Are you gals natural? trimmed? shaved? or waxed?

Nope…why should I be the only one to enjoy it?
Any advice for someone considering having this done? From what I read you're meant to leave it alone for 12-24 hours.
The internet has a bit of a void on legit practical advice...

I tried shaving once in my teens and it itched so fucking bad.
 
we need a thread on lit. Instead of getting dirty just a shared knowledge base for people considering new things...
 
I was at the beach last weekend and this topic came up. There were 5 girls involved in the discussion and 4 of the 5 said that once beach season was over (after Labor Day), they stopped shaving until the spring. Is this really a thing? Do others do this too? I’ve heard of not wearing white after Labor Day but this was the time that I heard about not shaving after Labor Day.

With good technique shaving your legs each day can be a ridiculously long process. If you're about to spend a winter some place snowy I could understand not bothering with the upkeep unless you had a special occasion. I mean stockings and tights both look cute in winter...

Edited to add: like why would you bother trying to maintain a tan when it's freezing cold out and no one is at the beach anyways?

Why shave in the winter, you want everything warm and toasty.

So you are supposed to leave it alone, but I don’t. Take ibuprofen ahead of time, exfoliate the morning of and starting a few days after, keep doing it on a regular basis and it won’t hurt as bad. I don’t think the pain is that bad-just get a good waxer. Ask friends or go to yelp.

Yes I found a good waxer in the end. Hot wax not strip wax all the way. But since it was yhe first time she's told me my skin will feel less irritated with each visit.
Can't say it felt painful. More spicey like a very hot PadTahi dish.
