"Just above the knee when I'm wearing something that will show off my calves. All the way up if I'm anticipating lingerie or naked time. Utterly, utterly paranoid, and I beat myself up when I find any missed spots." Not just me then, why do we do this shit to ourselves? | |||

" I go from my toes to just over my knees, but don’t have to shave often as I’m not that hairy ( I think due to years of waxing) I honestly don’t think my hubby is that bothered, Maybe women are more critical than the men!? It bothers me a little when I miss a bit, but soon get over it! Mrs J x" Possibly, they day we are our own worst critic. That's why I wanted others opinions. Thank you for your reply | |||

"Yeah, I shave everywhere. Even places you didn't know could spout hair, do. I have pcos so I get really thick, dark wiry hair if I don't. I think it's more habit now. I also don't want to have more body hair than my partner (internalised societal ideas of femininity)."  Why do we let it bother us?

"Ladies that shave their legs, do you just do to the knee or the whole leg? Do you worry if you've missed a bit? (pre lockdown when we could meet) I get very paranoid if I discover I've missed a bit.

My facial hair is not a moral failing but oh god I hate it so and it makes me feel terrible about myself." Ladies, I'm a skin specialist. If you pluck, wax the hair you ar changing it from being a vellous hair to a terminal growing hair as you are altering the structure of the root. Not possible atm but look into dermaplaning as this will remove the hair without causing it to grow more vigorously. I'm a hairy lady thanks to an italian dad so I feel your pain x | |||

"I shave to the knee, and I hate it when I notice a bit that I've missed. I feel that it's very off putting, even though it's never been mentioned to me by a meet. I think it goes back to teenage years when the bitchy girls were overly critical of girls who hadn't started shaving their legs so I'm really conscious of it now. " Yes, I think teenagers haunt a lot of us. I wasn't allowed to start shaving until a couple of years after my leg hair went from peach fuzz to dark and... kids are fucking horrible. | |||

"Really appreciate everyone's replies, thank you ladies. I feel slightly less freakish now
You're definitely not freakish at all Sparkles. It's nice to know that my permafur doesn't just plague me.
My brother almost literally has fur. I'm not quite that bad, because you know, he's a man, but I've definitely got the female version.
It plagues me, but not as the bitch in my head shaming me for how my body is."Stop it Swingy !! You're bloody lovely just as you are xx | |||

"I do the whole leg but I'm not that bothered if I miss a bit. I'll get it next time. Wish I could be not bothered, it really stresses me out Why? I don't actually know I'm naturally quite hairy and it's dark, I suppose I just feel really self conscious about it
My body hair is very dark too and I'm very pale. It used to bother me more when I was younger. I had an ex when I was about 21 who would point it out. I'm not sure why but I've stopped caring about it and I'd tell him where to go if it was now. I shave because I like the feeling. Other people aren't entitled to my body being how they want. It they don't like it then that's fine, doesn't mean I have to change to suit them."Good for you If they don’t like it, it’s their problem and you shouldn’t change cos of them. | |||

"Also. Fucking facial hair. I wax, and tweeze, and then when my skin starts to protest at all of that shit, then I shave the remnants off. My facial hair is not a moral failing but oh god I hate it so and it makes me feel terrible about myself." I get a little moustache and hairs grow from the mole under my chin but this is pretty common with most women I know. I just leave it alone mostly as my face is sensitive and waxing and plucking irritates it too much. I also get stray nipple hairs too that need plucking once a month.
It's shite that we feel ashamed of these things, but honestly, I bet nobody even notices it as much as we do. I rem_mber my partner going crazy at me when I started waxing my little moustache and he was adamant that there was nothing there!
I'm really interested in trying dermaplaning.

"I shave to the knee, and I hate it when I notice a bit that I've missed. I feel that it's very off putting, even though it's never been mentioned to me by a meet. I think it goes back to teenage years when the bitchy girls were overly critical of girls who hadn't started shaving their legs so I'm really conscious of it now. Yes, I think teenagers haunt a lot of us. I wasn't allowed to start shaving until a couple of years after my leg hair went from peach fuzz to dark and... kids are fucking horrible."Yes, they are | |||

"I'm definitely going to look into laser, although my mum had some when I was younger and it was temporary" I think it's improved a lot from 20 years ago when I first heard of it. | |||

"I personally dont mind whether you are shaved or not, if you are comfortable with it then i am! I would certainly not shy away from a meet if hairy legs were to be revealed. More important than a bit of body hair is hygeine. " Good to know, thank you | |||
