    "Why don't you shave your legs?"

    My wife and i were shopping in a beauty supply store when she suggested i pick out several
    nail polishes. i did, and later at home polished my toe nails with a light color attempting to closely match the color of my skin tones... slightly too light pink. Initially not caring for it's color, with an open mind, my wife changed hers after 3 or 4 days, noting: "I've grown to really like that polish on your toes."

    "Might look a little brighter if my toes and feet weren't a little on the furry side" i replied.

    "Why don't you shave your legs? she responds.

    "OK. Do't be surprised if you come home from work tomorrow or the next day and my legs look smooth and hairless."

    "How long before it will grow back? she questioned.

    "7 to 10 days i think."

    Next morning in the shower; Mission Accomplished.

    My wife made her mental notes the next day after work, not saying a word, followed several days later with her reaching out and rubbing my thighs. That was last week and as of this date; there have been no complaints or regrets on either of our parts. However, i do think it's about time for a close shave again.

    i love my wife!

    Remind me to tell you the story of our first "Bra-Off".

    Tammy,

    I shave all the time and the only negative comment from my wife is that my legs are too scratchy after a few days. Solution - get them waxed. Just did yesterday and she said they look nice. Now for a spary tan

    It takes about 6-8 weeks to for leg hair to reach full terminal length. More if you are older (generally), less if you are younger.

    Its all about looks, if you normally have dark hair i think there is nothing more offputting than to see a woman with tights/stockings and to see leg hair. I epilate my leg hair about every 2/3 days but despite that I was very fair coloured so under black tights or even tan ones leg hair does not show but I hate any body too so having none and keeping on top of the haire removal is just a part of my life.

    Tammy,

    I'll second Orchid's advice and get yourself an epilator. Start using it as the hair grows back. That way you're removing fewer and it's less discomfort.

    I'm a recent convert and trust me on this, the discomfort, I won't describe it as pain 'cause it ain't that bad and you soon get used to it, is worth the outcome. Couple it with one of those rough exfoliating sponges and hey, Teflon smooth!

    The other advantage is it's less messy than shaving and quicker to. A quick wizz over every few days keeps things just so. Plus no nicks.

    I also endorse getting an epilator. It will sting a bit until you have weakened the regrowth but it is worth it. And use lots of moisturiser.
    I have very little regrowth these days. That applies to under-arms, body and legs.

    And another endorsement for an epilator. As others have said it will sting a bit at first but the more you use it the easier it becomes. Try to get a good one with ceramic discs as they work better than the metal disc ones.

    One thing I have noticed since starting epilating is that the hair that does regrow is much softer and finer than it used to be - with my legs being tanned at he moment the fine hair really does not show at all.

    Tammy, another vote for an epilator. I epilate once a week and shave only just before putting on hosiery.

    They can pry my epilator from my cold dead hands. Best gizmo I ever purchased. Never knew such a thing existed until I came here.

    In case you haven't yet decided, I hope my vote for epilating is enough to tip you into the buy column. I consider the feel of skin that has just been epilated to be one of the finest pleasures of life.

    My article on epilation remains one of the most popular on my blog, in case you want to read more details before deciding: https://crossdresserreport.com/great...-epilator-way/

    I'm adding my vote to the epilator coalition.
    I use it about every 3 days.
    I wouldn't describe the 'pain' as pain. More of a slight discomfort that is far outweighed by the smooth results.

    Another vote for an Epilator!

    I had my body hair removed at a laser hair removal clinic last year. But it doesn't get them all, and doesn't get gray hairs. So the epilator is just the trick.

    The pain lessens with time (and you get used to it).

    Another vote for the epilator, shaved for years. but hated the stubble, with an epilator regrow is much softer. But the real bonus is the more you use it, the less you need it. At first I missed the ritual of shaving, it seemed so feminine but after I felt the results a month later, I knew I would never go back to shaving.

    Epilator for me too. Best thing i ever bought. Once a week is ideal but i have been using it for so long now, i can leave it three weeks before the hair starts to show.

    You are one lucky girl Tammy, I agree with the 6 weeks to be back fully, you will have a lot of prickly hairs after 2 weeks but will be very sparse until around week 4

    I used to shave my legs when I lived alone, now I use two pairs of pantyhose. However the high endorsement of an epilator make me wonder.

    I heard this same phrase yesterday but in a different setting. My almost teenage son said short skirts require shaved legs and asked why I don't shave my legs. I told him I have no desire to shave them, I have a hard enough time keeping my face shaved.

    I began shaving my legs about two months ago. Since then about every third or fourth day. Oh, how I adore the feel, and the look with my nylons on. I think I will now research epilators, and see just how they will work! But I do love the way my shaved legs look and feel. I spent all last weekend in hose, and it was simply adorable!
