About the lasering...what if you want the hair back one day?
I'm worried when I get super old that so will everything else down there lol. I'll want to hide it with some hair at that point.
It's pretty permanent. But if you think about it, as you age your hair generally gets thinner and finer anyway. When's the last time you saw an old lady with hairy legs (or arms). So even if you don't laser now you're likely to be hairless when you're really old anyway. Might as well get hairless now and enjoy it.
I'd imagine that old ladies still have pubic hair, don't they?0 -
dark, thick hair here...shave it all or its uncomfortable! haha0

All I get for body hair is pretty much what I would call peach fuzz its so fine and blond that its barely noticeable but that does not stop me from waxing it ALL, I hate body hair...:(0
-
I have very blonde short hair on my legs...so, I only shave to the top of my knee.0
-
I usually shave the top half of my leg half as often as the bottom. The hair up there is just softer and less noticeable. But yes I do shave it. My mom always told me not to when I first started shaving but I did anyway.0

Always0

Normally I don't shave above the knee, because I'm lazy...Actually my legs really need shaved right now...Oops. The hair on my legs is super light & very fine, so it's really not that noticeable.0

I don't shave...I spray that foamy stuff, wait 10 mins then wash off. Does the trick for me. Besides, being the voluptous woman I am, makes it easy to make sure that the backs of my legs are done. It lasts about two weeks for me now, guess that is an advantage of being older. It takes longer to grow back, and in certain spots, it doesn't grow back at all now.
Lucky me...
What is the foamy stuff called that you use. I hate shaving but I do it always looking for different products to use to make it easier for delicate parts but so far haven't found anything really good to use.
Veet works really well. I have it and it is what I use when I shave, but again, only the parts that will be visible to the public.
I use Veet or Nair too. Just seems easier to me.0 -

I am blessed with thighbrows that would put some men to shame :blushing: . heavy sigh. Throw in the fact that my hair is naturally curly, and it makes for an awful mix...my fix is to shave to the knee and wax from my knee to belly button. Shave underarms and then wax and tweeze any overtly offensive facial hair. Hours are wasted on hair removal at my house! I HATE ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE NO HAIR!!!! :grumble: Although, my arms are practically hairless, so at least I have that reprieve.0

YES! Almost as much as I shave under the knee. I like to be completely shaved. It is kind of an obsession. The most I've gone without shaving is three days.
I have light hair, I'm sure no one would notice, but STILL! It makes me feel better!0 -
I wear shorts, so I do.
Actually I don't really shave anymore.. I started shaving when I was 13, stopped when I was 16. Then I started waxing, and now I use an epilator. The hair that grows back is very fine and unnoticeable and I only have to use my epilator about once a month. I do shave occasionally if I'm in a hurry though.
I too am hairless below my eyelashes
does it hurt to epilate *there*?! haha, i'm so keen to try but not if it's going to make me want to die! lol
Not gonna lie, it hurts when you start doing it. I usually wax first, and then I just epilate the stray hairs so it's not that bad.
And you really do get used to it! I used to be a huge baby about waxing/epilating, but now it doesn't bother me at all.0 -
Shave all the way up...always have.0
-
I am one of those rare lucky chicks that has little to no leg hair. I have none from the knee up, and it grows so slowly and fine on my lower legs that I only have to shave every few months. I know, you can hate me now.
I do however "trim the yard"...it's only polite0 -

@ lilcupcake... Ata girl!0 -
That feeling when a man shaves his legs for the first time, gets up to the knee and realises that he doesn't have an escape plan lol For me it made sense to keep on going!0
-
I have noticed that the hair above my knee doesn't grow as strong as the knee below, so fortunately it doesn't get too long and only have to shave my thigh hair every few months - my below the knee hair I shave every shower because it feels good to be smooth. Everyone is different, so I respect what everyone else does to be sure Oh, did I mention that when I shave below the knee I also shave my toes? this is essential - good luck!0

ive been with my partner 16yrs married 9yrs this year and i still shave everything from neck down....
for me it just feels alot cleaner and i feel better in myself, its not just to please my husband (even tho he doesnt complain )
But i also have VERY dark hair so if i dont shave at least every second day you can see and feel the difference...0 -
Of course, everyday0
-
I wax . shave. pluck . trim
everything possible I cant stand the hairy hippy look,0 -
I usually shave just below. The hair on my upper leg is very fine and barely noticeable, so I only shave above the knee if I have a hot date or am going out somewhere nice and want to feel fancy.0
-
I shave to mid thigh
