Would you go to the beach with legs this hairy?

I'm early 30's and I couldn't even tell you the last time I shaved my legs 😅 it's just hair? Who cares what hair other people have and where 😅

I would and then I’d think oh fuck I hope no one looks at my legs!!

unless your with people who are eg omg those hairs etc then personally id embrace the hairs

I'm late 30s and can't be bothered to shave my legs anywhere near as much as I used to. Now I just use hair removal cream as and when I remember. I'm trying to remember ever noticing how hairy a woman's legs are... Just got back from holiday too, so seen a fair few but couldn't tell you if they were bare, starting to grow or full on fur coat! I also live by the beach and often walk down in short shorts... Don't even consider checking the hair length beforehand 😁 you're good OP, Autumn is almost upon us anyway 😁

Your legs look grand. Im not a beachy person so I would automatically say no but in reality, maybe? I don't shave my legs all that often these say. I actually love this because my daughter's friends have visible hair on their legs now and not a single one of them is shaving it - when that was my friends and I at that age at school it would have attracted comments that made us want to shave - so I like that there are more adults women giving less of a fuck too.

Same here. I care a lot about personal grooming and so would never let my legs get this hairy. Definitely wouldn't go to the beach like it.

Yes. I’ve been travelling for the last year. Razors aren’t always available so I’ve done many beaches and pools with legs and armpits fully natural.

Literally nobody else cares. Your body has hair because you’re an adult. It’s not shameful to have a natural body with hair. It’s fine to have a preference for shaving, it’s not OK if you’re considering missing out of life experiences because you have an inch of hair on your legs.

I thought this was going to be about me as I did in fact go to the beach today, exactly like that, if not more hairy!

I swim year round and am not one for depiling.

Sure. Anything goes and unless very close to you who’d notice? My DD is 20 and doesn’t shave anything and I don’t think that’s so unusual now.

No I wouldn’t but I had mine lasered many years ago. I wouldn’t feel comfortable or remotely sexy with hairy legs and definitely not a full bush. How do you feel about it?

I live near the beach and swim all year round. I can't remember the last time I shaved my legs. Maybe Easter?

Nobody will notice!

My 15 yr old DD doesn't do anything with the hair on either her legs or under her arms - and she has thick, black hairs. She doesn't want the faff of hair removal or all the stress that it involves - her opinion is that it's her body and why should she have to remove it?!

My DM is banned from talking to her about it as over the years she's attempted to get DD to shave multiple times. She can't seem to accept that it's perfectly OK for women to - gasp - show hair.

I'm actually really proud of DD for making up her own mind and not being swayed by peer pressure/popular culture. I don't care what she does either way and she knows that. As long as she's comfortable, confident, and happy, I'll support her 100%.

I wish I'd had half her confidence when I was her age to just do what I wanted without worrying about what others think (disclaimer - DD is autistic and is very black and white!)

A few years ago I wouldn’t but the older I get the less I care about conforming to beauty standards

I wouldn't, no but I wouldn't be bothered by you doing so. Don't worry about it.

Arf! They look fine to me. I (dark, pale skinned) was a martyr to the razor during my 20s and 30s, though my much younger (blonde, tanned) sister had no such problems. It was all very Genesis 27:11 with me as Eeyore Esau:

And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

At some point in my mid-30s I just stopped caring and decided not to fight it, at which it apparently shrugged and gave up. I think shaving just encourages it. Post-menopause now, my arms and legs are completely hairless. And I no longer look as though I have a cat in my lap! 😆

Are you worried that people will judge you? If so, who cares? What can they do? Point and say ‘Oooh, hairy legs’? I live by a beach and not once have I ever noticed whether anyone has hairy legs.

I'd shave them if I had a chance but if it was spur of the moment, I wouldn't care. No one is going to be looking at me that closely anyway.

I'm mid thirties and never shave my legs anymore. Nobody cares. I've noticed it's becoming more common to be hairy legged.

Personally, no, but honestly, I don’t look at anyone else’s legs that closely when I’m at the beach 🤣Even if I did and I saw some stubbly legs or armpits etc, I couldn’t care less about anyone else’s body hair. I imagine most people wouldn’t notice or care either.

I would and I do it regularly.

I have just realised a few days ago, that I don't know whether other women around me do it or not - I just have never looked long enough to notice.

I regularly go swimming/aquafit class with legs like Hairy McCleary. Do I care? Nope.

If people are starring at my legs rather than enjoying the pool/beach, that’s their problem, not mine.

Absolutely not

Anyone who thinks badly of you would be being a bit of a twat imo.
Hope you had a great time.
