OG9O4 TIL that pubic hair wigs called merkins were worn by prostitutes in the 1450s after they shaved their pubic hair to get rid of lice and hide other STDs. At that time a full bush was a sign of health and considered sexy.
yVbje TIL about the merkin. It is a vaginal wig, originally donned by prostitutes starting in the 15th century. They shaved to minimize pubic lice but men (at the time) preferred bush and thus, the merkin was born.
