eh...
I just can't get that worked up over this.
I think I was 9 or 10 the first time I shaved my legs. (I'd always had hair on them.) Then I didn't shave them for a while. Then I did again. I probably started doing it consistently in around eighth grade.
I tried Nair once around that time. Bought it with my allowance money, so it was fairly cheap. It smelled like rotting cucumbers and burned my skin. Other friends LOVED it, however.
Nowadays, I shave every day in the shower. (Not a real meticulous operation, just dragging a razor over the soap suds. Takes maybe a minute while I'm letting the conditioner soak into the hair on my head.) My hair and fingernails grow very fast, so I've always got some stubble going on somewhere. I don't really worry about it. I've got friends that shave, friends that wax, friends that use Nair, friends that go au naturael. To each her own.
If I have a daughter someday, what she decides to do about her leg hair is the least of my worries.
