body hair?

Question

i don't really know what i'm supposed to do with it? I mean, legs for example. is one expected to shave/wax the thighs aswell cos i have really light hair and think that shaving would just make it grow back thicker and stubbly and its not like that at the minute. Also the bikini area - what should one do there, shave completely, trim around the edges?? Serious answers please! Thankyou!!

Answer 1

You really are bored at Uni aren't you?

Answer 2

From a mans point. I find that a little fur on the thigh is fine. It will come back thicker if you shave it. And as far as your Lilly goes, A clean shaved one leaves you kind of child like. So a landing strip is more appealing in my opinion. But nothing is more a turn off than to see a bush sticking out from the sides of a bikini bottom.
BTW...I was with a girl a while back, we used to find it a real turn-on to trim and shave each other.

Answer 3

In these matters it's really depends on your personal taste. I would suggest getting your legs waxed since you have fine hair on your legs. This way you don't have to worry about the hair for a good 6 to 8 weeks. If you are going to wax your bikini area, the best thing to do is to leave a "landing strip." I think they look the best and don't leave you looking like a little girl. If you aren't a huge fan of waxing then Nair makes a great bikini area hair remover.

Hi. You can wax, shave, veet cream its your skin. Try different products and see. Personally with light hair on the thighs, if it's not noticable leave it until it is. You sound young so leave it until you need too.
Legs I shave as you can have smooth legs daily, rather than hiding in between waxes. I have used veet too for legs but noe only use for the bikini area and sometimes back off my thigh. The hair regrowth doesn't seem coarse at all. I also trim with scissors bikini area for a tidy look and for hygiene as it's hot in Queensland. But I am dark and prob older than you so what suits me may not suit you.
Experiment on what suits your hair and skin. Beware of skin allergies and use talc to keep area dry esp in hot months to avoid shafing.
There are a lot of products. You can see a beauty salon too for advice and their services. Some are reasonable cost.
It's just preference. Good luck girl.

hi OK well i shave to just above my knees, i only shave the upper leg if i feel i need to, you can hardly see the hair there at all and i have dark hair.

as for bikini i wax the majority of the hair there and neatly trim the rest, i like to be tidy down there.

but if you don't feel the need to, then a bikini trim round the sides is perfectly fine. it just depends on what you want to do with your body hair.

if u do decide to remove hair i suggest waxing, it doesn't take long and although it is slightly painful you wont need to do it as often as shaving. and shaving if not done carefully in that area can result in a red rash which is itchy and sore.

be careful hun n enjoy experimenting to find out what u like.

Answer 6

if you want to do your public hair, wax it the 1st time... its gonna be painfull, but it will open up ur follicles, and makes it easier to shave the next time.
Actually, i don't recommand shaving, especially if you got light hair. If you wanna impress your bf, or go to the beach, just get a bikini line wax.
For the legs, its up to you, but i prefer the hair to be all "equal", so i shave up to the thighs... i think that it would be weird if half of your leg is stubby hair and half is soft... looks like the legs are from 2 different person...

Answer 7

I always shave the full leg- no point in just doing half the leg.

Now...

I have shaved the bakini line before and it killed!! you end up with a red rash and it itches and hurts when the hair grows back. I cant stand bold women and think that just doing the bakini line with hair romoval cream is best and just keep trimming with a pair of nail sisors every now and then. (oh im a woman by the way just using my fellas id, lol)

Answer 8

I rarely shave my thighs. I do it basically only when its called for. The rest of my legs I shave just because I can't stand it.
I think for a bikini area its best to shave it or wax the "leftovers". It's just nice to be clean in that area.
Keeping the rest trimmed or shaven I think is just as essential.

Answer 9

Well, if you have light hair on your thighs, as do I, don't shave them. I don't. I only shave my shins and knees. Such as your bikini area, do not shave because it hurts and can leave you raw for days because the skin there is really sensitive. Try trimming them and just be careful with your scissors down there, will you?! :[

Answer 10

Wax your bikini line. As much or as little as YOU want.

Legs - if the hair on your thighs troubles you then remove it. The easiest way is shaving but waxing or epilating will keep the hair away for longer. It just takes more effort to do those things. And epilation hurts owwww!!! :o)

Answer 11

It depends what your man likes. Most men like what the porn stars do, like completely shaved down south. And If your hair is light, I would shave to the knee. I am 36 and have been doing that since teen years and you can't tell I have hair on my thighs, in fact it is the thinnest hair on my body.
