I wasn't aware that anyone did this until two weeks ago with my neice and her friend were sitting at my other nieces birthday party and were discussing getting ready for the event....I don't shave the hair off my toes! This must be something new or is it something I overlooked?

Yeah, that's me too Ellie. I'm shaving my ankles and it is just another swipe on each big toe.

I have heard of people shaving the tops of their toes before. I have never done that. I don't have hair on my toes since I had chemo but I used to only on the top of my big toes and it was not dark and not a lot and I never even considered it.

Nope, I don't shave my toes. Actually never thought about doing this procedure. My hair is blonde so if there is any hair on my toes, it wouldn't be noticeable. The hair on my arms is barely visible and blonde also. Nothing surprises me today..lol

I have never heard of females shaving their toes till now. I pluck the hairs from my toes in the summer though. I know, really odd. But I wear snadals and the hairs always get ripped out from the sandals so to avoid that pain I pluck them a few times during the summer.

I guess, everyone doesn't shave their toes but occasionally darker haired womehave to do this once in a while. I am sure that "blondes" don't have to do it at all. I have very dark hair (which are mixed into my gray hairs now) and I used to have to but since I have become a senior citizen I don't need to shave my toes nor my legs very often. It is nice because it gives me for time to remove the facial hairs that I have now been growing lately. Haha....one of the drawbacks for getting mature.

I shave the hair on my big toes because that's the only place I get it on my feet. In fact, I shaved it today. Body hair just bothers me a lot and I don't feel attractive with it. I have cute feet so I like showing them off.

I never shaved my toes. The lady that I work with does. She told me one time that she shaves the hair off the top of her big toes. I dont no if she get a lot of hair on her toes or not. But whos going to get there head down that close to your toes anyway to see if you have hair on them, unless the hair is black and thick.

Hey jillhill.
I am a toe-shaver. I admit it. It started in my teen years and has just continued. Over the years, I've had to do it less and less often. In fact, I just shaved them today before we went out to dinner! Is that funny or what?
You must not have hair on your toes. Otherwise, you'd already be doing it.

I have never shaved my toes. That's really strange. Does your niece and her friend have a lot of hair on their toes that they need to shave them?

I don't shave my toes. I don't have any noticeable hair on them...yet...lol. You never know. But I love wearing heels that show my feet, so if there's something on them I'm fixing that real quick. lol.

I didn't think to shave my toes. I don't think it really matters if I have hair on my toes, no one is touching my toes, not even my boyfriend. Though I don't think it's easy to tell if I have hair on my toes or not. I never really heard of anyone shaving their toes until now.

My son's father is very obsessive about things like that.
When I met him, he thought it was disgusting that I had little hairs on the top of my toes. I never even noticed them before!
He wanted me to shave them off, so I did!
Now of course they grow in heavier since I shaved them before, but I don't really worry about it.
Anything to keep him away from me! haha!

I have Hobbit feet. I have to shave my toes and the tops of my feet. I have since High school, and I'm 30! I blame the PCOS for this... that or genetics. I'm never really sure which one.
I do have dark hair and really fair skin, so that means everything stands out more.
