learns to live with what she has. It would be different if she were very hairy and it was noticeable in a modest swimsuit. In that case, she might feel uncomfortable and I would help her trim it a bit.( I wouldn't want her to be uncomfortable for something that could be easily corrected in front of her classmates.) But in her case, it's in a place that no one at her age should see. Same with if she were still competitively swimming-I might consider helping her and even then I'd feel uncomfortable with the decision at that age, letting her know that it's ok to wait a few more years. (I might even just tell her that I'd prefer she waited until she reached the age where the stakes are very high before we discussed it.)
It's something she can wait for. Hopefully, she'll realize that it's not so bad when she's older and that, as long as she uses good hygiene, it's not "gross and disgusting" but instead quite natural.
