well, that depends on what season it is. Winter? Not often. I hate shaving and...what's the point? Summer? a couple times a week because of dresses & skirts! I wish i could shave "certain" areas every day, because you know, sex and things...but those are too sensitive for more than once per week. I have crazy sensitive skin and not even my legs could handle being shaved daily.0

My face every day, and I trim and shave my genital area, don't know why I'm telling you this.0

Except face,I don't shave too often. I like little bit of hair and don't want to be smooth as ladies! My pics are how I look everyday.0
-
I am OCD with my tweezers in personal areas. 10 min a day keeps things smooth.
Legs I just wax every few weeks.0 -
I have super dark curly hair and if I shave my bikini too often (more than once a week) I get so many bumps/ingrowns. (If somebody knows how to solve my problems please HELP)
Also I dont have a BF and it is always winter here so I shave armpits/legs only when needed. Half the time I forget to before gym time with OHP and I'm sure all the other ladies there have seen my hairy pits.0 -
Every other day for underarms and private area, once a week for legs.0

I never shave anything every day. If that turns you off, well then, that's just not my problem, is it, lol.0

Bikini bumps - I swear by Tend Skin - put some on a cotton round (soak it) and rub in circular motion over the area. People say that plain rubbing alcohol works the same - I disagree.0 -

Ingrowns and bumps is another reason why I am doing home laser hair removal (I posted previously). I'm not taking all bikini area hair off - because, well, I might miss it someday, but darn, I'll be glad when my actual bikini line is hair free and I stop getting ingrowns!0 -

I started after a wax one time and just never stopped. I never have to deal with the grow in stage between waxes, and it's almost therapeutic.0 -
Nair... EVERYTHING... once a week, no stubble smooth & sexy at all times i'm fair skinned no facial hair other than the eyebrows every 2 weeks... thankfully...0

Pretty much my motto
I wax my legs in the beginning of summer and then in the middle of summer when it goes back in - and that's it cause I gave up cause no one sees my legs I always wear pants

Do you think that the Nair works better for you because of your lighter hair? I always thought that you had to grow it out a little before you could use the product again, and I don't think that I could deal with that with my hair being so dark.0 -

I bought a Silk'N home hair remover + a lifetime cartridge. In two treatments, half of my underarm hair was gone - after the third, I'm down to about 10-20 stray hairs. I'm also working on my legs and bikini line. It costs $200 + $100 for the cartridge but it's SO WORTH THE MONEY!!! It works really well for me (light skin tone, dark hair - supposedly its less effective on lighter hair and is not safe for darker skin tones). I can't wait to be permanently hair free!!!
eta: results were originally understated.
Ok, at first I skimmed this because I thought it was a sales pitch. Lol.
I also have dark hair, so I know what you're talking about. I'm kind of put off by it not being safe for darker skin tones, though. Why is that? I mean, my skin is pretty light, but I have yellow undertones and tan easily. I just use a lot of sunblock because I'm a bit paranoid about skin cancer/wrinkles.
I'm just thinking that if people with darker skin tones can't safely use it, then it might be damaging to all skin in some way...

It does take that long to grow back because I've found it makes the hair lighter and over the years it's been growing in less and less. My aunt does it for me, she gets the kit at Sally's beauty which is some store near her. I love waxing cause it makes the hair grow in less unlike shaving which seems to make the hair grow in thicker
