Self conscious about down there?

I’m super self conscious about smell/taste and hair down there. My boyfriend has said a couple things about it off hand about me down there but he didn’t say it maliciously! Just as a guy noting observations. I don’t wanna tell him that the 1-2 times he said something made me super self conscious, but how do I get over it? He says he still wants to go down on me to give me pleasure but I can’t help but think about all that! But of course as a guy he’s confused as to why I’m self conscious...

“ I didn’t realize how strong/different the smell would be. It just caught me off guard”

“ if you shaved down there it may be a bit cleaner. Not germ wise, but just easier for me to go down on you”

Help?! Any advice on anything?

Also what’s your preferred shaving style down there?
