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

Would you go to the beach with legs this hairy?

Depends where you live.
St Tropez prob not
Hastings yep.

Sod that. If it's good enough for Hastings then it's good enough for St Tropez.

@Spicyprawnsitisthen Those legs are not even hairy. My legs are far more hairy than that.

Is there a limit on how hairy your body can be at the beach? Not that I'm aware of.

Gettingbysomehow · 17/08/2025 19:56

Yes I would, I just don't care. In Germany everyone does.

RememberBeKindWithKaren · 17/08/2025 19:57

Yes

Duechristmas · 17/08/2025 19:59

I don't shave mine at all but the hair is blonde. I might feel different if it was dark.

Confuuzed · 17/08/2025 19:59

I never shave my legs, so yes. Its just hair.

ForWarmPeachBird · 17/08/2025 20:01

No because mine are never hairy.

BlackeyedSusan · 17/08/2025 20:02

Wouldn't when younger. Would now. (40-50)
Wouldn't go with hairy armpits though, nor bikini line.

chickenlettuceunderbacon · 17/08/2025 20:05

Eh? Those aren't hairy at all 😂

27pilates · 17/08/2025 20:07

No sorry I wouldn’t, 2 seconds with a razor and soap will sort that.

lemoncrisp · 17/08/2025 20:08

Of course I would go to the beach with hairy legs! Who on earth is going to be looking at them? And even if someone happened to notice .....so what???? Complete non issue.

Tartantotty · 17/08/2025 20:08

No. I love smooth legs which feel and look great and get a better tan.

HerLivingontheHill · 17/08/2025 20:10

I doubt anyone really cares that much.

I recently saw a women in a city with shorts and very hairy legs- more than yours.

It's not my preference, but it didn't spoil my day!

MincePiesAndStilton · 17/08/2025 20:12

Just back from a lovely day on the beach with my far hairier than this legs 😅

HangingOver · 17/08/2025 20:13

My legs have looked like this in shorts all summer 😁

tuvamoodyson · 17/08/2025 20:13

No…I prefer to be hair free.

Cathmawr · 17/08/2025 20:15

I would have cared in my early twenties but since then it's been a gradual slide into not shaving or giving a shit what people think about my appearance. Very liberating!

I don't really notice other women's body hair but if I do clock it I think good on you!

HPFA · 17/08/2025 20:16

Glad to hear all the younger women not bothering.

DD doesn't either but leg hair is so blonde you only know it's there by touch.

Imaybeoldbutstillrandy · 17/08/2025 20:19

Personally I wouldn't be bothered. I'm me, this is me, it's how I am take me as I am.

It's not as if you will ever see anyone that you meet on a public beach again - unless it's the beach in your local town, but again I say fuck them if they have a problem.

PiggyPants101 · 17/08/2025 20:20

I absolutely would (and have)

Also, casting my mind back, I cannot think of a time I have noticed another woman's hairy legs...

BrendaSmall · 17/08/2025 20:21

I pluck my leg hairs 🤣🤣
They don’t grow back after a while, I also shave too if going out, but haven’t got many now due to plucking

Londontown12 · 17/08/2025 20:21

Yeah I would !!! Who cares ! I don’t give a monkeys thou lol 😂

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 17/08/2025 20:21

I wouldn’t plan to but I’ve found myself in situations where I’ve been showing hairy legs like getting a pedicure and realising too late they were going to scrub and moisturise my legs 🤣. Also worn a skirt and realised they were hairier than I thought lol

steff13 · 17/08/2025 20:24

I wouldn't. I shave my legs everyday. But I wouldn't judge you if you did.

HangingOver · 17/08/2025 20:25

Lovely reading on this thread that fuzzy legs are more and more normal. When I was a teen a single hair anywhere was social suicide. Which was especially awful for me as my skin does not tolerate shaving well at all. So many years spent stubbly and raw!
