At what age do girls normally shave their legs for the first time?

Answer 1

11-13

Answer 2

My mother had the best answer for this when my sister was asking (she has 2 pre-teen daughters) - she said "when the girl is old enough to ask if she can shave, let her shave". My niece started shaving at age 10, but she hit puberty at age 9. Once she started noticing other girls had no hair on their legs, she wanted to shave as well.

Answer 3

12

Answer 4

It is usually around the age of 13. But, at or near the onset of the first menstrual cycle, the public, leg, and armpit hair will begin to thicken. Therefore, some will start at a younger or later age than the norm of 13 since menstration generally begins anywhere from the ages of 9 to 19.

Answer 5

I think it really depends on when puberty hits and just how much hair they get and how dark it is. when I first started growing hair on my legs, it was hardly noticeable, but I wanted to shave b/c I had seen the ads on television for razors and shaving gels targeted at women. I was probably around 13 or 14 at the time. I knicked myself a whole lot back then. those were the days!

Answer 6

I didnt start shaving my legs till i was in the begining of 9th grade. My legs were hairy. I used to be so embrassed to wear a skirt. My mom didnt let me shave. But I see why now. Notice that the hairy your legs are, when you shave them, its the best shave ever. Now I can shave and i only shave when i need to. Plus shaving a lot isnt good for your skin.

Answer 7

Women didn't shave their legs until the early 20th century when the Gillette company realized they could make more money by telling women they "needed" to shave their legs. They convinced women's magazines to make it the fashion. It has been that wave ever since. Shave your legs when and if you want. The more you shave the thicker it will come back.

Answer 8

age 12

Answer 9

I believe it is about 11 or 12 when i first shaved my legs.

Answer 10

They start whenever they become aware that they "need" to, or whenever they start to want to shave their legs, usually around the start of puberty or when their hair on their legs start getting darker.
