So Shaving Your Legs And Being Obese

Am I the only one who thinks us larger girls have a harder time that skinny girls shaving. I mean we have more leg so we have more hair on that more leg It's just annoying. I hate having to shave my legs every 4 days in the summer :angry: .Do you ladies choose other options like waxing, weird cream stuff ect?Or do you just go au natural?

    Haha I hate shaving my legs!!!!

  • Aughhhh, I hate shaving my legs lol. Yes I think it is monumentally harder to shave while heavy. And now that I've had this surgery it hurts to bend over to shave so I'm wearing pants for the next few

Ha, I've actually found I have to shave more often and it takes longer since I've lost weight! But I'm not complaining. I think the changes in my hormones regulating has made my hair grow faster, and now I've got all the bumps to maneuver around again -- knee caps, ankles, etc. Another great NSV!

I Nair....

Aughhhh, I hate shaving my legs lol. Yes I think it is monumentally harder to shave while heavy. And now that I've had this surgery it hurts to bend over to shave so I'm wearing pants for the next few days until I've recovered enough to comfortably shave.

I hate to shave! I am still pre op and looking forward to shaving without breaking and sweat and getting out of breath. Ahhh the nsv that i am looking towards.

Interesting. I did find it hard, just due to needing to move and bend and not having a lot of room in the shower! However now it takes a long time to shave but I am doing it with more care

Funnily enough, I have been taking more care with my body and my self care since the surgery. I shave, pluck, moisturise, oil, exfoliate and generally take better care all over. Interesting, I hadn't clocked the difference but there is a difference.

I never found it hard...I just hate doing it!

I totally agree:):)

i used to not but now i do it while im at it :<

Me being 230 it's not hard but def can get uncomfortable. If I really don't want to do it. My boyfriend does it for me. And he does EVERYTHING. Lol o.O everything is so much easier to do when your not heavy. :/

I hate it too.. I also shave my arms as well.

I hate doing it and did find it hard. Kinda like tying my shoes. Now that I've lost 47 pounds, both are so much easier. I still hate shaving though and do it as little as possible.
