Just out of curiosity since I don't know if everyone does it as often as I do.

He doesn’t react, not sure he’s noticed but if he has it hasn’t been something worth commenting upon.

I was wondering as much

allmyown · 21/06/2024 21:18

never

Genuine ( not arsey) question to the non shavers ( or retired shavers): how do your DH’s react?

DH dosnt really notice or care, but it’s only my legs that are in need mainly.

If he had a problem with it, as MN says, I’d have a DH problem!

Once a week

Deebee90 · 21/06/2024 21:19

twice a week I think. Can’t bare the thought of hairy underarms I find it disgusting.

Justkeepswiimming · 21/06/2024 21:20

Wow I'm impressed with these responses! In thr summer probably daily/every otherday if its tshirt weather. Otherwise as and when it gets too long 🤣

Blackcats7 · 21/06/2024 21:20

Never. Years ago I had an infected hair follicle caused by shaving my arm pits. It was horrible so I have never shaved again. I am not a very hairy person so it doesn’t feel any different tbh.

Epilate once a week ish - but barely anything to epilate after doing it for years.

Londonrach1 · 21/06/2024 21:22

Once a year...I knew I was going swimming on holiday...

Once a month or so. More if my 64 yr old arms are going to be on show.

Snowpaw · 21/06/2024 21:25

twice a week for my gym sessions

Londonrach1 · 21/06/2024 21:25

Cuwins · 21/06/2024 21:07

Before I started swimming once a week I could go a couple of months between shaving. My partner has never mentioned it, would be a bit hypocritical if he did seeing as he is very hairy!

Never commented...not important. Tbh I not hairy and once a year is enough...I never ever shaved legs who do that, just arm pits.

ZoomDoomZoom · 21/06/2024 21:25

I have them faced but more often in the summer and hardly during the winter.

ThePoshUns · 21/06/2024 21:27

Once a week

JulesJules · 21/06/2024 21:27

Never. Had chemo and radiotherapy (breast cancer) and the hair never grew back

BarHumbugs · 21/06/2024 21:27

I did them last year but not the year before.

AxolotlEars · 21/06/2024 21:30

Never

TubeScreamer · 21/06/2024 21:30

Every day. Takes seconds in the shower.

Houseofdragonsisback · 21/06/2024 21:31

Maybe once a month, every 6 wks but I’ve never had more than a few short wispy fair strands!

TootGoesTheOwl · 21/06/2024 21:31

Used to be daily or twice a day at the weekend if I was going out at night.
I epilate weekly/every other week now.

ThatsAFineLookingHighHorse · 21/06/2024 21:34

Daily. Takes just a few seconds in the shower.

bonzaitree · 21/06/2024 21:38

Wax mine every 3/4 weeks depending on the season / outfit choices etc.

From these comments im now understanding past posts how mumsnetters showers only take 2 minutes max

Given that everyone commenting that it just takes seconds, I don't think it makes much of a difference to the length of a shower.

I'm single, but the last guy I was with preferred women to be hairy.

How do you see in the hollow of an armpit in the shower? I need a mirror.
