[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a trend? Asked DD if she need new razors to shave right before spring break trip - she would be wearing a bathing suit. Said no. She obviously had not shaved legs or her armpits either. I did ask her why and was it for philosophical reasons. She got uncomfortable and would not give a straight answer. She’s 15. 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. [/quote] I doubt its a trend. I think a good percentage of young women consider it unnecessary and unnatural. More power to them.[/quote] I find it interesting how much cultural conditioning goes into women’s body hair. I was a teen in the 80s, when there were a LOT of ads for different kinds of razors and different kinds of depilatory creams like Nair. I have a terrible memory in general, but I can still sing at least one of the Nair jingles and quote my favorite magazine razor ad. Couldn’t wait to start shaving my legs as a young teen because it made me feel womanly. Now, as an adult, I know no one cares whether I have leg hair but I feel really weird when it grows too long and I obsess about it until I can pull it out (epilady user). But meanwhile, Brazilians were not a thing till I was an adult, so my attitude has always been “that was made up to sell waxing services, and I’m not falling for it.” I agree “more power to them” for any teens who are able to resist from the start. They can always make other choices later for cosmetic reasons, but it’s so much easier if it feels like an actual choice and not something you were trained to believe is required. Those mindsets can be hard to break. [/quote]
