Attitudes to your body hair

I started shaving when I was 8 or 9, I think. I didn't give it much thought until I saw a beautiful sister walking down the sidewalk at a coffee shop I used to frequent. She had a head full of dreads and her legs were as hairy as her husband's. I was curious and the more I thought about it, the more I admired her. After that, I toyed with not shaving my legs anymore. I didn't for a while, but then the hair got caught on everything so I started shaving again. Then I went through a phase where I shaved almost my whole body. I'm coming out of that now,and only shave my legs/pits/pubic area a few times a week.

 

I first started sprouting underarm and leg hair around age 12. I was an avid shaver then, but now, not so much, until I get really hairy.

 

i like to shave all my pubes off sometimes. it is a really nice feeling going bald

 

lol. my husband is furry from the neck down. he has a little on his head (sports a full beard) has quite a bit on his ears and his eyebrows grow like crazy. i keep everything trimmed from the neck up.

chest hair is SEXY. in fact ... i like a man hairy ... balls and all.

 

I'm only fifteen, (yes, a young'n) and I've realized I don't need to shave to feel pretty.
I used to, but I feel absolutely beautiful natural and hairy. My mother does make me shave periodically, though. She's a firm believer in being 'feminine' and 'ladylike'. But what's better than being naturally ladylike? You'd be more of a lady than others perhaps if you didn't shave than those who did because the hair's actually supposed to be there.

But to each her own, right?

 

I don't mind leg hair and don't shave it during the winter. But I don't like pit hair because it produces B.O.

 

That's a fallacy. A lot of women I know who have done both the shaved+ hairy pit options usually find their pits are smellier when shaved. The hair doesn't produce odour, but is a wick for pheromones etc. Provided you shower thoroughly you should be ok.

 

I have always hated hair on my body. I get rid of every tiny miny hair on me. Every single place must be smooth and shiny!

 

i think they just get used to the odor when they have hairy pits, because honestly, it smells HORRIBLE to me. i refuse to go back to hairy pits.

 

Hey, I'm 13 and I've been shaving my legs since I turned 12. I was just thinking that the only reason I started shaving was to impress my peers, because they were doing it. Now I see a few of my friends who don't shave, and I feel sad, because the way I see it, it was the end of my childhood

 

i shave my armpits every time i shower. i shave my legs every few days or when i'm gonna wear shorts. but my legs have such thick / coarse hair that a few days of hair is actually pretty gnarly, haha. i don't shave my pubic hair. i used to all the time because i thought my ex would prefer it that way but i realized that he, and the guy i'm with now, prefer hair, (and so do i, which is what matters.)

 

ive started shaving more often. i think i always will, or at least until it stops itching if i dont shave it. i have to shave everyday or it itches so bad i cant sleep.

 

i have pcos so hair and the removal of it is a pretty massive deal to me. i get my chin and upper lip waxed once a month, use immac on my tummy forearms and back, shave my armpits and legs. i hate body hair on myself but quite like it on other people. but as im sure you can understand a 15 year old walking around as hairy as i am would get bullied greatly. maye when im older i may relax and feel more comfortable with it.

 

i love a woman with hair in her pits and on her legs !

 

Lul.
I think it's ironic. The name/the post.

 

You're so right there!

 

Hi everyone I'm new here, on the subject of body hair I very much so do not like hair on my arm pits and I shave them every few days. When it comes to my legs I will only shave in summer ( i like the extra degree of warmth). However my pubic region has caused ex boyfriends to completely ridicule me because I do not shave or trim. Granted I have shaved occasionally but I don't understand why everyone wanted me to look like a child down there. One boyfriend said I was disgusting and until I shaved he wouldn't go down on me. Needless to say he didn't last every long.

No one ever told me that it was the norm for women to shave down there infact I thought it was rare til I was 19. Anyway to this day I still don't shave down there. I'm married to a man who does shave down there and shaves his arm pits. Yet the fact that I don't shave doesn't bother him in the slightest. Go with what you're comfortable with not with what others want you to be.

 

yes, much better for her to conform to YOUR chosen "nonconformity" than pick her own.

 

I've always had a thing against body hair since i hit puberty. Leg, arm, and crotch. It doesn't bother me to see it on other people... but it grosses me out not having it shaved on me.

 

haven't shaved anything in over three years now....
