OT Poll - Where do you shave / wax?

Girls - legs? underarms? bikini line or all of it? arms? toes? feet?
Guys - chest? face? back?

Potentially TMI

I epilate all of it - underarms, legs, and the intimate areas, big toes (no, I'm not a sasquatch) with the excpetion of the absolute most intimate skin that basically cannot be pulled taught without a professional on the case. That I shave. Not sure if the picture I'm painting is clear, so... I epilate the entire bikini triangle, but shave the "undercarriage."

I'm in my mid-twenties and I've done this since my late teens which means I basically have no hair left. I go over everywhere every 4-8 weeks and am good to go. Soooo much cheaper than shaving/waxing in the long run. Does it hurt to begin with? Oh, hell yeah. But do it a couple of times and it won't anymore. Worth it for me. (I know you didn't ask for a book, but just in case anyone else wants to know).

The link is just a description of what exactly epilation is as I get asked a lot.

I shave my underarms every few days. I rarely shave my legs in the winter since the hair isn't that noticeable and I wear pants most of the time anyway. In the sumemr time though, I do it every few days. And I go for the brazilian in the lower region. It's not to please a man or anything like that, which I'm often accused of. I just HATE having hair down there.

Shave:
Full leg - every 2-3 days
Underarms - daily
Big toes and 2 nasty moles on my arm - whenever I remember to

And really, you've gotta love the google ads on the side of the screen that these key words kick up, heh.

Guy, cyclist.

Face- every other day

Chest and underarms- never shaved, but trim it down with a pair of clippers every 2 months- keeps thing under control.

Legs- Clipped or shaved during the summer for cycling- I do it because it makes it easier to keep clean- 5 hours of road riding and a whole lotta crap gets stuck in yer leg hairs- freshly oiled pea-gravel (ouch) numerous bugs (yuck) . 2 hours of mountain biking and you look like a sasquatch. Plus, it makes it a lot easier to tell when I'm getting sunburnt...

Undercarriage- clipped down every month or so to keep things well manicured and not crazy looking.

Shave lower legs every single night-upper legs every two-three days. Bikini area I wax once a month and shave the "undercarriage" about once every two weeks. Underarms can go about two weeks without noticing any growth. I too shave my toes when I feel they need it. I shave my upper lip every couple of days. I've done it since the 5th grade.I can do it in the shower with out a mirror at this point-
I've never told anyone. My fiance' thinks I had laser hair removal and that's why I never have any hair on my upper lip. What he doesn't know won't hurt him...

shave legs once a week in the winter, every other day in summer, underarms every day, bikini area completely every couple days, use depilatory on toes and fingers, wax upper lip and chin every 2 or 3 weeks. that's kind of a lot. i'm not that hairy and i have light colored body hair but I still do it.

does anyone else shave that little bit between your eyebrows? it's so much easier than plucking. i pluck the rest for shape, but i just shave between.

I wax between the eyebrows because i don't want any stubble there.

I wax everywhere. I am very "clean" according to my boyfriend and I love that feeling. Jsisters is the best.

Shave uderarms-every to every other day
Shave legs-once per week in summer/unshaven in winter
Bikini line-wax myself every 2 months or so
Virginia-trim once per month or so

I'm lucky that I do not have to do anything to my eyebrows after the first two years of plucking them. And I leave the hair on my legs in the winter to keep me warm!
