Ugh! I have PCOS and hideous black hair down the back of my thighs so do shave all the way down the back of my legs and the inside of my thighs but not the tops of my thighs.

Too much of a wimp for waxing and wouldnt like anyone to see the backs of my legs!

AlaskaNebraska · 13/06/2010 17:13

ooh yes although if i was VERY hairy i would do arms i think

I'm alright shaving the back of my calves, knees but I maange to always leave a little bit of hair just at the ankle at the back, very decorative.

Don't think I can shave the back of my thighs. Too stiff these days, maybe when I was younger

The hairs on my thighs (in the middle) are going darker though strangely. They used to be fine and blonde.

ZZZenAgain · 13/06/2010 17:16

I always draw blopd if I shave my legs. I think I am too impatient for it

ZZZenAgain · 13/06/2010 17:16

blood I draw blood. My own I hasten to add

ZZZenAgain · 13/06/2010 17:18

I know place I first went to ever get a leg wax ,woman told me they get quite a few schoolgirls who get their chest waxed even. Depnds how hairy you are. Wouldn'ttry shaving my chest personally.

Wouldn't like to be that hairy.

funnysinthegarden · 13/06/2010 17:18

eh? How odd

AlaskaNebraska · 13/06/2010 17:18

OMG

Wish I had the choice. Could plait my inner thigh hair.

Back of thighs easy peasy - lie in bath, one knee on chest with foot pointing to ceiling .. hey presto, back of thigh revealed and skin stretched taut ready for razor.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 13/06/2010 17:24

jeez chest waxing girls

IndigoSky · 13/06/2010 17:26

Just above knee. Have only got very fair and thin downy hair above my knee so no point removing it.

DarrellRivers · 13/06/2010 17:34

New Yorkers routinely wax their arms, I am led to believe (waits for hordes of New Yorkers to dispel the myth)
They thought Plum Sykes was ungroomed when she went to work there
Someone had to have a quiet word with her about her disheveled appearance

expatinscotland · 13/06/2010 17:37

No, I wax them.

And my arms, too.

In fact, I wax most of my body.

Myself.

I've been doing it for years, too, before it became fashionable.

I do it because I love pain.

And I have light skin and tons of dark body hair.

CantSupinate · 13/06/2010 17:40

Only below knees, and am rather sporadic about that, tbh.
I don't have hardly any hair above knees do other people? Some scragglers near the groin, but below them and until the bottom of my knee nothing.

expatinscotland · 13/06/2010 17:41

'I don't have hardly any hair above knees -- do other people?'

Yes. Many have lots of hair.

DarrellRivers · 13/06/2010 17:42

Culturally it differs as well, ie arm hair varies
Mine is non-existent on my arms, but I have friends who say without intervention they are vvv hairy
Expat, I am believing you on the pain front

LynetteScavo · 13/06/2010 17:44

Well, lucky you lot not needing to shave your thighs!

I bleach the hair on my arms though. Looks great with a tan.

expatinscotland · 13/06/2010 17:44

I think over the years I've killed off enough of the hair follicles, but I have millions of them, that it's not quite so painful.

But for me, it's cheap and quick to do.

A Pakistani friend of mine sugar waxes most of her body hair. She's also quite hairy.

As long as the wax is the right temp, what's a few layers of skin cells?

AlaskaNebraska · 13/06/2010 17:44

lol at this

OP posts:
AlaskaNebraska · 13/06/2010 17:45

lynette you belach your hair to make it stand OUT on your arms?
wow

OP posts:
expatinscotland · 13/06/2010 17:46

If I had that little hair on my arms I wouldn't bother waxing them.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 13/06/2010 17:47

To just above the knee.

when I bother at all, of course.

If I started doing the thighs as well, I'd have to get in a gardener and have him do me with a ride on petrol mower!
