on: Is it allowed for a Jewish woman to wax/shave the pubic area?  

: It is certainly permissible for a woman to shave her pubic hair, moreover in the verses it is stated that this has always been the custom of women. So much so, that in the shulchan aruch is written, that the removal of pubic hair for men is forbidden, since it is the custom of women. It is only necessary to note that a woman who begins to shave her pubic hair from time to time, she must make sure to shave each time before she goes to the mikvah, so that the hair is not a ‘chatzitzah’.    Sources and reasoning

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
