I don't. Well, I didn't! I've decided I better had, before I start to trip over it .

You should buy some of that new Johnsons cream that minimises hair growth. My friend says it's very good. I'm definatley trying it, I hate shaving my legs!

Problem with the cream is that you have to keep remembering to put it on! I start off with good intentions but then find that I've forgotten for 5 days and then wonder if it's worth continuing.

I tend to only do it when I'm likely to expose my legs like going swimming ! Whats the cream called ?

no I grow mine and knit for extra warmth.
I did shave when going into hospital though.
That really made my Dh think I was off to try and pull and doctor!!!

I think it's just called Johnsons hair minimising cream. There is an advert on the tv at the moment for it.

Yes because I go swimming twice a week.

(Well I say swimming but don't actually get chance to swim, just take kids to parent and child class and DS to swimming lesson).

But only do a quick job in winter.

Only for swimming. I have sex during winter too, but expect dh to put up with it!

I can't remember the last time shaving my legs was done for DH's benefit....if ever!

Ok, what about arm pits? (The more it snows, the more it grows) only joking, I can't have unshaved armpits, yeuck!

I'm with bensmum3 - only if they're going to be exposed to the public.

Sex, nerdgirl, what's that ? (my excuse is that we have a 6mo in our bed every night)

We are trying for no. 2 so I'm shaved, plucked, moisturised and scrubbed up to lure DH into bed every night....

Yes could never leave pits whatever the time of year, state of sex life etc.

Actually (whispers...) I hardly ever do my armpits. Why are people so revulsed by that?

Ummmm - maybe that's why some women look at me in appalled fascination when in changing room at the gym

Ha Ha ! people are so disgusted by me not doing my pits that its killed this thread

I was kind of hoping the hairy pits would put dh off but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe I'll say his hairy legs are off-putting and if he wants sex he's got to shave them...

I'm getting to the point of pregnancy where I can no longer see my legs so I don't care if they're hairy!
