Gasp! Kim K. is totally hairless? | WENN
As you know, I have a weird fondness for the Kardashians. But that doesn’t mean I agree with everything that comes out of Kim’s (ever-so-slightly surgically plumped) mouth. In part two of her interview with Oprah she said that she feels pretty partly because she’s had all of her body hair lasered away.
HOLD UP. I have a big issue with girls nowadays thinking we have to be these hairless reptile women. WE DON’T.
Quick story:
When I was studying abroad in Italy, I tried to get a Brazilian wax, as I’d done many times back in California. The lady wagged her finger at me and clucked “No, non-hygenico, non-hygenico.”
I wrinkled my nose. “Wouldn’t it be more hygienic to be hairless?”
She sighed heavily and crossed her large arms across her even larger breasts and began in broken English.
“Dee weemun, we have-a da hair. It keeps out…things. Dee bad things from our lady beeznuss. Dee hair iz there for a reeeeson, bella.”

I’d never thought of it that way. But the same way your eyelashes keep out dust and crud from your eyes, so does lady business hair.
“Beside,” she added, “the mens, they hairy, they-a no care. Why we care whatta dey like, eh?”
Since then I’ve thought about hair in a different way. Before, it was this AWFUL plague of a thing that must be eradicated or no guy will EVER touch you.
I’m actually a very un-hairy person to begin with (Swedish genes), but my sorority sisters still made me feel like a yeti if I didn’t get a Brazilian every month like they did. But then I realized that at $40 a pop, a year’s worth of pricey waxes could be a plane ticket back to Italy, where people didn’t treat being women like something that needs to be fixed. Plus, my then-boyfriend admitted that being bare creeped him out, and honestly, it creeped me out too.
Now, years later, I’ve had my legs, underarms and bikini zone lasered and I love it! Swimsuit season is so much easier and I never worry about gross ingrown hairs. But, I did that for me, not because I felt inherently ugly.

My point is: do whatever makes you feel happy. If it’s Brazilians, viva! If it’s going bushy and wild like Sasha Grey in that one episode of Entourage, go for it!
But does anyone else think it’s kind of sad that Kim only feels hot sans body hair? Or are you one hundred percent in agreement with her that body hair is ugly? Tell me all your thoughts–and I know you’ve got a ton of ‘em–in the comments!
This Girl Doesn’t Shave Her Legs . . . Ever!
Can You Trust Him?
I prefer not to have hair sticking out of my bathing suit or underwear, because it makes me feel self conscious and partially naked (although I’m also very comfortable with nudity). I wouldn’t want it all gone, though, because that is like being 11, and makes me feel awkward. I’m not a big fan of hair that’s not on the head. I wax my lip hair, and shave my legs. I tried waxing down there once, but it didn’t work out! It’s easier to shave when I feel like it and otherwise just chill out about it.
Due to my genes I have more hair than a woman normally has.It makes me feel self conscious.I even shave my arms. But everytime I shave the hair grows back within a few days.I have been thinking about getting my body hair permanently removed. But I think it’s the individuals choice when it comes to hair removal or keeping.
To me I just like a little hairl not a lot it just makes me just right not a jungle but not bald

i swear i have the hairiest legs and i’m a girl!! Maybe like once a month i shave down there though.
I dont shave guys thinknits hot to see some hair out a bikini
Ahem… Not trying to be à besserwisser or anything, but i’m from Sweden… And we’re not that hairless…
Me? I shave my legs, and sometimes, done there, but only in the summer, cause of bikinis and stuff. I dont see why all the women these days wanna be, bare, i mean im only 19, but my little sister is bare and shes 9. i dont wanna look like a 9 year old!!!! but my oldest sister was telling me that being bare is good because it shows that you take care of yourself! but my BF said one time when o asked him that he didnt care either way, so i say do what YOU want!
I shaved down there one time and it was great, I just hate the fact that I get super itchy when it’s growing out again… itchy in public is embarrassing and annoying!
My fiance refuses to let me shave. Not because he is a beast or really dominating ( it is actually quite the opposite) but because he says bare makes him think of being with a little girl and it grosses him out. He loves when I trim it and make it pretty but if I was to shave it all off he wouldn’t do anything with me until I grew it back out. I totally see his point. I couldn’t wait to get hair there so I would finally be a woman.
Well, I personally keep myself hairless (having hair creeps me out….I hate body hair), but I recently used a hair-removal cream, and left it on too long, I guess, so now I have red bumps that hurt. So I guess I’m growing it out.
I personally don’t like hair down there, I always seem to have the problem of if it’s long it bends over the wrong way and it is very painful if you know what I mean. I really just get it off and then let it grow just to about a 1/4″and at most a 1/2″ that is were I draw the line. hope this may help but idk:)
I dont like having hair it makes me feel dirty. Plus to me body hair looks nasty.
I think you should do what makes you the most comfortible, and feel no way obligated one way or another. Personally, I keep my pubic hair, because I think hairless looks childish and creepy, and because honestly, if you take care of it as well as you do your head hair, it can actually be really nice and soft. I think its more hygenic in general, even if it can make it a little more challanging to clean. But thats was detachable showheads ar for aint it? Amoung other things
The point is to do what makes you feel comfortible and sexy, and not make that descision based on what society says is sexy. It’s YOUR body and YOUR choice.
I like to be hairless when I have sex because its easier to, you know, find things down there.
And, I think that my panties fit cuter when it’s hairless. I just feel cleaner and neater, it is my choice.
I think that hairy and hairless women alike are gorgeous! You should do whatever makes you feel happiest.
All through high school, I kept my lady bits completely hairless because I thought it was what guys wanted. But when I entered college, I met my best guy friend Mike. “As a guy,” he said, “no hair is like having sex with a child. It’s creepy.” Now I maintain, but I don’t remove. It makes life so much simpler!
Well, girls should do what makes them feel the best about themselves.. however, I personally think that the hair is a sign of womanhood. girls that have nothing down there make me think of my little sister… and that’s just not a turn on.. at all… I don’t think I could be with a woman that shaved. but that’s just my preference. it’s more important that you like yourself for who you are.
