ROFL!!!! I don't usually shave my arm pits. Once they get past the stubbly stage, I think they're lovely and soft. My husband agrees. ;-) However, one summer I didn't shave my legs and it was a disaster. It's not like I wore short skirts or anything, but I had some capris on at a festival and felt like a total freak. At a festival!?!?! I'd expected to see at least one other gal rocking out the bear legs.

I have a really relaxed attitude to shaving. Sometimes I will go for months at a time without shaving and then one day get the urge and wage war against my body hair for a couple of weeks.

My boyfriend isn't impressed when I go feral but he has no grounds to complain because I was like that when he found me. My lack of shaving for the most part makes it all the more special for him when I finally decide to do it.

I wish I could claim credit for that. They are his words. :)

awesome XD
I don't really shave my legs in the winter if no one will see.
Hair underarms feels really creepy to me so I shave there, but I wonder how that all got started in the first place.. the whole "Women must shave!"

I feel the same, shaving sucks. My leg hairs used to be blonde and now they're totally black and disgusting, so I'm forced to shave now. I let it go for a winter once and even I couldn't stand the sight of it. Plus it sucked when I had to wear pantyhose and stuff like that, the hairs would get all tangled and feel wierd. Otherwise I wouldn't bother shaving my legs... Armpit hair I find a bit gross so I shave mine and I wish guys would shave theirs too, I don't like it on either sex lol. But yeah it is quite strange the way we spend so much time arranging the hairs on our bodies in certain ways, or removing it all together.

Most guys I've met don't like hairy women though :/

Wax!! Just waxing once will get them back to thin little baby hairs, again. I was pretty regularly, and besides that, the hair is also thinning... It's great! But the first time you wax in a really long time does hurt... don't go when you've got extra blood flow going to your lower extremities, if you know what I mean...

I'm in the sometimes camp.  I used to shave multiple times a week, but last year my boyfriend noticed my skin was often dry and cut up so he suggested I cut back a little.  Now I shave maybe once or twice a month, usually when I have some special event going on or just want to feel silky smooth.  I'm not a big fan of hairy legs, though I will say they keep me pretty warm in the winter.  I do really dig my armpit hair though, I think it's a nice accent to my tank tops! And of course I always make sure to keep my nether-regions trimmed if not shaved just out of common courtesy for my man.  ~.^  I guess I don't shave often cause I don't like the hassle and I don't like what being an obsessive shaver does to my skin. 

 

Since I work in the arts no one really says anything about my hairy state, but I can imagine how much it would suck to have people making a big deal about it.  Especially those close to you.  Hopefully they can come to terms with the fact that it's your body and hairiness is totally natural.  I wish you the best of luck!
