Armpit hairs, 11 yr old

[Lifeonrepeat]

DD is the most developed in her class. Her armpit hairs are very long and she does gym and swimming with them very visible. When I suggested I could teach her to shave she said that she didn't know anyone else her age who shaved so didn't want to.
How can I introduce shaving and at what age? She also has some quite pronounced buds but doesn't want to wear a crop top as again none of her friends do. She starts secondary school in September and I think she should be wearing some form of crop top then but unsure how to introduce the notion to her.

My daughter was the same, she’s 12 now and at high school and not interested in shaving her armpits. Just make sure she wears anti perspirant (sorry can’t spell it) my daughter got very whiffy and if don’t tell her she doesn’t bother putting it on.

Yr 6 DD1 has not started developing at all. She did comment this week that she had hairy legs. But the hairs are blood, at least for now during the summer..

I haven't notices hair anywhere else, nor buds.

As far as shifty pits is concerned, 7yo DD2 has to gphave the sniff test every morning as she does get stinky

When I was a child, my mum got me veet (or is it immac?) at first. Stinks but means you're not cutting yourself shaving

Just to be clear at no point in their lives do women or girls 'need' to remove hair from any part of their body, or provide extra support or coverage for their breasts. They may choose to for a multitude of reasons, but they don't need to.

My dd has been asking to shave her legs since the age of 7, I have declined to let her because I feel that is too young, we are two years on and she still asks intermittently, i feel guilty not allowing it but I also know that once she starts the hair will get darker (she has very hairy legs) and this will create an even bigger problem for her with her confidence. I say let kids be kids for as long as possible, once over the age of 10/11 they can make their own minds up on the shaving front.... hell some women don't even shave their pits.....
