When and why did women start shaving their legs?

Shaving one’s armpits especially in the summertime is a great way to beat the stink.

jdsmooth

damn that fashion!!!
if it wasn’t for some stupid fashion mongol, we wouldn’t feel the need for shaving our natural body hair…dammit dammit dammit

:fume: female who curses everytime the stupid hair grows out (like 10 min after shaving - dammit)

ps. Guys should NOT shave any of their bodyhair - that is so “girly”. :yay:

Speaking of pit hair…was anyone else weirded out when viewing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and seeing Daniel Radcliffe’s armpit hair? :noway:

AMEN!!! :notworthy:[/quote]

Not having an older bother (and a father who never talked about these things) I only had my older sister to turn to for pubescent advice. I knew she shaved her armpits, so naturally I thought it was normal. Somehow when I did it I got odd looks from everyone so I stopped…[/quote]

The guys were jealous and the girls wanted you. Your low self-esteem made you believe they were weird looks. :wink:[/quote]

Ah Notsu, if only that were true. Unfortunately I was in a boys school, so the looks came from other boys in the school and teachers…

No.
