ROTFL, when I saw the thread title I thought it was fake.  I had no idea this was done!

 

But, I just took off my sock to look at my toes, and I don't have any hair on my toes.  So I guess I've never had the need, lol.

Whenever the mood strikes. I've never noticed whether other women have it. Just, randomly, I noticed it one day and gave it a swipe. I do have a few breast hairs, but they went away while I was pregnant and nursing. When they came back, they came back lighter.

 

I agree that this thread is hilarious!

I've been plucking my toe hairs since I was very young. And the few that grow on top of my feet. orngtongue.gif

 

As previously asked - I do shave my fingers and arms though I'm mostly fair-haired. I have subdermal implants in both forearms that aren't nearly as pretty covered in hair. Before I got them I never shaved arms/hands/fingers.

Shaving my legs used to be this nice, ritualistic thing I did with myself, and shaving all of my toes was a part of it.  This started in puberty.  During this time, I also shaved my arms occasionally.  I would also shave around my nipples if I noticed any hairs.  I have also shaved my tummy on occasion, usually after shaving my "treasure trail" & then noticing the regular downy hair then looked out of place!  I think my hairs WERE darker then, perhaps because of puberty hormones?

 

Now, I shave more rarely, and I'd be more inclined to pluck only the hairs on my big toes, but I haven't noticed enough to bother in the last few years.  There HAVE been times when it's gotten uncomfortable smushed inside of tighter socks or tights/stockings & I've plucked them (or actually gone at them with nail clippers, if I was uncomfortable & out in public at the time!).  It's for the same reason that I trim my pubic area semi-regularly; if I don't, I get the panty-equivalent of "hat hair" & it's very uncomfortable & I spend too much time scratching my mound or combing & brushing my mound whenever I pull my underwear down (I call it "panty p***y" (to match the aliteration of "hat hair") but DH thinks that sounds like some horrible disease)!  Plus, it ends up looking weird & not all going in the right direction, even if I try combing it before putting my underwear on after I shower; even if I blowdry it *blush* after a shower.  Trimming is easier than all that mess!

 

I do regularly pluck the dark & coarse hairs from my "treasure trail" & around my nipples.  I have also been horrified to learn that your nipple hair (can?) turns grey!  I have 2 grey hairs in my pubic (almost wrote "public" there - hahaha!) region, on the mons, and I have 1 grey hair (so far *sigh*) on my left nipple area.  While I have no trouble picturing myself with grey head hairs later in life (esp since I have so much already!), I just can't get used to the idea that someday I will apparently have grey pubes!

 

Oh, no one told me to shave my toes, it was just something I started doing when I was luxuriating in the leg-shaving process as a youngster. :)  I really did enjoy REALLY taking my time shaving my ENTIRE leg as a youth.  I'd fill the tub a bit after I was mostly showered & have the radio on & spend a good half hour (maybe more?) shaving my legs. *sheesh*  I wish I had that kind of time & patience these days!

I read the thread title and thought, "what on earth? like shave the skin off?"  I am glad I am not the only one who didn't even know about this!  I have seen hair on guy's toes.. but I honestly had no idea that women grew hair on their toes.  After I clicked on this I checked.. and I have nothing on my toes, just like that other person said.  So most women do have hair on their toes?? I also didn't realize people shaved their arms like on person mentioned.  I have to look very very close to even see the hair on my arms.
