Why do you shave?

Question

So, recently I gained the guts to stop shaving my legs. I started because in middle school some of my "friends" were picking on me for having body hair. I've never enjoyed shaving, so I figured I'd just stop. Not to say there's anything wrong with shaving, but I feel like it's pushed on women as a mandatory thing, and I personally didn't like the pressure or the experience. I'm very curious as to the rationale of you lovely people. Do you enjoy it? And if you wax, feel free to include your reasons for that as well! Thanks in advance for any responses! Please avoid judging others.

Answer

I hate when my legs are hairy and they touch each other. Absolutely hate it! I'm just not a fan of body hair

Answer

I personally feel the same way as you do or did. And even now when I stop shaving during the fall and winter my littler sisters consider me gross just because it is pushed on women that is something that you do once you get to a certain age or have so much hair. So they shave almost every day. And I'm just like do you think cave women shaved every day?? No. They didn't. And I'm fine with it because personally in the fall and winter I put on so many layers No one is gonna see my legs or any thing else. So why not enjoy not having the responsibly for once?

Answer

I shave when I feel like it.

My husband and I have an agreement, he can ask me to shave so long as he's willing to do the same ?

I hate the shaving part but I love my skin feeling soft and silky,

I shave occasionally, once they get so long that it bugs me. Or if I'm having to wear a dress that shows leg.

Answer

I was reading a very interesting article lately that basically said shaving was pushed upon women in the 1950s for the first time as a marketing ploy to increase a company's razor sales. Before that, there was NO removal of body hair on women. Darn that company! (I am 6ft tall with 38" long legs.....I HATE shaving!)

Answer

Eh. I shave maybe once or twice a week. (legs and under arms)... Once it gets really prickly, it has to go.

I usually only shave my bikini area once a month. When my period comes, it's just a lot more sanitary for me. I bleed heavily, I know, *******tmi, but I remember being younger, and (my mom and I never had a period talk...) And my blood dried up in some of my pubic hair. I think I was 11 and mortified... Lol.

Answer

I wax my whole body! I'm not a hairy person either I just love how it makes me feel. Super sexy feminine, and my sink feels/looks great. And of coarse my man enjoys it too ?
