Some of us are super-hairy -- others, not at all. Regardless, most experience random follicles that appear in odd places. In this episode the women talk about their body hair, what they think about it, and how they deal with it. (4:11)
I know that it is commonly thought that hair grows back thicker and darker after shaving, but it is not actually true. For scientific confirmation of this fact check out: www.mayoclinic.com/health/hair-removal/AN00638
If you like anecdotal info; my 21 year old sister never shaved, but has thick, dark hair on her legs. From ages 16-20, I shaved my entire leg. When I stopped shaving my upper leg 5 years ago, the hair grew back just as light colored and fine as it was before I shaved. My sis just has more body hair than I do and shaving or not shaving won't change that.
Just thought I would try to dispel one more myth about the human body! :-)

Hey Al, check out this video were the women talk about it. Remember though, everyone has different opinions about all things sexual -- the best approach is to simply ask your partner what she likes! Enjoy!

The are bleaches out there for body, you just need to shop around for the best one. It could burn though, so be careful! (and keep in mind, while your hair may freak you out, your man might LOVE it!).

Ashley, did you read the first comment? How comes you wish you never shaved your thigh when it would be as hairy as it is now. Is you shaved your thigh since you were 13 changes are your hair increased, but that would be anyway.
