Yes! I'd probably stop shaving my legs before my arms. I hate arm hair. It's not bristly and it takes 3 swipes on each arm in the shower. I do it about once a week.

I did it for my wedding. Didn't want the peach fuzz look. Haven't done it since.

I epilate my arms. Only have to do it about once a month, and the hair grows back so fine and sparse.

Noooooooo. I don't always keep up with legs and armpits very well, never mind needing to keep up with anything else. I have very fine, pale hair on my arms and see no reason to remove it.

No, I am very grateful that I don't have much hair on my arms at all, and what I do have is very fair. DD has had her arms waxed before because she has quite dark hair, but she doesn't do it regularly.
My bikini line however........  |

I use Nads hair remover gel to remove the hair on my arms. I don't care if I'm hair free so I only do it once every couple of months or so. It makes my hair a lot less noticeable (I have black hair on my arms).

No. I have super light, super fine hair so you can't see it on my arms and if I have any, I think it is just fuzz. I also don't have to shave my legs often even in the summer as you can't see the hair on my legs either. It does come with the downside of not being able to see my eybrows either. Ha! I was thinking the same thing. Just very fine baby hairs on my arms and such little blond hair on my legs that if I skip a day, I can get by. But I also have pale eyebrows and eyelashes. If I don't use products on them, you can hardly see them. Exactly what Sponge Mom said. My dd shaves hers and has since she was a young teen. |

Heaven help me, I probably should- but at some point, I just had to accept that I'm a direct descendant of a Sasquatch somewhere, and get over it. I shave various places every. single. day. I don't need to add anything else to the list.

I started shaving mine as a young teen as well. I am very light skinned and have very dark hair. Once a week is all it takes. No problem with stubble or anything. Pretty similar to keeping my underarms shaved. No biggie.

I don't have hairy arms, so I never had to. If I had to, I would be in trouble. I am right handed and would not be able to shave my right arm.
I must be in the minority on shaving. I don't mind it at all! I shave my legs and underarms every other day, and I can do it quickly. I do it all year, and love how smooth my legs feel! My kids (15 and 17) think it's such a chore, and I just don't get it. The kids in their dance class love to post pictures on instagram of their hairy legs! Crazy! I guess I am old, because I think shaving is great!

Yep--dark, coarse, hairy arms for me! I started shaving my arms years ago and then about finally decided to get laser hair removal. I had it done about 3 years ago and consider it one of the best things I've ever done for myself.

welcome cousin...Sasquatch descendants need to stick together Sometimes don't you just want to scream- I have hair!! Lots of it- get over it!!! yes but I also sometimes want to scream that at myself...my 15 y/o daughter has a much healthier attitude towards shaving than I do...she shaves her pits because I strongly encourage it and she shaves her legs every once in a blue moon - usually when she's dressing up extra fancy. The rest of the time her legs stay hairy and she doesn't care. Me? I shave because I have vivid memories of being teased in Jr. High because I wasn't yet allowed to and 30+ years later, that negative peer pressure STILL has me shaving for other people |

no..... it would be a daily chore I don't for this reason too. And, I do have dark arm hair. I just can't make myself care that much anymore. Why, as a woman, do I have to be shaved, waxed, and pluck like a chicken to have value? |

I have been shaving my arms for about a year. As I've gotten older, the thick peach fuzz turned sparse, and it didn't look attractive to me. I just run a quick razor over it when I shave my legs.

In the Spring/Summer I shave the fuzz from back of my upper arms. Also, the insides of my forearms. Mine is pretty light though.

No. I'm pretty hairy and it's dark but I just don't care. I used to get teased in school pretty mercilessly about it but I'm over that and I don't want to have a bunch of stubble on my arms. My leg hair grows insanely fast so I have no reason to think my arm hair would be any different and there's no way I'm shaving it everyday. Nope, I'll just be hairy.  |

I shave the 3-4 dark hairs that sprout from a mole on my forearm. Once in a while, I will trim an area on each arm with scissors.

No, but my dd does, ugh! We are all dark haired. I've never done it, a friend did when we were young and regretted it so I never considered it. I find it less noticeable as i've aged (not sure whether it's lighter in growth or color.) dd who is 25 has shaved them forever. Kind of drives me nuts because I don't think it's bad AND she has stubble. I've brushed across her arm and sometimes it's stubbly! dd who is 15 did remove the hair last year (I think with one of those no, no things.) She kept up with it for about 6 months and decided it was a lot of work and let it grow back in, lol. Just the other day she told me she "needs" laser. I told her she needs to start saving, it's expensive |

I don't! And I have pale skin and dark hair, although it is pretty fine. It's just not something I've ever felt bothered by and seems like a lot of maintenance.

I epilate my arms in the summer. I have light skin and light hairs but it started bugging me just a few years ago. And I just do it below the elbow and I only need to do it every so often - maybe 4 times during the summer?

Because of some hormone issues, the hair on my arms is much darker than you would expect, given my hair color. I was teased about it when I was a teen. It really bothered me, so I just started shaving my arms. Takes 10 seconds once a week. It's no effort at all for the increase in self esteem that it gave me. And, I like the way I look in sleeveless shirts. I can't imagine going back to not shaving them. |

Nope. And I'm pretty hairy. I never even really think about it and it's not something I'm super self-conscious about. It just is. I don't actually get why it's been this huge thing that people can't have body hair. It's just normal. (I do shave my legs and armpits--but damn, I wish I didn't have to.)
