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

Underarms= 8 years
Legs=10 years
I was bullied. No regrets, except not soon enough. X

I shaved in grade 6. Well mum would only let me use hair removal cream. I remember being embarrassed by my hairy legs because I have dark hair and fair skin. My arm hair is very light though, but my legs I had to shave every day (but I hate stubble!)
I now wax my legs, when i can be bothered.

My mum told me to shave me legs when I was in year 6. Prior to that I had not really noticed them. I have shaved them since, with the odd wax. I actually had one waxer who did not believe that I mostly shaved them. I am quite hairy, but if I let leave my legs alone for a winter, the hairs have a chance to lose the blunt ends which give the appearance that shaving makes the hair thicker.

I will let the girls shave when it becomes an issue. I am more concerned about DD1's mono brow than her legs. Might look at laser removal for that.

i'm interested in the answers to this one as well. I was about 12, I think.

I had a number of surgeries on my feet and legs starting when i was around 10 and had plaster on them, and when the plaster came off the hair had grown and so i just started shaving then. I didn't ask anyone for permission, and wouldn't expect my kids to.

My mum pretty much forbid me to shave my legs because she said it was unnecessary and she had always regretted starting. So I didn't until I was 16 or so. My armpits are virtually hairless so I didn't do them until I was over 20. Ironically I only shaved for a couple of years before the rational side of me kicked in and I started to question why society required women to be hairless. (I mean really, why???) After that I didn't shave anything for almost 20 years. I started doing it occasionally a couple years ago out of boredom
I have never waxed anything except brows.

I will try to dissuade my own DD but ultimately, when she gets old enough, it will be up to her.

I just turned 12 when I started shaving mine but I had very fair (white) hair. I didnt actually get underarm hair until I was about 14.
