Like this?

I went today without really realising how bad they were until I got there. I live by a beach, not on holidays and just rushed there after work
Now i’m looking at them like 😮
I feel like no one I know would do this

I would 🤣, prob in socks and crocs

mcdog · 17/08/2025 17:16

probably not, but I live in the midlands so a beach trip is an event that gets prepped for!

Bibonelove · 17/08/2025 17:16

I wouldn't a few years ago but I've got to the point I don't care anymore about hairy bits , we all have them

Trumpthecant · 17/08/2025 17:17

I literally couldn’t care less about other people’s normal body hair.

I rarely shave my legs. But I have very blonde hair so maybe I’d feel different with darker hair. Dunno.

But honestly don’t worry.

emmetgirl · 17/08/2025 17:17

Years ago I wouldn’t have but now? Couldn’t give a shit 🤷‍♀️

Squirrelsnut · 17/08/2025 17:17

Yes, absolutely.

Growlybear83 · 17/08/2025 17:18

Whyever not?

DeirdreChambersWhatACoincidence · 17/08/2025 17:19

Yes. I've just been round two parks and sat beside a sandpit with legs much the same. I even had a nice chat with a younger man who was watching his son and he didn't faint or anything.

Sprogonthetyne · 17/08/2025 17:19

I wouldn't intentionally, but I also wouldn't let it get in the way of an impromptu beach visit if I happen to be there or invited unexpectedly.

AlpacaMittens · 17/08/2025 17:19

I would and I've done it and would easily do it again.

Also I have very dark hair!

crazeekat · 17/08/2025 17:21

No normal person is looking at them

Ficklebricks · 17/08/2025 17:23

I just got back from a lovely UK beach holiday and I honestly can't remember a single person who was on the beach all week with me. My eyes were fixed on my kids, the lovely sunset, the fish in the rock pools, my feet in the sand. People don't look at other people when they're busy on the beach, they are far too busy surfing, reading or swimming etc.

Spicyprawnsitisthen · 17/08/2025 17:23

Even with having Dh there..I just don’t seem to care that much anymore 🙈same as a pp, a few years back I would never have…not sure if it’s a good or bad thing

It’s definitely a good thing!

GonnaeNoDaeThatJustGonnaeNo · 17/08/2025 17:25

Absolutely I would.

Glitchymn1 · 17/08/2025 17:25

Personally no, but I shave daily- apart from 5 days before a holiday 😆(don’t ask).

Willyoujust · 17/08/2025 17:26

Who gives a fuck

minipie · 17/08/2025 17:26

I would only care if I was 1) meeting a group of friends who were likely to be very groomed or 2) on the pull.

Otherwise, nope. Those are normal legs, as nature intended.

Yachtingaroundtheworldiwish · 17/08/2025 17:27

No one cares, or even gets close enough to see.

Early3Rise · 17/08/2025 17:27

Wouldnt have when younger.

Late thirties now and find myself caring less and less.

I'd go to the beach, but not if going with people I know

That seems so much like hard work
I do much prefer having halr free legs though-for myself..think i’m getting lazy

As a woman would I go to the beach with legs that look like woman's legs? Yes, my legs have always looked like woman's legs, and always will

MysteryNameChange · 17/08/2025 17:28

I absolutely do. I wear skirts and shorts all summer with hairy legs, no one gives a shit. I sometimes shave for weddings and christenings. I hate having stubbly legs so that's why I don't shave very often. Hairy is much softer than stubbly.

Do you mean mine don’t? Probably misunderstanding 😅

They look fine! I went to the beach today and thought I had shaved my legs but saw that I had missed the whole front of one shin! I doubt anyone can even see the hair.
