Yep, I’m so going there. My husband was out of town for work for a month. Which means that I let the self-maintenance go a little bit. As in, I didn’t shave my legs for nearly the entire month of January. As I used to say when I was younger and a tad neglectful of that task during the cold months — “I’m growing my winter fur.”
I had some major winter fur growing on my legs. Some of you might be grossed out. Some of you might come by this post because you have a hairy leg fetish. I bet more than a few of you will be thinking, “I do the same thing.”
Go ahead and admit it. I just did. I can’t believe how hairy my legs got! Makes me realize that when I read historical romances and the hero runs his hands along the heroine’s smooth legs, that’s TOTALLY BOGUS. More like he’s running his hand over her smooth fur.
Oh yeah I so totally went there. Hairy legs on women aren’t really sexy, huh? I mean check out these ladies:
Selma and Patty have got it goin’ on! Now confess – do you really keep up the leg shaving during the winter months? Or hey, maybe you’re single and have no man currently in your life. How about then? (Guilty of that too). Let’s talk hairy legs!

I have to confess when its cold out and I’m wearing my jeans instead of shorts I don’t shave my legs as often.

Oh yeah, I haven’t shaved in weeks. Although I’ve noticed that as I age, I have a lot less hair. I used to wax, which was great because I didn’t have to deal with things for weeks. But then I started getting ingrown hairs and had to stop.
Frankly even during the summer I don’t shave that often since it’s usually cooler here in the PNW and I wear pants often. :badgirl:
Lucky for me, the DH doesn’t care about hairy legs. But woe to me if I let the pits go.

I’ve noticed I have less hair too. It’s kinda nice. But I still can grow a nice forest on the legs. :tmi:

My best friend went years without shaving her legs. She hardly had any hair on her legs to begin with, so it wasn’t even noticeable, and felt soft. Stubble feels worse.
I can’t get away with not shaving for weeks, being part-werewolf. Blonde werewolf, but still!!

Jill I believe I’m part werewolf myself. And I had a friend like that – she could get away without shaving for weeks on end. I was so jealous.

I definitely shave less in the winter and when hubby is gone for a couple of weeks. But if anyone else is gong to see my fur forest, I’ll shave.
I had an aunt that came right from germany when I was a kid and my mom and grandma made a fuss over her when she came ‘home’ to meet them because she had never shaved her pits or legs and she thought it was jsut fine. My mom and grandma weren’t having it though. lol and showed her how to shave.
