Ladies that shave their legs, do you just do to the knee or the whole leg?
Do you worry if you've missed a bit? (pre lockdown when we could meet) I get very paranoid if I discover I've missed a bit.
Guys, do you actually care? |

Just above the knee when I'm wearing something that will show off my calves. All the way up if I'm anticipating lingerie or naked time.
Utterly, utterly paranoid, and I beat myself up when I find any missed spots. |

"I do up to and including the knee, my thighs aren't hairy.
I try not to miss a spot, but if I do it's not the end of the world  "
Mine never used to be but the back of them are, someone pointed it out once and now I get really paranoid over it |

"I do the whole leg but I'm not that bothered if I miss a bit. I'll get it next time.
Wish I could be not bothered, it really stresses me out
Why?"
I don't actually know  I'm naturally quite hairy and it's dark, I suppose I just feel really self conscious about it |

"If you always just stop at the knee do you not walk around with what looks like a hairy pair of shorts on OP? "
Probably. Does it bother you though? |

"To just above the knee... I have next to no hairs on my thighs 
There are more hairs on my forearms than my thighs... just compared!   "
I shave my forearms and my thighs  . It's funny how I shave more than others but am less bothered about missing any. Interesting. |

I’m not in a position to criticise a lady about her leg hair nor would I. A little bit missed isn’t a deal breaker |

My body hair is very dark too and I'm very pale. It used to bother me more when I was younger. I had an ex when I was about 21 who would point it out. I'm not sure why but I've stopped caring about it and I'd tell him where to go if it was now. I shave because I like the feeling. Other people aren't entitled to my body being how they want. It they don't like it then that's fine, doesn't mean I have to change to suit them. |

I go from my toes to just over my knees, but don’t have to shave often as I’m not that hairy ( I think due to years of waxing)
I honestly don’t think my hubby is that bothered, Maybe women are more critical than the men!?
It bothers me a little when I miss a bit, but soon get over it!

See, I agree with this too, but I still haven't escaped the teenage existential horror of being caught with hair on my legs. |

Agreed. Suppose I need to learn to not give a shit. I certainly don't do anything else for other people so I don't know why this bothers me so much |

Yeah, I shave everywhere. Even places you didn't know could spout hair, do. I have pcos so I get really thick, dark wiry hair if I don't. I think it's more habit now. I also don't want to have more body hair than my partner (internalised societal ideas of femininity). |

I pretty much only shave the fronts of lowers legs and the back of my thighs, unless there’s any fuzz there to get. I’m not very hairy on my legs at all. If I miss a spot I’m really not all that bothered.

I'm not that bothered about keeping on top of it but I do prefer the feel of them smooth. |

Just do it . I go to work with stubly armpits sometimes. It's never been mentioned. My colleagues still love me . Maybe it's like aversion therapy? Once you've done it a few times you realise most people really aren't that bothered. With leg hair especially you mostly don't notice unless you look closely. I did a whole day of modelling and various outfit changes with another woman and only noticed she had hairy legs when she pointed it out to me. |

Also. Fucking facial hair.
I wax, and tweeze, and then when my skin starts to protest at all of that shit, then I shave the remnants off.
My facial hair is not a moral failing but oh god I hate it so and it makes me feel terrible about myself. |

Yes, it is. I'm allergic to wax though. |

My first two Fab meets I had full bushy underarms (like, black, long. Had an injury and couldn't shave for a good long while)
I live with the shame of being an inadequate woman re my facial hair most days because getting rid of all of it usually leads to bleeding, but... I still feel worth a whole lot less.
And I know this is stupid and I know what I'd tell anyone else, but I can't apply the same to myself. It's a thing I live with. |

I heard some women on a show talk about the joys of menopause years ago. "I developed a whisker on my chin! Menopause means facial hair!"
... I've had whiskers plural since fucking puberty. |

Shaved for naked time

Sound like the female equivalent of goatee or mustache |

Nah I think most women just don't talk about it. Me and my friends are pretty open and honestly nearly all of them do some form of upper lip bleaching/waxing/plucking. Age can be a factor in it getting worse dye to hormones but it's a lot more common than we think I reckon. |

Not blonde, but my hair goes really light in the sun. I’ve never dyed my hair because, although I have a lot of it, the strands are pretty fine and I’m conscious about damaging it. My body hair is really fine too. Except for one thick black hair that grows out of my neck every month! |

Ladies, I'm a skin specialist. If you pluck, wax the hair you ar changing it from being a vellous hair to a terminal growing hair as you are altering the structure of the root. Not possible atm but look into dermaplaning as this will remove the hair without causing it to grow more vigorously. I'm a hairy lady thanks to an italian dad so I feel your pain x |

I've had them about 5 years ish, the more I pluck, the more I notice. Resorting to more extreme measures now before I look like a dude |

This is true, it's something my girlfriends have only started talking about recently. Some are very open, others not so much so. I got laughed at the first time I told them I plucked a hair from my chin I think my hormones are broken
I have a random long one that grows out my forehead and another from my arm. I also get random extra curly hairs on my head like afro hair. Follicles are weird!"
They definitely are! |

I shave to the knee, and I hate it when I notice a bit that I've missed. I feel that it's very off putting, even though it's never been mentioned to me by a meet.
I think it goes back to teenage years when the bitchy girls were overly critical of girls who hadn't started shaving their legs so I'm really conscious of it now. |

Yes, I think teenagers haunt a lot of us. I wasn't allowed to start shaving until a couple of years after my leg hair went from peach fuzz to dark and... kids are fucking horrible. |

I've never done above my knees and the hair there is barely noticable.
Below is an entirely different ball game! I get less hair now that I've been epilating for years but what does come through is dark and spiky.
Oh mostly, IDGAF.

Shave all over. Had to shave the thighs for my tattoos and since having them I show my legs a lot more, also because of my hobby I have to as the camera picks up everything. Looks better x Viv x |

"Really appreciate everyone's replies, thank you ladies. I feel slightly less freakish now  "
You're definitely not freakish at all Sparkles. It's nice to know that my permafur doesn't just plague me. |

My brother almost literally has fur. I'm not quite that bad, because you know, he's a man, but I've definitely got the female version.
It plagues me, but not as the bitch in my head shaming me for how my body is. |

"I do the whole leg but I'm not that bothered if I miss a bit. I'll get it next time.
Wish I could be not bothered, it really stresses me out
Why?
I don't actually know I'm naturally quite hairy and it's dark, I suppose I just feel really self conscious about it
My body hair is very dark too and I'm very pale. It used to bother me more when I was younger. I had an ex when I was about 21 who would point it out. I'm not sure why but I've stopped caring about it and I'd tell him where to go if it was now. I shave because I like the feeling. Other people aren't entitled to my body being how they want. It they don't like it then that's fine, doesn't mean I have to change to suit them."
Good for you If they don’t like it, it’s their problem and you shouldn’t change cos of them. |

We're all allowed our preferences but not to shame others for not meeting them or expect others to change to meet them. |

I love the feel of a woman shaved/waxed in any part of her body, not sure I like the look of a pussy shaved so much over say a design like a landing strip etc. Shaved pussy has a pre111pubescent look to me I'm not so keen on, ha, who knew |

"Also. Fucking facial hair.
I wax, and tweeze, and then when my skin starts to protest at all of that shit, then I shave the remnants off.
My facial hair is not a moral failing but oh god I hate it so and it makes me feel terrible about myself."
I get a little moustache and hairs grow from the mole under my chin but this is pretty common with most women I know. I just leave it alone mostly as my face is sensitive and waxing and plucking irritates it too much. I also get stray nipple hairs too that need plucking once a month.
It's shite that we feel ashamed of these things, but honestly, I bet nobody even notices it as much as we do. I rem_mber my partner going crazy at me when I started waxing my little moustache and he was adamant that there was nothing there!
I'm really interested in trying dermaplaning.

I think you're right that people probably don't notice them. I know it's there so it's bothers me to the point it's all I can think about. |

Kids can be, especially when we internalise those insults so the bitch in our heads take on their voices |

"Ladies that shave their legs, do you just do to the knee or the whole leg?
Do you worry if you've missed a bit? (pre lockdown when we could meet) I get very paranoid if I discover I've missed a bit.
Guys, do you actually care? "
I starts at my toes, and i ends at my nose... |

I used get everything waxed from the waist down apart from a bit. Plus my arms and underarms.
I've now lasered it and it feels so much better. I could get away with not shaving at all but I do every now couple of weeks because I like it to be perfect.
I cannot put words how much i hated it. |

I personally dont mind whether you are shaved or not, if you are comfortable with it then i am! I would certainly not shy away from a meet if hairy legs were to be revealed. More important than a bit of body hair is hygeine. |
