Do you shave your legs in the winter?

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

nope but I only do them about once a year anyway as fair and not hairy.

I don't shave anything, at all! I eplilate 😁

I go an awful lot longer in winter without bothering but the hair is fine and wispy anyway!

⬆️this! I used to shave all my adult life, but now epilate. I wish I’d done it sooner. My hair has become so much finer already so it doesn’t need to be done as often and it takes longer to grow back than shaving anyway. It’s loads cheaper, quicker and less messy than waxing at home. Probably cheaper than shaving tbh those razor blades are so expensive. Plus I’m clumsy so I often used to cut myself. No more!

Yes but I also get bikini waxes year around and shave my armpits regularly.

Yes. I wouldn't like to go months without shaving. I'm hoping I can get them lasered eventually.

I don’t bother in winter

Every day in the shower. Legs bits and bobs. Just habit. Chin hair plucked or epilated everyday too (epilated depending on length those suckers sprout overnight!). As you get older the hair gets fine and wispy like PP said.

Only if I’m going out out, when I tend to not wear tights with my dress.

Mikart · 07/12/2025 06:58

Lasered them 20 years ago.

No, furry until shorts weather

MiddleAgedDread · 07/12/2025 06:57

Yes because otherwise they feel awful in tights and leggings.

PersephoneParlormaid · 07/12/2025 06:57

Yes.

FairyRobot · 07/12/2025 06:57

Yes I do. Every other day regardless of the season. I know lots of people who leave them over the winter but it makes me feel gross so I can’t.
