Questions about shaving legs? For women....?

Question

OK this is for an argument that my boyfrined and I are having.

1. How often do you shave your legs?
2. Do you hold off on shaving your legs if you wear pants more?
3. If you were to keep up with shaving your legs on a regular basis, how often would you do it?

My boyfriend laughs at me because I shave my legs once a month because the hair on my legs grows REALLY REALLY slow and I wear pants all the time. In one months time I have about a quarter of an inch of hair. My mom and sister shave every night so I was trying to prove to my bf that more women would go less often if they could. What do you think?

Men can answer this too if you can tell me about your gf's/wifes shaving habits.

To JoeMonty- I do know what it is like to shave your head. I shaved my head about a year ago to get rid of cowlicks and becuase I hated my hair. I kept it shave for about a month. I shaved it about every 4 days. I dont know how you can stand to shave everyday. It just sounds painful. If I had to choose between shaving my head and shaving my legs, I would choose my legs because it is much easier. Im not complaining about my legs but I just personally find that if I do it any more than once every other week I get really bad irritation.

I have talked to my boyfriend and I asked him if he really wanted me to shave my legs more often. I explained about the irritation and that the hair grows really slow and he said he is ok with it since the stubble isnt that bad. He shaves his face every day because it grows really fast which is sad because I think that stubble on him is sexier than hell!

Answer 1

I shave one a week or more during the summer, about once a month in the winter. I'd quit altogether if I didn't think my husband would eventually freak out on me. You are right, your bf is wrong. :D

Answer 2

1. I only shave my legs if they will show, so about every other day in the summer, and much less frequently in the winter unless I will be wearing a skirt.
2. Absolutely. If I will be wearing pants, I usually don't shave my legs.
3. If I had to do it regularly, I would probably do it every other day unless there was a special occasion.

My leg hair grows very slowly as well. I also almost never shave above the knee, because the hair is so fine that it doesn't show and I hate to have to shave so much area. Unless I am going to wear a bathing suit, nothing above the knee gets shaved. Funny how it's such an inconvenience, yet we do it anyway!

Answer 3

I only shave about once a month as well. My leg hair barely grows at all. I do wear pants more often than shorts or skirts but I do wear skirts and shorts at least 3 times a week. If I were to shave my legs regularly, it would be once a week like I used to in HS. But then my senior year, my hair slowed down on the growth. Very good thing b/c it saved me money on razors and shaving gel. In a month, I'll be lucky to have a quarter inch growth!!

Answer 4

1.my hair grows really really slow i usually don't have to have to shave but ever month and a 1/2
2.I don't really have to shave my legs that often because i don't often show my legs especially during winter when i am defiantly am not going to be wearing short skirts.
3. If i was to shave my hair on a regular basis i would do it ever 2 weeks people that shave their legs often, hair usually grows back faster and thicker because of the consent shaving just like cutting hair on your head you hair usually comes back faster and longer every time.

Answer 5

I went to beauty school
You shave as often as you need to. Some women are more hairy than others or grow hair faster. Shaving is hard on your skin, shaving too often will cause skin irritation, those little red bumps and in-grown hairs.
I shave about once a week, but take a week off during my period since I'm not going to let anyone see it anyways.
Your guy is probably trying to get you to shave more often cause men don't like the stubble on our legs, like how we don't like the stubble on their face.

Answer 6

1. I try to shave once a week, but sometimes I skip. It's too short to shave otherwise.
2. yes I certainly do!
3. I would do it every day or every other day if I found a way to shave that didn't involve destroying the skin on my legs.

Currently I haven't shaved in a month but I wear pants all the time so it's no big deal...at least to me.... ;)

Answer 7

In the summer I try to shave my legs every 2-3 days when
I am wearing shorts or a bathing suit. In the winter when I am wearing pants most of the time, I might shave them once a week...maybe...lol!

Answer 8

Okay, this is going to sound really gross but I really only have to shave my legs probably once a year. Why? I have no idea. The hair never grows back and when it does decide to grow back, it's only about half an inch. LOL

Everyone is different and I'm sure you will get all sorts of different answers.

Answer 9

I am EXACTLY like you. And unless I have somewhere special to go....OH WELL!! HOWEVER!!! How would YOU feel if HE only shaved once a month. My daughters shave every day. I think its a young person thing. When you get to be my age you pretty much say to hell with it...if you wanna leave me cuz I dont shave my legs everyday the PISS OFF BABY!!!!

Answer 10

I don't shave as often during the winter months as it get below zero here and my skin really takes a beating anyway, so you have to slop on lotion like crazy.

During the summer months, when my legs are exposed, I shave every other day ( 3 - 4x per week) as I just can't stand stubble.

Answer 11

I shave about once a month as well. I have hardly any hair on my legs and what I do have is blond and fine. Guys dont like the prickley feeling on our legs. I say that their 5 oclock shadow is far more abracive. I think that if I were to keep up on shaving my legs Id have to do it once every two weeks or so.
