I thought the cat clawed holes in her jeans to match where she wanted them. On̈ first read anyway… i also haven’t had coffee yet
No
Holy moly that would save so much time. I already kind of cheat and mostly do my thighs now that it is winter, since I don’t really feel my shin hair normally.
That’s funny; my thigh hair is so thin I don’t even bother, even in the summer. Meanwhile my calf hair is darker and more obvious so that’s what I shave.
I only shave my legs when pulling up my ski socks (knee-high, tight enough to not fall down, but I’ve never been skiing) causes pain from pulled hairs. And sometimes when I go to a pool. So like maybe 5-8 times a year.
I don’t wear shorts or skirts above the ankle, so I really don’t care most of the time.
Or, hear me out, you could just not bother at all. It works for (most) men after all ;)
I’m 52 and can’t be bothered with the waste of time. I will occasionally shave because it does feel nice for a bit afterwards. Honestly, same goes with my pits. In all fairness though, I’m fair skinned with lighter colored body hair that isn’t all that thick. EXCEPT for the motherfucking chin hairs. Those damn things I curse at each and every one that I rip from my face.
That said, people should do whatever the fuck they feel comfortable with in regards to their own body hair.
If you’re interested in dealing with them once and for all, there are treatments (I think they use lasers) that will kill the hair follicles and prevent them from growing hair anymore.
My mom had it done on her legs and she hasn’t had to shave since, not sure how expensive it is but it might be worth looking.
For the person you’re replying to, lighter hair (such as blonde, gray, or some form of dirty blonde) generally doesn’t work with laser. To deal with those hairs, the option is electrolysis which is slow, painful, and more expensive than laser especially for large areas but also a very high hair kill rate.
I always forget that different hair types (not really sure about the terminology) have completely different needs, thanks for the information.
Laser can work if your hair is dark enough, otherwise you’d need electrolysis. Depending on the needed method and amount of hair prices range from a few hundred to several thousand, possibly over many sessions
I had no idea, I don’t really think of my family as having dark hair - but our hair is brown. Why are blonde hair follicles unaffected by laser treatment?
Edit: it seems like it’s less to do with them being unaffected and more to do with how the targeting system for the lasers work? That seems like something that could be improved one day.
It may surprise you but many women actually like having smooth shaved legs. Just like some men like to be clean cut. It’s weird that leg shaving is such an issue cause I never saw it as being about men, it’s just a personal preference women have
I bet, cleanly shaven feels nice but I can imagine stubble to be exceptionally bad on legs. And most men would probably need to shave far more often to avoid it.
Can confirm, am man, have shaved legs and stubble sucks ass and pops up too often to bother.
Does feel nice when smooth though.
Well that‘s just not true. Sure, some women like having smooth legs. But you have to ask why. Probably because society tells them that it‘s normal for women to shave their legs and if they don‘t, they are abnormal. Or why do most men shave their beard but almost none their legs if it‘s such a good feeling?
The feeling of the hair brushing against/catching on fabric drives me nearly out of my skin. Hate hate hate it. That’s why I shave. I don’t feel like I have an obligation to do so because of “society”. It’s just a preference. It feels nicer and more comfortable.
I mean, at that point you might as well wear normal jeans.
Yeah I don’t understand shabby fashion at all. I mean if I’m wearing clothing that’s full of holes it’s because I’m too cheap and lazy to buy new clothes.
Yeah that’s why Kurt Cobain and other punk/grunge musicians wore this kind of clothes. Then he became one of the biggest rockstar ever, which caused him to blow his head off and the trendy people to start dressing like him.
I never grew out of the grunge style. I love holes in the knees of my jeans. I just don’t buy them that way. The holes need to be earned.
i really like this one
