What are you concerned about?

My 15 year old ds has just started doing this, I'm pleased he takes care if himself

Totally normal. My ds uses hair removal for sensitive areas

Yep, mine is 20 now and it started around 14/15 years old. Completely normal.

Must be a new thing then!

Yep my 19 year old has been maintaining his body for a few years...does it because he doesn't like being sweaty

ManhattanPopcorn · 12/09/2024 22:24

Yeah, it's the norm these days.

What do you mean you don't know what to do? Why do you need to do anything?

Josette77 · 12/09/2024 22:30

You don't do anything. Let him get on with it.

It's fine. Girls have had the choice to have control over their body hair for decades. If its sweaty, uncomfortable, they don't like the way it looks, why not. Puberty is so hard anyway, so many changes, it might feel better to take some control in a fairly harmless way. I suspect mine will get bored of the maintenance though at some point.
