Shaved legs

[Delila]

How many here shave their legs during the summer? How do you find people react to this if they react at all? I ask this because I always shave I am going to my wifes family reunion and i know my leg hair will not be long enough to appear natural in time I am concerned that her family members will notice and say something. Has anyone had any similar experiences?

[SandyR]

Hi! I shave every morning in the shower. No one has said a thing other then one of my neighbors, but even he had no issues. Even my parents said nothing. Bottom line I really don't care what people think. I am hair free......


Hugs.

I shave my legs all year round and usually just wear long pants around certain people who I know would comment. Also, have noticed more guys out in public with shaved legs these days.
Jolene :)

[Patty]

Shaved legs year around. Wear shorts at work, only the first day, after shaving, did someone say anything. I see a lot of mens with shaved legs now.

[kaitlin]

Hi Megan81, I started shaving about 4 years ago and there hasn't been the first bad comment from anyone. I do have one neice that thinks it's real cool, she's 17. You think people notice what you wear or do, but the truth is very few people have a clue what goes on around them. Unless you are dealing with them one on one I dout they will pay any attention at all. Kaitlin

[sissystephanie]

I have been shaving my legs for many years. At this time of the year I wear short skirts,or skorts, and sometimes short shorts most of the time. No one ever says anything about my shaved legs. My dear departed wife knew of course, but the rest of the family doesn't even seem to notice.

BTW, how many of you who shave also put body cream on after shaving? I always do, so my skin is nice and feminine soft!:love:

Hi Megan,

I keep my legs (and arms) shaved and nobody reacts. If they have noticed then they don't care. However, the only time i feel a little self conscious about it is when its a little to long (stubbly) Then it is most likely to be noticed. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you think your leg hair is too short to look normal then shave just before you go. In my opinion your leg hair would need to be long enough to start to lie flat when wet not to be noticeable as "different". If they are smooth, people might notice, but will just get on with life and probably not think twice about it.

[Denise01]

I keep my arms and legs fully shaved year around.

Have been doing this now for well over 3 years, and no one has even made the slightest comment about it

Feels so nice with out the ugly hair, that i will never go back to letting it grow again.

Denise:happy:

[Lydia Hamilton]

I have shaved my legs and arms for quite a long time. I don't know if anyone notices or not. I am not bothered by what they think anyway. There is something to be said about getting older. Your whole outlook changes. Strangers will most likely never see you again. Relatives, well, your stuck with them. So, Go Forth Hairless!!! Lydia

[Lora Olivia]

As a shaver I have to agree with what the other girls have said. Just shave em off and don't worry about it. I shave armpits, chest, legs and naughty bits on a regular basis at least 3 times a week and i just don't worry what others think

[Stephenie S]

It seems quite clear from all the answers on this topic. No one notices and if they do they don't care.

When I first decided I wanted to shave all the time, I spent a few weeks observing other males in public, trying to figure out who shaved and whether I could tell. My little unscientific study revealed to me that you just can't tell, period. Some men have hairy legs, some men don't. Do the ones who don't shave? Listen to me, ---- YOU JUST CAN'T TELL.

So this whole thing is a big non-issue. Shave if you want. Stay hairy if you want. But don't agonize over not shaving because you think it will bother someone else!! It just won't. In the unlikely event that someone has the poor manners to question you about your lack of hair on your legs, just tell them you like it. It won't happen anyway.

And remember, many quite manly men shave their bodies, legs and all, all the time. Swimmers, wrestlers, body builders, bike racers, and models to name a few that come to mind. Just relax and shave if you want.

Haven't we put this issue to bed yet?

Lovies,
Stephenie

I have had one comment on my legs from one of my wifes friends. It was wow sexy legs, I think she was too far away to notice that they are shaved. It was also the first comment of any kind on my legs. I am on my third summer with shaved legs,and pits. The key is nubbies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are a dead give away. If you have them, wear paints.

[Bernadina]

I wouldn't be caught dead with hairy legs and wearing shorts.

[Meag]

I would, if I had anything to shave. My legs have been hair free for about 45 years. And I can count on both hands the number of times that someone has commented on my legs, and the most comments have been in the last few years. And the hair in the armpits stopped growing about 15 years ago, the hair in the bits area and the hair on the chest have thinned out so much that I shave want is left, a couple of times a week. If the rest of the hair on my body would stop growing, I would be a very happen girl..

[stormrider]

I am not as near to my ancestors as most people I guess. I never even had to shave every day until I was nearly 30 so most people who know me think that my legs never grew hair. I have had a couple of wise comments about my hairless legs, but that was actually befor I started shaving them. I agree with everyone else, unless you look like a bear when you get out of the shower in the morning, shave em girl!

Hi all,

Yes I also shave my legs every day after exercising. Doing this in the summer is somewhat awkward since I do like to wear shorts while in drab mode. If I go to the store in drab mode, I'll wear shorts, but if I go to a get togethers at a friends house, I'll wear long pants. Apparently my wife seems to accept this.

All said, I think it is worth it for those few times that I can get out of the house in girl mode and do some fun girl things like shopping for clothes and makeup.

I did this a few days ago while my wife was out for 6 hours. It was wonderful. I wore a skirt, sandles, and a top. I think I passed fairly well, since no one said anything as I tried clothes on in dressing rooms at different stores.

[Vash]

I keep my legs hair free (waxed) year round. I am not hairy to begin with so no one notices the hair free legs anyway. Also, I check to see if others have hairy bodies so I can compare, and quite frankly I notice a lot of people have very little body hair.So go ahead and shave. The only people who will probably notice are people like me

[Glenda58]

I shave everything all year and go to family reunions visit my daughters even golf in the league at work. And have had only one person ask me and then drop it.

[BarbaraTalbot]

I was waiting for just after an event with my 8 year old son that involved swimming. He can't swim so I knew I was going in to help him. I held off because I thought it might look funny. Anyway a week before that was the father=son camp out. We stopped at natural bridge sate park and did some hiking. A man and his wife and two daughters was just ahead of us on this very steep trail.

His tanned calves were either shaved or he is a recent radiation treatment survivor! I felt silly for even having worried.

I had planned to keep long pants covering but since I shaved I go everywhere in drab shorts. Yesterday, I was trying on some womens jeans at the thrift store, and realized that under the door all you see is my calves (smooth) and my painted toes. I was in the one of the two out of six stalls reserved for men. only the symbol on the door told the gender inside.

[Mitch23]

I'm a recent shaving convert and no-one either notices or cares! Except my wife whose still not keen! You can't really wear girlie summer fashions with hairy legs now, can you?

Mitch

[gmss]

Hi megan81 -

I concur with the others that suggest that it does not need to be a concern at all.

Suggestion: Think of some non-chalent reason ahead of time, then if anyone asks, you can brush it off at a seconds notice... that usually works, and that should be the worst case scenario....

[Agles]

id say wear pants if your worried. but personally i do shave and the only people to say anything bad are my father and well myself. my father things im gay or something. as for me i hate when i shave then see that my legs are as white as a ghost. i so need to get a tan or atleast pick up some of that spray on stuff one of these days.

[Sasha Anne Meadows]

no one has ever noticed

[EmilyM]

I keep mine shaved year round and wear shorts everyday to work, and only have had a few questions. My reply is that I break out from heat rash and the doctor told me that if I shaved my legs more air could get to my skin. No one has ever said a word. I let them grow back in last winter and the hair was very sparse and blonde, so a couple of brazilians ago she waxed my legs and they have been hair free for three months and it feels so much better. Plus, red toenails or pink toenails do not look cute with hair on the legs.

[SandyR]

I must add that my Daughters 19 year old BF shaves his legs. Also my kido thinks I am pretty hip dad for keeping my legs clean.

Hugs.

[Mary Jane]

I shave my legs all year and wear my shorts in the summer. Go ahead and shave and wear the shorts. If anyone says anything just tell them you hate hairly legs and decided to shave them. You certainly have every right to do as you wish. Personal preferences vary just like any other thing in life.

[trannie T]

I've shaved my legs for a few years and if anyone has noticed they haven't mentioned it. I have shaved my arms for six months with the same non-reaction.

[AmberDay]

I shave my legs 365 days a year, well almost. I drive a bus through Dayton, Ohio and nobody notices or if they do, they don't care. I think people don't care. Only one friend (who does not know about my crossdressing) asked if I shaved them and I told her that I did; I couldn't stand leg hair. She agreed. She hates leg hair. My wife would prefer I didn't shave them but to me it isn't a femme thing, it is more of a comfort. Even she admits leg hair is uncomfortable. I recently got back from a family reunion, many who are in the military and not one person out of 70+ said a word.

I apologize if I offended anybody. I don't want another infraction.

[JoAnnDallas]

I keep my legs, chest, and arms shaved all the time. Since I don't have a lot of body hair anyway, wife doesn't notice and I wear shorts on weekends. This last weekend, I even worn my short shorts. They are kinda like bathing trunks. LOL Anyway, they really show off my legs and we went shopping and no one seem to care or notice. Then too that Saturday morning, I got up early, took a shower and shaved my legs real smooth. LOL The only problem was when we started to leave, she stoped me and said, "puts some socks on". I looked down at my feet, My RED toes were showing thru my sandels. LOL She doesn't mind me walking around the house bare footed, but not in public.

[Stephenie S]

So far, NO ONE has said, "OMG, don't shave your legs, everyone will laugh at you".

[karynspanties]

I keep mine shaved all year. Only one to say anything was my daughter. I just told her that I hate body hair, which I do. Her response..."cool, I wish my fiance would do the same"...

[Jamie001]

Hi JoAnn,

It is too bad that you can't display you red toenails in public. I don't really crossdress, but am more of a fashion freestyler and I live in open-toe sandals and everyone can see my red toenails. Red has become the natural nail color for my toenails.

There are more celebrities wearing nail polish in public such as:

Kate Becansale's husband, Tori Spelling's husband.

Google for "nail polish" or "painted toenails" or "polished toenails" and the following people:

Shaquille O'neil (paints his toes himself, this has been written-up in sports magazines many times)

David Beckham (Also wears sarongs, women's underwear, and pink nail polish)

Chuck Liddel (Ultimate Fight Challenge Champion) has red or bright pink toenails. You can see him on Spike TV with his toenails always displayed.

Since you get professional pedicures, you should definitely wear your red toenails in public in open-toe sandals. It is such a liberating experience to have totally fem toes in male mode.

[kassandra richard]

My wife hates it that I shave my legs; my daughter has commented that she likes it (what does she know, she's only 11 :)

Apart from that, I never get comments on the hairless status of my legs. What I get are comments on the raging bulls that are my calves. I've only recently started riding my bike again, and my mother-in-law commented on the fact that they were real cyclist calves. Maybe the rest of my physique then (when properly hidden) matches more of the female body-builder :p

Kassandra

[StephanieH]

I keep mine shaved year round now and like others, nobody's ever said anything and I've never noticed anybody pointing or whispering either. I don't think people really pay attention to that kinda' stuff any more because a lot of "normal" guys shave their legs now for a wide variety of reasons. It's rather chic now to be mostly hairless, so take advantage of it.

And like someone's already said as well, if you become too worried about it, just wear long pants or jeans when neccesary. I wouldn't worry though, odds are, nobody will even notice.

Take care! :happy:

[bobi jean]

I've been shaving the body for over 7 years, and have had two comments. one about 5 years ago by a GG cousin, and one last week by an aquaintence. She (a real GG, and lady) aksed if I shave my legs. Of course I answered with yes I do. She asked if I cycle and i said no, I just prefer to not have hairy legs. SHE SAID HEY THATS COOL, I NEVER DID HAVE TO SHAVE, MY SISTER GOT ALL THE HAIR IN MY FAMILY. WE THEN TALKED, IN FRONT OF and with SEVERAL OTHERS FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES ABOUT SHAVING LEGS. I personally had always dreaded the time that that was going to happen. Ya know what, it was enjoyable, and somewhat educational.
GO HAIRLESS, it is a lot more comfortable.

[JoAnnDallas]

Jamie001.......I was going to go out with them showing, but had to please the wife. LOL

[gabe]

As the slogan of a certain athletic shoes manufacturer says: "Just do it"

If people ask why go ahead and tell them you are shaving your legs to save our planet, shaved legs keep you cooler in the summer, you can turn the air conditioner up (or is it down?) by a couple degrees. :p

[Kellicd]

I've been shaving now for about 3 months. How do you avoid the rash around the pubic area?

[gabe]

I have been shaving for years, here is what works for me. Replace your razor frequently, always shave with the grain first, then shave against the grain a few times afterward while holding your skin taut. I found hair conditioner is a good 'shaving cream'.

[allin]

:happy:I shave all over. I shave my arms.legs,chest and private parts. no one has said a hing, including my family doctor and his staff. I also notice that I feel very fresh all the time and I have little on no BO, even after exercising. I wish I had shaved many years ago. It feels so great.

[JessicaDC]

I'm lucky since I'm asian we can get away with not having much body hair. But I've always told my so's in the past that I don't like body hair. I try to shave as often as I can but it's such a pain in the ass! I dunno how girls do it...but yes, I shave regularly and I love it. It makes me feel super sexy.

[Marcie Sexton]

At first I had a few people make comments about my hairless legs, but I had an out if you will, where I had gastric bypass, my body doesn't absorbe B12 as a normal body would, thus shots and sublingual tabs for me, but B12 also helps promote healthy hair grown...which also covers the rest of my missing body hair too...

[Wendi0012]

Megan, come on hun one of the fringe benee's is shaven legs that are smooth to the touch look raviisning in the nite light. If some family member is staring at your legs long enough to not notice any hair then that's one boring party and get out!! Just kidding hope u have a good time and don't forget to shave your legs for the party. Let us know what happens Hugs,

[Ammdi]

I keep these shaved....
< - - - - - - -
365 days a year.
Nobody says anything.

[natasha]

I have been shaved for going on two years, no one has said a word. I too was extremly worried about what people would say.......nothing, nadda, zero, zilch. My wife now comments if my legs get stubbly, therefore i now must keep them shaved smoothed all the time. This winter I will start keeping my arms shaved also. If if were ever to believe that I could stop cd'ing i would probably still stay shaved, it such a much better feeling than being all hairy.

[Jenna Lynne]

One of the weird things about getting older -- and I don't know if it's because my body is producing less testosterone, but that would make sense -- is that most of my leg hair disappeared on its own. It's been years since I shaved (starting again in about three days!), but if you see me in shorts you'd think I shaved unless you got up close to my kneecaps with a magnifying glass.

I go to the gym four times a week in shorts, and it is _so_ not an issue. Of course, if I were a hairy guy and had leg stubble it might be more obvious that I was going to some extra trouble.

Hey, that rhymes! "If I had leg stubble, you'd know I go to some extra trouble."

***Jenna***

[Ruth]

To shave or not to shave is such a hot topic (legs that is). I love the look and feel of shaved legs so I very much take the view that people can think what they like. Truth is, I don't think people in general are studying our legs (not like they would if we were 20-something GGs!). Also, personally I am not a very hairy man so I don't think my bare legs look odd. I think it would be more of an issue if one were self-conscious about them.
But the answer for you is to do what you are comfortable with.

I told a girl at work that I shaved my legs - she just thought that I didn't have very hairy legs - not a big deal!

[joaniecd]

I been shaving everthing for years,legs chest ,arms. The hair doesnt grow like it used to. I can shave once a week now. No one has ever said a thing about my hairless legs or arms. I have had complimants about smooth my legs and arms are, the secret is to moisturize alot. i think it is the reason hair has stopped growing and has thinned.

[Angie G]

I was going to stop for the summer but then thought the hell with it and shaved on one seems to have ever notticed :hugs:
Angie

[windycissy]

I shave my whole body all summer, and my just keep it off year round from now on, it feels so great and nobody pays any attention any more. Of course, family reunions are dodgy and you may have to put up with an odd comment. How does your wife feel about it? If she's cool with it, then I say go for it. If you're uncomfortable, can you just wear long sleeve shirts and pants?

[stephanie100]

legs pits arms chest though in the case of legs not often not meny hairs dare grow :heehee:

[ronna]

Let me say, the discomfort of wearing bluejeans in the blazing heat just so somebody won't notice you don't have hairy legs is not worth it! I did that for a while but now the hair grows back so slowly I don't even wait for it seasonally. There are some guys who I would prefer did not see me shaved so I'll slip on some lightweight lounge pants to avoid being noticed, but really, does anyone care?

[Sara316]

If anybody has ever noticed, they've said nothing. And I worry about it so little that I've never thought even a little about what I might say if somebody did comment.

[Melissa Cross]

I have been shaving my legs for over 2 years now and nobody has ever siad anything. I wear shorts in the summer too. I go to a gym and notice that most guys there have little if any hair on their legs. I keep my arm hair closely trimmed but not totally shaved yet.

Melissa

[Ashley Lyn]

Guess I'm in the minority here, but most 'girls' don't have the little "chicken legs" that I have been given...:eek: I get all kinds of 'comments' until I am able to get a decent tan on the skinny things, so they don't stand out so much.. Drat, if I was 'shaved' I'd be 'put on a pedestal' and humiliated! :(
(not that the idea is bad, but not in that sense)...:rolleyes:

Anyhow, I am only able to shave in October, after the boating/golfing season, and prior to the hopefully annual 'cruise' the DW and I try to take each year! SO is supportive at that time, and is even willing to help! :happy:

Guess I'll just live with the skinny things I have, and deal with the 'fur' even tho' it isn't what I would prefer! If everything had turned out just perfectly, I woulda' been born a GG, and looked like Stevie Nicks in the 70's... :D

[Miss Lulu]

Been shaving for years and never had a comment. Except from my son, who used to see me hairy, had asked me why I was shaved. "Hair attracts black flies" I answered. That was it,... Never heard anything from anyone else.

PS: I do have to explain myself if someone sees my coloured toe nails though. --I blame it on my wife's fantasies! (LOL)

[Ashley Lyn]

PS: I do have to explain myself if someone sees my coloured toe nails though. --I blame it on my wife's fantasies! (LOL)[/COLOR][/B]Which is what the SO said I should 'say' if we ever got 'caught' out and about... :eek:

Every now and then we 'go for a ride' while I'm "dressed".. Such a HOOT! :D

Everyday 365. I hate body hair, and it don't go with satins & Lace.

[Cathy38c]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with men shaving their legs. Swimmers do it before competition - less resistance. Bicyclists do it to prevent infection due to a road burn from a spill. I do it because I do not like body hair. It is hot and smelly, traps Body Oder (BO), and is just better hygiene. I was only questioned twice. once during my National Guard annual PT Run, when one of the girls noticed my legs, and thought they looked neat. My doctor asked why I shaved my pubic, and I told him the same thing, "I don't care for body hair." He agreed.

[karen marie]

this subject sure comes up alot. we're girls,we are
susposed to shave our legs. "get out the razor girls."
karen.

[Cheryl T]

This is my first summer fully shaved. I entered into it with trepidation fearing the comments that some co-workers and family might make and the looks I might get in public.
To be honest... it went unnoticed.

I waited for the flurry of barbs and they never came. Now a month or so later I don't even think about it.

[Tasha T]

I just shaved my legs (and entire body for that matter) for the first time in 10 years and it feels great! The only problem I have is with getting red bumps and rashes. That's why I stopped shaving before. It would be nice to just be free of body hair and not have to deal with the side effects.

So far no one has noticed or commented, but I do feel self conscious.

[tanya3]

i keep my legs shaved year round as well as the rest of my body . i am very hairy if i don't . ican't stand all that hair and as far as anyone asking i say just that .

[Davinia]

Hi Girls
I moved to Spain from the UK last February. My GG and I have used nudist beaches for a couple of years and I noticed several men who shaved their entire bodies. I tried it and its wonderful. I feel so much better in my favourate mini with sofr hairless legs.
Unfortunately I have to let it grow at the moment as my 28 year old daughter and 2 friends are visiting in a couple of months and she might find it odd. When she's gone off it comes.
I spend most days in a T shirt and shorts and have noticed no discernible reaction. I think most people don't even think about crossdressing and therefore don't find a hairless man that odd.
I just wish I could find an easier way of removing the bloody stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!

Davinia

[Kitty Kat]

i always cut my legs so much when i shave them i feel like i am going to faint... i cut them because i am a blantent dunce so now i use the more painful yet safer wax strips and hair removing cream

[Shelly67]

A family member of mine ( whom I,m sure suspects my dressing ) has made several " bitchy" remarks about my looks , be it my eyebrows or recently my shaven legs . Out load in front of family , friends and neighbours came a comment , " my are youre legs smooth then ? " in full look at me I,m making a comment - gonna embaress you - attitude . Everyone went quiet looking straight at me . Now I,ve had more than enough of this of late ( normally I go very quiet ) but this time I playfully rubbed my thigh and replied "you,ll never know " smiling and looking at her straight in the eyes.So , in short , if it happens be honest - be jovial ( I dont mean tell the world of youre dressing ) but if pressed just remark it feels and looks better in youre opinion Personal grooming is up to the individual - rock stars and sportsmen do it ....
But for serious advice ....if youre gonna epilate for the first time - be prepared - ouch !

[Debbie47]

I shave mine year round. I have to take showers at work and a couple have noticed the lack of hair but I do have a good excuse. I tell them I am an avid cyclist and they leave me alone. I do actually ride alot.

[JoAnnDallas]

I just picked up a can of Sally Hansons "Spray on, Shower off" hair removal. I will not get a chance to try it out until Saturday. Can't wait to see how well it works. It is a new product for Sally Hansons. The direction says it can be applied to legs, chest, abdomen, arms, and hands. just spray the areas, wait three minutes and then take your shower. Sally Hanson also has another hair removal product for the face. I might try this one a later date.

[Catherine_CD]

Would love to shave legs oneday, the feelings of shear stockings on them will be great :)

[Mandy60]

I shave my whole body every morning. It feels so good with no hair on your body.

[lisablack44]

I shave everthing, everyday. It's like mowing the lawn, it's very easy if you keep it up. I wear shorts everyday, all year round, and I have not had one comment made about it. Here in Florida, it really does seem to keep you cooler. I have thought about what I would say to someone if they questioned my bare skin, and my reply would simply be, because I like it that way. Lisa

[tall_brianna]

smooth legs and shiny toes are not negotiable. I had the same fears at the beginning of the summer and started letting the hair grow back but I just couldn't do it.

No one has said any thing about the shaving but people do for some reason notice the pedicured toes :) I don't care. My canned response to any questions is the same as the rest. "Because I like it!"

[janet1234]

I am lucky, my legs are virtually hairless, in fact I don't have a great deal of body hair (including head), oh well.

[Reba Kay]

I only had one time that someone said anything about my shaved legs in the summer. I was over at my brothers house swimming in his pool with several friends and family and someone said something about my smooth legs, so I said I had gotten a rash and had to shave my legs to put the treatment on them. They all fell for it and was never ask again. Reba Kay

[Melissa Cross]

In addition to shaving my legs, I keep my toe nails polished almost all the time. I usually keep them covered up with shoes and socks when I'm around people but I have recently left them exposed when people are at the house. Nobody has said anything yet. During the summer I use a light pink polish. What are other experiences with polished toenails during the summer?

So, at the moment, friends and family see me with shaved legs and polished toenails and nobody has said anything.

I usually get pink or red, but for the summer I've pulled back a little. I wear flip flops or sandals most days. I first just had them buffed but the last couple of trips to the salon I've gotten clear finish. Well, in certain light the clear looks like light pink. It was in one of those settings last night that my son noticed. "Your toes are polished... pink." "No son, actually it's clear polish that just looks pink in this light. It only took you three weeks to notice."

i used to shave but it's faaaaaaaar too much work as you have to do it every day. so how do we fix this well here in MN we go to target and get what's called a "silk epil" it is an epillator very similar to the epilady but far less pricey. for those who don't know it has several dozen sets of automated tweezers on a sort of roller thingy that pull the hair out by the root. it's kinda like waxing only slower. lol yes the first couple of times you use it it can hurt a bit BUT there are some cool things that happen because of using it. one since the hair is removed from the root when it grows back it is A) slower to do so and B) it is thinner and lighter. the more you use it the less it hurts but it's usually good for about 2 weeks at a shot even when you first start. i love mine and actually use it on my legs, arm, and chest and yes even my butt. it makes for silky smooth every time.
not to be redundant it does hurt quite a bit especially in those sensitive areas when you first start but no more so than waxing. the one i got came with two different heads one with less tweezers than the other which pulls less hair thus taking longer but not hurting so bad. it hurts less than a tattoo but it can be fairly uncomfortable. however again the more you use it the less it hurts and a friend of mine used one for about 3 years and was able to stop using it altogether as the hair on her legs became so thin and blond it was hardly noticeable kinda like that "peach fuzz" hair on a GG's bottom. anyway i love mine and am quite used to it now and you talk about working it's awsome!

[Elizabeth Anne]

I made the decision when I shaved my legs for the first time that I would give up shorts & going swimming in order to have smooth legs 12 months a year. Never looked back.

[Hali]

wat a coincidence to hav com accross this thread, cos i havnt shaven ma legs for like one and a half years thats because am not a neat girl no! cos i dont hav much hair on ma body naturally, but just yesterday night i felt so "GIRLY" and i ended-up shaving all the hair on ma body, hey may be cos i dont hav much hair (naturally), people hardly notice, nobody ever say a word, may be they dont know wat to say, besides i hardly move around in shorts, mostly in trausers. Suprise girls people are really tolerating Crossdressing this days especially mild CDING.

[KrissyKox]

What girl wants to be caught dead with hair on their legs. I shaved everyday in the shower. Legs, underarms, everything gets the once over..
Besides it's soooo sexy.

Exactly. Couldn't have put it better myself.:o

[joann07]

Been shaving my legs for almost a year, and I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner.
Its amazing how much your legs feel especially when wearing a nice pair of pantyhose. I love it.
I was hesitant at first, but after I realized that nobody notices I'm not nervous anymore.
The key is is to not make it obvious. If you draw attention to your legs, then of course people are going to notice.
Just go about your business as if its no big deal.

[Cathy38c]

Lets get this shaving thing squired away.

First if you wear panties, bra, nylons, slips, camisoles or any other type of silky, satin, lacy clothing, you must be shaved otherwise you will look like a gorilla in panties. Not a pretty picture.

Second, shaving your body is not hard. Take a hot bath or shower, I prefer shower, use a gel type body wash, and shampoo. I prefer a women's razor such as Gilliet Venus. The girlyer the better. If you have more then a 1/4" of hair then you might want pre-shave with hair clippers BEFORE you get wet. Once you are ready to shave, shave in sections. one leg, then the other, your butt, Your chest, Underarms, shoulders, then your crotch if desired. Find your own comfort pattern. Shampoo actually softens the hairs making them more accessible to the blades of the razor. The upper back is without question the hardest area to shave. I have my salon girl give me a back wax about every 3 weeks. After your shave, lather with Ex foliating gel soap. This removes any oils and dirt from the hair foliacal. Once you are into the body shaving, continue once everyday just as you would shave your face but never more then once a day to prevent razor burn. I shave ever morning during my shower as if it were apart of bathing.You will find that it will be almost second nature, and fast. As a side note. If you desire to shave the groin area, it is not any harder then shaving your face. You can actually give yourself a "Brazilian" shave by reaching up under your legs. Practice will help. After your shave, apply a body cream and you will find the panties, bra, nylons, slips, camisoles will feel 100&#37; better next to your girly skin

Joann sweetheart, you need not kick yourself - better late then never. Even if they notice, chances are they forget about it in a couple seconds. My shaving was only notice once by a GG and she thought it to be cool. You do have pretty leg, Joann.

[kerensa]

I use an epilator on my legs which hurts for the first couple of mins but then you get used to it very time consuming though and legs look red and blotchey for the first day or so afterwards but at least they stay hairless for longer than shaving, no one has ever said anything about me being hairless but if you are looking for a cop out just say you have taken up cycling as i no for sure all pro cyclist shave their legs

[KelliBennett]

I've been shaving on and off for years (used to be a competative cyclist) but returned to it recently about 5 years ago. I still go swimming and wear shorts while in drab guy mode.

Only once has anyone ever said anything and it was a GG. She was suprised and wanted to see and touch them. Got a compliment on my legs and she thought it was cool.

Other then that, nothing, not from my family or in-laws.

Far as I am concerned lots of guy do it, Bodybuilders, cyclists, swimmers, and quite a few for hygne. I love it for a number of reasons then just having silky hose on them. I am cooler in the summer without it.

I will also state that I do shave everywhere else too.

Personally now that we control our environment Heating and cooling and wear clothes, the need for body hair is going to evolve out of us. Don't believe me look at a man in his mid 40 on up. Someone who has worn dress socks for 25+ years into the office. Most of the hair below the knee have been worn/cooked off.

[Dita_B]

Except for my head and brows, I shave everything, including pubic. I hate body hair. I wouldn't go without shaving my legs, as I always wear thigh-highs, when dressed.

I have never received any comments, not even from my un-accepting SO.

:love:Dita.

[Deborah Jane]

I,ve been thinking about shaving my legs and body for a while.[normally i wear 2 pairs of tights_too hot!!!].but this weekend i,m gonna go for it after reading the posts here:happy:

[suzy]

There are a lot of men where I work that have hairless legs and no one thinks anything about it. I don't know if they shave or if they are simply hairless as most are in their 50's and 60's but I have seen plenty of mens hairless legs and no one says a thing.
:hugs:

[Z. Teoni]

Well I can tell you that people do notice when a man shaves his legs or shapes his eyebrows. However they usually will not say anything to the person about it but they will say something after the the person has left. Women especially notice these type of things. However despite that, I must say I see many men with shaved legs and it is more common than I would ever thought.

[Chelseaswpa]

I shave mine, I can go a few days though, as I was blessed with little body hair to start. I have been leaving some on my shins, but once cool weather gets here it will be gone NEVER TO RETURN :) I was at a function a few weeks ago and some guy was checking my legs out; I looked right at him and winked- giggles- HE didn't return the wink though LOL. I have not had anyone comment yet.

[Kaila]

I am thinking of finally shaving mine this weekend. It is the last area as I have been shaving my chest, stomach and underarms for the last couple of months since I told my SO about my desire to crossdress. She has been very accepting and she has even bought me a couple of pieces of jewelry.

Kaila

[CarrieAnneEvers]

For me, shaving my legs is an essential (and exciting) part of getting into girl mode. Gillette Venus razors are so awesome, and they look girly (which is a plus in my book). I really enjoy shaving my legs, but shaving the pits, face and chest is another matter. Just a necessary evil.:devil:

[Kiera20mi]

No one really cares about hair with me. So i just shave it off. I shave my underarms and my forearm hair isnt ever shaggy so i dont need to. I shave my back butt privates and beard of course.. lol yep i am a shaver for ever!

[Jamie001]

Girls,

Why does this thread go on-and-on week after week? I think that all girls know that shaving your legs is an extremely important part of being a girl. So the question is" "Why do so many girls here ask week aftter week about shaving their legs?". I believe that the answers are:

1. If you are going to be a girl, you must have shaved legs. Nobody likes hairy legs on a girl.

2. You have a right to shave any body part that you like to shave. Ever notice all of the guys with shaved heads? I am sure they don't go around asking for permission to shave their head! Do you really think that these guys go around and ask permission to shave their heads? After shaving their heads, do you think that they worry about how they are perceived? Enough said.

3. Be proud of your shaved legs because you have every right to shave them. Wear skirts or shorts to show them off. Better yet, wear colorful capris in male mode.

4. If someone is rude enough to ask about your shaved legs, tell them that you like them shaved. Also tell them that they feel so much better in pantyhose. Don't make-up lame excuses about being a biker or swimmer. Be proud of who you are!! The lame excuses that I hear on this forum sicken me. :sad: Be enough of a big girl to stand-up for what you like and not be imtimidated. Are you girl enough? :thinking:

5. Don't forget to get a professional pedicure and have your toenails painted a pretty red or pink color. It is important for a girl to have pretty toenails. Also, wear open-toe sandals in both girl mode and drab mode to show-off your pretty toenails. If anyone asks you about your toenails, tell them that you like to have them painted. It is no different than wearing diamond earrings and many men already do that. Be proud of your toes and don't be afraid to show your pretty toes and shaved legs in guy mode. It is the only way to get crossdressing slowly accepted. :2c:

6. Don't post here every week to ask if shaving your legs is "ok". Instead, ask important questions like "what is the best way to remove hair from you legs". You can then discuss waxing vs shaving vs laser vs electrolysis. These are interesting topics.

7. To summarize: Girls must have shaved legs so get out your razors, make a waxing appointment and get rid of that hair on your legs! You can't be a girl without having shaved legs. Don't ask if it is "ok" to shave your legs, just do it and be proud of your shaved legs, and also don't make-up excuses about why you shave your legs. Be proud of the girl that is inside of you and don't try to hide or suppress her. She is part of you and she needs to express herself.

:2c:

i shave my legs all year round,1 lad recentley asked, but as i do cycling
i used that as an axuse as alot of prof cyclists shave there legs for helth resons ,but as a note i read a few years back some body builders n boxers also shave there legs, and whoes going to laugh at them?:heehee:
ps i also paint my toenails

[jenny logan]

I have shaved everything for years. Never once was questioned about it. In fact I would imagine if I every showed up at a family function with hair on my chest, etc. it certainly would provoke some questions. Don't miss the hair and my SO loves the smooth feel so I have no plans on stopping.

Jenny L.

[Marcie Sexton]

I go where ever i choose with my shaved legs:heehee:, I have found that people in general are much to busy with their own world to worry about ones leg hair...

Plus if you have read some of my previous post I do have a medical out...

[Claudia Zylindrias]

i wax / epilate my body hair often. I have too agree that most don't notice or care. Its a personal grooming standard as long as the rest of you is well kept. Remember we live in the aftermath of queer eye for the staright guy.

[Jamie001]

You don't need excuses other than you like smooth legs!!! That is a cop-out. When women started wearing masculine items their response when asked was "because I like it". Please don't use cop-outs.

[rebeca_abigail30]

My wife thinks it's all about the CDing if I shave.

What do other GGs think about their MTF CD shaving?

[Brenda Locke]

Megan.

These days I do a complete body shave, that is Legs, Arms & Chest. I have only been doing my arms since Nov. of last year but still have not been asked about it at all. As for my legs and chest well thats been going on for years, also with no one mentioning anything.
If you and your SO are comfortable with you shaving your legs what difference does it make in the long run what other people think or say about it. Just go for it, do what makes you feel best.

Take Care.
Brenda.

[Charlene Ogden]

I can't believe I'm responding to this old thread but it may help someone.
Yes, I've shaved in the summer before. I don't do it anymore because Atlanta is very humid during the summer and I can't dress anyway.
I used to shave all the time when I lived out of state. My wife's family as seen my legs but never made any comments to my face about it.
A couple old friends used to tease me regularly but they remained my friends as I hid my secret from them.
One friend suspected me of dressing and offered to take my picture but I denied CDing.
Alot of people said that they never noticed that I had shaved until I brought it to their attention.
My best advice is that if you plan on shaving, you should shave all the time.
I only shave from Fall through Spring and I'm almost always wearing pants.
I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[Tara Julliette]

Had the house to myself today, and took a long bath and just couldn't resist seeing what shaving my legs would feel like. Yummo!

Yes its my first time.

Wow, its wonderful. What a soft smooth feeling. Kindoff sexy too. No-wonder girls do it. Then panty hose all day long.

Such a simple thing makes me feel so feminine.

[jeri1973]

I've have been shaving my legs for several years during the fall and winter. Always letting it grow back in April and May. Just the other day after reading some of these posts I decided to give the trimming gradually thing and it is working. I've used a number 3 on the trimmer and then after a few days went to a number 2. Tommorrow I will be using the number 1 and if I still don't get any comments I'm going to shave for the rest of the summer. Being here in the south it will stay hot up until the middle of october so there will still be plenty of time. Smooth legs really are HOT in my opinion.

Jeri

[Charlene Ogden]

Reading all these comments reminds me of the line from the movie Shawshank Redemption where Tim is wearing the wardon's shiny polished shoes back to his jail cell.
Tim comments " No one looks at a man's shoes". It's so true. Nobody really gives a hoot about a guys legs. Most people won't notice you've shaved.
I personally think it's kinda naughty and can peek some women's curiosity. I love doing it at times and love to watch women staring at my legs.
My in-laws kinda noticed but they really didn't pursue it. So, who cares....They can talk all they want but in the end, they treated me the same.

[Jamie001]

Jeri,

What does it matter if you get any comments? They are your legs and therefore are not anyone else's business. Why do you care about comments? IF they don't like your legs, tell them where to go!

i shave my legs in the winter, i do this becuase i am in trousers most of the time. ive noticed lately a lot of guys shave there legs, also i find once the hair grows back,your legs sweat more..its better to wax your legs, you dont have to shave them as much!!:2c:

[sallie davids]

When I was in the military my legs were covered in jet fuel and hydralic fluid. Never had a hair since. When some one does ask I tell them the truth and all is forgotten

[rebeca_abigail30]

I took my shaver, and "trimmed" up as close as it could get. I have little stubs, but it feels GREAT when I rubbed going down. I won't see my wife until Saturday, and my boys are too young to notice these things.

[suspender]

I do mine at least twice a week and have been doing it for about five years. Any longer than three days the thigh-highs dont stay up as well. Had only two comments (questions) in 5 years and both have been complimentary (from related GGs) who have asked whether I wax or shave.

[teddybear]

Been reading all the comments about shaving - how come most shave? Why not use dilapidatory cream - much easier than having to shave every day and unless you have a skin reaction to the cream you won't get a shaving rash. My partner has a leg wax every month and regularly uses cream on his privates. Hope this might help some of you

[tracigirl_tv]

When I was in the military my legs were covered in jet fuel and hydralic fluid. Never had a hair since. .....


Hmmmm, heading over to ebay and searching jet fuel and hydraulic fluid *lol*:eek:

[Michelle04240]

Been mostly shaved for 2 years now. Have not had a single comment, except from my wife who loves it now. If anyone ever asked I'd just say "Personal preference"

[Jennilouise]

i normally shave my legs during the winter, but this year is the first time shaving in the summer but after a while i got stubble and my partner said to me use the epli. i will not be going back to the shaving. it costs to much blades and shaving gel.

[carnut62]

Well Thursday my wife finally noticed I shaved my legs, it has been over 3 months since I did it. I was leaving the bathroom as she was coming in and I saw a strange look on her face, I didn't think anything of it. The next day she had a migraine and commented on my legs. She didn't say much else about them but did lightly say once yesterday 'when your legs are back to normal'.

Oh Saturday we went to a friends house and it was the first time since I shaved them I went swimming. What an awesome feeling :D

Tabitha.

[Marla]

I shave everything all year round! People (friends and family) really dont notice!

[Mayliis]

smooth legs and shiny toes are not negotiable. I had the same fears at the beginning of the summer and started letting the hair grow back but I just couldn't do it.

No one has said any thing about the shaving but people do for some reason notice the pedicured toes :) I don't care. My canned response to any questions is the same as the rest. "Because I like it!"


Hi Dear, I like your answer here... I don't shave all my body yet but as most of us starts, same do i.. i start shaving soon, when autmn comes :) I really wait that time and i'm exciting... I would like to say also, that you're cute :)

Kisses, Mayliis

[Ambercd12]

i always keep my legs shaved because i love how they feel when they are smooth

[StephanieT]

I shave my legs and other private areas last week. I told my wife it was so she could feel my smooth skin. She said it was only to turn me on and she was right but I didn't let her know she was right but the rest of the evening was awsome.

Stephanie

[JoAnnDallas]

I keep my legs,chest, and arms shaved year round. I do it for two reasons. First because I am a CDer and just love the feel of smooth skin. Secondly, I tend to get a rash on my legs and chest. If I use a certain lotion, I can keep away. If I have hair on my legs and/or chest, then the lotion sticks to the hairs and then I feel icky. So I shave my legs, chest, and arms and that way when I use the lotion every morning, I don't get that icky feeling. Besides my wife knows I shave these areas and is OK with it.

[Charleen]

Gotta shave! Hair, except on my head, is yucky!

[Christen3042]

I shave my legs every couple of days, regardless of the season. I wear shorts when it's hot. No one has noticed, or if they have, they haven't said anything.

[Veronica 1]

I shave everything except for the back of my hands. That is about the only part of my body that is visible in my work "uniform".

[kymmieLorain]

I have shaved my legs for the past 5 years at first only in the winter now I do it all year long. I haven't had any comments on my shaved legs. I love the feeling of freshly shaved legs.

Kymmie

[Lilith Moon]

I sometimes shave all over, wife is happy with this, in fact she prefers it..not from a CD angle but just enjoys how I feel to her :heehee:

Reactions from others....none at all, ever.

[Amy]

Shaving your legs is no big deal. Some times I think that people here think every body suspects something even if they have no reason to. My brother shaves his legs, arms and chest and there is no way on earth that he's a crossdresser. His wife likes it that way and I think that's mostly the reason he does it. I shaved one time up at school and got some guff from my roomates. They all made fun of me for it which I can take but none of them thought any more of it. I even went swimming with some girls and they thought it was interesting and I could tell one girl really liked it. We even planed a waxing night which was disasterous but fun.

[Lanore]

I can't stand the sight of hair on my legs. I'm a Nair girl myself. I wear gym shorts year round and don't really notice people looking.

Lanore

[kendra o'riley]

I naturally don't have much hair - just tufts on my knee caps (I'm very light haired) much like a hobbitt *giggle*. Its seems that people will notice what WE focus on... but old tyme magicians knew this and were able to direct atention away from the sleight of hand... maybe it works for us?

[KandisTX]

I just shaved myself yesterday from the neck down.. GODS does it feel good to be all smooth and sexy again, I had almost forgotten what a nice pair of Sheer Energy Pantyhose feels like against freshly shaved legs. MMMMMMMMMMMMM

Kandis:love:

[aprilhearn]

After reading this post I tried it out. I went to wal-mart with my wife, felt real uncomfortable. But after about 15 min or so I didn't have no problem. So now I want to try going out in public dressed up. Sometime.

[Darlene-VA]

I have kept my shaved my legs for years now and there is nothing like putting on a new pair of hose on freshly shaven legs, a little touch of heaven here on earth

[Zee]

i used to shave but it's faaaaaaaar too much work as you have to do it every day. so how do we fix this well here in MN we go to target and get what's called a "silk epil" it is an epillator very similar to the epilady but far less pricey. for those who don't know it has several dozen sets of automated tweezers on a sort of roller thingy that pull the hair out by the root. it's kinda like waxing only slower. lol yes the first couple of times you use it it can hurt a bit BUT there are some cool things that happen because of using it. one since the hair is removed from the root when it grows back it is A) slower to do so and B) it is thinner and lighter. the more you use it the less it hurts but it's usually good for about 2 weeks at a shot even when you first start. i love mine and actually use it on my legs, arm, and chest and yes even my butt. it makes for silky smooth every time.

Picked one up today...

OUCH!!!

But it only hurts until the pain goes away. SO did my back (honestly I think she is tired of shaving it, but it gives her the opportunity to pick black heads ... personally i think that is her favorite past time)... Pain... lots of it. Here's hoping the next time will hurt less.

[cdsteph]

I feel uncomfortable now to not be shaven.
I rarely miss a day.
But rarely wear short pants, either

[Veronica 1]

I have only had one comment and that was from a guy who is so homophobic that they need to redefine the word. I had just body shaved and was wearing a T-shirt when he came to the house. I didn't even think about my bare arms. He came in and after about 20 minutes he commented "Didn't you used to have hair on your arms?" Out of the blue, I fabricated a story about a drunken, kinky bet with a gg and I lost the bet. He seemed to be satisfied with that answer.

[Zee]

I've been shaving my legs for the past 5 years... 2-3 times a week. Even when I first started shaving, I wore shorts. I go everywhere in shorts, no one (And I mean no one) has ever comented on my legs.

I once asked my mother and sister about the best way to keep the hair off; I believe that was when they first noticed, or at least acknowledged my hairless legs, but it has been my experiance that people either don't pay attention or don't care enough to have a peak.

My advice: Don't sweat it the small stuff... and its all small stuff.

[Shevan]

I was afraid of shaving the first few times... My parents said something one time and that was difficult to explain but I just said that all the guys who bike a lot do it and they didn't say anything. Im finding its becoming more and more acceptable, look around any gym...

[rachael devry]

i shave my legs and arm all year round. ive been doing that since i moved away from home. i enjoy the feeling. i also shave around you no where and that let me tell you is very uncomfortable when stubble starts to grow. but nothing feel better than smooth legs and nice stockings

[dakota_ann69]

I shave them all the time but my occupation dictates that I wear pants so most of the time I have on pants, on the occasion when I am in drab and shorts no one has even batted an eye. How many bodybuilders shave? How many actors shave? There has been quite a revolution towards this lately so I don't think anyone would say anything. My response would be I can't stand hairy legs and believe me I had them!!

[ta2]

I shaved once legs arms chest stomach 1 time it was great I felt this was how my body should feel Then Never agen. I will agen and would like to most of the time However still a couple life things to change first
