Maybe it's cause perfume, with some exceptions, smells really bad to me, like weird chemicals. Some I do like though. But most I hate.

This. My whole life I've feigned liking perfumes whenever a female friend or relative has asked me for my opinion on one. They all just smell alcohol-y to me. I wonder if it's the same thing as when you first try wine and it all tastes yucky?

Three cheers for being a "dirty hippie"! ... I identify with the hippie part, but not insomuch as the dirty. Though I shower every other day, I still do the whole washing of the private parts to prevent female issues and smells. My hair and skin have opposite reactions ... Showering daily dries my skin out to the point of cracking within a week; the pH balance in my hair gets wacky and dries, so to fight the drying, it gets oily.

I also have very short hair, so not washing it for 3 days is actually ok, with vinegar/water rinses and NOT sweating every day since it's NOT over 100 degrees anymore.

As for the whole perfumes-thing ... Most perfumes REALLY aggravate my allergies, but try colognes geared toward women, and if you like one that doesn't clog you up, just water it down. But one thing that works for me is the body sprays, or even the "linen sprays" they have at the dollar stores. Cheaper and they aren't as irritating to my allergies, plus they still smell really nice!

Oh hey ladies, how about shaving? As meticulous as I am abut bathing, I only shave once a week. I have really dark hair and it grows really fast but I just can't be bothered doing it more than that. Also if I use a safety razor I get heck of rashes, but I bought an electric razor two weeks ago and my rashes seem to be clearing up! Yay!

my legs are hairy enough that if i want them to be stubble-free i typically have to shave every day but lucky me, i never wear anything that shows my legs and i absolutely never get laid so i pretty much never have to shave my legs. i do it maybe three or four times a year. i would like to actually try wearing dresses and shorts and stuff this summer though now that i am in shape and don't completely despise my body so if i have the money to afford some fancy new clothes maybe i'll find it somewhere in me to stop being such a filthy hairy disgrace. we'll see.

Yeah I wore jeans basically every single day for the past five years or so, and saying to hell with shaving, but this year I have been branching out on weekends and wearing skirts, which involve shaved legs. TODAY, however, I am feeling very proud for wearing a skirt to work for the very first time! I have not shaved my legs in 4 days. It's cool. They're prickly as fuck but nobody's touching them at work and my boyfriend doesn't care.

i basically wear jeans every day and do the same now, i think i've always been kind of insecure about my weird freakish disproportionately giant muscle legs (they are ALWAYS like that i have no idea what the deal is) which is why i have avoided ever wearing anything but jeans for so long. lately though i have been doing really well with exercising and eating well and i think the feel-good chemicals from all this health are finally making their way into my brain because even though my legs are still just as weird and freaky and massive as ever, i am finding myself thinking less "oh geez oh man i need to make sure nobody sees my legs" and more like "hey man i am awesome and really pretty and i want to wear things that make me feel pretty, damnit". chances are by the time summer arrives and i have to actually get out and try on those things i will return back to my lame insecure self but on the other hand, maybe i'll finally get over it! then i could be a real adult and stuff. that would be cool.

Ever since my surgery ive been forced to take baths and soak the area. This lead me to an epiphany. Baths are friggin awesome!! I seriously think the last time i took one was when i was kid and i had completely forgotten how amazing they are. Best part is I now have the barracks to myself so the bathroom is all mine which means no worries about finding the errant hair from my dirt bag ex roommates. Life is good  :-D

I love baths as well, but I don't have a tub big enough for me to take a bath in, I always end up either halfway out of the water, or with my knees out of the water, and fuck that.

Tania that is exactly how I felt about my legs! They still look weird and freakish and my knees are so strange and I have stupid muscle definition in my calves and cellulite in my thighs and little red spots and veins everywhere and they're so pale they're purple but I want to wear skirts more, damn it, because they're quite refreshing in the springtime.

Also wearing jeans all of the time was giving me hella yeast infections. [/tmi]

Baths are wonderful. But, I kind of despise the idea of sitting in my own filth ... Because, if we look at it from a logical standpoint, we're merely sloughing the dirt off our bodies and INTO THE WATER WE'VE SUBMERGED OURSELVES IN. Blech. I do, however, take a nice relaxing bubble bath from time to time .. Promptly followed by a nice shower to make all the yickies go down the drain and OFF my body!

As for the shaving, I shave my pits with every shower, and my legs once a week. Though I'm a brunette, my leg hairs have begun to grown in lighter and thinner (thank-you pregnancy hormones!). 'Course, this change only occurred AFTER my daughter was born!

Yannow ... Now that you mention it, I did always wonder why the hell we shave our legs anyway. Most of my boyfriends always commented on the pointlessness (is that even a real word?) of shaving legs, and said they kinda liked it. But I never met a guy or gal who wanted a hairy pit. That's just stanky. Anyway, we should add the odd poll to get the legs-shaving take!

When I was eleven and in sixth grade, these two seventh-grade girls who stood behind me in the PE warmup lines spent one whole period talking about liking smooth-shaven legs and how they wished boys shaved.  I stood tiny, shivering, and embarrassed in my gym shorts, sure that they were staring at and judging my scrawny, hairy legs (and maybe they were, because middle school girls are assholes).

I went home that day and asked my mom if I could start shaving my legs.  Every time my legs start to get stubbly, I feel the red flush of shame bloom on my cheeks.  I remember my cotton gym shorts.  I remember the giggling girls behind me.  So I pick up the razor again.

Socialization.

Honestly, as a guy I would get rid of my hair if there was a way that was either quick or longer term. I'm tall, and my razors like to gum up on my beard hair, so it would take forever to shave my legs, and it would itch like hell when it started to grow back in. I just find the hair kind of gross, and it can cause itching when I get sweaty.

Smelling like humans has never been the most attractive feature of humanity. Especially as "humans" have frequently not bathed and washed for hundreds of years. The smell must have been horrific no matter how good a diet they had.

And I didn't use that much stuff whilst I was at uni, most of my shower gel was cheap or (if going out and wanting to smell extra good) stuff I got for Christmas or birthday, I made a bottle of that last until the following year pretty much. Maybe its because I have lived only at home or in a uni flat, but I've never thought that "lets go without showers" is a good idea, I'd sooner go without apple juice and drink water for a few months instead. And I'm sorry to say dude, but what the fuck can you be spending money on to not have enough to pull the chain? I mean you are presumably renting a place so you have a job, so you must have some money at the very least.

You can get it lasered off. A friend of mine is going to have his face lasered because he hates shaving. He is the type of fellow who waxes his chest though so...

I'm considering getting my back waxed. And now that I have started my sleeves I'm told I should get my arms waxed as well? I dunno.

Save even more money on flushes by only pooing at work!

I hate pooing at work. I only do it if I really really have to.

i pretty much never have to shave my legs. i do it maybe three or four times a year.

This is the opposite of surprising.

I'm kind of the opposite way, I honestly don't mind at all if a lady never shaves her armpits, and it definitely even suits certain people. It's not like if you did have hairy armpits they would get stinky, because you'd still be washing there. Most males have hairy armpits and most self-respecting males don't stink there. Alternately, I don't think there's any circumstances under which I'd find full-on hairy lady-legs attractive (stubble doesn't bother me). I do tell me girlfriend fairly often that it's entirely up to her if she wants to shave wherever she wants to shave and I have no problem at all if she's completely hair-covered, if that's what she wants, because she does complain about it every now and again. But she still keeps on shaving, so I guess that's that.

I am a pretty hairy lady. I have full hair.

Personally, I get distressed the few times I shave my armpits, cause I think hairy armpits are sexy. Smooth legs CAN feel nice but mostly they feel like wax or something, then the next day they're prickly and sucky. So I guess I would probably wax my legs? But I am usually too poor to do that.


I might shower today? I have not decided.

I've dated a girl before with hairy legs and have to say I hated it. I know people get use to it but for some reason i just couldn't. Laying in bed and our legs touching was just a weird feeling and not something i found at all pleasant. I of course respect your right to do whatever you want with your body, but ya hairy legs just aren't my thing at all.

Shaving started in WWII when nylon and silk were rationed for military use. Previously women wore stockings, so no one cared if legs were hairy, but to create the illusion of stockings when they ran out, ladies started to shave, put face powder on for even colour, and draw lines up the back with eyeliner and rulers.

Also, baths are actually better at getting you clean than showers. You are not actually sitting in filthy water unless you have been rolling around in mud and it is now floating on the surface of your bath, and soaking deep-cleans better.

A small point here ... The whole baths-for-relaxation-NOT-clean thing is my personal opinion. I'm not gonna sit here and harp at people for taking baths rather than showers. Though, it is damn adorable when my daughter's in her bath. Then again, I am biased and think that she's the cutest thing out there, seconded only by baby sugar gliders!

Re: armpits, someone just asked me about this and it looks like the ladies I've been with have been 50:50 with un-shaved legs/armpits versus not. Most recent lady offered to shave, I think my response was along the lines of 'I don't really care, whatever makes you happy in your body, maybe we can try it later and see our reactions'. Societal pressure on women to shave reinforces that women's bodies are imperfect and need fixing which is something I in no way wish to contribute to.


more like "hey man i am awesome and really pretty and i want to wear things that make me feel pretty, damnit"
So, has taking charge of your life and re-locating to a positive productive environment improved your happiness and feelings of self-worth to the point where you feel comfortable being pretty, OR are you just being influenced by all the pretty hipsters in Vancouver?

So I used to be on that "baths are not for getting clean" thing but I actually took a bath today because I have sore muscles and just generally feel shitty and I thought about it, but that "floating in yr own filth" thing is some bullshit. Like, I'm gonna assume y'all know how soap works, so as long as you are cleaning yrself with soap then the dirt is gonna bond to the soap and stay bonded, it's not gonna end up back on you. It's exactly the same principle as how yr clothes get clean and stay clean in a laundry machine, they're basically taking a bath and floating around in the same water as well. I think I'll be taking more baths from now on, baths rock (although they are kind of a waste of water)

I really like showers because they give me time to be utterly alone and free to think... With hot water running down my body!  Even if it's for only a few minutes, it's great and therapeutic.

I have not had a real shower since I moved to Scotland. The shower head in the bathroom is broken (you can only get ice cold or boiling hot water from it, won't mix at all), so I have to sit in the tub and shower with a bucket. It's terrible, but I've found a technique for how to get clean at least. This has changed the way I wash myself rather drastically! I used to have a shower every morning, but now I've switched to every other evening. The thought of the bucket in the morning (while I wait for the bucket to fill up inbetween 'showers' it gets feeezing cold, and I'm all wet, it's terrible) is probably the worst thing in the world, so it's better to wait till the evening when I didn't just climb out from the warm and cozy bed. I just wish someone would fix it soon. Apparently this would be no biggie for a plumber, but seeing how the state of eveything else in this flat is (the windows are broken and have been promised to be fixed in over a year, nothing ever happens, and my ceiling lamp died a month back, still no word from the landlady) I doubt I'll have a proper shower in this flat ever.

Oh, and there is never enough hot water to fill the tub, so I can't have a bath either. I've tried several times! I can't wait to go home for Christmas and have a proper shower.

This explanation, while interesting, seems too pat to me. I mean, there is a well established preference for hairless bodies in classic paintings of nudes.

Nah, it's just pretty fucking hard to draw/paint/sculpt authentic looking leg-hair.

(okay, I have no knowledge of arts whatsoever, but it seems like logic, right?)

Fuck painting/drawing leg hair. If ladies never shaved, it would be so fine that most wouldn't even notice from a distance. (Except for you hairy people who were just born with it.) I never ever draw leg hair.

I just showered for the first time in 2 days!

It was very refreshing.

I shave under my arms every few days because once it gets past like a millimetre it itches like hell. I rarely if ever shave my legs and I don't think it matters a whole lot.

I definitely agree with the peer pressure thing, though. When I was at primary school, so the oldest I could have been was ten and I think I was younger (as in, definitely pre-pubescent), I got called a gorilla by another girl my age for not shaving my legs. I had a complex about it for ages but I care increasingly less now, except when I'm around girls who intimidate me for other reasons, at which point I become acutely conscious of my leg hair and try to cover it up. It has never been a problem in any other situation though; none of the people I've slept with have even noticed. One of my friend's boyfriend berates her if she hasn't shaved that day and I think that is appalling, and pretty symptomatic of their entire relationship actually.

Shaving started in WWII when nylon and silk were rationed for military use. Previously women wore stockings, so no one cared if legs were hairy, but to create the illusion of stockings when they ran out, ladies started to shave, put face powder on for even colour, and draw lines up the back with eyeliner and rulers.

This explanation, while interesting, seems too pat to me. I mean, there is a well established preference for hairless bodies in classic paintings of nudes.

I meant for modern eras. Just like other fads regarding physical beauty, it has cycled in and out of fashion multiple times. The Romans were big fans of underarm shaving and face shaving and short head hair, I know that for certain, and I think leg and pube shaving was a thing too. Greek athletes shaved, I think, because you are slipperier for wrestling and all that.
