I last shaved my legs in September and won't shave them again until about April.

Why yuck? Body hair is perfectly normal on a adult woman. I currently have hairy legs, because I pretty much never shave them, and hairy armpits because I forgot to shave them in the shower yesterday. My DP certainly isn't turned off by it, he couldn't care less whether I have body hair or not.

I think it’s yuck 🤷🏻‍♀️
I wear skirts & dresses a lot, & exercise leggings, wouldn’t like hairy legs .
I think underarm hair is unsightly & unhygienic .
That’s how I like to keep myself & that’s my entitlement.
We are all different, I respect your choice also ..

I don’t shave my legs at all. I don’t understand why women have colluded with the notion that normal body hair is somehow gross or indecent (but only on women), and we all need to try to make our legs (and private parts) look like those of prepubescent children.

Do men who shave their faces look like prepubescent boys? this would mean that anyone whose husband doesnt have a beard likes under age boys, no?

Grown adults don’t look prepubescent just because they shave.

Why do you think looking hairless, apart from the head, is supposedly desirable for women?

WellMaybeYouShouldntBeLivingHeeeeeeee · 07/12/2025 10:27

I don’t feel very socially compelled to shave but there was one winter where I decided not to bother at all, and I ended up with uncomfortable dry skin on my shins — I think because the shaving kind of serves to exfoliate a little bit and makes me more likely to moisturise my legs than if they’re hairy. So now I do it year round, every few days

TeenLifeMum · 07/12/2025 10:27

Currently once a week but I’m in the process of using IPL so it’s reducing significantly. I love the feel of smooth legs and armpits all year round.

If you look like a gorilla unless you shave you have a very big problem… Presumably you also shave your face, neck, in fact entire body then?

Yes, I have standards all year round, not just April - October.

Standards? Choosing to have or not have body hair is nothing to do with standards, it's completely personal choice.

PinkSkies2026 · 07/12/2025 10:25

I couldn't go a few days without shaving, its so prickly. Takes about 1 minute.

RememberBeKindWithKaren · 07/12/2025 10:22

Not much. maybe three times ? About that. Been once since the weather was good, think I stopped after September.

Will do them again if I wear a skirt that calls for pale coloured tights and that probably won't be til March maybe April 2026.

dimple285 · 07/12/2025 10:21

No I don't, and i don't understand people who say having leg hair makes their skin feel itchy or uncomfortable, I'm not even aware it's there till I see it.

Shaving on the other hand often makes me itchy, especially when the hair first starts growing back - oh maybe that's what people don't realise? - if you don't shave the hair isn't itchy, it's the shaving that makes it feel itchy as it grows back.

AhBiscuits · 07/12/2025 10:20

Nope. I don't shave them in summer either, I epilate when the mood takes me, maybe every couple of months. The hair is fine, blonde and hardly visible anyway.

AgnesMcDoo · 07/12/2025 10:20

Yes but only cause I go to the gym and swimming

HermioneWeasley · 07/12/2025 10:19

Nope. Long enough to braid now. Might make a feature of them

OrlandointheWilderness · 07/12/2025 10:18

And I love my man hairy 😂

OrlandointheWilderness · 07/12/2025 10:17

Always. Every day - armpits/legs/bits. Can’t bear to be hairy! And before we have the ‘doing it for the menz’ crowd along to tell me WHY I shave MY legs - it’s because I actually really hate the feel of it and I’ve always done it even when single for years.

Show quote history

Just as shaved women don't look like pre pubescent girls, women with even the hairiest of legs, armpits and bikini lines don't look like gorillas.

I’ve started waxing my legs as hunger terrible reaction on my legs to shaving and finally got fed up in the summer. So need to try and maintain every 6 weeks to keep it up. For me body hair on legs/bikini is a sensory thing and find it makes my skin uncomfortable with the friction between clothes and hair so the week or so before a wax I find irritating. I couldn’t care what people think though as with waxing you have to let it grow back out anyway so if it’s near wax time then my legs/bikini will be hairy

MrsMoastyToasty · 07/12/2025 10:14

I don't shave my legs in winter. I get eczema on my shins at this time of year so it's too sore.

RichardMarxisinnocent · 07/12/2025 10:12

Missj25 · 07/12/2025 09:22

Yuck !
Is your husband not turned off by hair ?
I’m single & keep everywhere shaved no matter what the season , if it was only for hygiene reasons alone .

iSage · 07/12/2025 10:00

No. I don't even shave them much in summer. They've never been very hairy, and so what if someone sees hairs on my legs - hairs growing where hairs are meant to grow - why is that shocking? I shave them once before we go on holiday usually in June and then let them grow unless I'm going anywhere special. I don't shave my underarms at all.

Don't shave, don't give a fuck. And won't until men are expected to spend time, effort and pain removing all their body hair.

Don’t care that you don’t shave- each to their own, but why the comment about men? Alot of women find hair on a man attractive, beard, hairy chest etc.
