also: しものけ
Colloquial term for pubic hair. Literally 'hair below'. Used in casual conversation; not a medical term.
I talked with a friend about grooming pubic hair.
He is self-conscious about having thick pubic hair.
Standard kanji spelling for the common reading したのけ.
Rare alternate reading; the same kanji form is normally read したのけ.
Compound of 下 (した, 'below') + の (possessive particle) + 毛 (け, 'hair'), literally 'hair of the lower part'. The reading しものけ uses the older combining form しも for 'lower'.
