female only So Shaving Your Legs And Being Obese

[Back~To~Amy 307]

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.

Every 4 days??

You must be white lol

I have to shave EVERY SINGLE DAY if I want to be smooth. By the end of the day my legs have a good 1/6 inch of stubble!

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 .Do you ladies choose other options like waxing, weird cream stuff ect?Or do you just go au natural?

I used to bother, but decided it isn't something I really want to make a daily priority. My husband doesn't mind (he's European) and it saves money on razors, waxing, electrolysis, etc.

The only one who is bothered about it is my mom. She always has something to say about my not shaving (I don't shave my armpits either).

I've noticed that my legs appear a little hairier since the follicles are closer together because the amount of flesh is somewhat less. It isn't something that bothers me or is going to cause me to change my personal regimen.

Lol I am Mayan (Salvadorean) and Portuguese and Jewish so I am hairrrrry!

I don't shave all the time though, only when I know I will be wearing shorts or something. I used ot be uber self conscious when I was younger -- even a kid because of my stache -- until my mom told me about how women with hairy knuckles were special in Maya culture. It took me a while to completely get over it though. My fiance is Mexican so he has seen all the hair on his mommy and doesn't care

I'm a every two days kind of person. I could be daily, but really?! My ankles get so fricken hairy. The rest of my legs could go more than two days, but my ankles- oh goodness. Thick black stubble, it grows at a miracle grow rate. Lol. And I too, seem to be more on top of my upkeep once I lost some poundage. I think I look in the mirror more and I have the flexibility and ability to see everything. Good problem to have I guess.

Haha sorry :/

And my abuelita (aztec... barely even speaks Spanish) told me that people who had hair had special gifts from the gods like being extra smart or very fertile so it was considered beautiful!!

Its so cool that there are other Native people on this board that know about their heritage!!

I'm lucky I only get a small stubbly patch below my knees so I only shave like once a week, my lip hair is another thing though...I hate it!

[KayKay20 13]

I use Nair & only have to shave my legs & do under my arms like once a month. Now my eyebrows & above my lip I do that like every two weeks.

[KayKay20 13]

Lol & under my neck (this is embarrassing, I can't believe I'm saying this) every 3-5 days.
