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.

      Just like anything else that is new it's always the thing that people fear of. People are typically afraid of change. Even something as simple as new procedure at work or the population growing. Typically just have the mindset of it's not broken then don't fix it type of attitude. The world is progressing and they need to accept that or they will eventually be left behind. A good example after WW II women working in the workforce things didn't go well at all due to a lot of butting heads. There are still even people now that think women are only meant for housework and raising babies.

      I've actually seen a lot of people who at least tolerate the LGB and not the T. There's also some of the gay/lesbian population that, unfortunately, alienate trans people away from other parts of the community.   To me, the biggest block is probably the lack of formal exposure. If people aren't taught about LGBT they will, just like any other topic, come to misunderstandings and more. Besides, how can most LGBT people figure out that they are such if they don't know it exists? I know that, personally, I didn't realize I was a guy rather than just someone who wanted to be a guy until I was introduced to trans as a concept

      You're welcome. I wanted to post something new that I haven't posted yet.

      That's a lot of weight congratulations. I was almost about to become a K9 handler in the Air Force back in 2006 but I found out that once you get promoted to E7 you lose your dog. You can get it at E4 as long as they need them but it is usually E5. If you don't understand military jargon, I'll help you out. I didn't want to join the Marines because I actually like to be treated better. I was Security Forces and performed security, law enforcement and everything you could think of such as convoying, fire fights, search pit just to name some. It also helped that I had family that was Air Force and I went through Air Force Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps so I knew the basics of Air Force already. That's awesome that you have goals in life. I hope you get it.

      Not sure what category I'd call this—don't care—I like American music. Any American. Thanks, @Ashley0616

      @FelixThePickleManTrust me I know the feeling. I didn't have the guts to come out that young. It wasn't well known back then. I knew I felt completely wrong. I knew for sure my parents weren't going to help me so I hid it all. It hurt a lot to live a lie. I always pretended to be the female that I was dating. I prayed and cried every night. It's not easy because bullying has always been around and the teachers didn't really care about that stuff back then.    You can make it through this. I would like to help you out just like I have with previous members. It's going to be up to you if you would like it. It's not going to happen overnight I can promise you that. For every negative thing or comment it typically needs double the number for positive things to feel better about yourself. You unfortunately are living with your parents which they are getting used to you coming out too. Sometimes coming out you're going to lose a lot of support. I lost over 40 family members but I'm happier than what I was. I still look at the mirror and still have my issues which is typical because we know our own faults and short comings. You have to value yourself. There isn't going to be an easy life. We all face many obstacles and it's harder for the ones that have something else to deal with.   We aren't in the same boat as some people are in yachts, cruise ships, and so on. There are perks and cons to each one. The best thing is to find something that you are great at and focus on that while trying to improve on the little things. Some have rituals everyday such as a new Bible verse that is related to what you are going through or a poem there are many poems for everything.

      G'day @Vivelacors   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I hope you find this place as informative and helpful as I do.   Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Tonight we will split a thick cut ribeye steak grilled outside, along with fresh asparagus shoots, apple sauce, and fresh cucumber salad. The steak has already been seasoned, wrapped in butcher paper resting to room temperature. The cucumber salad is blended and resting in the refrigerator.   Tomorrow's dinner will be Chicken drumsticks (skin on) that are already marinating in Zesty Italian dressing. Tomorrow I will smoke the drumsticks with apple-wood smoke, before crisping them up on the grill. We'll also have grilling beans, and garlic mashed potatoes.   The outside kitchen is now open.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Clutching of pearls because people that don’t “align with society” party to excess is part of the problem, not a symptom of one. Cis-het folks are out there airing their sexuality, reveling in their debauchery, and displaying general anti-social behaviors all the time but aren’t reacted to in the same manner.   The most important T in this conversation is Time. As long as there is not a fascist, violent, crackdown on LGBTQ+ people, our exposure to society (at least in Western society) will continue to move it towards our acceptance.

      I have three within a two block walk! You'd think I was in Seattle already! The one I have always gone to is the quintessential "local coffee shop" though; local artist's works on the wall, drinks named after customers and local geography, and it's run down just enough to feel homey. Also, I can bring my 20oz coffee mug in and get it filled for the price of a small! :D

      Eczema was my excuse. *high fives!*   It's lovely when you get a nice interaction like that. Yesterday I got a "you're so sweet" from a man who I held the door for, I don't think he saw all of me until after he'd walked past so he only picked up on my outfit and body appearance. I was so paranoid that I used too male of a voice in return, but c'est la vie. I felt really nice after it though.   I tend to try to put in a lot of effort. If I wear make up, it has to be perfect, etc. I put this pressure on myself because I, too, don't have a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks at "passing".  So, I try not to make myself an "easy target".

      It's just the opposite here.  There are a ton of local boutique coffee roasters in this area.  There is no excuse for bad coffee here, which is why I am always surprised when I get mediocre truck-stop coffee in restaurants.
