Did I shave my legs for this?

Just curious how many other people are like me.

I have always hated shaving my legs, which my husband finds annoying.

Anyway, once I decided to get control over things I made it a personal goal to shave my legs every single day and do my hair and stuff just to make me feel good.

Its working. I have more confidence and feel better about myself just putting a little more effort into things. I even went all out and painted my toenails! So honestly, how often do you shave your legs? And am I the only one who thinks its a chore?

    I live in Chicago so during the freezing winters i need the extra fur...jk. I shave whenever I feel the lil prickles coming in, thats usually every 2 to 3 days.

    I don't shave, I wax. And that only once or twice a year.:blushing:

    I NEVER get my legs out, so don't see the need. Plus I've got very sensitive skin & any kind of hair removal causes a nastly itchy rash.

    Only when someone's gonna see them- so not that often. But I don't mind, the hair is SUPPOSED to be there, it's natural.
    I'll wear tights or jeans whenever possible. ^____^ But I'm gonna start getting into waxing cause shaving is absolutely unbearable.

    I feel the same way you do! I think I will try what you are doing too, my goal starting tomorrow is one full week of doing my hair, putting on a little make up, shaving my legs, and making an effort to not wear my pajamas all day just because I can. I always feel better when I take the time to put myself together and my confidence can certainly use a boost! thanks for the idea :)

    I am one of the lucky ones that has almost no leg hair. What little is there is so baby fine and transparent you cannot see it. I do shave about once a month just to keep things "smooth" and exfoliate but I once went a whole year without shaving and only had about 8 hairs per leg.

    I shave my legs every time I shower - always have, always will. And I live in Alaska and don't understand the whole "I need the extra fur" thing. I paint my toenails in the winter too.

    To be honest, during the winter I shave once a month (my hair color is light so even when it grows in it isn't noticeable.). During the summer its done every other day.

    I shave every single day. It's just part of my shower routine. I hate the feeling of the hair growing in and I get all itchy. I have fine, blonde hair on my legs, but I still hate it.

    I pole dance, so i sometimes don't shave often enough. I tend to moisturize after shaving, and I can't go doing that if I'm about to pole dance shortly after. haha

    I have been known to go the whole winter without shaving...it's not like I'm wearing shorts or anything, right? Whatever.
    I hate it, it sucks. But when they're exposed they're always shaved.

    ......... But I don't mind, the hair is SUPPOSED to be there, it's natural.

    Same as armpit hair, natural hair color, unpainted nails, natural faces (no make-up), and unpadded bras. All natural, right? :wink:

    Constantly! I live in shorts!! But it's just life like cleaning teeth.
    Cheap hair conditioner is a good salve for shaving and keeping skin soft!
    I like the way my legs feel all soft &smooth! I'd be mortified to have hairy legs!!

    I love keeping my legs shaved. Makes my beautiful calves look even better and me less anxious about showing them off now that my muscle is starting to show :smile:

    I hate shaving my legs. But I live in Europe so it's kinda optional. If I am going to wear a bathing suit or something I shave but other than that it's too much effort and like another poster I don't have that much hair to speak of and what I do have is light blondish red, so you can't really see it anyway. The hubby doesn't care harry or smooth so I don't have that much motivation to keep at it.

    Now if I found a waxing place withing a few kilometers of where I live, I'd be there every 6 weeks. When we visit my family in S. CA I always make a spa day and get things waxed including my eye brows and a pedi/mani I always feel so much more feminine and confident afterwards, so yeah, I can understand where you're coming from

    Every other day if I don't have a pressing homework assignment due. Otherwise, it'll be done the next night. I can't stand having hair on my legs, it feels really weird when it rubs on my jeans, skinny pants and when my legs rubs against each other when I sleep. One of the most uncomfortable feelings in the world.
