RADICAL IDEAS! *sarcasm*

[korinna5555]

Thoughts/opinions on women who go brafree and/or don't shave legs, armpits, pubic hair, or combinations of those.
I've been completely brafree for almost a month, and have noticed a DRASTIC improvement in breast pain - I don't hurt anymore. I've received some negative reactions, but overall, I've gotten numerous positive reactions.
I also don't shave whatsoever, and I love it. My mother likes to make little comments about how I smell bad, or that my armpits are gross, but Justin LOVES me the way I am now. It's really very liberating to just not CARE, and I've always found women more attractive if they don't shave.

I don't have a problem with women going brafree, so long as they're still dignified. In my experience, women who going braless are seen as trashy, and while not every women who goes without a bra is trashy, many of these women are.

So like I said, I don't really care whether a woman is wearing a bra or not, so long as she's not acting like a complete fool.
For me personally--a bra is the way to go. I really like the way my breasts look in a bra, and while I absolutely love them naked, I think a bra makes them look much prettier when under clothes.


As for the not shaving thing, I did that for a long time, and definitely enjoyed my bushy armpits and fuzzy legs. All last summer folk were treated to seeing my underarm hair as I still wore tank tops almost every day. However, I also really really enjoy the feel of smooth, freshly shaved skin, so I'm going through a period of shaving everything regularly.

When it comes to pubes, I shave everything that faces the floor when standing, and trim everything else. To me it's just courteous. If I'm going down on a lady, I don't want hair in my mouth.

Because of my ancestry, I get very fine hair on my legs, and not too much under my arms. Armpit hair has a huge visual appeal to me, but I don't like the thought of being SUPER hairy, like.. my biological father. He has a pelt.

I am just.. utterly comfortable brafree. I've never gotten a trashy comment, but that may change when I start wearing cami tops instead of t-shirts. I've always worn loose clothing, but.. it's Virginia.





I would like to add (and I am sure that Ophelia will agree, come to think of it) AMANDA PALMER IS FUCKING GORGEOUS. 'Nuff said.

[acidxrainbows]

As far as I'm concerned, as long as people do whatever they do tastefully and it isn't overly offensive to anybody else, knock yourself out.

I personally wear all of my undergarments and use my razor regularly, but I haven't a problem with people that don't. It's a personal thing, as far as I'm concerned.

Do you mean Native American?

[korinna5555]

Yep. I LOVE being Native American!

[Underwater Ophelia]

Why? It doesn't really affect anything.

[korinna5555]

It makes a difference in the amount of body hair, though it can vary. So.. I should say that Native Americans in general tend to have less/thinner body hair. I like having native American blood (mom's side) because my biological father has really think body hair EVERYWHERE, which I really don't like.

Sexyyy

I say go for it. Just be careful to remain dignified.

[korinna5555]

As long as I don't get into the mead, we're fine.

[AngelikDemonik]

If I was small chested, I'd totally go bra-less.

I don't like the feeling of body hair, so I shave, but it doesn't bother me at all when girls don't shave. Whatever floats your boat.

I know what you mean about your race affecting your body hair type. My best friend is Chinese, and she has such thin, fine hair. I don't even think she has to shave.

Cheekbones to die for!!

I have no problem with women doing what they want. I think that they should be able to do what they want.

[KontanKarite]

My GF doesn't shave a damn thing. I do the shaving. I try to lean toward smooth or very trimmed hair everywhere, while she's just all natural.

I think she's INSANELY hot.

I agree, anything can look good as long as it's done tastefully.

[ForgetThisLostLenore]

Although it would drive me insane to not shave, more power to you if you don't want to. I personally shave for myself, just because there is no way I could ever stand gorilla legs. I dislike mass amounts of hair anywhere but on my head, thank you. I actually think it would be more comfortable to go braless (BORN FREEEEEEE!!!), definitely in the summer, but I personally have to agree with Ophelia that clothes just look better with a bra underneath them.

[Lolly PopMuzik]

Braless: I'm 32A so I can get away with it but often don't due to me constantly ending up with pointy nipples everytime. I like braless when I go to sleep but I find they look better in a bra.

Shavingwise-I have a rather sporadic shaving schedule. With my black heritage, the hair tends to be coarse so if I shave the legs everyday, I'm bound for nicks and ingrowns.

Armpit and pubewise, I shave more often in regards to hygiene just so smells don't get trapped and I don't end up with ingrown hairs.

Overall, I think as long as it's tastefully done, it can be quite liberating and refreshing.

[Solumina]

If I don't wear a bra I end up quite sore and I become a bit self conscious (bouncing around + large chest - bra = pain + looks from creepy old men). I also love the feel of soft, smooth skin so I do shave regularly. Do what makes you feel the best ^.^

[Dark Clarissa]

Wish I could go bra-less. Big boobs mean that if I don't wear one regularly gravity would do cruel things to my chest. But I love my boobs, so I'm not too bothered. I think that bra-less is fine, but the older the woman gets sometimes it looks particularly saggy. So I think I concur with what appears to be the opinion here, they look better in a bra when clothed, however, when naked - boobs are just great anyway!!!!

I have no problem with anyone who doesn't shave and sometimes I don't bother. But this is usually when I'm depressed. I do prefer the feel of being completely smooth, armpits, legs and those intimate areas (I really do prefer this area smooth).

[Minyaliel]

I sometimes walk around without a bra, but being a dancer you don't really have much choice. Having 'em bump around hurts. As for the body hair, no jobs for me if I have hair anywhere except on my head and my eyebrows.

I think it's almost disgusting enough to induce vomiting but hey whatever does it for you I guess.

I used to shave my legs but my legs are far too long and I don't have the patience. I might do it once summer hits I suppose. My genes make it hard. I think bodily hair is positively gross. Forearm and light pubic hair is fine enough but after that... good grief. Unless you have like very short light almost invisible hairs then fine you can get away with it.


As for braless, it doesn't look nice. It also will cause those puppies to sag later in life. Think long term.

This is incorrect. I've always worn properly fitted bras ( they ain't massive but they are definitely big enough to need one ) and by hell , you wouldn't want to be seeing these things. I've seen people far older with way perkier tits than mine I need a breastlift, No joke. Gravity doesn't only happen in your 40' and 50's , that I can promise you.



I only take my bra off to go in the bath/shower, or in bed. Otherwise it's practically glued on. I even alternate between a sports bra and my usual ones sometimes. In the fruitless hope of it having some sort of magical lifting effect when I take the bugger off. But no. It is comfy though.


I have to shave. I can't not shave. That would be unbearable. I will go with stubble for a few days, then it gets to me and I have to whip out the razors. I don't really have a problem with seeing other women wandering about with hairy pits, my mother hasn't shaved hers in....well I can't even recall a time when she's been hair free under her arms. As long as the persons pits aren't literally right in my face, I couldn't give a toss.

My friend Rachel says that this happens when women don't wear a bra for a long time. :/

[honeythorn]

Well it's been happening to me since I've had breasts ( and always worn a bra ) , but not quite yet on that woman's scale I will say. Mine still don't look as they should for a woman of my age who has always worn proper bras.

[crucifix]

I think shaving is up to the person doing it. Shave, don't shave, wear a bra, don't wear a bra. Whatever. Make yourself confortable, that is all that matters.
