    As and when i can be bothered. Usually when i'm going out and wearing a dress. OH doesn't care whether they're shaved or not, although he does like it when i do.

    Oh no Vikster! I'm getting sprayed tonight so needed to shave in preparation!

    I am literally the most unhairy person you could meet. Bearing in mind I havent shaved my legs for 4 months they were barely hairy at all.

    Probably about twice a week. H knows I'm after something if I've shaved my legs! I think I need to try a different hair removal approach though as I have a patch on my left leg with loads of ingrown hairs ? I have to sit and tweeze them out after my shower! Lovely!

    As and when I have to get them out. I will tonight as I'm going on holiday, and will every day when I'm there. Hate stubble!

    Normally though, only when I need to. Other than that, I don't bother and OH doesn't seem to notice or care.

    ? Last weekend I had crop leggings on and admit to only shaving the bottom of my legs as far up as would be on show!!

    I will be completely honest with you - at the moment once every 2 weeks and before you raise your eyebrows allow me to explain - my hairs are blonde and fine, so you cant really tell, and I havnt wore a skirt for weeks, plus they keep me warm in this horrid weather! Tis not the case with my underarms before you ask!

    I'm very similar to you Tricks - my leg hair just doesn't grow. I probably did it last 3 weeks ago before my last spray tan and it's no different to how it was three or four days afterwards. It grows a certain amount, then stops. It's blonde and soft too, so no grating effect on OH's legs in the night!

    You lucky lucky lady!

    I haven't shaved since I was 17. My mum put me on the right track of hair removal when she took me for my first wax appointment and I've never looked back even though it was really really painful! I'm dark haired so shaving would need to be a daily occurrence to tame my regrowth! Have recently discovered emlar cream so waxing doesn't hurt anymore!

    If its hot weather I shave whenever there is re-growth but usually once a week. In the winter I tend to leave it up to 2 weeks unless I am on a special night out with OH. nothing worse than stubbly legs

    You lucky ladies who don't have much hair to deal with!

    I shave mine about once a week if I don't have my pins out, more if I do as I'm 'stubbled' after 2 days!

    It depends...I am dark so it is certainly noticeable! In the winter I have been known to go for weeks if wearing trousers, H never seems to notice anyway! A bit more often in the summer but still as little as possible and only when legs are coming out, so probably still less than once a week!

    I do my underarms and my legs every other day at the moment. I have to for fear of scaring young children.

    When I am waxing my underarms (I did for the 6 months up to the wedding) I would shave my legs once a week, providing I wasn't getting 'em out.

    Every other day. Sometimes I leave it another day if I can't be bothered. My house is really warm, especially in the evenings so I usually wear shorts-pyjamas about the house in the evenings as its comfortable. I wouldn't want my husband to have to put up with my hairy legs. If they were away all the time then I'd probably not shave as much. My husband does touch me quite a lot in bed.. rubs me over sometimes helps me moisturise.. and I like to be nice and smooth for him.

    Every other day, except when I was pregnant. I just couldn't be bothered then, but told OH it was because I couldn't reach.

    That backfired as he then offered to do them for me (aswell as my bikini line ?, didn't trust him there with a razor though)

    Rachel, can I ask, how long you normally leave the cream on for before you wax? My friend told me about this cream as I soooo hate getting my legs waxed as am a big wimp...

    Re: OP, i currently shave once a week for my legs.

    I'm like you Trickers, hardly ever do it and hardly ever have to.

    Currently I'm at June 28th when I was on holiday and they're no bad, if I had to wear a dress or go swimming I would, but actually in fairness I tried on my wedding dress last weekend and I should have shaved my legs but I total forgot....but they're barely hairy at all so you'd have had to stroke em to notice lol

    Thats love for you!

    I shave them every time I have a shower- unless I am in a massive rush- 4 times a week? I just hate the feeling of hairy legs ?
