She is your daughter & you have a right & a duty to be concerned.

Have a polite & calm discussion with your daughter.

+1. If nothing else it's poor hygiene and looks dirty. I put it in the same category of - you must shower, you must wash your hair, you must keep yourself clean and presentable looking.

I wouldn't push right off the bat, but I would start a conversation and let her know that this is something that, as an adult, she needs to take care of.

Does that include ALL body hair? Cause I would love to hear the polite & calm discussion where you tell your daughter she has to get a Brazilian or else she's gross.

Ok I am old but I would very much appreciate if I learned that there is an option to wax “down there” from my mother and not my first sex partner lol

Sorry for you, BTW porn makes boys think it should all be removed down there so if your DD is just getting a Brazilian, she may still have that special convo with her first.

Brazilian IS when everything is removed

Ah got ya, not that familiar with that level. Sounds like your DD is good to go.

Did PP say they had a daughter?

Also, love your level of confidence when you clearly have no clue what you’re even talking about.

Omg did you READthe op? They say they have a dd!

OMG, did you know that this is an anonymous message board and you are speaking to multiple people, whom you should not assume are OP unless they say “I’m OP?”

I don’t care much though honestly, don’t like the look. Just strange how uncomfortable she got with the discussion. It is unusual for her.

You tell her bluntly, hairy legs & armpits are not acceptable. My mom commented on mine for years & years and would tell me which spots I needed to shave better, as well as buy me interesting shaving devices. So grateful.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed that today.

Oh boy some posters are going to eat you alive now
I wouldn’t quite inspect my DD but I agree with the premise of hair being unacceptable in certain places

You’re a dinosaur. We get it.

Sometimes you can’t help but notice
Also I think a lot of people care, for a number of reasons

You really can. You’re an adult with agency. Don’t look if you don’t like it. Done.

I assume girls who don’t shave may be lesbian.

Cannot believe there are grown women that don’t at least shave bikini line. Do you never wear a swimsuit or just don’t care that pubes hang out?

I haven’t shaved in a years. Like many moms, I wear swim shorts and a rash guard now.

Also I swim in my own pool so no one sees me but my family

No, it isn’t, and I sure hope you apply these exact same standards to boys.

DP but I would prefer my son shaved his armpits. I don’t insist because I have no idea what’s common among boys his age.

Why would you prefer that? I shave but shaving increases the risk of infection and has no actual health benefits. It's much better to just wash with soap.

Mostly shaving off the old smelly hair (no matter how well you wash it, esp if a teen boy, there’s certain residue)
Also don’t really like the look
Most if not all of my boyfriends used to shave their armpit hair too so I assumed it was the norm
Not sure what it is now. Maybe teenage boys prefer to look manly?

DP but it’s a public forum. Anyone can reply to anyone. Also why so angry?

[Anonymous]

TLDR the rest but came here to say my DD did the same at about that age. It was just laziness more than anything. Didn’t feel like it and no one was going to see when we were just on a family trip. I didn’t comment and figured it would pass. Then she got a BF at 16 and shaving started right back up again. She is now in college, different bf, I guess many guys are into manscaping now, so everyone is shaving. It’s all good OP. Let it go.

What’s prepubescent about shaved legs?!

Little girls have hairless legs.

Grown women usually have hair.

See, hairy poster, even guys are into manscaping! Time to bury the lead

*Some* guys are into manscaping. Everyone knows this. That doesn't mean that all negative comments about girls having leg hair aren't sexist or even disturbing.

Also the insult "hairy" isn't landing the way you're hoping it's landing. It makes you sound not just old, but insecure.
