Do you shave you legs because you dislike your legs with hair on it or because you worry about others looking at you unshaven legs and being disgusted?

  1. Because the smoothness makes me feel sexy and the general sensation when shaved legs touch with each other, a blanket, etc., feels nice.

  2. I just prefer the feeling of smooth legs when I’m wearing something other than pants.

    I don’t shave them as much in the winter since I’m usually wearing my longer socks so I don’t notice my legs as much.

  3. I feel way more attractive and feel nicer with them shaved. My leg hair is extremely dark and thick.

  4. I was taught to be ashamed of natural hair, so started shaving when I was 11. Now I shave when I feel like it, and stay hairy when I feel like it. I don’t care what other people think.

  7. Because they feel itchy in leggings when the hair gets too long. idgaf what people think about how it looks.

  8. I shave whenever I feel the need to, and because I work with adults and teenagers that wouldn’t understand if I didn’t shave, as they cannot really process the idea according to their values. In the Summer, I also shave because I don’t want to have people looking at me with disgusted faces (they already stare from time to time and I don’t like the feeling).

  11. It makes me feel sexy and brings up my confidence. I feel more put together too, and it also makes wearing jeans feel better.

  12. I guess mostly because it’s the societal norm. I do care of other people staring and judging, can’t pretend I don’t.

    In the winter, if I’m not dating anyone, I don’t shave at all cause no one will see them.

  15. Cos i like having smooth legs, it makes me feel like im a successful white lady in new the york

  16. My legs get itchy when I don’t shave. They either have to be shaved daily or I have to grow the hair out long enough for the itchiness to go away. I also think it just looks and feels better in the summer to be hairless. But in the winter sometimes when I’m lazy and don’t want to waste as much time in the shower I don’t shave for the entire season LOL

  18. It feels nicer. But most of time I can’t be bothered to shave and I don’t care what others think.

  19. I wear leggings a lot and when I don’t shave I can see my leg hair thru the fabric… also freshly shaved legs make me feel like a brand new woman.

  20. I wish I could say it was just for myself, but in all honesty, it’s both.

    I work in a professional environment, and how I present myself (like it or not) factors into how I am able to do my job. I’m already pushing the boundaries a bit with my nose ring and some semi-visible tattoos. I’m fairly certain that not shaving, unless I wore pants all the time, would be a death kiss.

    I do prefer the feel of my legs smooth, although I hate the act of shaving.

  21. I don’t shave my legs. Having hairy legs makes me happy. I’m like a little saytr.

  23. I genuinely get itchy when I have leg hairs but don’t care. So I shave when I feel like it, or date night with the partner. Otherwise, if I have time, I’ll shave, if I don’t have time, I’ll leave them until I do

  24. If I don’t for long enough my mom will tell me to, so I guess to avoid being told to and feeling childish

  25. I like myself without body hair. I have pcos so this is a sore spot for me, I spent a lot of money and endured a lot of pain to be body hair free, and I really like it

  26. My legs feel itchy if I don’t shave. Also love the feeling when I get into bed and my legs feel silky

  27. I shave for ME. I have very blond fine body hair, but I don’t like the feel of hair on my legs. I like the way the feel when they are smooth.

  28. I suffer from dry skin and having hairy legs only exaggerates the feeling of snagging or prickling for me so i shave twice a week. I like to use body scrubs and shaving syrups to make it a nice treat tho

  29. Because society says it’s socially unacceptable for women to have hairy legs and I like wearing shorts and dresses. Also as an attorney it would be seen as unkempt and unprofessional.

    Sad but true. I’d love to society to change but I am a prisoner to it and don’t have the guts to try to stand up to social norms.

  30. I didn’t shave my legs last year but I got so many weird comments just by like walking around with my bare legs that I started doing it again this summer.

  31. I went about a year without shaving maybe 5 years ago. I did it kinda as a fuck you to society’s rules and because shaving is a chore, but I was very self conscious about it and when I finally shaved again I felt so much more confident and feminine. Now I shave or wax regularly and the act of doing so itself is a little feminine ritual I don’t take for granted anymore. It’s an act of self love for me even
