I wax/pluck facial hair and I pluck the dark hairs on my chest but i leave my tummy alone (I would remove the hair but i don't show it anyways)
everytime i tried to wax my armpits they would bleed! I shave the vajayjay and pits. I wax my lower legs and thighs and I'm thinking about my butt/lower back too because it really helped. My arms are pretty bad I waxed them a few times in the past and bleached but bleaching just makes it look really odd.
If i wax my arms and I supposed to wax the upper part too? I hate the lines i get when i remove my body hair! the hair's everywhere...
I shave my moustache and beard growth with a men's-type Philips Norelco electric razor

my chest isn't really too hairy at all and my tummy's not very obviously hairy -- just a slight happy trail. I don't do anything to either.

I haven't shaved my armpits in decades -- I just keep them covered

I've never shaved my pubic hair -- it's quite a jungle which spreads over a wide area -- but no-one other than dh sees it

I wear long skirts which cover my legs which aren't quite as hairy now as they used to be -- but then I've never seen even a male with legs as hairy as mine once were.

My arms aren't all that hairy and neither is my back.

There's no "supposed to" about it. Do whatever suits you. In point of fact, I end up shaving just what dh shaves -- we both shave moustache and beard growth to present a conventional face to the outside world and I simply cover up the rest while we're not on vacation. Work colleagues, clients etc. have no reason to suspect I have moustache or beard growth because I'm always clean-shaven in their presence and they've no reason to see the areas of my body which have male-type hair on them. DH has no problem whatsoever with my male-type hair in the areas I don't shave, so there's no reason to remove it.
Joy- is your mustache and beard hair growth light in color? I have both also and have to shave everyday but my hair is very dark and looks like you can still see it even after shaving. I am 100% Italian so that doesn't help much either. Arcadia- I have a lot of hair on my upper legs which I don't do anything with cause only my husband sees it. Arms are hairy but that doesn't bother me. I have it on my lower back butt and chest. I do shave my chest if I want to wear a low cut shirt. But not that low cut. I have hair everywhere too. It's one really awful side effect of pcos!
I acutally shave my chin. I have been doing it for a long time after a fellow cyster gave me the confidence to do it. I actually saw on Oprah the other day that Dr. Oz addressed this. He said shaving was actually the safest and it was a myth to think that hair comes in thicker. It certainly hasn't for me.

My moustache is black when I let it grow in sometimes on vacation and after 24 hours the stubble is very obviously black. I shave every morning and if I'm going to be out in public at night I'll shave again before going out.
My beard growth is mainly on the chin where it's coarse and bristly. It's a mixture of dark and light color. The beard growth on the rest of my face is much finer and is mainly light in color. The beard growth on areas of my face other than moustache and chin probably doesn't need shaved every day but a quick swipe over those areas takes literally only a couple of seconds when I'm shaving my moustache and the coarse growth on my chin anyway.

I use a Philips Norelco men's-type electric razor which has a "lift and cut" action which means that the cut end of the hair is well under the surface, so it doesn't show. The other thing that helps is that I wear my hair long and it falls over most of my face and when it's constantly moving, swishing around it distracts attention away from my face itself and also casts shadows which tend to hide any tendency for moustache and beard growth to be noticed.

I'm very thankful that DH is not put off by my moustache, beard and body hair

I've never had all that much hair on my chest. But then I never developed proper breasts either -- really just well-developed female nipples on a flat chest. However, I can wear an open-necked blouse without any problem. And my arms aren't noticeably hairy either.
* Eyebrows, chin - I tweeze.
* I used to have about 5-6 hairs on my chest and I plucked them and they never came back. Odd.
* Underarms - epilate
* Belly (snail trail) - epilate
* Bikini line - neglect until summer. oooops. Then I'm going to get a brazilian. I've had it done before and it was awesome - just couldn't afford to keep it up. So I'll get it done once and then epilate as it slowly grows back. I'm hoping I get the same results as my underarms - a-ma-zing.
* Legs - epilate
* Toes - epilate/pluck
I swear by my epilate. It only cost $40 and I bet no one else can shave or wax for eternity at that price! lol (OK so it probably wont last forever, but its still cheaper!)
I'd love to get laser for my bikini line and legs - but I could never afford it. Maybe when I'm 60 and have an income, investments, no student loan or mortgage lol.

I shave my legs and underarms ... I donīt like to leave them grow so I can wax them.
I get my eyebrows waxed about every 3-4 months, and then pluck them as they start to grow again, until they start to get a bit outta control! I pluck the belly hairs and chin hairs, and I usually wax the bikini line, unless itīs too short to wax and itīs time for a swimsuit then I use a cream.
