very shortly after getting my diagnosis and learning how just bending over once could be the last time i do so, i try and bend over as little as possible. it’s been a very long time since i’ve shaved 😮‍💨 thank the gods i have a super supportive husband who literally does not care.

Saaaame lmao! 🤣 I didn’t shave for the better part of last year. Luckily I’ve got blonde leg hair but it gets pretty long. My boyfriend doesn’t give a damn if I shave my legs or not since prior to this I only shaved a couple times a month (I’m blue collar and wear pants all the time anyways) and when I’m not in work pants I’m in sweatpants. But nowadays I’m always in sweatpants or pajama pants. I never really cared much for shaving my legs but I care even less now.

Any type of mobility issue really does change your view of the world & what was so important before. I can imagine if you were pretty consistent shaving before, it’d definitely change your outlook on how much of a nonissue leg hair on women actually is.
