Attempts to shave off pubic hair as a way to fight body parasites date back to cavemen days. Sharpened stones were used for that purpose.

Ancient Egyptians considered having pubic hair indecent, so they invented sugaring and waxing.

In ancient Rome, a hairless pubis was indicative of belonging to a high stratum of society.

Pumis, tweezers, and a special depilatory cream consisting of resin, goat bile, viper venom powder, and bat blood were used to achieve smoothness. Pubic hair trimming was not in fashion in Europe until the later 1900s.

In America, the seven J. sisters opened the first waxing salon in 1987. The technique gained popularity and is referred to as Brazilian waxing.
