Hairy Legs? My daughter has hairy legs and she wants to get them off without using a shaving tool. Any suggestions? |
| try nair. or wax. |
Hairy legs...? This sounds strange, but my friend said to me
'Why is it so disgusting for women to have hairy legs, but men have hairy legs and are fine with it'
What would you say?
I said that women shouldnt have hairy legs and men have hairy legs because of testosterone. I know Men get more hair with the more testosterone they produce, so thats reason for them to show theirs off? To show how manly they are?
But why are hairy legs on women actually seen as so disgusting?
I find women with hairy legs sick.
But is there an actual reason why? |
Testosterone has nothing to do with the hair on the legs. Men and woman have hair on their legs.
You find hair on women's legs sick because society has programmed you that way. You have been raised in an environment that taught you to believe that something very natural is disgusting.
This is very westernized thinking. It's rather common for European woman not to shave and thought of as beautiful. Had you been brought up in Europe, you would probably think so as well. Only in more recent years have European woman started removing their body hair in the American fashion.
Imagine being brought up in the Middle East. You would be programmed to believe that woman's skin is blasphemous and must not be seen, hairy or not. Such programmed thinking would seem natural to you.
I challenge you to think real hard about the thinks you like and don't like. Is it truly your own personal preference, or have you been programmed to think that way?
I hate shaving. My first husband loved my body to be bald. He also called me ugly, no matter what I did.
My current husband, who is European, likes me to be natural and he thinks I am beautiful, whether I trim or not.
I was once in a store and was reaching for something on a high shelf. A guy remarked rather loudly how obscene it was that SOME women had hairy armpits.
I remarked twice as loud, "You're just jealous that I have more hair under my arms than you do combed over your BALD SPOT!"
His lady friend didn't stop laughing until they were a few aisles away. |
Hairy legs? Like all women i have hairy legs until i shave or wax. But do any of you have hairy legs behind and inside your thighs up to your pubic area? I'm not really hairy but they are visible and do have to shave everyday if i want to wear a skirt or shorts. I look at other women and they look really clean and looks like they have no hair at all. This really depresses me sometimes as i think i'm the only one!!
Have yo got the same probs??? |
| Every woman has hair in those places. Some women however shave or wax better than otherse which give it the appearance of perfect legs. Make sure when you shave to use shaving cream/gel & a fresh razor and use an aftershave to avoid those icky bumps. And when waxing make sure you don't miss any areas and keep your legs moisturized at all times! Follow these tips and you'll have flawless tips in no time. |

| shave your entire body from the neck down, seriously |
How to make my hairy legs look clean and cared for? I have very hairy legs and want to keep them but I wear shorts often and this exposes them. I'm not exactly sure what I am after but I don't want my leg hair to look shabby and wiry, I want it to look groomed (but not trimmed or shaven!) and not haywire and caveman appearance. How can I do this? It's as if I want them kind of straightened and close to my leg and not sticking out everywhere. |
| if you dont want to shave them off try bleaching them it will make them thinner and less noticeable. |
What is the best way to get rid of hairy legs? I have always been shaving my legs but I noticed they grow back quite quickly and is stubby. Whenever I wax, it doesn't take out all the hairs and is a long process, same with nair that is it doesn't take out all the hair and it smells quite bad. Does anyone know a better way to get rid of hairy legs? But like laser because I think I'm too young for that. |
| go without shaving for a few day and when it grows back it wont be stubby and also like when its winter i usually go without shaving for about a week and it makes it grow back slower |
Why does my bf have hairy legs but absolutely NO hair on the upper body? My bf has no chest or arm hair whatsoever! And no he doesnt shave it off, his skin feels smother than mine. His legs are pretty hairy but absolutel no hair on his arms and chest. In fact, i think I have more hair on my ams than he does. Isnt this weird? Why is he hairless on the upperbody? |
| nair? |
How can I keep up with my hairy legs? I am hairy. I was born hairy and I hate it. I use nair but I never have any time to keep up with it. I only get to use it when I have a break from school and work. I know other people (family members) who has hair on their legs and they too have a hectic schedule but they always keep their legs hairless. What can I do? Any suggestions. |
| You can wax, which does not make the hair thinner, it just wrecks some of the roots after doing it for a long time so the hair can't grow back as easily. Waxing does last longer, but I am guessing you are hairy like me (lol which is bad!) and for me it only lasts like 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 weeks at best. But it is worth it to get waxed if it really bothers you and you can't keep up with it. I get it professionally done which always lasts longer than doing it yourself does. You can get laser hair treatment but it's thousands of dollars, but if you can afford that I would look into it. Oh and shaving does not make the hair thicker in any way, it just cuts the hair so that it has an end so it feels more rough, it was driving me nuts that people are giving you the wrong info there. |
What is your opinion on hairy legs and shorts? Is it fashionable still for men to have hairy legs still? I've got nothing against my body at all except I don't like showing my legs because of the hair on them and think people will think eww and this puts me off wearing shorts.
Is it still the norm to have hairy legs?
Thanks all :) |
Yeah, it's normal to have hair on your legs.
Just don't wear shorts that show your knees, and that's perfectly acceptable now. I wouldn't wear short-shorts unless you're just doing it to be funny... because people will laugh. |
If my dad is hairy everywhere and I have hairy legs and ***, will I have a hairy chest? I am 19 and so far and only have a little chest hair. I have hairy arms, legs, ***, can grow some facial hair and can see the small hairs all over my chest, but I want to know if they are going to grow out to give me a full chest of hair. Yes I want a hairy chest. I don't care if women these days don't like that. Thanks. |
| It can have a lot to do with genetics, so if your dad has a hairy chest you might as well. However, I am in my late 20s. My dad has a hairy chest, but I'm almost completely smooth. I actually prefer that, so I'm cool with it. You are still young, so you might grow some more hair in, but it's hard to predict. It may or may not happen. |
