I don't shave my legs - I epilate them occasionally in the summer time so I don't look too chewbaca like, but this is infrequent so I am usually a bit fluffy.
Likewise I only shave my armpits if/when I feel like it- I usually do if I am going to be wearing sleeveless tops around people that I don't want to horrify, but in winter I can easily go several months without doing it. Sometimes I also just shave them randomly, because I want to, so I'm not doing it only for public appearance, but I definitely am more likely to do it when I know I will be seen.
(Yes I am a slattern, no I don''t care )
I haven't done my legs or armpits in a while. My hair is light brown so whilst legs are noticeable fairly close, they aren't comically gorilla like.
I am going to the beach with a large group of friends tomorrow. Normally I would remove hair for something like this. But today I simply don't feel like it. We are all in our early twenties, so in my group hair removal is simply considered a thing that women do, like washing your hair. It's sad but true. So I know that my hair will be a BIG DEAL but I also know that the other women in the group moan about "having" to shave and how annoying it is, so I kind of also want to show them that no, you don't have to!
So AIBU to unleash my hairyness (it's really not that bad I promise, I don't look like a man!) on the beach?
(unrelated but I have another friend- different group- who NEVER wears shorts or skirts (not even exercising) because she doesn't want to remove her (blond, fine) leg hair but feels that it's simply unacceptable to have hair in public )
