[kayleesmom]

How often does everyone here shave? and what do u shave?

Armpits- I shave them every couple days year round.

legs- in winter maybe 1/month unless going somewhere they i need too. Spring Summer every couple days.

Netherregion- I just shaved it for the first time this am. I am sure i will get ingrown hairs etc. didnt get all the hairs but most. Now i am gonna have to figure out the right kinda razor to buy and how often to shave it. I did use hubbys hair trimmers on netherregion when preg though. how much of it do u shave off if u shave down there? On and how often?
O do u wax anything how often?
i get eyebrows waxed when i have the money and upper lip so maybe every few months.

call me the hair hippie but I don't. Got tired of cutting myself to ribbons.

Underarms daily, year round.

Pubic hair every 2 days or so, year round.

Legs every 2-3 days when DH is home, every week or so when he's away for work.

Sometimes arms, tummy, and other random places just for kicks.

[WaitingForKiddos]

Legs and pits, everyday

Pubes, the mons gets done with DP's face clippers every 3 days, everything else gets shaved every other day

Eyebrows, waxed monthly

[nora--not a llama]

We're supposed to shave? Hmm. Who knew?

[CookieMonsterMommy]

Legs: Once or twice a week or less....I've gone months and months and months...I'd grow it long again, except it pulls when I'm in bed or wear certain pants.

Armpits: See above

"Bikini area" Never. I'm not a 10 year old and I don't want to look like one. I've shaved there 3 times in my life. Once out of sheer curiosity, twice for exDP. No more. But I do trim (with scissors) about once every 3-4 weeks. I'm trying not to use tampons so much, and without getting too into it, trimming helps.

Eyebrows: I pluck about 5 hairs from each brow once every week or two.


...Oh, and I might shave my big toe once in a while. It has like, 2 hairs.

Armpits-every other day

Legs-Not too often in the winter, more in the summer

Bikini area-about once a week

Pits, when dd starts playing with the hair while she nurses. It squicks me out.

Legs, one a week now. For some reason in winter I get awful ingrown hairs if I shave daily. My legs were a mess so once a week now.

Toes, when I do my legs. Just the big toes.

Girly bits, I used to be quite well groomed, but sadly it's falled by the wayside. Dh mentioned a few days ago that things were long down there. But really grabbing the trimmer, the extention cord and having dd standing there saying "doing? doing? doing?" the whole time has NO appeal. I don't shave unless I need to for swimming. I'd like to wax, but have no time without dd around to go and get it done.

I am blessed with slow folicles Always have been :

Armpits: Maybe twice a week.

Legs: Okay, outting myself here, but maybe once a month, pretty much no matter what time of the year. I wear capris in the summer, but I really do not feel that anyone should be that close to my legs to see if they are hairy. And my DH doesn't mind it.

Eyebrows: I get them waxed maybe twice a year. They grow so slow.

Upper lip: This I usually use a cream hair remover on, a couple of times a year.

Netherregions: I usually don't do anything to the hair there.

[aaronsmom]

armpits- every few days
legs- almost never....maybe 3 times a year. Doesn't bother me or DH.

[elspethshimon]

I'm so lazy when it comes to shaving.

Armpits: sometimes I let it go weeks, other times I do it every few days

Legs: I've pretty much stopped this winter, but otherwise I do it about once/week sometimes more if I'm wearing skirts in the summer

Eyebrows: I wax them about every 6-8 weeks and usually around the time I'm going on a trip or to present at a conference

Bikini: I get it waxed at the start of each summer.

[Shonahsmom]

Pits: Don't shave

Legs: Sometimes often, like a few times a week, sometimes not for months on end.

Pubic: Never shaved it, but keep it trimmed regularly with lady clippers. Between using a diaphragm and a menstrual cup, it really helps when the hair is short.

[zonapellucida]

maybe once a month

[frog]

I don't shave anything, ever.

[NatureMama3]

count me in the chewbacca group. :

haven't shaved for. um. years.

I was "blessed" with coarse dark hair everywhere on top of medium/light skin. Thank you Portuguese and Irish/Scottish ancestry for that lovely combination. My mom has dark hair too, but at least she has dark skin to sort of hide it. Oh, and PCOS adds to that wonderful mix.

I shave my armpits daily. I stink to high heavens if I don't.

I never shave my legs. I've tried everything - regular razor with all different kinds of creams and lotions, depilatories, electric razor... Everything gives me a horrible reaction. Except Veet wax. And I've only had the guts to use the tiny face strips in little spots on my shins. Everything else I'm terrified of. I keep planning to get buzzed one night and wax all of the hair off, but I haven't done it yet.

I don't shave my bits. I keep them trimmed and neat, but no shaving.

Because of the leg hair thing though I never wear shorts or a swimsuit. I need to just suck it up and wax or embrace my natural self.

LOVE that. I'm stealing it for my sig for a while.

[zexplorers]

pits - just about everyday

legs - everyday in the summer, every 2 or so in the winter unless I'm taking a yoga class and I might just do the part that shows under the capris

bikini - in the winter every few days to clean up the bikini line, everyday in the summer

[GooeyRN]

Pits and legs daily. Neither region-I'm not so good about that. Its been several months. I do my eyebrows about once a month.

[a(TM)?Star]

Armpits and legs, every other day. Pubic region, hm.....right before dh gives me that, em, look.

Added: not that look. Can you shave there? THAT look. wink wink.
