How many women don't shave their legs and/or armpits?

Contributor: P'Gell P'Gell
I started shaving arm pits and legs (the entire leg) at about 12, I should have started earlier, as I am Mediteranan and have course body hair.

I have gone through phases where I didn't shave much. My Man never minded. He isn't one for "Manscaping" so he's never said anything and it doesn't seem to bother him.

I didn't regularly shave my pubes until about 5 years ago. I had worn a pair of short shorts and my husband said one of his buddies saw my pubic hair (he was just informing me. He isn't the kind of man who has a filter. He says what he thinks.) I got embarrassed (yes it can happen) and I just started trimming up, and ended up about a year or less later just taking it all off. I like it that way, and if I shave every time I bathe, it isn't a problem to keep up anymore. The "bumps" only lasted a few months, and my skin has toughened up, and I have nice products to help from Eden. (After Shave Oil and Coochie Powder)

My Man and I used to be Dead Heads (a lot of our kids' friends ask, "Are your parents real hippies? Cool!") and I've gone through phases where I didn't shave anything ever.

My Man has always been great about how ever I like my body.

Body hair doesn't bother me at all. It's just part of what we are made of. Humans have as many hair follicles as chimpanzees, we just have softer "fur." Body hair shouldn't be something to be ashamed of, and I think everyone should make their own decisions on what they like for their OWN body.

I'm single and I wear pants and polos to work, so I don't have to shave unless I have plans with friends. But I do shave at least once a week so it does not get out of hand. :p

I wear tank tops a lot, and like to wear skirts without hose, so I wax

I shave my arm pits regularly. But my legs, psh, if I'm not getting laid, or wearing short or capris, I'll got a few weeks at times without shaving.

I shave pits, legs and genital area about 2-3 times a week on average.

I shave once or twice a week, I don't know if that's frequent or not. I like feeling smooth, but dislike the itchiness and in grown hairs. I was teased for having hairy legs in my pre-teens, and I really don't want to go through that again (though comments might be made behind my back instead). My boyfriend says that he wouldn't mind if I stopped shaving.
