Shaving... Im starting a new trend

My new trend...

hairy legs are sexy...

For some reason I HATE shaving my legs... Today I had a shower and I change my mind from wearing a skirt to wearing pants, just so i didn't have to shave my legs.. I dont mind doing my arm pits but my legs I hate doing!!

Am I the only one!?

Oh hell no....shaving sucks. I rock hairy legs, pits, and girl parts almost always. Sometimes I feel like doing it and it's kinda fun. But other than that you'll find me all kinds of hairy.

Shaving... Im starting a new trend

I hate shaving anything, and I only will for special occasions. Other then that, I just can't be bothered to. I don't have the time to deal with shaving every other day, the energy to deal with itchy stubble.

However, I do shave my arms. I like having super soft bare arms because I like the way it feels, but other then that, nuh uh. My legs are like forests right now.

Shaving... Im starting a new trend

Im pregannt, and really fat. I hate shaving my legs, because its a whole acrobatic feat to be able to do that. Ive given up on shaving my pubic hair all together, and told SO, if he wants it shaved, he can shave it himself. I shave my underarms though, and its soo quick, that i barely even realize im doing it, until after.

I cant rock hairy legs though. It just FEELS unclean....Im not saying that it is unclean, i just dont feel fully showered, unless i have nice soft legs. I hate going to scratch my leg, and feeling stubble. In the winter, on the other hand, i dont shave that often. I live in ontario...i need the hair to keep me warm!!!!

Shaving... Im starting a new trend

I shave my pits because it gets really smelly in mine if I dont and it doesnt take much time. I shave my legs when I feel like it, about once a month. I never shave my pubes because it takes way too long and I always get it to look weird, plus I don't really care what my pubes look like. For me its a laziness issue, I am not making a statement except for "I am too lazy to shave!" :D For special occasions where my legs will be visible I do shave tho.

I shave everything except my arms, but I'm usually lazy about it. I've gotten quite comfortable with hairy legs in public, so I only shave them when they get overly itchy (like they are right now!). I shave my underarms more often because I sweat a lot, and my yoni because I looove me a smooth yoni.

I've noticed quite a few women staring at my legs on the bus lately, and I usually snicker about it. Who cares?

Shaving... Im starting a new trend

My legs I only shave when they'll be showing in public which is hardly ever. It doesn't bother me if they're hairy, and I'm working on the courage to say who cares about the other people. My armpits and pubes, I don't like them getting long, but I don't like itchy from shaving either, so I cut them short with a beard trimmer. I cannot stand having long pubic hair. When it gets longish it starts to hurt a bit, as if my clothes are pulling it. I have to keep it short to be comfortable. I don't touch my arm hair.

Shaving... Im starting a new trend

I shave my legs maybe once a month. I'm not sure what it is about the legs, but i shave my armpits, my arms, and my vag hair on a regular basis. But not the leg hair. BD shaves his face about every 3 days and it gets REALLY bad. So he tells me "i'll shave when you shave" that wouldn't have any effect on me if i didn't HATE kissing him when he hasn't shaven. It just hurts SO bad! But anyone. No you are not alone. I don't even shave my legs either. Sometimes i'll shave parts of my legs, like my ankles, or up to my thighs?? i don't know why?? But now that it's cold i have any excuse, It's my fur to keep me warm!

I shave my legs more often in the summer but in the winter/fall I like the extra warmth :D I'll only shave then if I plan on wearing a skirt or if it finally bugs me.

I'm hairy.

I rarely shave my legs, crotch, the dark hair on my stomach, the darker hair on my chest.

I shave my pits because I smell more with hair there.
I pluck hairs out of my upper lip and chin and neck becasue I am really not comfortable feeling like a bearded lady.

I believe more power to you if you can happily go without shaving!

Me? I feel so unclean if im hairy. Doesnt mean I think people who dont shave are unclean tho! Its just me personal *issues* lol

I shave my pubes, legs, pits, arms, occasionaly the belly hair that ive only aquired since being put on bc pills :roll:

Im not as uptight about it as I used to be. I can go 1-2 days without shaving my arms...thats really big for me :oops: :lol:

I shave twice a year. And, then, my pits and legs. Otherwise, nothing.

It's so much easyer to deal with!

Shaving... Im starting a new trend

well, I shave my legs religiously....I LOVE the smooth feeling! I also do my armpits becuase stubble/hair there drives me nuts...

I used to do simple landscaping around the pubic region, but now, I shave most of it..but only when I'm gonna see Seff.....I mean, if no one importiant's gonna see my hard work, why work hard?..oh...and it gives me time to heal because no matter how careful I am, it always hurts like a bitch when that teeny stubble grows in the next day.

I often leave my legs for a week or two because I actually dont have much hair on them anyway, and sometimes I actually just cant be bothered doing them. BD doesn't seem to notice either way, and it doesn't bother me, so I only do them when I feel like it.

I shave my legs and gina (that's what Teryn calls it) like every other week, or just whenever i feel like it.
I shave under my arms like every few days...i have to b/c they're sensitive and if i don't they get scratchy and really red and painful.

Shaving... Im starting a new trend

I used to shave everything. EVERYthing! I used to get brazilian waxes! They were great, I still like it, but I don't do it anymore. The first time I was with my exboyfriend from Honduras, my yoni was all nice and smooth, and he went to go down and TOTALLY flipped out! He couldn't figure out if maybe something was wrong with me. Since he didn't speak much english, and I didn't speak much spanish, I had to get up, go to the bathroom and show him the razor. Since then, I don't touch that area except to trim it.

My legs get shaved once a month if they're lucky. Usually not even that. It's been so crazy this year, I've gone to the BEACH with hairy legs!! I love it. I try to shave before I wear a skirt to work, but that hasn't happened in a loooooong time...

I hear ya....I rarely shave my legs. I love going to the beach and "petting" my legs lol. My sister ( whom I live with ) thinks it's nasty, but whatever, they're my legs.
Although, I broke up with my bf a few days ago and I shaved EVERYTHING. Whenever something changes in my life, I NEED to cut my hair. But this time, I didn't have a mirror ( just moved ), so I just gave her with the razor. Legs, pits, feet ( yeah I have hairy feet ), vag, the whole meal deal. I think it was a big mistake, it's getting pretttttty itchy in the crotchal region lol.

Shaving... Im starting a new trend

i shave my legs when they become unbearably long, my arms i'm a little pickier on cuz i like them to be silky smooth. the pits i have to shave or else i sweat like a bazillion times more. i used to trim the old pubes but now with the prego body i can't even see down there, so i don't mess with 'em too much, a little trim every now and then when they get long..

I haven't shaved my legs since my third month of pregnancy. She is now six months old...
I always (almost anyway) shave my pits because it takes 2.5 seconds to do.
I'll trim down there in December when I see my boyfriend. :wink:
