Which parts of your body do you remove hair from?

As a woman (or man) which parts of your body do you routinely (or periodically) remove hair from?

I shave my legs and arms regularly and remove some pubic hair (less often) and some bleach the hair on my arms as it can be quite dark in winter with no sun and makes me a bit self conscious on ‘special’ occasions.. as I’m waiting the required 7mins for the bleach right now I’m curious to see if this is normal?

Legs, armpits, bikini line, pluck eyebrows, ‘tache if needed, nostrils, any stray hairs I find sticking out of moles etc, toes, fingers... We all have very dark, luxurious hair in my family. Grin

Sometimes I'll shave my pits (and occasionally pubes if I'm feeling REALLY extravagant).

I used to shave my legs but I had a bloke tell me my leg hair was disgusting while I was sitting in a hospital (I don't have much leg hair at all, really only visible if you look closely at my calves). Since that happened I thought sod him, I'll keep them unshaven as much as I want to!

So most of the time, none!

Eyebrows, 'tache, under arms, bikini line, legs. Brows and 'tache get done as and when they're needed the rest get zipped over with the razor every day.

I wax my pits and bum, shave my chest/torso and keep the front of my bits short. Nostrils, which is new, so I’m guessing my ears will be in the list soon.

I’ve got one of those lumea things for xmas, so quite looking forward to using that.

Serious question - when does everyone find the time to remove all (or a lot of) their body hair?

My hair removal always end up like that scene in Evan Almighty where he shaves and looks up in the mirror and instantly has the bushy beard back Grin

Eyebrow I do daily. I find it really therapeutic.

Underarms daily in the shower.

Face once a month, takes ten minutes.

Legs, pubes, feet, toes about once a month in the shower.

Belly and boob hair as and when I spot them.

Do you pluck your eyebrows @YouBoughtMeAWall?

I just find myself crying anytime I go near my eyebrows, and that's not how I like to start my day Grin
(both for the pain and because I always unintentionally give myself sperm brows!)

I wax my bikini (Brazilian), underarms, upper lip and brows monthly


Legs - maybe twice a year. But I’m not particularly hairy

Yes I pluck. I don’t even feel it anymore tbh. When I left school I trained as a beauty therapist and we had to wax everything so I think my body was numbed to hair removal pain. Grin

I guess its like going to the barber, it just fits in your schedule.

I shave my chest/torso in the shower everyday, it takes 2/3 minutes tops, front pube trim once a week is generally enough and takes 2/3 minutes as I’m not particularly hairy. Bum and pits get waxed every six weeks, I always make it coincide with my haircut, nothing like a fresh trim and a fresh wax.

Pits every 2-3 days. Legs every 1-2 weeks.

I'm blonde though, I'd probably do my legs more often if they were more visible, and possibly would have to shave/bleach the ones on my fingers as well.

Eyebrows waxed every six weeks - not so much this year sadly
Armpits daily
Legs/thighs every third day in summer

Shave moustache, face and neck and chin every single morning - complete with shaving cream and post shave balm . Fucking PCOS.

Legs every couple of days, ankles to knees.
Veet for the crotch area roughly every fortnight.
Underarms most days
Big toes occasionally
Eyebrows every few weeks, I just give a general tidy up rather than proper shaping
Peach fuzz from my face and upper lip every couple of months
I have a mole on my chin that I regularly have to pluck hairs from, hoping the follicles will eventually die....
