Aunt Hippie’s Opinions N Sh!t
1 min readAug 10, 2024

I’m what I refer to as “indifferently shaved.” I don’t shave my armpits because the skin is just too sensitive and I was tired of itching.
I trim “down there” enough that it didn’t stick to the sticky tape on menstrual pads, just a quick pass with a half inch guard. And leave the pudenda alone because gah, I made that mistake exactly once and home surgery on ingrown hairs does not put one in a mood for the sexy times.
My legs, if I’m thinking of it I will dutifully mow them 1-2 times a summer- I’m fair enough that above the knee is blonde, but I do shave my shins when the breeze makes them tickle.


The only hair I am deeply and personally offended by are the 7-8 wiry chin hairs. Not because of the aesthetic, but because they are *poky* when I rest my chin on my hands to think and they must be smot as soon as there is a noticeable stiff barb.

I also shaved my head for 3 years, I’m not exactly into performing femininity unless I feel like it on an odd Tuesday, but I cannot abide those stupid poky hairs.
