Silky smooth legs on hormones?

Silky smooth legs and hormones?

Noticing women who have toned silky smooth legs. I know it requires using shaving or escalating or something like that but their legs look so feminine and beautiful. I was wondering will I have that on hormones or will I still have to deal with those stupid hairs and having red spots on my legs where I have shaved on some area etc. Legs look great in tights or pantyhose, but a lot of women are walking around with bare legs in the summer. I think I might have asked this a long long time ago but I don't remember.

Yes I would like to know the answer for this too. I get red bumps that last for like... A year and it's REALLY frustrating. And what's worse is even though I shave you can still see little black stubbles so I'm VERY annoyed.

Later, when major things are done for me, I plan to treat myself to some body electrolysis as well if needed. I don't want to do that to start, since HRT tends to make body hair finer and thinner so it may not be needed, but if it is, I'll have my electrologist zap those body hairs just like she's doing to my face.

You and I must have the same legs. I absolutely HATE how my legs never look clean shaven!

The hairless wonder here...

My legs are my best attribute. Never had hair or chiseled masculine muscles, and getting a healthy tan already this year.

A week ago, walked into a restaurant wearing a short skirt and heels, two young men were seated at the door, passing within a few feet of them. It was a loud exclamation, "Whoooeee, get a look at those!"

My feet didn't touch down for a while after that!

Now, I got a head start in the legs department, but all of you could surpass this old girl easily!

Love, Megan

I had the same problem, I used to get horrible red bumps, and dozens of ingrown hairs any time I shaved my legs. I switched to epilating and it helped some, definitely gave better results, but still not great.

A year after hrt, yes, I have much smoother legs, and I no longer get the red bumps for more than an hour or so, and ingrown hairs are a rarity. I don't know if it's more due to hormones or just that my skin is accustomed to the hair removal, but I like to think it's a combination of both.

My wife actually came in one morning when I had epilated the evening before and after waking me, ran her hand over my leg and said "I wish my legs were smooth like that" ^_^

And let me tell you, I had extremely hair legs, dark coarse hair. I think you'll do just fine :)

I've been on hormones and anti-androgens for years and have almost no body hair. I haven't had to shave my legs in years. They're smooth and silky. YMMV but some of you might get the same result. In the mean time, I recommend using an epilator if you can tolerate it. You'll have smoother, longer lasting results than shaving.

If this was Facebook I would be giving both Shilo, KarenLyn, Megan Rose and a few others a thumbs up Like. But seriously though, it's good to know that even though I may not get the same results as others, there is hope. Considering Shilo had hairy extremely hairy legs. And if that isn't in the cards for me for the legs, maybe using the epilator on my legs like KarenLyn. Megan Rose, you would get the thumbs up Like because you are so lucky to have the great legs, nice enough to hear positive comments.

I have a friend who looks like her legs are smooth and clean shaven all the time. It made me really jealous as a matter of fact until she told me her leg hairs are blonde so you can't see how hairy they are unless you're up close. Now I'm not as jealous.

      For that part, be glad you live in MS and not in CA or some other "paradise."    Unfortunately, right now in the USA it is about choices.  Choose to live in a mostly free state that doesn't want my gender to exist, or choose to live in a leftist place that accepts my gender but not my family or my faith, or how I want to live my life or the stuff I own.   As for the lawsuits... hiring a lawyer costs money.  And a "no fees unless you win" attorney probably won't take a case like this, as it is difficult to get money from folks who often don't have anything.  As they say, "it is hard to get blood from a turnip."

      There's a couple of things.  First, since so many LGBTQ+ folks often vote Democrat, it is simply assumed that "LGBTQ = Democrat."  And to many, Democrat = enemy.  The fact that some of us don't vote for Democrats comes as a surprise to many.  You wouldn't believe how many different times I have had to explain how I vote, that I don't like Biden, etc...   And then, there's the flamboyant, over-the-top appearance and behavior of some.  When average folks see strange dress, wild colors, and the occasional provocative behavior in the news, they assume that it is the norm and that all LGBTQ+ folks are like that.  To them, "LGBTQ = weird."    I think that @Abigail Genevieve is right, part of it is lousy marketing.  And that will take a ton of undoing, because it has been going on for years.

      Personally, I despise the antics of the "swing" states. Double-minded and unstable, shifting every time the wind blows.  OK, so the Lt Governor of Georgia doesn't like Trump.  Small potatoes.... given the 2020 results, nobody counts on Georgia anyways.

      Its midnight here...so, technically morning   I had a really weird evening, and learned something new about politics.  My sister, who is running for public office as our township constable, received a "present" today, left on the hood of her patrol car.  An axe!  Wrapped in a bundle of sticks (dowels?).  The sheriff received one also, and a couple other candidates.  Now, my first thought was it was meant as a threat, and I was freaked out when she told me.  But she wisely identified it as political criticism:   During the 2020 election, a small dissident minority objected to our sheriff, and labeled him "Mussolini."  Apparently the symbol of the F@scist Party came from ancient Rome.  An axe, circled with rods, and the whole bundle was called "fasces" and represented the authority of the state.  Roman officials would have them symbolically carried ahead of them through the city on parade.  Other nations used it too, including the USA.  But since the 1920s, it is mostly associated with a certain political party.  Either I was never taught this in high school, or I didn't notice it.    So, it appears that this election season will have some interesting aspects.  And I have been asked to put gold spray paint on an axe, to make it like a trophy.

      Welcome @Vivelacors!  For myself and many others here it is a similar theme.  But, I can assure it's never too late.  I hope that you will discover that as you explore and connect with more of us on the Forum.    You've already taken the most important first step ... Self-Affirmation.  I am wishing you the best in continuing this process. Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      I can remember as a teenager being a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and living in the bible belt. It was always a little hard-I think religion is just tricky anyway.    I was referred to a couple of ladies at church by my mum who gave me very good advice.  One has known those who are are trans- and how they approched it.    The other has two people in their life who identify differently. They also gave other ideas to assist me.     I do like ideas though.

      If I am leaving the house I will almost always do makeup.  Not over-the-top but enough to feminize my face (eye shadow, mascara), lipstick, and a light cover of a concealer and foundation. I found my favorite lipsticks are Maybelline.  But the concealer/foundation I 'discovered' in Neutrogena Hydro Boost - Hyaluronic Acid based.  For 'older' gals like me I find it moisturizes and doesn't dry into those annoying fine lines (I have enough of those already).    Hopefully, after facial hair removal I might not feel the need as much.

      I think it just comes down to a lot of people not knowing anything about the lgbtq+ community besides what reactionaries online and on TV say. In my experience, people who have a lot more day-to-day contact with gay and trans people, have lgbtq+ friends or family, coworkers, etc. are a lot more accepting because they know an lgbtq+ person, and know that we aren't anything like what the people on TV say we are.

      Actually the bill seems to be so thoroughly confusing that I doubt that enforcement is even possible.  It could however incite vigilante style actions.  A false accusation against a "looks challenged" Cis woman is very likely to happen early on.  So what will happen in the case of those situations?  I have a script in mind over the sad average looking daughter of one of the legislators getting tangled into one of those situations.  I don't know whether it would be a comedy or a tragedy at the minute.

      I don't know yet. I'm sure there is going to be a big crowd. I also would have to keep up with the kids and probably won't enjoy myself mostly.
