Same, and Im really self-conscience about my hair. Since,Im pale and have BLACK hair. I have a lot of it too. And im only 15. It sucks. So I shave pretty much everything.
I shave my armpits regularly and like to keep my bikini line tidy, but I avoid shaving at all costs for anything else.
I shave everything except my arms...I feel so much fresher shaving. I really hate it when my legs feel all picky with hair. I pretty much shave daily, but it is no biggie since I have done it so long it just takes a few minutes while showering.
there`s no point to hair removal, but i do it anyway. i feel free without hair under arms or at bikini line (i also shave legs). my skin is very sensitive and shaving is the only method i can use.
the feeling of a razor against my skin bugs me out. i guess i can compare it to how some people react when they run their nails accross a chalkboard.
So does that mean you stay naturally furry, or tht you resort to chemicals or plucking instead of shaving?
I just shave my legs, ( used to do my arms because im italian and IT SHOWS!!) and i take a pair of scissors to my pubes to make them less wild
honestly I've started to feel gross whenever i give into social pressures and shave my legs...its just...ick!! i'm smooth and slippery like a reptile..lol partially because i refuse to use lotion. I find that most people don't even notice my hairiness unless i sit down in the sun (i'm so short its impossible to get a close up of my legs unless your a pet lol). as for my cooter...she gets a trim once in awhile.
I had a holistic healer friend of mine (reflexology, could see auro's, ya de ya da) and he told me when you shave or remove the hairs under your arms it causes distress in your body. I think he mentioned the lymp nodes or something. Personally I've never researched it on my own, but maybe I should. when it came to legs he had no idea why we have hair there or if we need it, perhaps for protection if we fall? but anyways... does anyone know what I'm talking about. Noone seems to be discussing health here. He would tell me, "so you would die for beauty?", when it came to issues like this. (he's the one that turned me veggie, bless his heart) It's strange... I don't wear a bra and haven't since I was 14. When I was that age I put up with tremendous shit from peers and others for it, and still stood up for myself, and said if you don't like it to bad. Now noone seems to care.. but for some reason I am uncomfortable being hairy. (and my fiance does not find hairy women attractive) It's a contridiction in beliefs, but I wax and shit. I couldn't tell you why. It's just what seems comfy to me, and to him.
I like to keep everything shaved~it makes me feel cleaner I guess. Plus hair attracts bacteria (armpits, etc.) that can cause odor-so shaving/waxing does have its benifits.
I haven't found huge problems with shaving my legs, really. Sometimes I'll shave my legs, mostly for the fun of silky smoothness.. but.. well, I will admit that that's definitely not often. I'll shave my pubes every so often because... uhhh... well.. I love being pleasured orally and it's much more convienent that way. I prefer when she's hairy as hell, though. But, my pits used to get soo irritated when I shaved them. Something about the shaving opening up the skin & then slapping on chemically deodorant/anti-perspirant made them angry. I haven't shaved them in AGES and don't plan on doing so anytime soon. I think armpit hair is extremely sexy, anyways.
i just shave my armpits, cuz i have an aunt that doesn't and its digusting :ack: but i have fairly light hair on my legs and my logic is that no one cares about the light but plentiful hair on my arms, so they shouldn't care about the hair on my legs either. as for bikini wax, thats just stupid. i wear board shorts anyway.
I have the same problem with my arm hair. It's long and dark and makes me just not feel good. lol. So I shave them. Along with the legs, armpits and bikini. I wish that I just didn't have hair in these places. I like having smooth skin personally and hair just gets in the way of that.
Body hair is also used to keep in our energies. Ask any Yogi if she or he shaves and he or she would tell you that shaving would disrupt our natural energy flows.
I have dark hair, especially on my legs. i once got told i had more hair than someone's dad, i never lived that one down but now it's like a every other day leg shave, arm pits are the same. i use hair remover cream on my stomach cos that decided to be hairy and i pluck my eyebrows about once every 2 weeks. my eyebrows are like scraggy caterpillars with no gap if i don't!
Wax your stomach. Nair shits weak. And will start coming back thicker And plus after waxing the hair starts getting finer. which is a major good thing. Trust me on this. Haha
