I find -my- ideas on wahts attractive from myself, not from what people say I should or shouldnt do, be it cosmo or "hippiedom"
I barely shave. I only shave when I'm in a bad mood. I dunno why my mood dictates my hairyness, but it does. Hair never bothered me. If a man can be hairy, then why can't i? It never bothered me when someone says something about my hairy armpits and legs. Plus, my skin is uber sensitive and shaving hurts. I do keep my pubic area tammed though.
Same for me. I'm usually anti-shave, occasional trimmer, but if I get some weird hormonal shift I get all self concious & start letting others dictate what I think is "pretty". I cover it up mostly at school though because even though I only have one year left people can be TOTAL assholes about hair. I'm not like some uber-mediterrenean or something, so I don't think it's a big deal...but I have definately gotten some looks. My hair is light brown, I mean c'mon. :H I mostly do it for my boyfriend 'cause he likes it, but I totally can't dig the social presure on chicks.
I like to shave, because I like shaving cream... silly I know, but ever since I was little I've liked it. So, I look at shaving as fun, and not a chore. And I don't care what other people think, I feel my legs the most, and I like them to feel smooth. Summer I shave every day. In the winter I don't shave as much because I'm usually wearing pantyhose or pants, but I still shave my legs about once a week.
If Cosmo said shaving was out I would still shave! Having bristly, thick, wirey dark hairs all over my body is just uncomfortable and itchy! It's much more comfortable for me to shave or else I give myself rugburns! Screw fashion.. I'm all about the comfort.
I don't shave anymore. I stopped shaving in May of this year. I am not shy about having hair on my legs. I wish I never started.
I have really light hair, which is kinda weird for me cause the hari on my head is dark but on my legs its like...non existant. It also grows back very slowly. Like I only have to shave maybe once ever two weeks? I shave my underarms when it looks gross. I think body hair is just icky. I dunno I just don't like it. It bugs me.
I shave my legs usually only if I'm going swimming or wearing a skirt. Armpits if I'm wearing a tank top or it gets really long. Bikini line normally only if I'm going swimming. So basically, I shave what's gonna show.
I shave pretty much only when I know for sure someone is going to see it. I basically go by the wishes of my partner. I don't care so much either way. Hairy armpits are bad though. I wouldn't want that.
I always shave under my arms. My legs... I get lazy. Once a week at the least. Unless it's winter and I'm not getting any... then it gets ignored. My vag, well, that's either really, really short and "fuzzy", I guess, or completely bare. I do what makes me feel comfortable.
I just realized the other day that my leg hair is about 1/2 inch long. It takes me a while to notice b/c my hair is so light and fine and also it only grows on my shins... I guess I am lucky. But really I shave everything if I remember. I don't like hair so much.
I used do the hair removal thing religiously, even in the winter. But now I realize its just nicer to shave if I have a really special occasion .. and mainly keep it for the summer time. I don't bother with my legs much and I only shave my pits if they will be seen... even at that my boyfriend doesn't really care. and it doesn't really show on my legs because i have tanned skin...I find it makes my hair grow back faster and faster if I continue.. so I'd rather enjoy super smooth legs for special occasions.
