    I only shave them when I'm going to wear shorts or have sex.

    If I waited to shave until having sex, it'd be a long time :sad:

    My fiance is in the Marine Corps and is deployed... I don't shave very often. When he is here however, it's everyday or every other (because he is nice enough to shave his face for me!)

    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.

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :sad:

    Depends on how I feel, I did go from the start of December until last weekend to do my legs, only problem is is my leg hair is rather dark, so lots of long socks and jeans for me :) I don't like shaving as I always end up with some blood pouring out of a miniscule papercut (or so it seems) usually on my ankle, my knee or behind my knee - really should think about getting them waxed - or do as a friend of mine is doing, have them lasered off - no more hair!!

    Trail_Addict: (to avoid a quote tower) you took what I said out of context. I meant, it's "supposed" to be there as in it's not abnormal or anything to have body hair. Not that girls shouldn't shave it off because it's natural.

    I think you missed the sarcasm in my post. I'm done now. Not gonna beat this dead horse any more. :flowerforyou:

    holy crap. did you just go for the electrolysis? was it to reduce air resistance for your runs?

    I hate you...jk I wish my legs were like that. :sad: I don't shave all the way in the winter...just from the above the knee down. Armpits are always shaved...can't stand hairy pits.:laugh: Legs doesn't bother me that much, plus I like to shave my legs in the shower...but I don't see so well without my glasses and it makes it hard to make sure I got every hair...which there are lots of.:grumble:

    As a natural brunette, I had no option but to start shaving when I was about 12 at peril of being humiliated in the girl's locker room. I shave every time I shower or bathe, whether I need it or not.

    I wear skirts 99% of the time but they almost always go more then half way down my legs and almost never above the knee as I hate the way it feels. I shave every monthish, and never really far above the knee, I have blond hair so it's not noticable and at the gym I wear pants. Recently I shaved as a "gift" to my hubby for valentines day, before that it was christmas, and before that it was about half way through october. I shave slightly more often in the summer, if I'm going swimming....

    Also my dad naturally has NO hair on his legs, I wish I had gotten that gene....

    I shave every time I shower. I cannot stand to have hairy legs. The feeling just grosses me out.

    Oh God. I forget about it all the time.

    I'm get my nails done every week like a religion, yet I completely skip on shaving my legs. It happens maybe, twice a week. ]:

    I hate shaving my legs, I think it's a chore, and honestly, I only do it when I'm going to wear a dress.

    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 need to do this..I am always in my PJ's and when I actually get dressed and do my makeup my husband always says how good I look...I htink I am going to start this today.

    Oh goodness, I hate shaving my legs! I only shave my legs when I'm going to wear shorts, dresses, etc. or if I'll be with my boyfriend for the day. During summer I shave them every day, but during the colder seasons much less. As of now, I shave them about 3-5 times a week. Sometimes less and they're super stubbly hehe.

    i shave mine whenever, my boyfriend (of 9+ years) is a T5 paraplegic, and he does not mind since he can't feel them rubbing up on his legs (cause he can't feel his legs due to being a T5) when we are in bed. but i do try for at least twice a week! but sometimes i get lazy, more so in the winter, always in jeans. but in the summer, almost everyday.

    I'm horrible about it in the winter time. Maybe once a month or if I'm gonna wear shorts to the gym, like yesterday. In the summer its usually once a week, or more often if I'm going swimming. I live in jeans though so its not like anyone sees. :)

    I don't shave at all. The only hair removal I do is my eyebrows. Like to keep as natural as possible but i'm not that hairy anyway.
    Plus all the effort that goes into shaving- must be a little lazy haha

    i hate hair, it totally grosses me out... especially to see it on women... although, too much on men is just as bad... can you have a hair phobia? (think i have one) :laugh: *gags*.. so i shave most mornings in shower or bath at night... and yes i feel so much better when i have done this, made my hair nice, put on a sexy matchin set of undies, scooshed my perfume, on some heels n out the door... as apposed to trackies n trainers... but needs must at times... as longs i got the sexy undies though i feel fantastic... gran always said *u'd never build a house without a decent foundation* :laugh:

    haven't shaved since January 19th and only reason i remember that is it was the day I got spray tanned for my BFF's wedding.

    hubby doesn't seem to mind and its long enough now that its super soft! Now don't get me wrong if my legs were going to be exposed in public i'd shave them. But i'm thinking I might try waxing. Never tried it before and there's suppose to be "growth" for the wax to adhere to right...

    any waxing recommendations??

    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.

    Just a tip on the itchy rash- I'm a beauty therapist and we sometimes have clients who react the way you describe when we wax them, and we've discovered that in some cases it's a reaction to the pine rosin in the wax. We have a store of synthetic wax on hand now to use on these clients- it's more expensive for us to get in but TOTALLY worth it for the reduction in discomfort we see in these clients! A really good way to figure out if you might be allergic to standard waxes is to think about what happens if you touch a pine tree at Christmas- if you get itchy, you're probably going to need the synthetic wax at the spa!

    I told myself I was going to do that as well but since I work nights I always give in to just taking a shower and throwing my hair up. I'm getting it cut tomorrow so hopefully that will changes things. As for shaving my legs, I also find it a chore especially with a 6 1/2 month old I don't always feel like I have time plus it seems that even before the day is over the hair has grown back. I've been doing it about once a week lately.

    You think you guys have it tough? I represent a nutrition brand and always have to look in shape and de-fuzzed. I'm a bloke and I'm like a monkey in term of my natural hair growth and my hair regrows massively quick within a week (since I eat very clean foods, hair, nails etc grow back QUICK and very thick). Entire body shaving 3-4x a month.

    Just curious how many other people are like me.

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


    This is me all over lol

    Such a mission... Especially since having our daughter. It's like "why bother" I am not going anywhere lol
