Do you shave your legs in the winter?

[beebee25]

I last shaved my legs in September and won't shave them again until about April.

Honestly as an anaesthetist we couldn't care less about the amount of hair on someone's legs nor their underwear....

I had a lower leg wax recently but that was only because I was going to a spa.

Once a week. Mine doesn't grow particularly fast though - so even in the summer it's only twice a week, and that's more to stop my legs feeling stubble-y as I tend to wear skirts and shorts a lot.

I IPLd my legs and armpits years ago, so have no hair.

No. Or in the summer.
Might shave my armpits once in a while, but I mostly live in jeans, so my legs need to be comfy.

I had very hairy legs as a child - only started shaving when I hit puberty. So it's the other way around for me 😅

Hairy pits and legs for the winter. I sometimes shave pits depending on what I'm wearing but can go all winter without, I'm not one for a strappy tip anyway.

I do swim weekly in the winter but don’t feel shaving essential for this, and wouldn’t be upset if some hairy leg visible at the gym. Do shave sometimes but definitely not regularly and much less in the winter.

Nop. Dont care

Yes, but I’m a lot lazier. Probably once a week rather than every other day.

I swim all year too. I dont care! No one should be looking and if they did notice, so what. We all have body hair, they just choose to shave theirs

I wear shorts all year round, so yes!

Once a week or so. Like a pp I was glad I did the Sunday night defuzzing recently as I ended up in A+E next day and was admitted. Showered and shaved just in time! Ultra clean undergarments also whew.

Don’t care that you don’t shave- each to their own, but why the comment about men? Alot of women find hair on a man attractive, beard, hairy chest etc.

No. I don't even shave them much in summer. They've never been very hairy, and so what if someone sees hairs on my legs - hairs growing where hairs are meant to grow - why is that shocking? I shave them once before we go on holiday usually in June and then let them grow unless I'm going anywhere special. I don't shave my underarms at all.

Why yuck? Body hair is perfectly normal on a adult woman. I currently have hairy legs, because I pretty much never shave them, and hairy armpits because I forgot to shave them in the shower yesterday. My DP certainly isn't turned off by it, he couldn't care less whether I have body hair or not.

I don't shave my legs in winter. I get eczema on my shins at this time of year so it's too sore.

I’ve started waxing my legs as hunger terrible reaction on my legs to shaving and finally got fed up in the summer. So need to try and maintain every 6 weeks to keep it up. For me body hair on legs/bikini is a sensory thing and find it makes my skin uncomfortable with the friction between clothes and hair so the week or so before a wax I find irritating. I couldn’t care what people think though as with waxing you have to let it grow back out anyway so if it’s near wax time then my legs/bikini will be hairy

Just as shaved women don't look like pre pubescent girls, women with even the hairiest of legs, armpits and bikini lines don't look like gorillas.

Always. Every day - armpits/legs/bits. Can’t bear to be hairy! And before we have the ‘doing it for the menz’ crowd along to tell me WHY I shave MY legs - it’s because I actually really hate the feel of it and I’ve always done it even when single for years.

And I love my man hairy 😂

Nope. Long enough to braid now. Might make a feature of them

Yes but only cause I go to the gym and swimming

Nope. I don't shave them in summer either, I epilate when the mood takes me, maybe every couple of months. The hair is fine, blonde and hardly visible anyway.

No I don't, and i don't understand people who say having leg hair makes their skin feel itchy or uncomfortable, I'm not even aware it's there till I see it.

Shaving on the other hand often makes me itchy, especially when the hair first starts growing back - oh maybe that's what people don't realise? - if you don't shave the hair isn't itchy, it's the shaving that makes it feel itchy as it grows back.
