I need help.

How do I ask my mom to let me shave my legs???? I’ve tried asking her lots of times but it’s just too awkward. All my friends started to shave their legs in 5th grade and I’m going into 7th and haven’t started. 😬 I just feel uncomfortable about my legs but I worry my mom will say no.

So yeah. I’d really appreciate any advice that you guys have!
Thank you, and have an amazing dayyyy!

When I was in grade school, I had this journal with my mom that we would talk to each other in. She would give me advice and stuff through there because it would be too awkward having a conversation with her. I would say either write her a note or even ask if you could start a journal with her. I hope this helped!

I don't personally shave my legs anymore but I felt weird abt asking my mom too when I first did. But is there any particular reason you think your mom will say no?

I would tell her that it would make you feel more comfortable if you shaved your legs. Because if you let her know that it would make you feel more comfortable, I'm sure she will listen.

If you want, you could tell her that many of your friends already started, but that is up to you. (If you feel that you need to say something to convince her.)

@-Liza- @ChaosZone @SummerBird thank you! These were all so helpful! I’m planning on asking her tomorrow or the next day before school starts for me!

I had to go through this recently… talk about awkward haha. I just said something like “hey, mom, will you order me a razor so I can shave my legs? I want to shave them because I don’t like having hairy legs and it can be embarrassing.” She was super nice about it, and ordered me one and I’m glad I asked. Good luck!

I honestly would just say “can you get me a razor and shaving cream for shaving,” Then just go from there.

Not that you have to use shaving cream. I don’t anymore, but in the beginning I accidentally nicked myself a lot more so it helps prevent that.

I had a problem with my dad lol, I would suggest at least if she says no try to convince her just to go up to your knee, that's how my dad got convinced to let me

So my mom was the same - I didn't get to shave my legs til I was in 10th grade and only bc i was wearing a short dress to a wedding!! She told me to start off with just shaving from my knees go down - then I managed to shave my full leg bc I complained to her that you could v clearly see where i started shaving from hahah. so maybe u can make that deal w your mom, or maybe suggest other options like hair removal cream bc it's a more convenient method or waxing since it lasts much longer etc.
good luck! 😅

Well I have very light blonde hair on my legs and when they started getting darker I just shaved them I didn’t ask and nobody noticed and when someone finally did, literally nobody cared so there wasn’t much of a problem for me. Your mom probably won’t be that bad about it. I mean she (probably) shaves her legs anyways and she had to start at some point so I’m sure she won’t give you a hard time. I’m going into 8th grade and I just started doing it this summer (only when I was going to see people though because otherwise who cares) but you are definitely old enough and I don’t think there’s a problem with wanting to be comfortable with yourself. Good luck!

There’s really nothing to be afraid of! If you use the right products, it doesn’t hurt at all! If you want super duper clean legs with no rashes or bumps, I would go for waxing, but I know the pain isn’t for everybody. As for asking your mom, throw it out casually like “Oh yeah all my friends shave their legs maybe I could try it out sometime”

My advice to you is don't feel pressure to shave, bc having body hair is completely normal and okay, as for asking your mom I wouldn't say you want to shave bc your friends are I would say you want to try it out and see if it feels more comfortable for you, I hope this helped!

I didn't see that she said yes lol, but the advice about body hair still stays lol what I always say is shave bc you want to not bc you have to and try not to let others pressure you or make you feel bad yk?

I just started telling my mom and commenting a bit on that I didn’t like it and started subtly giving hints till she gave me stuff to do it. I guess she also realized that it would be helpful for me since I’m a swimmer and it would make me faster. I know this can be really embarrassing cause I just did it but no one really notices.
