Body hair on women was a very accepted thing up until the 1920′s. Prior to that decade ALL American women did not shave anywhere on their body. Then the razor blade companies went on a campaign to maximize profits by spreading the lie that leg and underarm hair was “BAD” on women. Women began shaving those areas, but the pubic region remained untouched until the late 1990′s when that lie about body hair spread to the pubic region. This enabled corporations to rake in untold sums on razors, lasers and waxes to satisfy misplaced notions of vanity. Bottom line…the pubic region on both men and women needs to remain unshaven, it was NEVER addressed in the 1920′s as it was a ‘private” area out of public view. Some of the classiest women in history sported full pubic bushes and it is indeed a classic, iconic look on women. It is not “unhygienic”, “bad grooming” or “a 70′s thing”. Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Bettie Page and Elizabeth Taylor all had thick full bushes. Kate Middleton has a full bush and Prince William LOVES it. Leg and underarm hair were never shaven in Europe and it was as accepted as a natural part of a woman’s body. The key is every woman should have CHOICE and not be put down for what she chooses. If you like your legs unshaven, so be it, plenty of men share your like. I am male and I love body hair on women.

I think you just need to be confident in yourself it’s not like leg hair has any effect on what type of a person you are x

I hate that girls are expected to have smooth shaven legs. I didn’t shave until late middle school-early high school because I was comfortable with my legs, I thought they were perfectly fine. But then I got bullied for it while at school and at camp, and started shaving a lot, both legs and underarms. Now I’m 20 I still hate it shaving. I try to not shave as much as I can, though I sometimes feel the need to like for swimming or something in the summer.
I’ve seen my friends shaving the tops of their arms along with their legs and other areas which I just don’t understand.
I don’t see why girls find it gross to have hair and feel the need to shave. You were born with it so why is there such a need to get rid of it…

I have honestly never shaved my legs, and I don’t really want to. I do have issues sometimes with my mother and other family members bringing it up (along with makeup, hair products and other garbage), and it does upset me because they treat it like a bad thing or just as a joke though I know it’s not. Mine is on the slightly darker side, but it’s soft, and I think it would be weird not to have it after living with it for my entire left.

I’ve always hated shaving my legs (so time consuming and expensive), and when I turned 20 I decided “fuck this. I’m not shaving my legs anymore.” It was a bit stubbly for a while, but it’s grown longer and yes, lol, very curly (and pretty thick), but it’s fairly light. I wear short spandex shorts year round at the gym and outside in the summer— I couldn’t care less. I get called a “hippy,” but honestly, I love the extra time, and not being stubbly/sand paper-like all the time. I haven’t looked back since!

You are awesome. I respect you. I’ve NEVER shaved me legs, don’t plan to. I have extremely light hair and its really fine and short. Actually pretty soft. I’m glad to find someone else who thinks all this is overrated.
My neighbor didn’t even notice until I pointed it out to her. And even I can barely feel it.

Im Asian. lol and i know most asians are not hairy or dont even have hairs on their legs. <- those are the lucky ones. BUT UNFORNUTATELY… im one of the unlucky ones. I shaved only once in 8th grade out of curiousity. now im in 9th grade. and i dont shave. I have hairy legs. not too hairy but noticeable. Im embrassed of my legs. I used to wear lots of skirts and shorts before i shaved. NOW. i dont because of my hairy legs.
People then to judge alot and i dont want to look bad. Help. I do get fun-off sometimes by boys. and i dont know what to do.
Should i just wear what i used to wear? or should i just keep wearing leggings/ jeans, and shirts/ loose shirts.

I just dont tend to be confident in myself.
