Well I'm just wondering how much internal grooming people do? What about nasal hair as well? Cilia? Stomach lining? Are people making sure their intestines are laid out evenly? I mean I KNOW other people can't see it but ya'know pride in personal appearance an all

That article freaked me out a bit!

I always make sure my armpits are taken care of, my bikini line and my legs only more so in the spring/summer although I don't let them 'overgrow' by any stretch of the imagination in the darker months! lol

It's like this:

If my pits are hairy, I wear a long sleeved top.

If my legs are hairy, I wear trousers.

I probably go 3 weeks max without shaving my legs, and a week without doing my underarms.

 

I don't sweat the small stuff! That said, I do wear makeup and do my (head) hair every day.

I pluck my chin weekly too.....

I do admire her for standing her ground but it does just seem wrong...

See legs and bikini line, fair dos, but armpit hair is not for me. I freak if I go over a day without shaving them.

Don't they get sore? Mine get really sore with shaving so I do it as little as poss. I woudln't get them out all hairy though.

Nope, I do it in the shower if that makes a difference?

This is what I would say

My body is hair free!! 

I keep on top of my legs and lady garden bald and armpits are daily! 

I'm as smooth as a babies bum!

I shave everywhere every other day. I feel a lot happier and confident when i'm fuzz free.

Urgh I have to say I think it looks horrid, I often get a bit hairier than I'd like but would never show it off! I think it looks really masculine.

Ewwwww that's minging!

I remove all my armpit hair, yes, because I prefer how it looks ... But surely that's just our culture? In other cultures, us bald pitted girls would look weird or disgusting?!
I suppose I mainly remove it so I don't get BO. Isn't that why we have it though, it's 'designed' to trap sweat and attract a mate?! Funny that we do the exact opposite to do the same thing...
I think good on her. I am dreading dealing with this issue soon with A, judging by some of your responses, (not having a go) I'd better teach her how to remove body hair. Not sure I feel confident leaving her with a razor?! Maybe I should do it? Food for thought...

Beez how old is A? K started shaving her pits age 10 & now at 12 does her legs too
