When — and Why — Did You First Start Shaving? 10 Women Share Their Stories

"Truthfully, I started shaving because a girl in my class made a not-so-nice comment about my leg hair: she told me my legs looked like Big Bird's legs. I don't mind the feeling of leg hair, but I also have light blond leg hair that isn't as thick as others' might be.

Pubic-area-wise, I've never really shaved for anyone, and have only been waxed once for a beach trip, so I don't really consider that a necessity for myself personally."
