Women: Do you shave your legs every day in the winter?


Quote  |  Reply

I was just wondering. In the spring, summer, even into fall, I shave my legs either every day or every other day because I wear skirts a lot. In the winter though, I might let it go as long as a week, since I'm typically in long pants or jeans. In fact the only reason I even do it that often is it tends to drive me crazy if I let it go too long. I do have kind of fine, light colored hair though, so it's not as noticeable.

So, do you shave every day? Or do you let it slide?

I shave my legs every day, or as soon as they need it. I just like when my legs feel nice and soft. I like rubbing my legs back and forth on my sheets at night....tmi?

I know a lot of girls that don't though.

I don't shave my legs every day in the summer, lol!!! More like once a week.

But in the winter, it becomes more like every three weeks... (Aka when my fiance gets PO'ed or I have to wear a dress.)

I'm lucky if I remember to shave every other week. I'm on the swim team though, and eventually the hair just disintegrates from the chlorine. Lovely, I know.And that doesn't change from the winter to the summer, although I may shave every week in the summer, or if I might get lucky that night. Maybe.

I do shave my armpits every day.

frick no.  only when necessary. (for a variety of necessities...)

Pits meet with the razor on a daily basis, but the legs get a fleeting bi-weekly nod.  More if I feel pretty, less if I feel frumpy. xP

I only shave the day I'm going to see the bf.  If that doesn't happen in a week, I will take the matter into my own hands and shave.  Actually I don't even shave everyday during the summer.  

Maybe once a month...more often if I'm involved with someone and they care, but mostly I wear pants in the winter.  Even in the summer I don't bother unless my legs are going to be on display...the hot tub at the gym doesn't count, I'm looking for less attention there, not more.

I try to. But I get lazy and sometimes only do If I know I'm porkin later on.

"porkin"?...

I tend to do legs twice/week, more often if a special occasion comes up or I'm traveling and have to look my best all the time.

haha i don't shave everydya in summer. I probably go way too long in the winter w/o shaving. usually once it starts getting itchy or when teh fiance gets irritated haha. i could care less!

No, that's what black tights are for.

Ummm....nair anyone?

 

I nair about once every 2, 3 months durring the winter and once a month durring the summer. Leave me baby smooth for days, and the hair has been coming back lighter and thinner for years now.

I do use nair since I have pretty light, thin, slow growing hair now anyway. But perhaps you can enlighten me? I hate the fact that I essentially have to use a whole bottle of this stuff on my legs!!! (Well, I usually get two uses.) It says spread it on thick, am I doing it too thick? Or do I just have to keep spending the dough?

In the summer i dont shave everyday, more like every 2 days.. but i dont have black hair, i have light brown and in the sun it turns blonde so i guess its not as noticable until it grows more. In the winter i shave whenever i wear a dress or something. Most of those days i wear tights with dresses but if its a special occassion i will shave, and my bf likes me 2 so mostly i do it for him, otherwise i really dont care. If i dont show my legs i dont need to, i dont want to get bumps

I'm not going to lie, I don't even remember the last time I shaved my legs.  I shave my armpits all of the time, but my legs are too time consuming and my shower gets cold too fast.  I'll have one leg done and the shower turns way too cold and I have to hurry and do the other one.  My leg hair is extremely fine and nobody can tell if my legs are hairy.  I feel pretty lucky in that way.

Every day they need it.  I'm paranoid about getting into a car accident on my way to or home from work and having all of the people I work with see my stubbly ankles.  I also dislike sitting with scrubs on, 'cause some ways your scrubs ride up and unless you're wearing trouser socks, your co-workers see your stubble, too.

Everything gets shaved as soon as I see it or feel it growing in, unless I remove the hair by other means.

Well, I'm hesitant to tell anyone to use nair like I do...because according to the bottle it's unsafe. I've never got nair burn on my legs, and I've been using it for almost 10 years. I can get about 4 uses out of one bottle, I've got BIG legs. The way I can get 4 applying it in a thin coat, and really rubbing it in. You can actually get a bit of a lather, and then I let it set for 15-25 minutes. After leaving it on long enough, it kind of dries and you can't really see it anymore. The result for me is VERY SMOOTH legs that last a longer time then shaving.


I'd say 2 uses out of one bottle applying it the way the directions say to do it, is right on track.

haha I don't even shave my legs every day in any other season either. just whenever it feels necessary. my hair's never grown really thick or fast, so I'm lucky I guess. plus I've realized that if I let it grow just a littttttle bit longer (and I mean a little, not like a forest down there!), then I get a better/smoother shave when I finally do remove it. I finally shaved my legs last night after like a little over a week, lol. even though it's a skirt, luckily my school uniform dress code requires us to wear knee-high socks or tights.

I shave my armpits every day or every other though.
and I can't stand Nair.

(and I totally love wearing velour sweatpants after I shave my legs Wink)
