[quote=Anonymous]My kid is only 10 and doesn't have to shave her legs yet, but does shave her pits from time to time.

I, like an earlier poster, was forbidden to start shaving my legs when I was 11, and got teased by classmates during gym class.

I shaved my legs from 12-18, and then quit. I still shave my pits because 1) it is itchy when it is stubbly 2) I think it would make BO worse 3) I feel too self-conscious to wear sundresses at work with hairy pits.

I am a brunette, but my hair is not particularly heavy on my legs. People don't tend to notice much.

Even in the 1990s (yes, I'm old), I had no trouble finding men who were sexually attracted to me and vice versa. With all the gender fluidity now, I bet it would be even less of an issue today. I did, however, once go on a date with a woman who said she would only date women who had no hair down there. (I also once went on a date with a woman who said women who don't wear makeup are not attractive... and I wasn't wearing makeup!)

I know professional women who don't shave their pits (my cousin and the mother of a classmate of my kid)... my cousin doesn't wear sleeveless outfits to work, don't know about the woman I recently met (who is married to a man)

Some of y'all are so certain about things you cannot know. It's odd.

Let your girls shave or not shave how they want, with the caveat that they should be warned if you go to nothing on the crotch, it's gonna be horribly itchy growing back. They don't need to be warned that boys or men will find armpit hair and/or leg hair unattractive.
