When I was still at school and I was still under the bath-every-night regime from my mum, I shaved my legs every day. But at the moment I live in a house with no bath, which means shaving in the shower, which I can't be arsed with. (For a start, balancing while standing on one leg, plus I need glasses to see where I'm shaving, but I can't see if they are wet or steamed up from the shower, so cuts aplenty.) So I'm down to shaving like every three weeks....disgusting huh? Just wondered how often everyone else deals with their leg hair!

ewww! I hate hairy legs! I used to shave mine daily but now it's winter and I'm lazy. But I do manage it at least once a week big_smile

Mistress beau · 09-05-2008 12:12

grrr! Everyday! I have very dark hair. So there is no going without shaving. Unless I'm sick or just don't give a crap. Then I'm like honey, love the spider legs for a night; get em' tomorrow.

Haha I just realized that you live in Australia, because you said it's winter. sourire
WEIRD, how can it be winter, when it's so hot here. We have about 89°F or 32°C right now.

lucky you guys
the UK has just finished what was supposed to be summer. I think we had one day in the 30 degrees and that was it. Then the rain came down...

CandyCotton · 09-05-2008 12:33

tell me about it, I'm sat in Manch and i's pissin down AGAIN.

I shave my legs in the shower, but it's a bath with shower over it so I can put one foot up on the side.

I do it whenever lol, I guess about 2ce a week, but maybe more if I'm off out or wearing a dress etc. My legs don't get too hairy.. I have to do my armpits like every other day though! >;- (

anchoredwunderlust · 09-05-2008 13:46

about one a week or 2... but if im going out then i will do it that morning or the night before, or if im wearing skirts or shorts or whatever, if im seeing people... it depnds really. i dont think it matters much

Cryzilla · 09-05-2008 14:11

I only shave once a week in summer. Once every two weeks in winter. Doesn't really matter as I mostly wear pants, anyway. I don't own any shorts, at all. So the only time people see my legs are in capris, swim suit, or pajamas.

Of course, I have a weird skin disorder more commonly seen in African descendents, where the hair can get ingrown and create infection, so I only get to use electric razors. So no close, smooth legs for me, ever. )=

tikachu · 09-05-2008 15:23

Since I have a boyfriend, I unfortunately have to shave a little bit more often than I would like. I let my hairs grow out one time for 3 months ^_^ it was so extremely gross hahaha. I could feel them catching on my jeans and junk, but it was nice to have the option NOT to shave. Stupid boys.

Anyway, I have noticed since I started using Olay Quench body lotion that I do not have to shave as often. Or maybe I just don't notice the hairs as much. It is phenomenal stuff either way. If anyone has a problem with severely dry legs, which I did, use that stuff.

riverrita · 09-05-2008 15:30

During the summer a shave my legs more often, but in the winter, hey no one else is looking at them but my husband.

blksnobunnie · 09-05-2008 15:36

I dont grow hair on my legs

Mistress beau · 09-05-2008 18:40

Mistress beau · 09-05-2008 18:41

You don't grow hair on ur legs. I wish I had that problem! Shave everyday!

Mimoze · 09-05-2008 20:20

I'm not sure how often I shave mine! I have a bad memory, so I usually forget when I shaved them last. I only started shaving about a month ago, but I haven't kept up with it. I liked it when I had leg hairs. They made my legs feel protected. I dunno why.

lauraabaaby · 09-05-2008 20:27

I shave most days. Im single right now and its cold outside so its less often right now haha. tongue

diax · 09-05-2008 20:26

Nope... my mother and father doesn't have hair on there arms and legs and I got lucky enough not to have have on mines... but my arms that i do shave ... they be wolfing out

BeautyXRush · 09-05-2008 23:35

Every other day, my hair grows faster than the average person. It's probably because I take Adderall. Legally, don't worry I'm not a pill popper.

Haha I do everything in the shower, shave, wash my face, brush my teeth. To me it saves time, but wastes water. Which I can deal with...

LoveYa1 · 09-05-2008 23:42

Id say about once a week, i dont really care cos no one but me sees them, cos im not the typical girly girl, i dont wear skirts or dresses so no one really sees my legs, i still have to shave them or i feel gross lol

Asheya · 09-06-2008 00:00

Every two days, I'd say. I like them smooth and I'm a perfectionist like that, so...

Eviann · 09-06-2008 00:04

I'm very lazy so most times its event oriented. If I'm going to the beach or wearing a skirt. lol. The hair isn't too noticeable so I don't mind it that much. My boyfriend are I are currently on the long distance phase so no worries there! But I guess on average every 2 weeks.

"wolfing out" lol, i like that..very descriptive! mine def do that

i shave a little as possible, which probably averages out (more in summer, less in winter) to around 1/month. there are a few things i want when i finally have a real job, and #1 is laser eye surgery and #2 is head-toe electrolysis, literally. no more shaving, waxing, tweezing or anything else for the rest of my life! i bet it would save me years of my life that otherwise i spend trying to tame this hair! grr.... think it goes with being italian
