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.
