Ladies....shave above the knee or not?

i believe women shouldn't have hair growing below the eyelashes. lol. so i shave everything. all the way up my leg and more!

I suspect human biology might disagree with you on the 'shouldn't' aspect. Of course, choosing not to have is a different thing altogether.

Human biology/evolution has us picking less hairier partners, that's one of the reasons why we hardly have hair so human biology would agree with humans not being hairy. One of the theories to why this is that it was a way to lessen parasites from us. Of course with technology we can just shave now and trick the mate into thinking we're less hairy.

Ah the random application of post hoc social evolutionary thinking to justify cultural practices. Always amusing.

Well I shave it all but thats for me, not for my husband. I will keep the details as to why to myself but it may come to a surprise, but everything I do isn't for what a man wants. Taking care of myself, being fit, the way I dress, make-up etc has nothing to do with whether some man finds it attractive. Luckily my husband does enjoy what I do, but I do it all for me first!:bigsmile:

Of course and as it should be.

I tend to disagree. If I were married, and my wife wanted me to shave my legs...why shouldn't I? I don't care what other people think of me anyhow...and its her opinion that matters in the short term, and long term. The same if she DIDN'T want me to shave elsewhere...or DID want me to shave elsewhere. What difference does it make?

*shrug*...I guess I just don't get this whole 'Do for you, and if your spouse is happy, good for them...and if not, too bad!' sentiment that's taken root in our society.

Farfourah

I think some women need too while others don't. My sister literally doesn't have hair on her upper legs. It is so fine and blonde you cannot even see it. Me, on the other hand, have to shave my whole leg. I got the gorgeous, thick hair on my head but have to pay for it in other places. Laser hair removal is getting finished when I hurry up and get this pregnancy over!

HI Kenzi!
(Laser Surgery) Wow.. will that hurt? Is it permanent ? What all will get lasered? I am not trying to be nosy per'se.. but just wondering if lasering of private parts possible as well. I shave (above the knee lol) but would consider possible lazering of the you know what if its possible.

Even though I answered you in a message, I will answer on here as well in case anyone else wants to know.

Laser hair removal is permanent, if you are the right hair and skin type.
It can be very expensive and painful if you go to a dermatologist.
I bought the Tria at home laser, and have finished certain parts of my body. I can assure you, there is absolutely zero hair growth after one year.
The entire laser (which is all you need) costs 395 dollars, and between at home self treatments, you can still shave.
There are 5 levels. Level one is just warm, and level 5 is warm and feels like a rubber band flicking your skin.
I can tolerate 5 almost everywhere except the more 'sensitive' areas. Obviously the higher the level the quicker you see results.

It works best on coarse, dark hair and light-medium colored skin.
Unfortunately it does not work on dark skin or blonde hair.

I have light skin and dark hair, so I was the perfect candidate. It has worked wonders for me, but laser hair removal has not been proven safe during pregnancy so it has been put on hold until my baby gets here in September.

I shave (or wax, depending on the region) my entire body, more or less. I have since I was 15. I don't like body hair *shrug*

Respectfully,
Actually, I just thought it was great that she was doing it for herself first. But, that's not saying that there wouldn't be, couldn't or isn't any compromise ! I love the stuff shaven, omg do i, but if she(generically speaking) trimmed it that would be fine too. letting it go wild.. well, it might be a little scary going into a jungle while trying to play.

I understand...and of course I wouldn't make a sticky point ouf of something so silly in a relationship either. I was more commenting on the overall idea, rather than your specific post, or even her specific post, if you know what I mean.

I think it's great she's doing it for herself too. I would think it was just as great if she were doing it for her partner. I wouldn't think it was as great if she were doing it for herself, despite her partner.

Best of course, is when you're doing it for both of you .

megsmom2

I barely have any body hair anyplace. I haven't shaved anything in 30 years.

christine24t

yes i have to.

tanyalynnjohnson

I definetly do. It would not be a pleasant scene if I let it go. lmao

shaelataylor

i shave all of both of my legs...it just feels weird not to.

lyrical87

Shave above the knee when expecting company!!

Like many others I have very fine hair on the upper half so it's not really noticable.

BlessedMomX2

I only shave to my knees. My thighs have absolutely no hair on them, naturally completely smooth

RMuske

I shave from the waist down.. that takes more than enough of my shower time.

I think so long as you don't care either way, then I agree..why not do it for your partner? BUT, if you really really hate the way something looks or feels and your partner wants it, then it can be a problem.

Example, I once had a partner who preferred body hair on a woman not even trimmed... I couldn't for the life of me not at least trim. At the end of the day he didn't really care that much and he was fine with me going about my usual habits.

See how smart she is?

Love Kenzie

I agree...and that to me, when it's something you REALLY don't want to do...is where the compromise should finally come in. Prior to that, I just do the things she'd like me to...and go happily on my way knowing she's happy too, which is my main goal. Most people today...it's either what they want, or too bad. And the best part...is if ANYONE else catches word that a husband wants his wife to do something for him, or is unhappy about something she's 'doing for herself'...man, does the foot come down on his controlling, abusive *kitten* .

victoria4321

I'm special and I don't grow hair above my knees. I shave the bottom part every day and I wax everything else. I'd wax my legs too but they hurt so much!

victoria4321

i believe women shouldn't have hair growing below the eyelashes. lol. so i shave everything. all the way up my leg and more!

I'm proud to be a woman, not a little girl.

The idea that a woman shouldn't have any hair anywhere comes from porn and reminds me too much of guys who like 'em a bit too young.

So stop watching so much porn, perv.

saraann4

shave it all!
