I'd appreciate some honest feedback.

I have never had to shave my legs , my legs are hairless....completely hairless.

But I constantly get chatter from friends..........oh i have to shave my legs before i go on date.............oh shave legs before wearing skirt.

Surely I cant be the only female in the UK who has never had to shave her legs

Is there any other, hairless (leg and outer arm) women out there?

I am v hairy- always have been - at least when I was diagnosed with PCOS I realised there was a reason I had been super hairy. My 2 year old asked me the other day whther daddy's beard had fallen on my legs- and I'd only shaved about 3 days before.
I have hairless leg envy now.

I actually had split ends on my lower leg hair when I was a teenager. I have hardly any armpit hair though, and my muff is naturally quite neat.

thumbwitch · 24/06/2011 14:00

I have extremely blonde body hair. My upper legs have never been depilated in any way, nor do they need to be. Because I have such fair, next to invisible hairs, I tried to get away with not shaving my lower legs either - but gave in when the hairs nearest to my ankles darkened and started to curl!!Blush. They are still nearly invisible in colour but they do show up as a halo effect if I don't depilate regularly now.

My mum OTOH - after her 3 pregnancies, her hormones went out of whack - she lost all her pubic hair and the hairs on her legs went down to a minimum, such that she didn't need to shave, just used some dodgy sandpapery thing instead.

I'm so hairy that grown werewolves have been known to run screaming at the sight of me.

The bloody great jessies.

Husband whinges about the state of my ladygarden, I've told him I'll strim it for no man and that if he gets lost in it that's his fault for being such a worm.

On the very rare occasions I do go out to play, I'll drag the lawnmower over my legs and pits, but I'm dark haired, dark eyed, dark furred. Love me, love my pelt.

roybosh · 24/06/2011 14:03

mine are as hairy as my arse

ThePathanKhansWoman · 24/06/2011 14:04

spawn GrinGrin at split ends, have you tried L' Oreal,your worth it!

CareyHunt · 24/06/2011 14:04

Like a man.

Like a fecking man in furry hot pants.

I hate all you baldy bastards. Grin

This SE Asian girl was not so fortunate. Hairy!

But I would agree that SE Asians have less visible hair growth in general.

Meglet · 24/06/2011 14:06

I've had the split ends too. Needless to say, I don't own skirts and only one wedding / christening dress.

ThePathanKhansWoman · 24/06/2011 14:07

I don't believe any of you! Where are all my hairy sisters when i'm in public on my hairy-arsed own?.

Footpad · 24/06/2011 14:12

Speaking as one with the hair pattern of Pootle Flump, my legs actually get a 5 o'clock shadow - useful when gardening, though, as I'm sure it stops slugs going up my trouser legs.

What is it with hair - always grows where you don't want it - why can't it just concentrate itself on making a Pantene mane. Hmm?

My hair is alive, and it hates me.

Lunabelly · 24/06/2011 14:12

In the bathroom trying to locate the sparrows nest in my armpit.

I shave my legs every day even though I never, ever show them in public.....Confused

I also got over-enthusiastic with the veet moustache strips yesterday and have a nice few scabs forming where it's pulled off the skin! GAH!

What do you lot do about nose hairs. I've got unfortunate Kenneth Williams like nostrils and have to pluck the damn things but it's a never ending job...

Lunabelly · 24/06/2011 14:33

I get my eyebrows threaded as I'm extremely particular about eyebrows even if the rest of me does resemble a yeti in a windtunnel, and threading is the bestest, bestest brow treatment in the world ever.

Delapitory creams/lotions/sprays/strips just don't work on me , so razor it is, but ladies razors are usually about as effective on my fleece as a butter knife on a diamond, so steal my husband's razors. If he whinges at me, I just give him the look. Yes, that look.

I tried waxing once. Ha. Hahahahaha. Ha.

I am very very hairy. Legs look like manlegs if I don't shave (but I do everyday). Arms also look like they belong to a man, trim these. Mahoosive bush if left to its own devices (which it isn't). Thick visible down over belly, bum, lower back and boobs (and face), thick dark spiders legs around nipples which I pluck (and often get ingrowers and resulting spots/scabs). I am gorgeous Hmm

Riveninside · 24/06/2011 15:17

Hairy lower legs but no hair on thighs.
Why is that? Bloody freaky if you ask me

spookshowangel · 24/06/2011 15:25
