Do you shave your arms?

[Anonymous]

Where I'm from (Wisconsin, United States) pretty much the only thing women shave are their nether region, legs, and armpits. Some wax their eyebrows, some do not.
When I was in high school, there were literally only two people out of 350 that shaved their arms, and it was regarded as extremely weird.
Is it the norm in other areas? I can't imagine having to shave my arms everyday in addition to my legs and other areas.
Include your relative area, too, if you want. Is it culturally expected there? Or unheard of?

Yes, I'm a girl and I shave my arms

No, I'm a girl and I do not shave my arms

I'm a guy and the vast majority of women I know shave their arms

I'm a guy and not many women in my area shave their arms

My arm hairs are visible, but they're not prickly. So I'd rather just let it be. I don't want to have stubble there. And I have enough of my body to shave as it is without adding a whole other body part to worry about.

I shave my underarms but I don't see the need to shave my entire arm. My arm hair is very light, so you have to look super close at my arm to see it.

Hey, im from Wisconsin too.
They dont shave it because it insulates against the cold. However, i kinda wish girls would shave their arms.. just saying

I bleach mine lol

I don't think I know any women who shave their arms, not that I'd notice, I just assume they're not hairy enough to need to.

Arm hair in most women is very light so I don't think it's a problem. Could do it for the fun and if you really don't like body hair at all.

Arm stubble is seriously gross. I had a friend in high school who shaved her arms but she was the only one to my knowledge.

I do shave my arms but not every day , maybe once every month, They dont grow back that fast.

Ew thats weird. Why do women shave at all? The hair is there for a reason.

I come from Greece. Most females here tend to get their forearms waxed, from 16 to approximately 50+ years old. It was unusual before 2007, but it became the norm afterwards...

i live in Europe (germany). guys shave the pits here too xD so it´s basically expected from everybody. a little less expected from guys but still most will do it.

[samhradh_leannan]

I think they're talking about the actual arms, not the underarms/pits.

[genericname85]

oh lol then nope for both genders xD

[takumii]

The only thing I shave is moustache, beard, chest hair and pubes. Everything else stays.

Yeah, I shave my arms. I have dark hair and pale skin so the contrast makes the hair stand out a lot. I don't really pay much attention to it on others though. I live in Washington state.

Where I'm from (Michigan, United States) I shave my arms.

[xobrowneyedbeauty]

i have tons of freckles and my hair is really light so i see no need to shave my arms!

I don't shave my arms, but I used to. I was young and didn't know what I was doing. Now I have very visible arm hair, and I really don't feel like shaving it every day.

[existing_not_living]

No, I don't shave my arms. I think it's kind of pointless, but to each their own.

[fauchelevent]

I don't shave my arms. I don't really see the point.

[9mfeo]

I don't think I have ever met a woman who shaved her arms, to be frank.

[apple24]

Nope! I don't even shave my vagina hahah!

[Asker]

Most of the time I don't either, unless I'm going swimming. My boyfriend doesn't shave his pubes, so why should I have to shave mine?

[apple24]

Its not that I don't want to but I have the hardest time shave every little patch of hair. ugh I don't know how it is for guys but to me shaving always been a challenge. But like my legs and stuff I can do easily. Or my eyebrows but delicate parts I can't and I am honestly afraid to hurt it.

I do shave them from time to time. I usually wax my arms.

[idkwtftoputhere]

No I don't, and idgaf if people have a problem w/ it lol

[ConsultantIsBack]

Lol even I shave arms sometimes. When I get on stage, basically everything is shaven!

[douride2]

My nether region has only ever been shaved once as for my legs & pits only when required.
