women who dont shave

I am single and I admit in the colder months I dont shave. When its warm I shave, if I had a man, I d prolly shave...maybe lol

Waxing solves all of the problems. No shaving, no stubble. Bare to fuzz and repeat.

People who disapprove of women with body hair are immature as hell. A body grows hair, if it wasn't natural, it wouldn't happen. There is nothing unclean about it, either, that's total crap. I find it hilarious when men say its gross and dirty - what about your own bodies then, huh? If you wouldn't touch a woman with body hair - why should she touch you? Why not keep yourself to the same standards?

Preferring either or for aesthetic reasons is fine but that kind of child and uniformed attitude should be rectified when you grow up. I can't stand the 'taboo' that surrounds something as natural as body hair, particularly someone else's body hair. Shaming women who don't shave is just awful.

It's everyone's decision to do what they want with their bodies, be it go completely hairless or be au natural and proud, and everything in between.

Here's a fact: the reason women in the UK/US started to shave their bodies is because during the war (the second, I believe) they started marketing razors towards women in order to generate more money. Before that, women didn't shave. Of course, it varies in different cultures, but that's what happened in the West.

Huge turn off. Especially armpit hair. I attribute it with hygiene.

So you shave your pits then, or are you one of the gross people?

Strong personal attack.

My legs only really get shaved if they're going out in public. Because they're white and the hair from the knees down is dark. I didn't even do it very often for the swimming pool this year. I'm fine with armpit hair until you start sweating. Armpit hair dripping with sweat makes my skin crawl. And I keep mine shaved every few days or I get itchy.

I haven't shaved in years. I used to spend so long shaving and though I'll do it once in a while out of curiosity, I ask myself, "Why?" I understand why people think it's disgusting. It's just what we're conditioned to do. My mom would not allow me to shave when I was young but because all the girls around me were doing it, I wanted to be like that. I'd rather save time than do that again.

Hah, nah. I'll have your back

Coming from a male, I supoort this. Seems to be a body hair double standard these days.

I really hate body hair on myself,but really not bothered about other people,aslong as personal hygiene is there lol.

First, actually. And word to your entire post.

Although I shave because I can't stand having stubble. I've had one boyfriend who shaved his legs/armpits and that had no bearing on our relationship.

Honestly it really grosses me out. If she doesn't care about hair growth chances are her business looks like a raccoon died and fell on her lap

I see the "cooking and staying quiet" comment has already been made.

I'll always remember in 8th grade, I had a friend named Faith who wouldn't shave or wear bras. She was bullied to no end. Hurts my heart to think about. Is this the kind of culture we want to create? Unaccepting, judgemental little *kitten* for children?

I think of Faith every time I skip shaving my legs nowadays.. It's saved me so much time and money just doing my armpits. The only reason I do my armpits is because I don't like the feeling of sweat and hair there together. It's cut way down on my morning routine!

I was counting the comments it took until there was a 'quiet and in the kitchen' line. Humanity never fails me.

As a girl who went through puberty a few years earlier than is normal, I had to deal with body hair from a very young age at a time when none of the other kids around me had even come close to puberty. I was bullied mercilessly for it and developed a complex about being hairless later in life, which wasn't helped by the fact my job as a model meant I was required to be clean shaven all over.

People who bully girls who have body hair are total sh*tstains. Any kind of bullying sends you straight into the 'yup, complete d*ckbag' corner, but girls have to deal with an entire multi-billion dollar beauty industry that profits off their low self-esteem and constant media and societal bombardment telling them how to exist anyway, so little snot-nosed brats in schoolyards really don't need to be adding to that pressure.

b) Agreed, it's awful to shame women who don't shave, but I question why it's OK to shame the people doing it

Who is shaming people that shave?

I had laser hair removal over the past 2 years, so I don't grow a lot of body hair any longer. I just have some white fuzzy hair on my legs, and I shave that about once a month or when it starts to blow in the wind when I cycle. LOL

This made me think...
First of all, I'm happily married. I shave daily. Yes, daily. So by most of those people-I am a very hygienic person.

That being said, I don't always use shampoo to wash my hair, I don't typically wear deodorant, and I can be found in the exact same clothes daily for a solid week. I brush my teeth (with baking soda and peppermint oil) three times a day though.

The good news for everyone about to say, "eeeew..."
I rarely leave my property, so unless you're here to buy chickens or rabbits, you won't smell me and...
I don't like people in my personal space so if im in public and you can smell me, I assure you that you are standing way too close to me.
