When do women stop shaving their legs. I have shaved every day for the last 40+ years and I am sick of it. Do you just quit or do you shave every few days?

I used the Epilady....just once. It ripped out the hairs from the roots and they never grew back. Ok so it hurt like the dickens but I save a bunch in razors. I haven't shaved my legs in 20 years!
i am one of the fortunate people. I have very light hair so my leg hair doesn't hardly show at all. I shave maybe two to three times a year. I am 49 and have been doing this for about 5 years.
I am over 60 and stopped shaving 5 years ago because I was sick of the hassle. I didn't then nor do I now wear anything sleeveless, I haven't had a bathing suit on in years and don't plan to do so. The hair on my legs, in the beginning, was quite dark and coarse, but lo and behold, when I stopped shaving, I noticed after some months it wasn't as bad as it used to be. Is it still there? Yes. Can I see it. Yes. Do I let it bother me? Absolutely not!
Honey
get yourself some NAIR,works wonders.
I would suggest the Epilady. It pulls hair out by the roots, not that much grows back, and that which returns is usually lighter and finer.
The first 3 times it hurt a lot, but if you rub your hand on your leg right after the pulling, the brain is confused and the pain lessens.
It might help if you could have someone do it for you in the beginning.
Wish they'd been invented years ago when I first started shaving.
Does anyone know if Epilady works on facial hair on lip and chin?
I only shave my legs if I'm wearing a bathing suit or sheer stockings. My hair was once very dark and noticeable when I was young, but now I'm 48 and it has diminished considerably. (It is a wives tale that once you start shaving you can never stop because your hair will grow in thicker. If that were true, nobody would be bald. They would just shave their heads until the hair grew in thicker!) I do still shave my underarms every day, because bacteria gets trapped in the hair and can cause body odor.
i just use the cream and im telling ya it took me like 10 min then washed it off and then my legs weren't hairy but shiny and it didnt hurt at all. And i just started today
I find I don't need to shave as much as I used to and I never do in the Winter unless we're going on a vacation....such as we just got back from. Took the kids to an indoor waterpark! I have never shaved above the knees and I hardly notice any hair there anyway. Also my hair is light. On the bottoms of my legs I hardly get any growth on the backwhere I guess it has rubbed on my pants for so many years and just doesn't grow anymore.
Summergirl asked if the epilady could be used on the upper lip. I tried to do that over a year ago and it irritated my skin so much that I got horrible raw blistered patches. It looked like I had some kind of horrible STD, and I still have scarring that looks like a faint moustache. On the other hand, though, my mother uses it to get rid of a few pesky hairs on her top lip with no ill effects. I guess I'm just hairer and/or more sensitive. I'd wax instead, that's what I do now.
If no one's looking, and you're not doing it for you, then who are you doing it for?
Hi,my name is Stacey, I'm 27, and I'm a waxer. Hi.
I just posted. That's me down there. I feel I left out a critical point. I meant that in my hairier moments, I'm not afraid to wear shorts and skirts in public. No one seems to comment on it, and if I don't have to hear anyone griping about it, then I'm fine with it. I feel it's only fair to warn you, however, to never swim with hairy legs. I don't know why, but something about slippery, sandpapery legs accidently brushing people in the pool always makes people gripe. Obviously, if you don't mind the griping, or if you are willing to threaten the hose, then advise is null and void.
If you don't want to - then don't. Everybody else is busy thinking about themselves anyway. Never really had the habit and I am 54 - with long hair on my legs, and will wear shorts. Be comfortable.
