Well...I'm Italian, Ukranian, and Irish, and my Italian really shows. I am not super-hairy, but the hair is dark and I seem to have more than most girlfriends of mine.

I generally use the "is someone going to see it" rule. There is a small part of me that's always been a little rebellious against the notion that women should be hairless, I've never been all that bothered by my body hair. I definitely do shave, but I can get a bit lazy about it.

Plus my hubby has a bit of a hair fetish you could say...so if I'm not wearing shorts, I let the legs go a week or more at times, and my underarms I shave every few days or when it starts to feel weird. If I'm wearing shorts or a bathing suit I shave daily or as needed.

In the summer, every other day.
In the winter, maybe 2x a week.

I shave my underarms and my "hot pocket" everyday, but, my legs every couple of days unless I'm wearing shorts or some reason that my legs need to be looking really smooth.

No. Why? My hair grows too fast for me to give a flying crap about having smooth legs and armpits 24/7. Thus, I shave my pits about every day to every other day, it depends when I shower and what kind of shirt I'm going to wear. I shave my legs anywhere from every day to every 5 days, depending on what I'll be wearing for the day. My face? My god... I gotta wax it nearly every 2 friggin weeks just to keep looking like a girl. Did you know waxing should last Up to 8 weeks? And I get ONLY 2 weeks out of it! So yea... sorry, shaving EVERY DAY is just a waste of my time sometimes. Obviously, yea, I'm not getting laid every day either. lol. (has nothing to do with my not shaving though- but work schedules). :-)

Winter legs: maybe once a month.
Other-seasonal legs: at least once every other week, sometimes once a week.
Bikini line: 2 days before I'm planning on wearing a bathingsuit - so, maybe three times a year.
Armpits: every 6-10 days

LOL! I would go insane with all that hair all over the place especially the bikini line. I used to do my bikini line just when I was going to wear a bathing suit and get horrible itching, but, now that I'm totally bear and do it daily there is no itching at all and I feel sexy every day.

I'm over 50. I feel sexy just waking up in the morning. If you don't, you're doing it wrong

As for the itching, I don't get that, but I do get the post-shave sting for a day or so. That's why I always shave the area a couple of days before I plan on wearing the suit. It gives it time for the redness to disappear. If I'm in a rush I use Tend Skin and that usually speeds things up a bit.

I'm not a very hairy person. My arm and leg hairs -would- grow to profound lengths if I let it, but it'd take a really long time.
