I wax everything but my armpits, because it last longer and I don't have to do it very often.

I shave my legs and underarms. I didn't do anything radical "down there" until my boyfriend remarked that he liked it when girls had less hair in that area. So I resorted to trimming it...but I think that next time he visits I am going to go in for the full monty--completely bare down there. I know that it's a little weird and painful as heck, but I'd like to surprise him--and trust me, it will surprise him.

Perhaps it will even be the end of him calling me Chewbacca. :roll:

I rarely shave my legs until the fur becomes trees or if I have to wear nylons, and then, only to the knees and that includes the summer. I regularly shave under my arms because I like it, but the second day after a shave drives me nuts, I've gotten used to it. My bikini, I trim in the summer, but only because the hair sticking out of my bathing suit bothers me. I bought a boy cut bottom suit so that I can go swimming without making sure I shave first.

I waxed my upper lip a couple of times, but haven't seemed to have the peach fuzz grow back, so haven't done it for a long time.

I like to shave my head sometimes too. (I know, weird for a girl), but the last time I did it, the woman behind me in line at the ladies wished me good health as if she thought I was recovering from chemo.

I have done a brazilian shave (I could never wax there!) but I couldn't stand the itchiness as the hair grew back in, so wouldn't do it regularly.

I don't shave anything in the winter. I stopped shaving under my arms a few years ago, but I am very self-conscious about this around family members (where such things are frowned upon). Fortunately my husband doesn't mind at all. :D

Event though I have more armpit fur than he does. ;) And I know this sounds weird to most people, but...I actually kind of _like_ the smell of sweat (to a point, but in general). I wish my legs were naturally hairless, but they're not. I'll shave up to the knee in summer because I like to wear skirts sometimes. I DREAD any situation where I'm expected to wear a bathing suit because of my bikini area fur - I have a light complexion but very dark hair. And I HATE shaving down there - I like the way it looks, with the bikini area shaved, but I HATE the way it feels growing out again, and I've had some nasty ingrown hairs that have actually left me with a scar or two. So I just trim down there, and that's it.

Used to trim my eyebrows, because they're rather heavy (think Brooke Shields) but lately I'm thinking I will let them go more "natural" again. As for my upper lip - *sigh* I sometimes just bleach that, because plucking hurts like hell and hair removal creams give me a rash.

Honestly I wish I never had to think about shaving again, ever. American women didn't shave their legs or armpits until razor manufacturers realized they could market to the other 50% of the population (women). Suddenly it became all the rage for a "modern woman" to be "sleek" and "bare." :roll:

I only shave during the summer or whenever I have to wear a dress, shorts or a tank top. Sometimes I wish I didn't but my mom says having hairy pits isn't very nice looking and is a bit gross.

My mother never shaved her legs at all, she says that the hair that is on your legs are very light and thin, but if you start to shave, the hair that grows back is dark and thicker and you then have to keep shaving. Turns out she was right.

The only reason I shave is because my mom makes me. I wouldn't if I didn't have to. The reason being is that I think it takes too much time to shave, and it's pointless since my hair always comes back within three days.

I shave my arm pits every couple of days, and my legs every other week cos I mostly wear pants. Sometimes I shave my bikini line when its starting to look hideous down there. I have used in-shower hair remover before too. It works great!

I shave my armpits 2-3 times a week, and epilate my legs during the summer.

I'll buzz my legs below the knee, and trim the armpit hair in summer, but otherwise, I have all my hair. I could probably let my legs go- having albinism means that my hair is transparent, and only shows up if strong light hits it.
