Baring leg hair

This makes me smile.

Fuck razors and bras.. liberate yourselves, girls!

 

Agreed.

 

Hurray! It's great to see a thread like this, that celebrates women's natural beauty! It's taken me a while to accept my body hair -- because of all the negative messages I've received from society. I don't like shaving or waxing, it feels unnatural. I feel so much better now, and more beautiful, too.

I don't personally like shorts -- I love long flowy skirts. They are pretty! Plus skirts are more comfortable for me than shorts or pants because they move around and allow air to circulate naturally. Ever worn a skirt commando? (First time I did was at the beach, when I accidentally soaked my underwear -- so I threw them away. Was much more comfortable.) But I do wear short sleeved and sleeveless shirts all the time, so I'm not exactly hiding my armpit hair.

That's so interesting, the way the hair grows -- on my legs the hair is really dark and kind of wiry right around the ankles, then lighter as it goes upwards, and the hair on my thighs is very soft and so pale you can hardly see it. I've always thought it was kind of funny. It's sad, by shaving off all our hair we miss these little quirks and individualities about our bodies and other people's.

Well, I do shaving my legs, arms, armpits etc.. but I am transgender and born in al male body..So for others it might be a little bit strange.. but for me it feels good, very good.. I love my body better without hair..
I often wear short trousers and shirts, but here ( Holland) nobody looks or stares.. luckily..

 

Very true, the Dutch are the best. I have been to Amsterdam 6 times as well as other areas of the Netherlands. Your society is the most open minded and wonderful culture I have ever encountered.

 

Thanks for posting, and yes modern society overlooks so much.

 

I would love to find a nice hairy, all natural, jam band chick. But, being in high school all I see are these girls that all virtually look the same ! plus it's all fake, tons of makeup. It is so hard to find a girl that doesn't wear makeup let alone not shave her arms, legs, pits. What ever though, their choice, however I think they are being misinformed by these corporations into thinking that they have to shave. It is so taboo, if I even say that I like girls that don't shave I about get hanged and it upsets everyone, men and women. I just don't understand, they make me seem like the bad guy, when it is these corporations controlling them, not me! I even get a bunch of crap from everyone about having "hairy legs." I tell them if that is what my body gave me I want it ! I accept myself for who and what I am and not try to hide it. Embrace natural beauty ! Mind you I figured all this out and a lot more about humans and the way I want to live my life when I took mushrooms, really opened my mind, it was a massive rush of thoughts. Anyone with me ?

 

ur so cute sacred haze...

i agree w/ much of what you say!
I quite shaving some years back and the reaction of most people makes me laugh now and days....
Mostly women and quite a few men think it's absolutely disgusting. More men are accepting than women. Which surprises me. The other half think it would make them gay or something by being w/ a hairy woman. It scares them a little I think. Conditioning I suppose.

But , I love being hairy and I'm not afraid to stink just a little bit!

 

Wait.. you're male & they're pressuring you to shave? That's odd.. it's considered completely taboo for a guy to shave here in redneckville California. Homophobes consider a man who removes his body hair homosexual or something along those lines.. it's all ridiculous, it really is.

I agree with you, though.. I'm in the highschool scene, too, and so I've seen everything you've described. Our generation completely & totally sickens me.. so many aspects of it.. I mean, this is only one aspect. I can't stand the carelessly media-controlled girls at our school who are afraid to be an individual and waste their parent's money on rich-kid clothes, hairstyles, makeup (ooohhh, the Sephora makeup.. arghh..) and gadgets to become accepted. Or how about the guys who feel that they have to dress like a gangster and take interest in violence and material posessions to feel accepted? I mean, I honestly don't know if it's the media-controlled girls or the media-controlled guys who are worse.. it's probably about the same. Yeah, I've fallen and ended up in weird society-created cliques but I've come to accept myself. I've figured out that societys weird.

Yeah, I have hairy legs, I have hairy pits, and I have hairy pubes. I get ridiculed constantly. But guess what? That's how I like it so that's how it's gonna be. Just recently I've realized that I want to live like I was meant to live because life is too short to worry about the popularity contest that is high school. I can't say I haven't been tempted to conform on the hard days.. I get a lot of shit from people at school and from my parents.. but I don't think I could conform. I get a lot of support from my boyfriend who thinks I'm beautiful for who I am as opposed to who society thinks I should be. I'm too content with being natural right now to give it all up. It's rare in the highschool scene to find individuals but keep lookin', hon. Trust me.. there are a few.. you're probably just looking in the wrong places !

Good luck finding your hairy, jam-band girl, ScaredHaze!

 

I have had hard days too. Most of them were in the beginning...How long have you been a hairy mama? After about a year or so , everyone realized it wasn't a fad and then they all gave up makin their comments and all.. They still might think it is gross, but they accept me for who I am now. Especially my parents. That makes me smile because I love them so much, and want them to understand me and love me JUST THE WAY I AM...
too be honest. I don't usually get looks from people in public cause usually they cannot tell cause I don't walk around w/ my arms up ya know...summer time can be hard though -due to skirts and shorts, but, i guess I just got used to it... I really love seeing you h.s. age heads because it gives me hope for the future! keep on rockin' mama..

and btw jambands ROCK!

 

Yeah, I've been a hairy mama for quite a while now.. can't count how long, actually..

I think the reason I get a lot of disrespect for it is because I'm in high school.. high school kids are awfully impressionable and anything out of the ordinary strikes them as weird. That's okay.. I know they're used to it whether they like it or not.

You're lucky. I don't think my parents have much respect for my decisions.. especially regarding appearance.. but I love them dearly and I know they love me, too.

 

I love my hairy legs!!!!
wouldn't have them any other way

 

i've been going quite a while without shaving. ehh until around 3 weeks ago, i hadn't shaved in around 8-9 weeks. i did it because i was tired of hearing stupid prissy girls talk about my legs in p.e., but i'm starting up again. it's a waste of time, and who cares? they are my legs. i have actually find i don't get as cold believe it or not.
i shave my underarms around 2-3x a week.
it's my business.

 

This thread is great. I'm glad to find so many other women who go natural. When I was in my early to mid teens, I shaved a lot because I fed into western society's belief that hairy was bad. Finally, I just got fed up with it. I had always disliked both the act of shaving and the way it felt to be shaved. One day I just stopped. I've shaved three times in the past five years. Each time it was during an extreme heat wave in the summer. I regretted it each time, so I don't do it any more. The only exception is the hair on my head. I don't like having to take so much time and trouble with it and it feels weird for me to have it long, so I keep that cut short. I'm not critical of people who do shave though-- to each his own. I've gotten a lot of people criticizing me-- especially in family and random strangers. But my friends are fine with it and very accepting. My husband is wonderful. He thinks hairy women are beautiful, and he completely respects my choice.

 

I'm 100% natural. I don't shave anywhere. I think I am beautiful eactly the way I was born and I love everyone who feels the same way

 

One of the best things about the 60's and 70's was women who abandoned the razor. I wish that was still the case,, but we have become a shaved society. The natural look on a woman is both natural and sensual, and I yearn for the time when women will stop this shaving nonsense, and go back to letting it all grow out.. whether its armpit, leg , or pubic hair, it looks wonderful to me..
