How often do you shave your legs?

[Kitty]

I feel like this is kind of gross, but I rarely shave my legs and I wear skirts ALL THE TIME. My hair is blonde on my legs, and you can't really see it even when its totally grown out unless you look closely - I sometimes get self-conscious though. The thing is, I am really just lazy and hate taking the extra 5 minutes in the shower each morning. does everyone else shave daily?

[Tayl405]

I shave daily--usually just the bottom part though. I hate when it's all prickly.

[shimmer728]

I shave daily when it's this kind of weather, because I'm wearing a lot of skirts and my legs are bare. In the winter, it's only on the weekends.

[paiger81]

During the winter months I do not shave my legs at all, unless I know Kirk will be around :green: During the summer I shave every week.

As for under arms I shave every 3-4 days.

Yeah, I think I'm about once a week too...but it could be longer.

I don't have hair under my arms - its really weird. I also have NO hair on my arms. NONE. I'm like an alien.

[Tayl405]

I wish I didn't have hair under my arms! It grows so fast I have to shave daily, and then it just gets irritated.

[tina1979]

Since i have no SO I don't have to worry about it, but I usually do it on the weekends minimum, but I will do it more often if I am wearing a skirt

My sis in law is all natural. she doesn't shave hers at all and her hair is not blonde.

[wordsmith]

I also have blonde hair, so it doesn't matter as much...I can get away with doing it every other day at most in bare legs season. But usually, not more than once a week. It seriously doesn't show. Of course, if there's a chance of somebody touching them, I'm shaving. ;)

[pisces2473]

Funny--I'm debating whether or not to go get my legs waxed--it's been a month since I've shaved, so it's pretty much ready. Usually I only do it on weekends. But with Chris laid up...

I have to do my underarms daily or every other day. It grows fast. And I have darker hair.

[paiger81]

I could go longer, too, my hair is really fine so it's not very noticeable.

My mom only has hair on her knees. That's it. It's really wierd.

Don't forget, Jen...unshorn legs are more noticeable in assless chaps.

Sorry Kitty but even if you have blonde hair- those blonde hair REALLY stand out in the sun so yes take those 5 minutes and shave urself.

I wax my legs every 2-3 weeks. Usually I shave in the winter on the as-needed basis but come summer I wax everything- stomach,back, chest, legs, arms.

LOL......that's the ONLY reason I shave during the winter. If I didn't have a boyfriend, I'd say the hell with it.

[biodork]

Ok I'm the worst of all, I usually go at least 2 weeks without shaving (maybe less over the summer) because I wear pants all year. And the reason I'm the worst is because I LIVE with my SO lol. He doesn't care too much. Plus (since I have libido issues) it keeps him sorta away when I start wearing shorts to bed. :rolleyes:

[megrocks]

Once a month, maybe twice a month in the summer. My hair is light, but not blond. It is very thin and spaced out and I have a few bare patches. I'm just not that hairy. I remember the first time a guy rubbed my legs when they hadn't been just shaved I was really worried, but he never said anything. My mom lost all of her leg hair when she was in her mid thirties. I hope I will as well.

[pisces2473]

You know, you're right. I better have the entire leg waxed. I was just gonna have half leg waxing done. The upper leg doesn't have much hair and it's BLONDE there. WTF? Why is my upper leg blonde and my lower leg dark???

[pisces2473]

And I'm very hairy, so in the summer, I have to shave every other day...or every 3 days. Ugh.

Well hell, I'm just a hair ball then. :(

Alase is my dream....someday....

PS Coochy is good for shaving your legs too! I think it's a waste though for that, best for the bikini zone

Damn girl, are they giving you kickbacks for promoting their product?

[biodork]

I should write them about it...and try and get a bunch free samples to "advertise" further. "No, no, I don't want to sell your other sex toys/products, only the Coochy. Thanks." And then I can have a nice supply of my own (and anyone who wants to be sent one can get one for free from me!) It sucks to pay shipping for a little bottle.

[tina1979]

I was just thinking the same thing....

Reminds me of that rap song at the end he says something about I want to thank Seagrams cause I drink it and they payin me for it. :rolleyes:

[stonemonkey]

Haha, I don't shave my legs.....I wax them.

[cornflakegirl]

i go awhile without shaving. currently i shave right before i see deadend. so once a month. honestly, i don't care that much to make it a priority. i don't shave much at all in the winters & when i was in sf, it was so cool in the summer that i didn't shave much then either. i shave under arms when i am going to wear something sleeveless. i really don't worry about it much & i have dark hair.

[midtwenty]

I only shave in winter when it reaches the point that I just can't stand it anymore. In the summer I shave every couple of days, though, because we have a pool and spend every moment not at work either lying around it or in it. Smooth legs feel better in the water.

[wordsmith]

When I don't shave, my legs itch, so it's more a comfort thing than an aesthetic thing.

[kimmer23]

i guess i am a shaving nut or something!

during winter i shave my armpits everyday (it grows so fast) and in the summer as well. with my legs i shave them every other day both summer and winter. i normally wear skirts and boots with no panty hose in the winter, so i dont wanna be all hairy. and i also shave my bikini area every other day (the day i dont shave my legs!)

i am pretty hairless i guess you could say!

[Angyl]

awww....i feel unlucky.

Asian people have to shave all the time, our hair is super-noticable :sad:

I have to do it every day. I practically worship the people that invented the Intuition razor. It's great.

[Winter Storm]

...but I'm one of those naturally hairless people. The hair on my legs is so fine that I can go a month without shaving and get this...I never grew underarm hair. People are shocked when I say that, but I don't have more than maybe 4 strands under there. It never grew in.

On the downside, I have very thin hair and eyebrows which is probably heriditary and I've probaby have no hair by the time I'm 60. I envy people with thick hair and full brows.

[capella]

I envy people with thick hair and full brows.
Pleh! having thick hair sucks. First, I have to shave all the time. I get a five o clock shadow on my freakin' legs. Grrr. Second, thick straight hair does nothing! Nothing. I mean no curl, no updos, nothing. It sucks. Third, full brows really suck too. Until I got my husband to do the plucking for me (heh, isn't he wonderful?) I totally let them go wild. Not like Frieda unibrow wild but like crazy mad scientist wild. :razz:

heh, I just edited my to... to too... I guess you can't take the copy editor out of me. :rolleyes:

[dazed]

really? i thought east asians were pretty hairless but asian indians were pretty hairy. i have a few east asian friends and they're so lucky...they only shave once a week if that, whereas i have to shave every other day. it grows so fast.

[shimmer728]

I do shave my underarms every day. Also......down there. ;)

[and1grad]

Girls are Ironing their hair these days. Thick straight hair is exactly what's in style.

That's because you don't have to rush to be at work in the morning! Well, you didn't when you worked from home, I mean.

[NoWomanNoCry]

I have really thin, light hair too, and could go a long time without shaving. But for some reason I shave every day - legs, under arms and bikini area - entirely. It's just easier that way.

[mishl982]

My turn!

Since I'm without a man, I can go like 3 weeks without shaving. I have pretty fine hair and even though it's dark, you barely notice it (yay for being tan). Now that it's getting nicer out I shave once, maybe twice a week.
...but I'm one of those naturally hairless people. The hair on my legs is so fine that I can go a month without shaving and get this...I never grew underarm hair. Damn, girl. First no periods, now no hair? I'm so jealous!
Asian people have to shave all the time, our hair is super-noticable Ha! Not me! Actually Asian people can get away with never having to shave. My parents yelled at me when I was younger when they found out I shaved. Apparently I started a cycle of always having to shave!
Damn girl, are they giving you kickbacks for promoting their product? Hehe and that's why I made her change her user title to what it is now :)

[and1grad]

This thread reminds me of those commercials where somebody says even a caveman can do it, and the camera goes to a caveman who says "how condescending" or something like that.

Not that i'm sayin u ladies are hairy cavemen. :neutral:

[Kitty]

So I thought you would all be thrilled to know that I shaved my legs this morning.

It was a sloppy job.

[blueyes]

Since I swam in HS, I was neurotic about shaving b/c of all the myths about the drag your body hair could create. I shaved all the shave-able parts every day. I even knew this one guy who made States who shaved his whole body. He made a party out of it; I helped.

[natbumpo]

Only when my girlfriend asks REALLY nicely :)

[Angyl]

Ha! Not me! Actually Asian people can get away with never having to shave. My parents yelled at me when I was younger when they found out I shaved. Apparently I started a cycle of always having to shave!


Man, I suck. My hair is all coarse and thick and nasty. It's pretty on my head, but no where else. Boo.

[paiger81]

You know what's funny?
There have been a few times when I forgot to shave, yet still went out with Kirk. He would try to rub my legs and I'd freak out saying "Don't Touch, I'm hairy!!" He'd always lift up his pant leg and say, "No, I'm hairy, your legs look nothing like mine"

[asm198]

I shave more often in the summer because I might want to wear shorts, but I don't shave nearly as much as I probably should. I don't have light hair, so it's very easy to see, but I don't care enough to shave every day. Maybe once a week? Except for my underarms. They are shaved every other day.

I do shave if I have a date. Because you never know. :huge:

[cornflakegirl]

there have been a few times that i hadn't shaved my legs or bikini area in a really long time (we are talking about a few months & the better part of a year) & happened to hook up with guys. didn't stop them at all.

i guess for some people wearing old, unattractive underwear or not shaving could be their method of keeping their pants on a first or second date, but i don't play like that.

Yeah, I've never had a guy turn down a hook up with me because I wasn't 'prepared'. But I like having the routine of shaving and all that when I am getting ready to go out and have fun. It gives me more confidence and makes me feel more girly. I did it when I was single and I still do it when I'm having a date night with my boyfriend.

[mishl982]

Girl Scouts taught me to "always be prepared." ;)

[pisces2473]

Hehehe, I'm getting my legs waxed on Thursday.

[Angyl]

^ is waxing worth it? I had my eyebrows waxed once and I thought, "cool, but $15? Not for my eyebrows." I hate shaving every day though. However, it does give me things to do in the shower. I think I should have been a man, I have no idea what I could do in the shower for hlaf an hour. 5 minutes, and I'm out.

[pisces2473]

I will find out. This is the first time I've had them waxed. I like my eyebrows waxed because it looks clean/neat. It's good that you take quick showers, it saves water.

[biodork]

^ is waxing worth it? I had my eyebrows waxed once and I thought, "cool, but $15? Not for my eyebrows."

For me? YES! I just say NO to unibrows. ;) Otherwise I'd spend an hour plucking. And I'd rather have one solid pain really quickly rather than a hundred little pains! I don't pluck at all now-I get it waxed, and then let it ALL grow back in and then wax again. I think I go a month and a half before it all grows back.

[pisces2473]

The in-between stage is horrible w/ eyebrows. But what I've done is cut the hairs as they grow back in so it's not that noticeable and there's something for the wax to grab onto.

[biodork]

I hate the in-between stage! I always feel so dirty then.

[pisces2473]

YES!!!! I feel like stuff is gonna get stuck in the brow stubble!

[biodork]

lol! Why can't the hair just figure out that it's not wanted!!! hehe

[J-girl]

Dont you guys have any threading places in your respective towns/cities? Threading is so much better for eyebrows!

[MetFanL]

i guess for some people wearing old, unattractive underwear or not shaving could be their method of keeping their pants on a first or second date, but i don't play like that.

I totally do this. It keeps me in check.

[biodork]

What's threading?

[mishl982]

I know threading is available out here, but it's not as popular as waxing so most places don't offer it. Plus threading hurts too! I think I'm used to the pain of waxing my brows - I think it's become numb.

[mishl982]

What's threading?
They use like 2 threads that kind cross over your hair, pulling it out. Something like that.

[biodork]

heh ok...yeah no thanks! waxing is good enough for me! The place I go to uses a dif type of wax for facial waxing, makes me less red afterwards than the regular stuff (but im so sensitive that i still get really pink for the next day!)

[pisces2473]

Um, the area where I live is not the most cosmopolitan. I'm lucky we have a day spa.

[J-girl]

Yeah IT KILLS! But it helps shape my eyebrows better and its a LOT cheaper so I prefer threading.

Is it sugar or cold wax? Also do they apply any type of lotion or gel afterwards? I know those help, and I love the cooling feeling I get when the esthetician applies it. Also once I had this weird buzzy machine thing that they rubbed over the waxed areas and that was supposed to help with the redness.

[J-girl]

Has anyone tried this pink wax they use for bikini area. They dont use strips for it. They just apply the pink wax, let it solidify and then RRRRIPPPPPPPPP! :madder:

[biodork]

Its this pink wax. Still hot. And the only thing I get afterwards is the wax remover for any excess wax. no special things to make my eyebrows less pink :(

[mishl982]

You should look into it! I don't think I've ever been to a place that did provide some type of lotion. One place even put a little baby powder down before applying the wax and I think that helped with the pain too.

[lilyflower]

I don't actually shave anymore - I started using that veet stuff with the plastic razor. It works way better and I don't end up all cut. As for how often, well, maybe once a month in cold weather (hey, I don't have a boyfriend, why bother) and as much as is needed when it's skirt/short weather. Oh, and I haaaate doing any kind of hair removal in the bikini area - owwww. :(

[Angyl]

so how much does all this waxing cost you guys? I'm cheap, but my razors keep going up in price. it's ridiculous.

[shimmer728]

I must be the only one who never waxes--I tweeze my eyebrows, and shave my legs and bikini area. Seems to work. *shrugs*

[cornflakegirl]

Hehehe, I'm getting my legs waxed on Thursday.

i am gonna get mine done on saturday. it hurts like hell, but i figure it is better than shaving everyday & feeling the sting when in the ocean.

[asm198]

I tried waxing that stuff and it hurt so bad. I'd love to get a brazilian, though. I just wish I could stand the pain.

I shave everything, except my eyebrows. I pluck those.

[PenguinWriter]

I usually shave every 2-3 days.
