Alison Brie

The star of Netflix'sGlowhad to contend with some seriously high cut silhouettes for her role as a wrestler in the '80s-era show, andin an interviewwithEntertainment Weekly,Brie noted how tough it was to keep her bikini line clean for the job: "I think during that era they must have been shaving, or were they just pushing all their pubic hair in the center? There are some nude scenes on the show and I'd say, well you'll have to put a merkin on me— that's a pubic hair wig —'cause if we see full body…I'm working with something that will look good in our costume."

Ashley Graham,forever a championof owning your body and your choices, recentlyappeared inGlamourand had the best response when a reader asked the question, "Am I the only single woman with a bush?" Her answer? "Honey, I have a full bush. Period. It's about your preference and your partner's preference." Couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Gaby Hoffman

Gaby Hoffman has filmed many scenes for Amazon'sTransparentwhere her full-and-proud lady bush is on open display. After fielding questions about her choice to go unwaxed for the scenes, she very eloquently set the record straight to U.K.'sEvening Standard. She said,"I'm a human, I have hair…when people want me to talk about whether I think the bush is back, and whether that's great for feminism, I'm like, 'You know what's great for feminism? Respecting everybody's own choice.'" Amen, sister.

Seth Rogen

Seth Rogen—yes, really—went on the record onLate Night with Conan O'Brienabout his pubic hair after posing forPlayboy,where he joked about his fluctuations in manscaping. He said, "It's been a lifelong battle for me personally. I used to trim them and they would grow back thicker, so where I'm at now with it is I let them grow out then I put them in a bun." Trendy!

Khloé Kardashian

Never one to sugarcoat things, Khloé Kardashian revealed all her thoughts about pubic hair. "I'm all about the landing strip," she explained on her app. "I like to be clean; I like to be manicured. When there's nothing there, it's weird, in my opinion—especially when you have tit* and an ass. It just freaks me out a little bit. I don't like looking at an adult woman and seeing nothing down there. Whenever I'm at the spa, it just makes me uncomfortable when I see that. But then again, it also makes me uncomfortable when I see something wild and untamed."

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and we concur, especially when it comes to Miley Cyrus'now-infamous snap, in which she shows off hot pink underarm hair, as well as what appears to be a full-grown bush peeking out of her underwear. "Can't be tamed," indeed.

Hoda Kotb

Kotb—a landing strip gal herself—is a firm believer that your pubic hair grooming method is very telling about your personality: "If you have a landing strip, you're the kind of girl who never has to pay for date, you only wear a thong, and you'll attempt things you know you're gonna be successful at," she said during a taping ofKathy Lee and Hoda.

"Now, if you do bald, and there are people who do, you never do anything halfway, your dishwasher's perfect, you're OCD...everything's in line. And if you don't do a thing down there, you probably don't own a flat iron...you sing Joni Mitchell in the shower, and you order your steaks plain."

Jennifer Lopez

J.Lo agrees, bikini waxes are not for everyone. "I don't love waxing," she toldAllure. "I just don't like everybody...up in the business, you know what I mean? I shave everywhere; the only thing I wax is my eyebrows. It's torture plucking the hairs out one by one."

Gwyneth Paltrow

When Paltrow hit a red carpet showing offmajor side-butt in 2013, it sparked conversation about her pubic hair, or rather lack thereof. Paltrow set the record straight confessing that while she was going bare duringthatappearance, she's not typically one for a manicured look. "Well, let's just say everyone went scrambling for a razor," she toldEllen Degeneres. "I work a '70s vibe. You know what I mean?" All too well, Gwynnie.

Jenny McCarthy

During aPlayboycover shoot, McCarthy shocked the set with her full-on bush. "All of a sudden I hear 'Whoa, whoa!' And I said, 'Is there anything on it? What's wrong?'" McCarthy toldOprah. "They said they never saw anyone as hairy as you in their entire life!"

Cameron Diaz

As the author ofThe Body Book, Diaz has some serious food for thought when it comes to permanent hair removal. "Women undergoing laser hair removal on all of their lady bits," she writes. "Personally, I think permanent laser hair removal sounds like a crazy idea. Also, let's be honest: just like every other part of your body, your labia major is not immune to gravity. Do you really want a hairless vagin* for the rest of your life? It's a personal decision, but I'm just putting it out there: Consider leaving your vagin* fully dressed, ladies." We're going to need a minute...

Kate Winslet

Winslet has been such a dedicated waxer through the years, it once required her to go the faux route for a role. "I had to grow the hair down there,"she toldAllure. "But because of years of waxing, as all of us girls know, it doesn't come back quite the way it used to. They even made me a merkin—a wig—because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough."
