So whats the general consensus - leave / shave / cream / other?

My Dniece is conscious of hers, lives in a very hot climate and Dsis isnot sure what to do?

I showed my dd aged 11 how to shave and got her some gel.
I had to actually do it for her the first time, luckily she's not particularly self conscious!

I got my just turned 12 yo DD a battery powered electric shaver for Christmas.

I think the children should be allowed to do whatever they like, as long as it's a real choice - ie they should be told that many, many adult women (including famous ones) don't shave at all, and that it's not compulsory or necessary, and is in fact a pretty recent trend.

If they still want to do it, then whatever works.

Shaving. Cream really hurt my sensitive underarms.

Kids need to shave/wax w/e when they need to physically. Age doesn't come into it for me.
