    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 foamy stuff?! I want foamy stuff!!!!

    when i was younger, i shaved whole leg. hair was fine and light blonde so it didnt seem to matter much. (mom told me i never had to shave them but it just didnt seem right so i HAD to shave them just because she told me NOT to!! )then hubby started shaving them which was nice.. :) so we took turns.

    after the novelty wore off, he pretty much stopped and i kept on. then i was older and hair seemed to grow other places like my chin and upper lip and leg hair stopped or slowed down at least...at one point between here and there, it seemed there was SOOOOO much hair that when i DID shave, i felt i could wear pants too sizes smaller due to hair loss.. its just MY story..do what YOU want, ladies!! dont let others influence you!! :)

    I guess I'm lucky that I'm a natural blond. My body hair for the most part is very sparse thin and blond. I shave my legs up to the knee, privates, and armpits once a week.

    I'm blessed with very fine leg hair (a trait I share with my DAD, if you can believe it, lol.) I used to shave my whole leg but I've found that if I just shave to the knee my keratosis pilaris is not nearly as bad on the backs of my thighs.

    My leg hair above the knee is not like a dude's. At all. It's "downy" at best. And hard to see even though I'm a brunette. Thanks, Dad! Lol...

    I couldnt have said it better myself. I don't shave above the knee because I simply haven't ever had to- I'm lucky in that department..
    Unfortunately for me, and other women, removing body hair is seen as a commonplace and everyday behavior. I too shave occasionally above the knee, and certainly below. Removing body hair for social normative reasons, along with this whole conception of hairlessness being seen as feminine and attractive, is what drives me to do it, but at the same time I wish I had the guts to put the razor away and be my natural self!

    I shave everyday. It gets itchy if I don't shave it everyday.

    ^^^ This.

    And I had a friend who never shaved above her knees (she was blonde). The guys in high school would tease her, and she would always say, "I don't shave it because it doesn't show." Ummm, sorry dear, but if it doesn't show than why does everyone know you don't shave above your knees???

    Obviously a personal preference, though.

    All the way up. I don't have much upper leg hair either, I just like that properly, fully shaved feeling. It's nice.

    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.

    Agreed! No one has to look like Magilla Gorilla for God's sake....but Barbie crotch is no more appealing!

    Agree and love the expression "Barbie crotch." I'm stealing that.

    If a guy can't handle a little trimmed pubic hair or peach fuzz on the thighs I guess he won't mind if I don't ever let him near those places. Ever.

    um, that's a big fat yes. There is hair there, even if it's finer.

    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! :)

    I shave just above my knee haha, and that happens about once every...three weeks. BUT my hair is extremely fine and blonde and hardly noticeable. If I had thick black hair, I`d shave all the way up my legs as much as possible haha.
    Same here... only I often just do not shave them in the winter. No man around usually, so why? But I do a bikini shave because it's more comfortable...T.M.I.?

    You are correct. My mom and I are totally different. She has stubble after about two hours and I can go for about a week. And even then my stubble is never as coarse as hers. It really does vary quite a bit from woman to woman.

    I have fine blonde hair so I've never shaved above the knee, but I will sometimes when it's summertime. My lower leg hair has grown in darker and coarser over time so I always shave there.
