To love plucking my leg/armpit stubble?

Trying to figure out whether I’m a complete weirdo but I’ve just spent an hour tweezing out stubble from my thighs after shaving a couple of days ago. Not a fan of doing it unless it’s stubbly as it’s not as thick and satisfying (I’m gross Blush) but wanted to know if there any fellow pluckers here?

Me!

Particularly armpit stubble, it’s so satisfying to see the bald spots grow!

OopsPardonMrsArden · 28/10/2018 17:49

Um, no. Why would you do this instead of just shaving again?

One of my joys in life is epilating my legs, leaving it for a few days and then he’s picking any that we’re missed. I even do it through the winter when no one sees my bare legs. I’m constantly amazed at the thickness of some of my leg hairs, if I could grow them long enough I could fashion the lost wonderful scrubbing brush out of them.

Is this not eye-wateringly painful?

Like death by a thousand plucks

Als, I feel I dedicate enough time to plucking chin hair without adding in more places to tweeze

How else can you admire the root!

I've successfully switched from pulling eyebrows and head hair Smile

oopspardonmrsarden oh but the plucking of the stubble is no necessity like the chin, it’s a treat Wink

YANBU!

If you’re feeling particularly enthusiastic, you can draw an outlined shape in biro on your leg to pluck out.

SaucyJack · 28/10/2018 17:57

BTW- I’d never do that obviously.

I spend my evenings reading improving literature and the like.

I have a permanent bald patch on my lady area because I do this.

mummabubs · 28/10/2018 18:15

Meeeee!!! I even bought an epilator after realising how much I preferred it to shaving. (So if it is weird at least you're not alone!) 😂

Thighs!! I don’t even shave them.
For full disclosure, menopause has reduced my hair growth massively, but ive never shaved thighs.
