@women who shave their legs
(Anonymous) 2017-07-19 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)Do you shave your thighs too?? I usually only shave the dark hairs on my lower leg because the ones on my thigh are fine and barely visible but I've gotten the impression that that is not normal?
Mind I know it's our bodies yada yada I just want to know what thee "socially acceptable" version is...

I mean, it's really just a matter of personal preference. I remember a quote from Reba along the lines of like "My momma always told me, 'never shave above the knee unless you're expecting company.'"

(Anonymous) 2017-07-19 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)Also, this thread randomly reminded me of that episode of Bob's Burgers where Linda's teaching Tina to shave her legs and tells her, "Only strippers shave above the knee. The good ones anyway."

Re: @women who shave their legs
The hair was never all that thick or dark there, anyway.

Re: @women who shave their legs
(Anonymous) 2017-07-20 01:16 am (UTC)(link)The hair on my thighs is definitely a lot finer, but still visible, and my bikini line definitely requires pruning if I want to wear a bathing suit. I shave those areas less, though, because they just don't get exposed as often.
It's really not about what's normal, but rather what's practical and what pleases you. My mom would shave her legs right after showering by raking a single-blade razor over her skin really quickly and forcefully. It worked fine for her, but it gave me razor burn and ingrown hairs. Took me years to get the hang of shaving because it took me that long to grasp that the way my mother did it was not the only way and not the way that was going to work for me.
Not that unusual

Re: @women who shave their legs
(Anonymous) 2017-07-20 03:35 am (UTC)(link)I usually wear slacks at work, and generally don't have enough fucks for when I'm going to the beach.
(Since I've stopped shaving, my hair has gotten finer; I can feel it but it's not super-visible.)
Re: @women who shave their legs
(Anonymous) 2017-07-20 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)When I was younger I shaved up my thigh because I enjoyed shaving even if the hair wasn't visible, later I just shaved my calves, then I just stopped giving a fuck. Now I'm hairy and patchy because I'm one of those people who gets bald spots on their calves over time.
Though I have heard before the shaving 'above the knee' is a euphemism for shaving your pubic area. Hence "Only strippers shave above the knee"
