At what age did you let DD start shaving her legs?

I was 13 - no one else really shaved their legs in my age group before then so there was no pressure. I didn't have very hairy legs though.

I will be watching this thread with interested because my 13 yo DD has just asked about this for the first time, I'm not sure how to proceed.

I wasnt allowed until I hit highschool so 13 but I was teased over it, I think it would have been easier on me if my parents let me when all the other girls started about yr 5-6. Mum had her reasons though she wanted me not to get the dark itchy hairs so quickly and she had to shave regually so I guess she was trying to save me the effort. Definatly positives to both sides.

I first shaved when I was 12 - I was quite hairy, but blonde hairs, not dark. I did have a mustache though, and wasn't allowed to wax til I was 15. That caused me more anxiety than the legs, at least they were blonde yknow?
