Re: Theories as to why women don't shave their legs?
If you live in a hot climate (which I don't) hair under your arms helps to wick away the sweat, so its actually more hygenic and the sweat doesn't stay on your body. Its a cultural thing. I don't shave my legs in the winter, I like to stroke my hairy legs in the bath...
My husband couldn't give a monkeys whether or not I have hairy legs...thats why I love him (and his hairy legs)
I do shave my pits, just because I do...no real reason.

Re: Theories as to why women don't shave their legs?
I shave my legs every time I shower. I'm not sure why some women don't shave. All I know is that I hate having hair on my legs!!

Re: Theories as to why women don't shave their legs?
I agree that shaving, or not shaving your legs is completely a cultural thing. What you're exposed to is what is "normal" to you. If it was the norm for everyone to shave off their eyebrows, we'd all be sitting here eyebrowless!

I don't shave my legs.. that's because I don't have to...  I don't grow any hair on my legs at all so there isn't a need to shave.. thank god... Now, I do shave my underarms.. that's a must..
ME TOO!
OH and for some reason, I grow eyebrow hair like Groucho Marx.

I just interviewed a woman for a position in my group, and she wore a skirt suit and she had unshaven legs...my vision is terrible (even with contacts) and it was very noticeable...
I could never! I know other cultures love it, think it is great, blah blah blah but still think it's gross.

Re: Theories as to why women don't shave their legs?
I only shave from the knee down as well. I have never shaved my thighs and there really is no hair on them anyway.
I shave my legs at most once a week. I never wear skirts or shorts and DH doesnt care.

Re: Theories as to why women don't shave their legs?
Armpits I shave everyday- legs I try for every few days (just cause I'm lazy)- but always if I'm wearing a skirt or shorts.....

Re: Theories as to why women don't shave their legs?
I only shave my legs once a week, I have blond hair and it's barely visible. I only shave for the weekends (when I was single I'd shave before a date)
In the winter I only do it once a month.
It's just easier, better for my skin (which gets dry) and likk I said it's blond, and also very sparse and fine. So it's not a big deal for me.
