Do you shave/wax/nair/whatever your legs in the winter?

I need to know.

Re: Do you shave/wax/nair/whatever your legs in the winter?

  • Hells no! But I am also very pale and virtually hairless on my legs. Don't be jelly. ;) I do shave my pits though.
  • I do but MH says I am in the minority. As far as I know, I am the only woman whose legs he has access to but I'm curious. LOL
  • I do, but probably not as much as I do during the warmer months. I shave my legs every other day during the summer, and maybe once or twice per week during the winter.

  • yes, but not as often as i do in warmer weather.
  • I shave my legs everyday/ every other day. I hate the way my legs look with hair and I usually wear shorts to bed and hate the way it feels against the sheets.

  • Not often... Maybe once every 2-3ish weeks

  • Yes but not as often.  In warmer weather prob every other day, in winter more like 1-2x per week.
  • yes but not as often as in the summer.

    although, i'm not terribly hairy in the leg area so my legs don't need to be shaved constantly in summer time either.

  • Everyday, it's just a part of my shower routine.

  • Honestly I thought I was good, shaving twice a week in the winter and then I went to get a pedicure and noticed my stubbly legs.  I swear the lady was talking about me in Korean and laughing!
  • Historically, I would shave about once a week in the winter (every-other-day in warmer weather). 

    Since the gymnastics required to accomplish this feat nowadays is getting to be a bit too much of a challenge, I don't think they'll be seeing the razor again for a long time.  Luckily, I seem to be in the minority whose leg hair growth has actually slowed down a lot during pregnancy and it's never been particularly thick anyway, so it shouldn't be too noticeable.

  • In the summer i have to shave my legs every day (unless im wearing pants) because my hair is dark and coarse, i hate it!

     In the winter i shave less often to take a break lol- maybe one to two times a week. My husband is rarely home to even notice so i spread it out as long as I can stand it.

  • Yes, but not as often as summertime.  With J, it's been hard to shave as often as I'd like, so I shave in sections- one leg below the knee one day, the next day the other one, then the thighs.  It's not a pretty sight, but at least I'm not an all out hairy beast.

  • Meh when ever I get around to it lately. The hair on my legs has become over soft and fine with pregnancy, I'm not complaining at all it's nice. In the summer I usually shave every other day-ish.

  • Yes, but not as often.  During the warmer months I shave every day.  In the winter it's more like 3 times a week.
