My 17 yr old dd has never shaved. She wears shorts tanks etc. her hair isn’t dark, but still noticeable. She doesn’t care. She embraces all things natural right now. She’s figuring out a Diva cup too.

This is the same for my DD’s friends group.

WTF? Has nothing to do with the hair.

I’m not a fan of hairy armpits on women, but men don’t shave their armpits and they don’t smell. I mean some do of course, but many don’t.

Do the popular girls tend to shave more?

My 14 year old daughter doesn't need to just yet - nothing is visible. My son was 19 when he decided to shave a very wispy, barely there, moustache... so I guess we're late bloomers.

My 14 yo old shaves intermittently, but not nearly as frequently as I did.

Not widespread, but more common than it was in our day. My 16 year old just started a few weeks ago, but is pretty lazy/haphazard about it. Have you asked her if she wants any particular product or anything? I just gave my DD all the supplies she might need and told her where it was in her bathroom and to ask for help if she needed it. I didn’t want to force it, even though it privately drove me crazy. She eventually decided for herself.

....among teen girls today? Mine is 16 and just doesn't want or see the need to. I think this may partially contribute to not wanting to wear skirts or dresses anymore, too? If that's just because she doesn't like dresses and skirts, or even shorts, anymore, fine; but if it's because of embarrassment about hairy legs, I'd like to know why/how to help address it.
