Boys testicles aged 6 - should they have hairs?

[adelicatequestion]

I have just noticed that DS who's 6 has soft hairs on his testicles. They are noticible but I would describe them as bum fluff not pubic.

Is this normal? I've never noticed them on his brother.

what are you going to do if it isn't normal - start waxing him?
I really don't think this is something to worry about.

How closely are you looking?

[overtherainbow]

yes this is quite normal - my DS aged 7 has them!

[weebleswobble]

lol at waxing!

I can't say I noticed on my dcs. I'm sure it's perfectly normal

[WendyWeber]

Honestly I never got close enough to my boys' testicles to notice!

And testicles as such are hairless anyway, aren't they? I mean the hairs are on the bits round about, aren't they?

[weebleswobble]

I can't believe I'm sitting here thinking about whether testicles are hairy

[adelicatequestion]

Thanks! I don;t get that close normally, but I just noticed them after a bath one night and there are loads!

Waxing yuck and this a boy who squeals when he gets a scratch on him. Waxing would bring the house down. I know it's bad enough when I have my legs done LOL.

It was a genuine question. He has been ill lately with lumps in his neck and |i thought it might be indicative of something else going on. Took him to the drs and he says the lumps in his neck are normal.

DS is just 8 and he has very light downy hairs on his!

My son has very light fluff all over him including his testicles. I think its normal he has always had it and he is 4.5 now.
