Sadly I have both hairy toes and bad circulation Angry

I shave my toes once a week. I've never had any issue with them growing back stubby or thicker.

BuntyBlue · 20/06/2016 13:57

I shave my big toes, every time I do my legs (a couple of times a week).

bonzo77 · 20/06/2016 14:03

YANBU. I wax my toes. And the backs of my hands and my arms.

Where exactly is your umbongo? Grin

FlyingElbows · 20/06/2016 14:36

My umbongo is in the same place I leave the corpses of punctuation bores.

GrinHmm

MrsNuckyT · 20/06/2016 14:39

I shave my big toes for sure.

I'm not particularly hairy but get the buggers on my big toes, really hate it!

I did try plucking them once! Never again that hurt like hell!!!

Have waxed them, and shaved them eventually No-No'd the buggers and now not so bad checks toes, discovers one stray one and is now horrified as wearing sandals

icouldabeenacontender · 20/06/2016 14:43

It cheered me up, but I guess that's me told.

CalmItKermitt · 20/06/2016 15:01

I'm now going to start calling my private shaved area my Umbongo 😌

FeckinCrutches · 20/06/2016 15:09

I get mine waxed or threaded. And my nostrils waxed Blush

littleshirleybeans · 20/06/2016 15:36

I shave my toes as well. And my fingers. Occasionally, some bits of my arms. Am not very furry though, I just hate any unsightly (IMO) hair.
I get my umbungo completely waxed.
I'd get my inner nose waxed in a heartbeat
hate the word nostrils Grin

FeckinCrutches · 20/06/2016 15:37

I highly recommend it Shirley super satisfying.

ShtoppenDerFloppen · 20/06/2016 15:39

I was going to suggest what others are saying. Don't shave - wax or epilate.

Eventually the follicles will become so damaged they will stop regrowing.

UmbongoUnchained · 20/06/2016 15:46

I'm a euphemism! Dreams really do come true! 😍

maltesersaremine · 20/06/2016 15:56

Oh yes nose hairs, i forgot about them, I swear it is because I was pregnant with a boy lol. Do people pluck these? It bloody hurts!!

I wax my toes and stomach myself. I have my legs, lady parts (to varying degrees depending on how masochistic I'm feeling) and underarms waxed in a salon occasionally.

My fingers are ok, big toes are another storySad I just shave every time I do my legs

Flumplet · 22/06/2016 22:19

One time I tried wax strips on the fanj - never ever again will a wax strip come near my body I thought I was going to die with a half waxed / half hairy mingle. Dreadful horrible experience!
