wax the thighs and crotch, shave the rest... hair makes you stink. Collects bacteria and stuff - gross!

I second that, with the addition of groomed eyebrows. It's the only way to go for me.

Oh...and waxing is preferred to shaving in all situations.

i'm another one of those "freaks of nature" who really doesn't have any body hair.
my sisters hate me because i don't have to shave my legs... ever. i do... on occasion because i like how shiny they get after you've shaved and then put lotion on. but honestly i would never have to shave my legs and you'd never know i hadn't.

now my pits? i hate hairy armpits... in fact, they gross me out *laugh*... so i do shave them. but i only have to do it like once a week.

i don't liked shaved genitals on either sex... i don't like the stubble... and frankly shaved women makes too much of a "little girl" connection in my head for me to be comfortable with. luckily Willow feels the same and actually begged me not to shave it once when i offered.

The whole shaving thing for women is fascinating to me as in the beginning of the 20th century it was NOT common for american women to shave themselves.

I took a Women's Studies course a number of years ago. Apparently the "shaving craze" really began in World War II when silk stockings became impossible to obtain, and shaving and "leg markup" were substituted.

regardless... i say... "do whatever makes you feel good"

la petite moi

Herherher...I shave my arms, legs [those two occasionally], armpits and nether regions [everyday or two]...and my toes! ::gasp::

I don't shave anything, haven't for two years. I find stubble annoying, and my fuzzy legs are soft! I love my fuzzy legs! As for the stink that comes with armpit hair, in my experience it's not as bad when I am eating healthier foods, and then I honestly don't even need deodorant. I have gotten pretty detoxed and eaten raw foods only, and included with feeling a million times better, I didn't stink( even my crap smelled not as bad). As for my pussy, I find I feel ah, more accessible if I keep it trimmed.

During shorts weather I shave my legs, but during winter Im not as diligent and fortunately my b/f doesnt have a preference. Armpits are a must cause I too get smelly, pussy is a must because I much prefer the way his tongue feels on a shaven area as to when I've gotten lazy and let it grow out AND there is nothing worse than him having to stop to get the hair out of his mouth PLUS there is also less odor "down there" with less hair.

I'm au naturel then.. I don't like shaving, because it's too much work... but then again, I don't even do makeup.

I think armpit hair looks good on girls. It's rebellious!

I tend to get VERY annoyed at guys who thinks ggirls have to shave and they don't. "Girls wear skirts/tops" was a comment.. like guys don't wear shorts or tanktops?

Actually I don't care what my boyfriend thinks about it.. This is me and he'll have to accept it.

i shave my pits b/c they get itchy. legs more often when its warm out

bernadette

arm pits are an aboslute must shave for me.

until about a month ago so were my legs. but i've been having to pull myself together quickly in the mornings lately, so since it's winterish now, i've been skipping the legs. this is the longest i've ever gone without shaving my legs. i'm kinda laughing while watching the hairs grow & begin to get soft & curl.
i'm sure i'll attack them fairly soon tho with the razor.

I'm a shaver. Although I don't have a lot of body hair naturally, I still MUST shave. I like the feel of the smooth skin and I just feel cleaner when I am smooth and silky.

I vary how a I shave my vaginal area. Anywhere from bald to a heart shape to a landing strip. More often than not it is a landing strip that ends right above the clit. Something about that look is seductive to me and my sweetie preferes that too.

I shave twice a week. I also use that shave minimizing lotion and it seems to help. I prefer to be smooth. I might not shave if I could get past the prickly stage, but it bothers me. I never used to wear shorts or skirts, but I started to fairly recently. I'd rather shave than wear pantyhose

ManThingy really doesn't care if I shave or not, so I shave when I feel that I must.

Granted, I tend to thumb my nose at society's expectations of me as a general rule... this is just another prime example. :wink:

I always shave my armpits, but sometimes I am just too lazy to shave my legs.

Yalaynia

I shave I cant stand hair specially on my legs. When I wear shorts it sticks out like a sore thumb. Same with under my arms I would be embarassed to lift my arms and have hair as long as whats on my head under my arms.

I'm one of those lucky ones that don't have to shave my legs because I don't have hair on them and I only get 2 or 3 thin hairs that grow at a time in my armpits so I just pluck them out.

I shave just my lower legs, from my knees down. My thighs are covered with really fine short blond hair that's barely noticeable so I rarely bother messing with it. Definately shave my pits. It's icky dark black there. I have tried depilitory creams and I've tried waxing on my legs. Waxing was so incredibly painful and my hair didn't all come out even. The creams, even for sensitive skin, and even when used for less than the recommended minimum time limit caused me burning. Half of my leg was red and looked almost blistered (it wasn't just inflamed) for 2 days. I can't handle creams. I shave and have gotten really good at it. I usually only nick myself once every couple months or even just a couple times a year. I make sure I use a quality straight razor with disposible blades (not the cheap whole disposible razors) and I change the blades about every 3 full body shaves (or more often) to keep it sharp. The sharper it is, and the fewer times you go over the same area the better the shave and less irritation or ingrown hairs even. I also use an exfoliant in between shaves to keep things from getting ingrown. I don't have too much trouble with ingrown hairs since I started that.

Count me as another "shave everything from the neck down." I absolutely love the feeling of being all smooth and clean and sliding in between clean cotton sheets.

I'm sure it's a societal thing, but I can't *not* shave.
Habit? mebbe

I hate shaving, but I do like the effects when I have shaved, something about being naked and smooth...I do it for myself more than anything else- the hubby doesn't care (he perhaps does about pits), and I only shave when I feel like it anymore. especially because it's winter!

I can't tolerate underarm hair or Chewbacca trying to rest himself on my puss, the legs make me look and feel sexy when they are shaved.
