Would you go out with hairy legs?

No. I wouldn’t dream of it.

I really really want to say yes. I reset how women are raised to despise our own bodies but I probably wouldn't. If I was exercising I'd wear 3/4 leggings unshaven and I'd go swimming unshaven but otherwise no. I have really ugly legs so I don't show them anyhow it would be just cropped trousers or long skirts with a slit.

Yeah sure. And I do have dark hair so it's noticeable.

I'm not stupid, I know some women will be thinking how gross/slovenly I am. But I don't care what they think and frankly I think the sort of women who judge that kind of thing are vapid idiots, so it's a silent tit for tat I suppose.

I wouldn’t but I don’t care what others too. I have pale skin and thick dark hair and hate the feel of leg hair so I lasered it off, best money I have ever spent, I used to have to shave daily and got really irritated skin from the stubble.

Yep. Sometimes I go out without removing my PCOS beard too.

Honestly I think people rarely notice these things as much as we think they do. And personally if I were to notice someone out unshaven and confident, the only thing I would think would be Yes Queen, go for it.

I do, but then have very little blonde leg hair and only need to shave occasionally.

I haven't shaved/plucked/waxed my legs since I met my husband.

I have no urge to look prepubescent.

I go to the gym regularly and swim/sauna with very hairy legs and armpits. I don't know if anyone notices and I wouldn't mind if they did and questioned me about it.

For me its as simple as looking at the basis for the social norm and then not adhering to it as I just don't believe women should be working to look like they've not gone through puberty and adult humans all have hairy legs. I also find my armpits far, far cleaner and not smelly when they are hairy.

Never, I like smooth tanned legs and hide them away otherwise. But that's my own insecurity.
If I saw a well groomed woman out and about with her hairy legs on proud display I'd be in awe of her. I'd think she was cool.

But if I saw an unkempt disheveled woman out with hairy legs I'd feel a bit 🤢
Sorry, but I'd think she was lazy rather than a feminist.

I havent shaved my legs or armpits in 5 years now. I have very dark, thick hair and pale skin so it's very noticeable. I wear shorts and dresses out all the time and have never had anyone say anything, never noticed anyone staring etc. If you want to do it then just go for it, nothing bad will happen.

I don’t mind if YOU don’t, but I shave the lot.

I wish I had the courage. But I don’t.

I went to the gym with hairy armpits though.

I couldn’t and actually have a recurring dream that I am out in shorts and have forgotten to shave my legs. The panic in the dream is terrible whilst I try to hide my legs from view and search for a way to get a razor. Clearly I’m uptight about body hair 😂

Lost most of my hair (inc. body hair) undergoing chemotherapy. Although I have now finished this treatment, and although the hair on my head has started to regrow, I totally forgot about the hair on my legs. Have been out several times recently with bare legs, and only noticed the other night while having a bath how long and dark my leg hair now is. I know I should probably shave it off, but just don't care enough. IIRC, last time I shaved them was last October. Before cancer, I only ever used to shave whichever bits of my legs were on show anyway!

Seriously though, if you're not bothered OP, no-one else should be either. Life's too short to worry about this kind of thing.

No.

After giving myself a massive nasty cut shaving a couple of weeks ago (now almost healed, thankfully), I am giving up shaving. My husband doesn't shave his legs, so why should I? (Just to be clear, pressure is not coming from DH - he couldn't care less!)

So I will be joining you soon, OP.

Absolutely not, though I don't have to worry about it now as I had laser hair removal.

I absolutely agree with a lot of the comments made above about how it is absolutely fine to, but it's just not for me.

I only wear leggings or half way bottoms so no I don't shave my legs.
However I went a whole year without shaving plucking ect.
And what I found out was my skin had healed.
After a long year I shaved my armpits and legs with the razors I've always used.
And my god I was sore itchy blotchy I scratched so much I bleed.
So stopped again and got a charger shaver for my armpits it's a close shave but nothing scrapes my skin.
I only do my legs if I wear shorts not very much.

No, pre laser treatment I wouldn't. I had thick dark hair, it was incredibly obvious.

Always. Life is too short to be arsed shaving.

I wouldn't - for me i hate my body hair, its long dark and gorilla like. i actually didn't shave as it made my skin feel horrible, i used hair removing cream then moved to waxing. I have had it lasered off now and i love that there is not hair any more. My armpit hair made me smelly and uncomfortable so i waxed that off too now lasered off. In the past i would have worn trousers, tights or long skirt to hide it, not because of what other people would say but because of how it made ME feel.
But if you don't want to hsvae wax etc go right ahead

No. But I'm the type that won't even jave hairy legs in the house. I can't stand the feeling of it, it makes me feel unclean and I have an illness so I fel like I have to be ready to the point if I need to gonto hospital, I'm clean or if I need to ozone an ambulance, they arnt going to find someone who's not washed with hair legs.

I don't shave. But I don't wear shorts or short skirts/dresses either!

People would be too busy looking at the extensive scarring on my legs to notice the hair, which doesn't grow over the scars anyway!

I haven't done any actual research about it, but I can't say I have ever noticed a man without armpit hair?

On one I fancy, I like it. On one I don't fancy, I just don't want to be anywhere that area anyway.

I do find men with shaved legs weird - it's usually sport related, and not a turn off, but I just find it a bit odd looking. Not that I would every say anything, they are usually pretty fit anyway!

Can't remember when I last shaved my legs. I'm going swimming shortly and I couldnt care less who's staring at my hairy legs on the beach. Although it's so flipping cold today I'm not sure there will be anyone on the beach!
