Hair removal for preteen/teen

[SandandFog]

DD is only 10 and has a lot of dark body hair already.

We've spoken loads about puberty and we are prepared for her periods starting.

Im just a bit unsure how I advise on body hair? I tend to shave and use my Philips lumea. I suppose I just wait until she broaches the subject of removal, is there a best way for young girls to remove hair if they want to?

I remember being totally confused and stealing my dads old bic razor and slicing my legs to shreds 🙄. I just want to help her out. Thanks for any advice.

Silky Mitts from Amazon are great for young girls. My daughter is mixed race and felt conscious of her hairy legs and we've used these when she's wanted to.

[quote Summerhillsquare]@worraliberty my 'judgemental' attitude ends with everyone, men women and children, presenting as they feel comfortable. Where does yours end? Will your child ever be good enough? [/quote]

There you go. Read that ^^ back to yourself and stop judging parents for listening to and helping their children remove their own hair should they want to.

My kids are grown up and more than 'good enough'.

More importantly, they have more than good enough parents who listened to them and understood life is not all about what we think. Their choices are just as important.

Their choices do not occur in a vacuum. Society pushes women to look and behave certain ways all the time. (This thread is about actual pre puberty children and body hair fgs!). The goal is selling more stuff, and keeping girls in their place. When boys are subjected to the same pressure you can come back to me with your 'choice' argument.

My modest proposal is that we push back against stereotypes and the bullying girl's face.

Right so let's stick all this in a nutshell, because you're not wrong about societal pressure etc etc.

If you have a daughter and she wants to remove her body hair because she's miserable and embarrassed by it, are you going to ban her from doing it, whilst telling her she's beautiful and all about how wrong societal pressure is?

Or are you going to help her do it safely, whilst telling her she's beautiful and all about how wrong societal pressure is?
