I shave my legs, under arms, privite parts, toes, and the peach fuss on my upper lip. I get my eyebrows waxed ever week or two weeks. My hair grows very fast. Am I weird for shaving in most of those places? I am kinda wanting to find something that will lighten my hair on my body and also make it less ruff. Do you have any remedies?

Ok...I don't shave my face...just my above my lip.
Most people have long nasty hair on thier toes. Look at your toes and your boyfriends toes. You might want to start to shave at least the long hair on your big toe!

Not really, but I wouldn't reccomend shaving your face!
use Nair. I use it! You won't get a gross stubbly feeling above your lip...and your man won't get scratched kissing you.
:)
besides, i shave my arms and legs and everything. i think its femenine.

Shaving legs and underarms is fine...but for the "private parts" and toes...and the upper lip thing...just get all that waxed. truthfully for the private parts thing....yea it's kinda embarrasing to go in and be like...hey can i have a brazilian...but the ppl that actually do the waxing are so used to it that they dont make it awkward bc to them its normal. and if they dont make it awkward...then you wont really feel awkward. the good thing about waxing vs. shaving for that section is that the hair grows back a lot thinner and softer (so it doesnt show up as much when it is there)...and a lot later. like 4-5 weeks later you would need your next appointment. also, when you shave that part...it kinda messes up the hair so that it starts growing in different directions and eventually youlll get ingrowns and stuff like that...but when you wax you dont get all that stuff and your hair will grow in the right way. so the second time you get it done it doesnt hurt as much. and i know that a lot of ppl are worried about the pain and i have like NO tolerance for pain so what gets me thruogh it is the thought that 7-10 mins of pain will last for 4-5 weeks...which is definitely worth it. and for the toes...i guess you can shave that or if you want...just buy waxing stuff that you can do yourself...the toes really dont hurt at all. and just so you know...the hair growing fast thing...thats how it is for everyone who shaves. lastly...if you really want...just get everything lasered and after a couple treatments...you'll never have to shave or wax again. also...DEFINITELY wax your eyebrows and upperlip and stuff. hope all this helps...sorry its so long. good luck with everything!

You are not weird. Most woman shave most of those. I Would not shave my face though. It is going to get thicker and courser as you continue to shave it. That you can have dyed. Might look funny died if there is a lot of it. I would talk to the person that does your eyebrows and ask their advice about your peach fuzz. Everyone I know shaves their privates. Some more than others but they all do it. If you get a few hairs on your face or chin pluck those with tweezers.

Have you ever plucked your eyebrows because i am kind of hairy it can help sometimes if you don't have the money that is the best way.......your upper lips get like a waxing kit at wally world..........oh shaving everywhere else keep shaving it like everyday when you take a shower.......but you got your cons for that because one day if you let it all go all your hairs will grow back even longer.......

yeah most of that sounds normal.
i would not shave your uper lip though because it will come back thick and dark over time and you will end up wishing you never shaved your peach fuzz becuase it is wayy less noticable.
and my mom shaves her feet and toes and she has since she was like 20 and now shes like 45 and her feet are NASTY the hairs are so thick and like black as night so just get them waxed or wax them yourself you can buy self wax at the drugstore.

Sally Hansen makes a hair bleach just for lip hair and such. I don't recommend shaving your upper lip. It makes the hair grown back courser than before.
You can also tweeze or use a hair remover by Sally Hansen.

i used the shave minimizing lotion on my legs for the longest time, and it seemed to work well, i don't know if it will work as well for corser hair but it's worth a try. there's also this thingcalled electrolisys where they lazer your hair folicles and the hair doesn't grow back, but i don't know how much that costs
