Which parts of your body do you remove hair from?

As a woman (or man) which parts of your body do you routinely (or periodically) remove hair from?

I shave my legs and arms regularly and remove some pubic hair (less often) and some bleach the hair on my arms as it can be quite dark in winter with no sun and makes me a bit self conscious on ‘special’ occasions.. as I’m waiting the required 7mins for the bleach right now I’m curious to see if this is normal?

I laser all hair off bikini area and underarms once every 6 weeks. It’s amazing as I never shave/wax and am completely smooth all the time. No ingrowns. One of the decisions I’ve made.

Shave legs, pluck eyebrows.

Once a week ish bikini line - not the whole lot just edges and volume .
Ties, belly and around nipples when spotted.
Lower Legs and pits daily - hate stubble

Eyebrows, the odd upper lip hair, armpits (although I can’t find my epilator right now so getting a bit fuzzy). Bush and legs only in summer and often not even then.

One small mole on my jaw sprouts a coarse hair every few weeks. It gets removed. The rest I love, so it stays.

Puts, legs and fanny. Once a week.

My face. Sometimes legs and arms but not often

I pluck my eyebrows intermittently, just stray hairs. Rarely bother shaving my legs and almost never my underarms in winter but I would in summer if I'm going to have them out. Bikini line I trim but never shave. Can't be bothered with the discomfort of regrowth and the question of why I want to and do I even agree with the misogyny of it all, answer is no so I don't and barely notice anymore.

Trim my pubes
Laser my face, the joys of pcos.

For everything else I just embrace my inner yeti.

All body hair lasered off years ago (I’m not a porn star!) but I have sensitive skin and I’m dark haired and PALE. Any other method of hair removal resulted in rashes, ingrowns and all sorts, so I just got rid of it all. Eyebrows now, and the odd chin hair!

Pubic hair is always gone - I get a wax probably every five or six weeks. Everything else I don't really bother with. I'll shave my underarms if I'm going to wear a strappy dress. Legs my hairs are so light and fine I just can't be bothered. If I have time for a long shower then I might shave them but that happens very rarely nowadays.

Priority is the pits and hair on the chin.
Legs, feet, pubes, eyebrows, nipples, and the mole on my arm: when I get to think about it or when it's obvious I'm turning into a Yeti.
