Considering how werewolf-like hairy my legs are, it's a wonder my arms aren't the same but they're not. Bizarre. I'm not exactly Mr Tumnus but...

Seriously, I shave my lower leg every day (in the summer) but only do my thighs (including at the back) about two or three times a week. Upper inner thigh gets some corkers!

BelleDameSansMerci · 13/06/2010 17:50

werewolf like even!

ZZZenAgain · 13/06/2010 17:51

I never used to bother with my arms. In Germany it is very common. People have this image of women with hairy legs in Birkenstocks but these days they wax/shave

When you think about it, if you do get noticably hairy, it is odd to have smooth hairless legs and hairy arms. My arms don't get that hairy but I like it better now smooth. It doesn't look like a plucked chicken to me, actually I find it better now

DuelingFanjo · 13/06/2010 17:52

I only shave them a few times a year on teh front and up to the knee. I have never had to shave the back.

I don't have hairy arms and would never shave them anyway.

"where do you draw theline "

Are you supposed to draw a line first? Bugger! I've always done it freehand. Yes another way in which I am unfeminine and lacking in grooming.

GoodDaysBadDays · 13/06/2010 18:01

Like Belle I shave lower leg every day, upper a couple of times a week

And i'm one of those hairy freaks that shaves my arms too, started at about 13 and no they don't look spotty, just smooth and hairless

I treat myself to a brazillian (or is it called a hollywood now?) wax when i want to treat myself

My eyebrows are hideous and waxed regularly too

That huge carwash hair removing machine you thought of Alaska sounds great, where can i find one?

I worry about waxing myself EXPAT! I think I am such a wimp that I would put the wax on and be too scared to take it off and then be screeching round the house with flappy bits of waxy paper on my legs.

Then the wax would set and I would end up in A&E with half my leg coming off! Those are my true thoughts on homewaxing!

biddyofsuburbia · 13/06/2010 18:05

I shaved right up to my wooh wah the other day and I really really really wish I hadn't..

ZZZenAgain · 13/06/2010 18:06

itchy?

wouldn't tweezers do it for your big toes?

JulesJules · 13/06/2010 18:12

I think if you wanted to be completely hairless, it would be great if you could dip yourself in a wax bath and then have little pixies or elves whipping it off... while you go "oh, oh, ow OW OW oh, oh " etc

Better than a carwash, because you could have scented candles and woo music. Think fairy spa.

In RL, I have never even considered shaving the backs of my thighs.

Collision · 13/06/2010 18:13

JulesJules - you would if you had thick black pubic hairs from your knee to your fanjo!

noddyholder · 13/06/2010 18:13

I do the whole leg thigh to foot.not v hairy habit really.

Moneyspider · 13/06/2010 18:21

I've just measured and I do to 4 inches above knee.

Re arms- has anyone else's armhair just, well, disappeared really? I used to have quite hairy arms but has vanished over last few years

squeaver · 13/06/2010 18:22

Just above my knees. Can't stand hairy knees.

I get into trouble when I do the same with fake tan, then go swimming. Has happened more than once - what an arse I look.

I have a VERY hairy friend who has been full body lasered. Says it's the best thing she ever did.

OopsDoneItAgain · 13/06/2010 18:22

Do people not realise how hairy some of us are? Over the years I have simply started at the bottom (that is, toes, upper feet, lower and upper legs of course) and had to just keep going up. So tummy too, with a line of hair that went up to my boobs. Ah yes, then theres the nipple hairs. Loved those. Then neck, chin, upper lip...

I have no place to draw a line, I am pretty hairy all over.

I have been lucky tho and been able to throw money at it so over the years have waxed myself senseless, had electrolysis and laser hair removal too.

Am merely a bit fluffy these days

squeaver · 13/06/2010 18:24

I am very fair and have often wondered what would have happened if I'd just followed my mother's advice and never shaved at all.

Moneyspider · 13/06/2010 18:51

yy squeaver. I was always much influenced by the girl in Flowers in the Attic who iirc grew two hairs for every one plucked...
