Honestly, I've considered it. But it never seemed essential. What you're describing is that it's barely noticeable, so go for it.
I've also considered trimming my belly area because it makes wearing belts a hassle. I have to pull up my pants so the buckle doesn't get caught in the hair. That's the worst.

I don't do it normally. However if I was with someone who preferred shaved legs on their SO, I'd have no issues shaving or waxing my legs

I shave my stomach/chest and trim the rest of the hair on my entire body, including legs, arms, and armpits. I've found trimming is easier, feels better growing in, and it looks less odd to me compared to having shaved legs.

I get rather hairy (Italian lineage) and the hair is so long it gets curly on my arms and legs. I just think it feels and looks better than having a brillow pad of hair covering my body. Some women will probably judge me for it, but that just means they aren't the woman for me.

Honestly, you should do whatever you want regarding your grooming habits.

& people might find it different, but anyone who actually judges you on that shouldn't be in your life anyway.

All about personal preference. I don't shave any particular part of me aside from my neck under my beard and have the barber clean up my neckline, because the hair literally connects from the top of my toes to the top of my head. If I shaved anything, I'd just end up with a blank patch amidst the rest of the fur coat.

I've been thinking about shaving my under arms actually (semi-related). I don't sweat massively but it'll reduce it nonetheless and it'll also help with application of natural deodorants. Reading up on it, it seems there are pros and cons for shaving/not shaving but the only possible downside of shaving that would affect me (problems with the skin) I won't know about until I've tried it.

Does it? If I buzz it low, I feel I sweat more so I just trim to my lowest guard size.

I shave my upper arm, shoulders, and back hair. I get my girlfriend to do my back. I'm not that hairy there but I had any hair on my back. I've considered shaving my chest but it seems like a huge effort.

Do what you want honestly. I don't shave my legs or arms cause it's too much damn work but shave or trim pretty much everything else. I hate back hair though. Looks ugly and feels gross. Get that shit outta there!

That might be poor wording on my part, I read that the sweat stays more localised with shorter/no hair there - which makes sense. Also suggestions that the hair aids the build up of bacteria (which causes odor). I'll give it a try anyway, it's not going to do any (much) harm if I don't like it.


I'm picturing these attached to your avatar for some reason.

I use an electric body hair groomer and if it's mad long, I have to use a guard before a closer setting. That's not even long imo.

If you're talking like manual shave, ya that would probably take a while.

As a femme-attracted lesbian trans woman I have like the most biased perspective possible, so I should not comment. (MAYBE DO IT THO)

I see, yeah that makes sense with my experience

Do you.

I shave, but not my legs just because it seems like more trouble than it's worth, and I'm not all that hairy.

What about arm hair? Mine starts from the elbow and go all the way to my knuckles. tbf its not as thick like robin williams but i do have a weird pattern where theres more growth towards the pinky knuckle than the other ones.

I asked my friend about this and she said don't do it.
I shave my arms from mid-bicep (above where my shirt sleeves end) down. I like the way they look compared to when they are covered with hair and they feel fucking incredible. I'll find myself at times just sitting there running a hand up and down the other freshly shaven arm. I'd do it really often but it takes me too long to trim it down with clippers and then shave it off.

I shave all my body hair and have my whole life. Nothing makes me feel more disgusting.

I'm in the process of getting it all removed permanently with laser. I already got rid of my facial hair, currently working on chest and stomach. Its pricey but will be worth it in the long run.

They shouldn't have to do anything they don't want to. Same with women despite the stigmas attached to that

Permanently? Holy shit. What happens if you want to grow a beard later in life?

I can guarantee you that will never happen lol.

Facial hair was always the #1 thing I hated about my appearance and I'm so glad its gone. My skin is so much nicer now too due to never having to touch it with a blade.

The shitty thing about laser though is that it takes forever to see results. Only about 15% of hair follicles are in the active growth phase at any given time and hair growth cycles can last for over a month, so you need at least 6 treatments spaced apart by several weeks to really see results. It took me about a year to get rid of my beard.

You can do it if you want. Leg hair is sexy though so I'd personally want people to have it. 😘

They're your legs, plus, if you wanna try it, do it. It will grow back so there's no real worry.

I mean, I trim my arm pit hair somewhat regularly (it's a source of heat I desperately do not need lol)
