I shave the armpits every day. In the winter, my legs get shaved once a week or so. In the summer, my legs get shaved every other day. I wear capris a lot in the summer.

I get my eyebrows waxed every 2 - 3 weeks, and that hurts bad enough that I don’t want to wax anything else. 😛

My husband doesn’t care if I shave or not as long as I’m happy. 🙂

If you decide to wax yourself, save the trouble and buy the Gigi hard wax. It’s meant for the bikini area and from my experience is the best stuff out there.

Agreed. While I could shave my legs and underarms with ease, my bikini area was a whole other story. No matter what I did (exfoliation, using creams or lotions for sensitive skin, etc.), it was irritated. The Gigi stuff is a godsend.

As for shaving the legs and pits, I do it every time I’m in the shower.
