Im probably one of the only such women here on this site. I say that based on the threads about shaving other areas of the body.
I shave more in the summer when Im not wearing leggings. In the winter I rarely shave my legs.
Any other women who could care less about the hair on their legs and their husbands dont really care either way either?

Me!

I shave under my arms relatively often when not niddah, but almost not at all while niddah.

I shave my legs for mikvah. Don't think dh realizes, though, to tell you the truth. And if not I'm not niddah for a long time (eg pregnancy) then I shave every once in a while.

I only shave during the summer. During the winter when no one sees them I don't bother.

I shave for Mikva and maybe one other time during the month during the summer.
So figure 15 times a year.
The disposable razor company is not getting rich off of me!
(I have never waxed/lasered…anything).

I do my eyebrows my self maybe 3x/year.

I am not a hairy person, maybe if I was so would be different-maybe not.

I know plenty of women that don’t bother either. Even during the summer.

I personally shave once a month during mikva prep, but I do it for myself.

I never have shaved. I used to have light colored leg hair, but during one pregnancy it all fell out and never grew back. I wouldn’t care either way but not complaining!

My husband doesnt love the idea of me not shaving, but its my legs and I dont love shaving, so he deals with it. We are married a long time and I think in the beginning it did bother his a little, but now, he doesnt even mention it. Ever.

My husband actually prefers I don't shave underarms because he hates the prikles as it grows back in

I used to shave my legs once or twice in the summer just so that I wouldn't be so hot.

Haven't bothered in years.

DH likes when I shave my legs but he understands that it's a tircha and that I don't care, and he's okay with me not shaving my legs also.

I do shave my underarms though.

Are you people who are not shaving going bare legged or wearing sheer tights that you can see the hair growing?
Or are you talking from a comfort point of view?

I can never be bothered shaving but I do it bevause I dont want people seeing my legs with hair on.
When I wear thick tights I dont do it very often, but in the summer with v thin tights I keep on top of it.

Not really. Sometimes in the summer if I really want to wear a shorter skirt.

But it's winter now, so...nope. Not if I can help it.

I don’t shave even on the summer while wearing nude tights. My hairs are blonde so I just hope they’re not noticeable. Hopefully that doesn’t make me socially off.

I always wear black opaque and long skirts cause my legs aren't that beautiful and I broke it just above my ankle many years ago and over the years the area has thickened which makes it look even worse. I wore nude to shul a couple of years ago and a few people came over so sympathetic and offering medical advice that I will bl"n never do it again. So it's just become my look. But I actually do shave most weeks cause I just don't like hairy things and over the years the hair has really thinned. As for DH I asked him a number of times but these things really don't bother him.

I wear long skirts and real socks, not stockings or tights.

Only when I go swimming. I used to not, but I was so self conscious especially at hotels if there were strangers. I did for the first time when I was over 30

I never shave. I've always lived in maxi skirts and black knee socks, even before they were in style. I only shave when I'm getting dressed up for simchos or something special and will wear nude tights, in the summer. Life is so much better being chilled, I can't be bothered and my husband doesn't care.
