Are people shaving their arms now are they?!

[qwertyskirty]

Just seen the venus shaving advert. A woman was shaving her whole arm?! Why?!

I knew someone who had a thick layer of hair on her arms (more than many men). She shaved her arms. Never knew anyone else to do it though.

Because I want to.

My legs are lucky if they get a shave, fuck my arms!

I do mine because I want to. My hairs grow crazily long. DP doesn't notice/care so def not for anyone else.

I've done it for 15 years. Second nature now really.

I epilate mine, have done for years.
I have really long hairs otherwise which I'm not keen on.
My body, my choice.

Yep I shave mine, I prefer them smooth and it takes two seconds (I only do up to elbow)

Yes I epilate mine. My hair is totally normal, very light; I just don’t like to be hairy anywhere

Some people do. I’m blonde with fine hair so don’t. It’s personal preference.

Yep always done mine!

I shave my arms, there's really no need as I'm very fair and not hairy at all but it's just something I've always done 🙃

I've don't mine for years, weirdly they are very blonde and have stayed Blonde despite be being dark. I'm just not keen on body hair.

My dd has done it for years

Well thank you Mumsnet my eyes have been opened! I'm slightly to see this being normalised on an advert to be honest.

I've been doing it for 15 years so yes, some of us do.

Some people have a lot of body hair and they don't like it. So what? They do what works for them and you do what works for you.

Yep . I used to have dark hairy arms not anymore thanks to a razor. My friend has hers waxed

I’m in my forties and clearly recall a friend at school who got her arms “sugared” to remove the hair. So it’s not new.

My sister does this as her hair is very dark. Most of my Asian (Bangladeshi/ Indian/ Pakistani heritage) female friends do also.

Nope

I never used to but since having full sleeve tattoos I shave them because I want to be able to see the ink properly
And not through a finelayer of fluff

I genuinely had no idea this was a thing

I'm slightly hmm to see this being normalised on an advert to be honest.

Are you suggesting it is abnormal?

I shave my arms . I have too, they are far too hairy for a woman, and the hair is dark .

That is why !

I think it’s weird. My brother has done it for years!
