Women shave their toes? Regards, Shodan ---

[QUOTE=ShelliBean] Like many here - anything not on my head and I would leave some nicely shaped eyebrows. Everything else must go. And I like waxing. But I’ve got a thing for pain. I love getting the full Brazilian - it kind of turns me on. I bet the whole enchilada would probably have me full on hitting on the chick that does it. [/QUOTE] How _you_ doin’? Dang. That’s hot. 😃 ---

Laser everything below my nose - leave the hair on my head and my brows - I do those myself. Just had a brazilian the other day - redness is fading now and should be ready for a little 5 K run tomorrow. Would be nice to not have to think about it anymore. ---

I don’t shave my toes, but during leg waxes I’ve had a couple of waxers go for my big toes as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are women who shave their toe hair. I haven’t shaved my legs in months, but I’m wearing pants all the time, this being winter, and there’s nobody to see my legs anyway. I’d rather wait until I can afford to get 'em waxed again. One side benefit of waxing is that it’s killed a fair number of the hair follicles on my legs. A decent percentage of my leg hair simply doesn’t grow back anymore. Waxing doesn’t bug me because it’s once every few weeks, assuming I can afford it. If I shave, I have to do it every other day; pale skin and dark hair. Ick. ---

I’d get electrolysis or laser. As it is now, I do wax everything I need: eyebrows, upper lip, arms, legs, stomach and under arms. I’m not _as_ hyper-vigilant about my arms/legs now that it’s winter, but I try to get them done as often as I can. ---

[QUOTE=Ms. Pumpkin] Yup. Fingers, too. Also stomach, breasts, chin… _sigh_ [/QUOTE] Oops, that came out wrong. Now, while I have no hair on my toes, I know there are people who do. What I meant, though, was “There are women who care that they have hair on their toes?” Breasts, chin–that I understand. ---

Toe hair, in flip flops? A small patch of medium dark to dark hair jutting out of the top of ones toes? That would be important to remove. ---

[QUOTE=Lynne\_kilii] Toe hair, in flip flops? A small patch of medium dark to dark hair jutting out of the top of ones toes? That would be important to remove. [/QUOTE] Exactly. Especially to those of us who are cursed with ghostly white skin and nearly black body hair. It’s _very_ noticable. ---

> [@vetbridge](#): > > Ummm…there is a ton of difference between elective plastic surgery (which I generally would agree with you about) and coming to work with accumulated toast crumbs under your nose. Beauty, schmooty, there is no way her 'stache is even comfortable. But I will back out at this point. Agreed. What you ladies don’t know is that a moustache is a constant irritation unless it’s trimmed down. Me, I get stabby when mine gets long enough for stray hairs to start reaching for my upper lip. (Which is pretty short.) ---

I wouldn’t wax, but if money wasn’t an object I would get electrolysis on legs, toes, pits and maybe even pubes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ladies-if-money-werent-an-issue-what-would-you-wax-tmi/430507.md?page=2)
