10 Things Girls Who HATE Shaving Understand

Shaving is one of the worst, most boring activities. It's like mowing the lawn except wet, and you don't even get the benefit of exercise. Apart from being annoying AF and time-consuming, I really don't appreciate the patriarchy trying to control my follicles. Here are all the other things that girls who can't stand shaving (AKA: girls like me) totally get.

1. Unless your day includes a first date, a gyno appointment, or a pedicure, your body will closely resemble the Abominable Snowman​. Or more accurately, a real human being that society hasn't trained to believe their hair is disgusting.​

2. Summer is literally a nightmare for you. Exposed bikini line, exposed legs, exposed armpits. WHERE EVEN IS WINTER!?

3. But you've stopped caring, so you skip shaving even when your clothes should require it. No one's going to be touching your legs at school anyway....

4. Your mom always reminds you that girls are "supposed to" shave. And you're just like...

5. After you finally shave you feel like You 2.0. But only because you know that now you won't have to shave for another four to 12 days, depending on the season.

6. When Miley stopped shaving, you prayed that the entire female race would follow her lead.

7. You dread Shaving Day all week long.

8. And because you you hate it so much, you put it off waaaay longer than you should. So shaving takes you like 40 minutes because all you have is a measly razor, when you really need a chainsaw at this point.

9. Bikini waxes look like the ultimate form of torture. ​You're not down for that. Plus, your situation is so out of control they'd probably turn you away.

10. When you finally do take the time to shave, you go ​hard. ​You exfoliate, carefully shave over every millimeter, then you lotion up and force everyone to touch your hairless skin, because someone needs to appreciate all that exhausting work you just put in.
