Girls - shaving (the back of) your thighs

Hey! :smile:

Just curious whether you find it necessary or if it only makes matters worse (e.i. results in more and darker hair so you have to keep doing it). I have quite a hairy body myself (woo) so occasionally take a bit off here and there, but definitely not the lower front of my thighs since the hairs are blonde there. What do you do? Probably depends on the length of your skirt etc but just thought I'd ask. :smile:

I sometimes shave there, I'm very dark haired and quite hairy so do feel the need at times. In the winter I don't really, but summer is different. I occasionally wax there but i'm never sure if it's really worth it.

Yeah me too, just for myself really I can't stand the look of it.

I don't think I've ever removed hair from the back of my thighs. There aren't any :confused:

I wish I had less hair than I do..so something has to be done!

If I'm going to be wearing something that will reveal them then I might.
Depends on how I'm feeling and if I can be bothered.
Winter I never do...only in summer.

Nah, the hairs are really blonde, thin and unnoticable, and you can't really feel them so no need!

Cxx
I don't have any there so I don't feel the need.

I often just cannot be botherd, very occasionally when I'm bored I'll do it though, lol. Or when I'm going to the beach down at lago di Jesolo - everyone there looks great in their bikinis (except for the british slob tourists j/k :wink: ) so I feel like I'd better try and look my best too :rolleyes:

Well, I dunno, I've never thought whether there are any or not. But it seems logical, that if you're shaving both upper and lower leg...wait there I'm trying to think (!!)...I think I do, but not purposely. As in, I don't think "Ooh crap, best do the back of thighs, they're looking really hairy today...", but when I'm shaving at the back of the knee I probably just run the razor up anyway....(does that make sense).

Also, it depends on the season! I'm not going to lie...unless I've got somebody who's going to see it all, I'm guilty of shaving only the bits people can see publicly sometimes. Especially in winter. :wink:

hey, maybe one day you can get a laser treatment (dreams of the day when you can buy a laser for a few quid and do it yourself and remove hairs forever with it... *sigh* - i guess I'll just have to live in my dream world, things are so much better there :rofl:
