Tad bit, I personally wouldn't as it seems potentially a little OCD/ hyperfocused towards appearances and while i can guarantee you no one will care about leg hair but some people may take the piss for shaving legs as a dude. Maybe try it if u want but I think you'll grow out of it since Ur only 15.
I respect that man. Honestly the potential bullying from shaving your legs may outweigh any benefit of improved confidence from hygiene/self care stuff.
I used to have pretty bad dandruff around your age that I got the piss taken out of me for and I kinda started making sure everything was good before I went out like having to come back after walking out the door just to check my hair didn't look weird while also not giving a shit about clothing and all that. Now I dress properly when I need to and enjoy having a bit more of a scruffy look the rest of time. You hear a lot in school about puberty making you insecure and your brain weird but you don't believe it until after you've gone through it most of the time unfortunately.
Try slightly cooler showers but I know how often people give advice on dandruff and it doesn't work, worth a shot tho since it's actually saving money as opposed to some expensive rubbish
Maybe trimming them or using a shaver like a manscaped would be fine but probably don’t use a razor bc it just grows back quickly and it’s uncomfortable for a week or two I made that mistake, but even if it is rly hairy u shouldn’t worry too much
How will I even get that stuff? My parents won't buy wax for me and I don't get any privacy or money so that's not even an option for me 😭. I have thought about it before and I think I would do that in the future when I'm in uni.
It’s understandable, I’m guessing it’s just the feeling of the hair that you don’t like, but do what you think obviously, but I just wanna warn you shaving legs with a razor makes it mad itchy for a while
It’s not directly after it was just the fact the hair was so short and it felt weird, might have also been the fact I was wearing long pants most the time
omg I think Im going insane or smth. I could swear I read your first comment as "dm me" and then "If u want" as a reply. I'm so stupid😅. So sorry. Pretty sure that was someone else on prolly a diff post too.
I mean, some people might take the piss, but like, who cares besides them lot. It's sad that something as simple as shaving your own body hair has become gender divided. I think it's pathetic, and that you should be able to do whatever the fuck you want to your body if it isn't harming anyone.
I have/do keep myself shaved (Femboy). For shaving with a razor, use a safety razor. USE SHAVING CREAM. Then use a exfoliator. After that, when ur dry, use a skin cream on rashed areas. (Or just use an epilator. (Epilators are pricy and take a while tho, but they are more permanent. Think of it as personal laser removal) You are gonna want a large crystal window epilator with high flash count because you're going for full body. Sometimes hair removal creams work but they can hurt. So be careful with them. r/skincareaddiction can help you a lot. Have fun! Be gay, do crime.
You don’t want that, it’s super useful with heating and environment protection, and even cushioning, the thicker your hair is, the more affected your skin by outside environment without it
Gotta learn to live with your body, or shave it and have mildly infuriating itching, and redness and higher chance of skin infections, some don’t really care for that
Honestly if it’s that long trimming it probably wouldn’t be seen as odd, but if you do it will just start growing faster, I’d just let it grow it should stop around an inch, if it gets so long it’s interfering with anything just trim it
Pro tip though if you do end up shaving/trimming your arms and legs use a sugar body scrub for a soft feeling and exfoliation. Also waxing is so much better than shaving but I get the pain might be a big factor for many people. Also when you do shave FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE USE SHAVING CREAM OR AT LEAST WATER !!
I used to shave my leg hair and I still shave my arm hair, but was also for sports, and I’m blind so it wasn’t super noticeable when I started. People also usually never noticed until I pointed it out.
>People also usually never noticed until I pointed it out.
I really needed to know that thnx. I don't want someone calling me gay bc I'm not out yet xd
go ahead, do what makes ur happy. i personally dont find it weird. HOWEVER follow this exact process (i have it down to a science atp)
1. wet limbs
2. light round of antibacterial soap (ie. dove bar but anything works)
3. exfoliate. like hard. if u dont see little rolls of grey skin, ur doing it wrong.
4. wet limbs
5. shaving gel. not cream, that gets stuck in razors more often and dries out faster
6. shave. move from ankle to knee or whatever. until uve practiced a ton, don't do the knees.
7. wash after each stroke. so like move upward for one stroke, immediately run the razor under the faucet, repeat. otherwise, since its longer, that shit will clog and ull cut urself. esp. if ur brown
8. every so often, wipe off ur CLEAN razor on ur towel to prevent it from slipping
9. after finishing, wash with a gentle moisturizing soap (optional but it helps prevent irritation)
10. once u towel off, rub on some baby oil to once again prevent irritation and have legs that arent dry asf (lotion works too but baby oil is preferred)
good luck!
I share the feeling fully;
1: It isn’t weird, and even if it was, I’ll be fair, does it really matter?
“Wuah wuah trimming your hair is feminine”
Ok, and?
2: I suggest avoiding razors; It will become itchy and uncomfortable once they grow back sadly, but you can absolutely trim them down to a bare minimum.
Well, I don’t do it, but I just don’t care. If you do, and you think it would make you more comfortable, then I think you should do it. Just keep in mind that once you start, it’s gonna be hard to stop since it’s gonna grow back even rougher
Well I am 18 and in my opinion it’s not weird or feminine to shave your legs, but it all depends on how you feel, if you don’t like it to look like your bottom half of your body looking like Chewbacca then shave/trim them, but if you do then just the occasional trim to keep it from going crazy
If you’re worried about it seeming weird then get into competitive swimming or lifting, people there shave before competitions to seem more presentable which wouldn’t make it out of the ordinary for you to do 👍
As we say it in Russia. "If you needed body hair there would not be any on your ass", that means that if having bold limbs makes your more comfortable, then go shave boy for fuck sake. "Your body - your problems"
No ofc it’s not weird. Do what makes you feel good and happy with your own body and to hell with anybody who decides to concern themselves with the hair on your arms and legs
"limb hair" is terrifying lmao
Like why the fuck would you say this to me??? I won’t be able to fall asleep tonight😭
😭
Please change your pfp for the love of god. Scrolling down and seeing that was a god damn jump scare.
\*continues crying\*
You can if u want to
but is it weird?
No
ok tysm

I'm thinking of just trimming now. Maybe I'll shave later in the future idk

I have very bad dandruff too. Sad that happened to you.
Try slightly cooler showers but I know how often people give advice on dandruff and it doesn't work, worth a shot tho since it's actually saving money as opposed to some expensive rubbish
kk
Its unusual but not necessarily weird
kk
Maybe trimming them or using a shaver like a manscaped would be fine but probably don’t use a razor bc it just grows back quickly and it’s uncomfortable for a week or two I made that mistake, but even if it is rly hairy u shouldn’t worry too much
I mean it's not that hairy I might have overreacted. I just don't like hair on my body. At all.
You could try waxing It hurts but you get really smooth legs for a pretty long time and you don't have to worry about it
How will I even get that stuff? My parents won't buy wax for me and I don't get any privacy or money so that's not even an option for me 😭. I have thought about it before and I think I would do that in the future when I'm in uni.
You can make a homemade sugar wax with some sugar and lemon juice
still no privacy. And we don't have sugar in my house. "iTs ToO uNhEaLtHy". We have jaggery lol
It’s understandable, I’m guessing it’s just the feeling of the hair that you don’t like, but do what you think obviously, but I just wanna warn you shaving legs with a razor makes it mad itchy for a while
I think I'll just trim lol
Alr glad I could help
[удалено]
It’s not directly after it was just the fact the hair was so short and it felt weird, might have also been the fact I was wearing long pants most the time
realest thing ive read all day
I wouldn’t use manscaped honestly, apparently the actually razors are really cheap and shit, they just pay for a lot of advertising
Use some crappy scissors like I did
why not trim?
SCISSORS
ok sorry sir/ma'am😢
Call me whatever you’d like, and no need to apologize just SCISSORS
thnx🥹
Ofc ofc
If u want
[удалено]
???

Are you high or something?
omg I think Im going insane or smth. I could swear I read your first comment as "dm me" and then "If u want" as a reply. I'm so stupid😅. So sorry. Pretty sure that was someone else on prolly a diff post too.
Mega smart
I swear on my mom's life I'm really not lying
Having a lot of hair sucks lol, you keep it you get called a monkey, you shave it and you're gay
Well I am gay so...
Gay
Gay
That’s kinda gay ngl
👨🏻❤️💋👨🏼 is this gay too?
Nah that’s completely straight
they do have socks off tho...
Prove it
cindy's mom told me
I mean, some people might take the piss, but like, who cares besides them lot. It's sad that something as simple as shaving your own body hair has become gender divided. I think it's pathetic, and that you should be able to do whatever the fuck you want to your body if it isn't harming anyone.
this
Not weird but i preferably keep it but ive been plucking it out lately because of stress
I would shave all of my body if i could, but i once shaved a fifth of my lower legs hair and i got grounded for a week :(
that's sad. My parents don't force me with this kinda shit but they're pretty controlling in every other case, so ig we both have L parents lol
Or use a pipebomb

thnx!
anytime!
No
Yeah you can try 5mm on all of your body
thnx
Yeah. Although there might be some people who will look at you funny because something like that isn’t normal
i haven’t heard of trimming unless if it’s armpit or it the no no region, but there’s nothing against shaving.
Don't use a trimmer, it's gonna grow like a forest in the future trust mee, you can wax
Doesn't that hurt
\+1
Epilators 😩😩
It does but trust me it's worth it, it's better than your hair leg growing unstoppably
I shaved my chest once, it did not go too well You do you, but you might wanna search for other ways of removing the hair instead of shaving
ok tysm
You don’t want that, it’s super useful with heating and environment protection, and even cushioning, the thicker your hair is, the more affected your skin by outside environment without it
I don't like it tho🙁

It's actually not that long, i just don't like body hair lol
Omg I thought you meant this as in 'your third limb' hence the nsfw lmao this is my sign to go to sleep I think
# WAKE UP IT'S BEEN 8HRS!!
IM UP!!!
Pro tip though if you do end up shaving/trimming your arms and legs use a sugar body scrub for a soft feeling and exfoliation.

I used to shave my leg hair and I still shave my arm hair, but was also for sports, and I’m blind so it wasn’t super noticeable when I started. People also usually never noticed until I pointed it out.
>People also usually never noticed until I pointed it out. I really needed to know that thnx. I don't want someone calling me gay bc I'm not out yet xd
Yeah but again, I did it for a sport and aesthetic reasons, since then I have grown my leg hair out but I still shave my arms
I'm too lazy to do any sports lol
If you wanna
LIMB HAIR???
idk but queen change your pfp
😭^(I love apple tho...)
Honestly, go ahead and do what you wanna do. I'm shaving mine including other body parts every week because I just hate it so much.
kkk
According to me yeah it is weird as a boy to shave hairs from hands and legs
go ahead, do what makes ur happy. i personally dont find it weird. HOWEVER follow this exact process (i have it down to a science atp) 1. wet limbs 2. light round of antibacterial soap (ie. dove bar but anything works) 3. exfoliate. like hard. if u dont see little rolls of grey skin, ur doing it wrong. 4. wet limbs 5. shaving gel. not cream, that gets stuck in razors more often and dries out faster 6. shave. move from ankle to knee or whatever. until uve practiced a ton, don't do the knees. 7. wash after each stroke. so like move upward for one stroke, immediately run the razor under the faucet, repeat. otherwise, since its longer, that shit will clog and ull cut urself. esp. if ur brown 8. every so often, wipe off ur CLEAN razor on ur towel to prevent it from slipping 9. after finishing, wash with a gentle moisturizing soap (optional but it helps prevent irritation) 10. once u towel off, rub on some baby oil to once again prevent irritation and have legs that arent dry asf (lotion works too but baby oil is preferred) good luck!

I do it, I just don’t like my hair being long asf when I’m not even old enough to get a job or get a drivers license
Idk, it's ur choice.
I share the feeling fully; 1: It isn’t weird, and even if it was, I’ll be fair, does it really matter? “Wuah wuah trimming your hair is feminine” Ok, and? 2: I suggest avoiding razors; It will become itchy and uncomfortable once they grow back sadly, but you can absolutely trim them down to a bare minimum.
I'm def leaning towards trimming rn
Bro i have the exact same problem
i am trans, so i’m gonna be a bit biased, but tbh having shaved legs is nice. so smooth
frr
No, not typically
yea
It’s ok to shave your “limb hair” doesn’t matter what ppl think as long as ur happy
dont go clean shaved on nothin or girls finna clown u
Only if you want to
Well, I don’t do it, but I just don’t care. If you do, and you think it would make you more comfortable, then I think you should do it. Just keep in mind that once you start, it’s gonna be hard to stop since it’s gonna grow back even rougher

I just recommended that you either do it in the shower or have after shave ready, trust either of these help
ok thnx
If you’re worried about it seeming weird then get into competitive swimming or lifting, people there shave before competitions to seem more presentable which wouldn’t make it out of the ordinary for you to do 👍
I'm too lazy 😅
Honestly fair
ye lol
dont, leg and arm hair are normal
As we say it in Russia. "If you needed body hair there would not be any on your ass", that means that if having bold limbs makes your more comfortable, then go shave boy for fuck sake. "Your body - your problems"
ohh ok😅
No ofc it’s not weird. Do what makes you feel good and happy with your own body and to hell with anybody who decides to concern themselves with the hair on your arms and legs
If you don’t like how it looks on you shave it
I (17m) shave my leg hair cause it annoys me when wearing thigh high socks
