Title: Leg and Pit Hair Pre T
Post by: Hurtfulsplash on September 18, 2010, 03:51:01 PM
I've noticed some people here have little or no leg/pit hair pre T, however I have a lot, I'm as hairy as a dude, the hair just isn't as coarse.
What was your "hair" experience before T?

I haven't started T (and I doubt I will for a long time) I shave my leg and pit hair because I find body hair gross, to be completely honest.

I have a lot, im hairy-er than a lot of dudes. My hair is thick and black to add onto it.
Im pre-t and probably won't be starting for another 5 months or so.
But im with Devyn, I think body hair is disgusting on me. But I have stopped shaving because I hate having to shave everyday or every other day.
And like Jesse, im scared to be a hairy monkey bear :(
I guess ill have to wax my whole body if I do :/

I haven't started T yet, but I have a decent amount of hair. I stopped shaving my legs like 4 months ago, and from my just above my knees and all the way down is pretty hairy. I like having body hair, but I'm with the rest of you about turning into a fuzzy beast. My dad and grandpa are really hairy, so it might be unavoidable once I start T.

I HAVE PICTURES!
I haven't shaved in about 5 years, maybe more.

I have one armpit that's pretty hairy and the other isn't so much. My legs are pretty hairless for 5 years or so without shaving. I've been told that even compared to other FAAB I'm pretty darn hairless.

I have some, but I recently had to shave so that's why.  Within a month of not shaving, though, I start to rival guys in hair growth. xD I just have lots of leg hair and pit hair and it's all black so it makes it look even hairier.

I'm kinda hairy, although my leg hair is a bit patchy.

I'm pre-T and haven't shaved in several years.  (Except my arm pits.  I like to keep those trimmed.)  I have PCOS, so that's probably influenced the amount of hair I have.  My leg hair is long and thick, but not overly dark.  So, what the heck, here's the side of my leg and my "happy trail."

I have a nice bald patch on the outside of each leg from where the jeans swish against it.

Otherwise I look a lot like Farm Boy.

I wish I had a happy trail, only have about 3 long black hairs below my belly button at this point. I have some dark and coarse chin hairs, but nothing close to a beard. I don't find an overly hairy chest and back that attractive, but I generally like body hair and am looking forward to getting more when I start T soon.
Title: Re: Leg and Pit Hair Pre T
Post by: M.Grimm on September 18, 2010, 07:05:24 PM
My body hair was non-existant pre-T. A tiny amount of pit/groin hair and that was it. 6 weeks on T and I still have nothing much to look at; I grew in a few hairs on my legs. I'm hoping that my leg hair fills in more, my legs are literally bare, not even peach fuzz, in some areas. It's really stupid looking to have bare skin from the ankle up to nearly the knee, then some hair on the knee, then nothing above. Fortunately it's the end of shorts season.

Otherwise, I don't care if I never get chest hair. It'd be nice to have that option but it's just not that important to me.

Farm Boy: You're afraid of turning into me?!  Just kidding  :laugh: I definitely know what you mean, but as my dad is a hairy guy in the chest, back, arms, belly, but somehow not so much in the legs xD , I doubt it won't happen. Nothing wrong with a bit of fur though  ;)

I'm a bit hairy I suppose. I think I might have slight PCOS, though I've never had it definitely diagnosed. My doctor did note it though since he noticed my hair. My oldest sister does have PCOS and she's got a mean chin beard goin' on.   :D She threads it though. I have a slight stache, slight sideburns, and a decent bit of neck/chin hair. I know I had enough to get people to poke fun when I was in girl mode and now it's just too little man hair :(

Here are some pics. I tried to get decent ones with my phone, so mind them please. :)

So yeah. Nothing as awesome as Farm Boy there, but enough to be pretty manly  ;D

Pre-t I had a decent amount of leg hair and pathetic pit hair. Now I have very hairy legs but I have very little difference in my pit hair.
Title: Re: Leg and Pit Hair Pre T
Post by: Silver on September 18, 2010, 07:36:27 PM
Just a normal female amount I think. My legs are like HurtfulSplash's but I have more pit hair.

Post by: gilligan on September 18, 2010, 08:33:20 PM
I have a ton of hair and I'm pre-T. I have more leg hair than several of the bio-guys I know. I don't really compare my pit hair with people (I'm self-conscious about my fat upper arms) but from what I've seen on some guys, I could really rival them there too. I suppose I may be able to contribute it to PCOS, but I like my body hair. Now, if only i could grow a beard...

I have a decent amount of light-ish leg and pit hair, and my happy trail's hairs are just longer than the rest of my stomach, but not too darker. Arm hair though.. light blonde. Sadness. Lol you PCOS guys make me jealous!  ;D
Title: Re: Leg and Pit Hair Pre T
Post by: jmaxley on September 18, 2010, 11:41:22 PM
My pit hair's pretty scary if I go too long without shaving...I do shave 'em about once a month.   When I say scary, I mean scary, looks like someone glued a small tribble to my underarm.  Leg hair isn't so bad, there's a patch of light fur on the front top part and scattered long hair around my calves, but not much around my ankles.  Belly/chest hair is pretty noticeable, butt hair would be noticeable but I keep that shaved (gotta love tmi).  I too am scared of turning into the wolf man/cousin It on T.  I don't like a lot of body hair.

I gots more hair then some of my male friends..

Ampit hairs are wiry and black and longggggggggggg.

Lower leg hairs are black, roung an inch long and lonber.. and just kinda looks messy and hairy. I stopped shaving roughly two months ago.. and only within the last few weeks have hairs come in in certain areas (like behind the knee areaish - Ive never had hair there before.. even when I stopped shaving for a month or two here and there or when I didn't shave at all. I gots a supppper minor line of hair that is a happy trail then continues up above my belly button for aways.. but it's super minor.

I am pre T, and I voted (none) and of course I do have SOME leg and pitt hair, but my leg hair is so freaking blonde and thin, you would never notice it unless you got super close, and pitt hair is just pathetic

Post by: Berren on September 19, 2010, 03:37:41 AM
I'm Pre-T, I haven't shaved my legs in about a month and a half, and they're fairly fuzzy; the hairs are dark but they start to get patchy/thinner the further up my leg, and then on the knees they get thicker/darker again. The hairs are about an inch or so in the longest places, but I have quite a lot of hairs in-amongst long hairs that are tiny. 8( I haven't had an armpit bush in years, and I just started growing it out a few days ago. From what I can remember it's quite long and dark, but looking at the stubbly bits now, it's a bit patchy, still.

Post by: ilanthefirst on September 19, 2010, 05:30:25 AM
I haven't shaved anything in a little over two years, and I've got more leg/pit/pubic hair than some of my guy friends.  I'm super proud of it and show off whenever given the chance, but I wish I had more, even if I don't want to look like I'm wearing a gorilla suit.  XD

Post by: transteen on September 19, 2010, 01:33:16 PM
I'm Pre-T and I've a bit of body hair. I haven't shaved my legs in a few months, mostly because I felt like leg hair was my source of masculinity or something. When you don't have short hair or anything on your body remotely male, you look for something to masculinize you. For me, it was leg hair. I also didn't want to cut myself shaving  :laugh:

My pit hair is a bit weird, though. It grows in a little line, about half an inch wide, four inches long. I don't know if that's typical female arm pit hair growth, as I don't go around looking at other people's armpits. I haven't shaved my armpits since I came to the conclusion that I am an FTM and I'm going to tell my mom. I'm hoping that when I start T eventually, my pit hair will start to grow out to cover the majority of my armpit. Anybody on T, can you clarify for me?

No, that's not shaved. It's just me. I stopped shaving about 6 months ago to try to figure out what my legs look like with hair, and the answer seems to be "vaguely dirty." I never shaved above the knee, it's just totally hairless up there...actually, the hairlessness starts about mid-calf except for some transparent fuzz on my kneecap.

Not posting pictures of my pits, ugh...I haven't been shaving those either, but I have to say I'm probably going to start again. Not a fan of hairy pits (on me or anyone else). Mine look like my mom's. Ew.

Post by: Noah Scott on September 19, 2010, 02:31:14 PM
I'm pre-T and have never shaved my arms or legs in my entire life. I just never felt a need to, the idea of doing it sounded silly to me. My arms are pretty damn hairy compared to females, my legs have a fair amount but I wouldn't say it's "a lot". I'm guessing since my skin is dark it's harder to tell and doesn't stand out as much as someone with lighter skin but darker hair. As for my pits, they're ridiculously hairy and I need to shave them often. I went the entire summer without messing with them, by the end of August the hairs were long and curly like the hairs on a baby's head. When I go on T I think I'm going to have a serious hair issue.

Not on T here ... but my lower legs look like @kyril's only it's patchy to boot. I'm not a fan of shorts so it doesn't really bother me. My hairiest part though? Inner thighs. No difference between me and a ton of bio guys in that department. I'm not a big fan of armpit hair either. Sometimes I'll let it go for months and then in one day just go, that's it and shave it all.

I don't find pit hair that attractive either, but it goes with the territory, plus I don't like shaving.

I hadn't intended on this being a pic thread, but viewing all your hairiness pics gives me a chuckle. : D

Before T I had some pretty hairy pits...and I hated it. I swear its tender under there.
But once I started T my pit hair became coarser and longer and i'm not sensitive under my pits anymore..so surprisingly it doesn't really bother me like i thought it would.
As for leg hairs...well I had hairy legs preT but it was blonde. I've been on T for a few months and my leg hairs are turning dark brown/black and are getting longer, coarser, curly, and thicker.

My leg and armpit hair was spread out- not very thick and light coloured. Now on T it's darker, courser and more of it. I actually enjoy it and it makes me feel better.

I'm pre T but haven't shaved legs in so long I can't remember the last time. I have fair skin but quite coarse black hair so it does stand out a bit. I've always had hair on my arms too but do occassionally shave pits when they seem to be getting out of control. Am also a bit concerned I'll end up looking like IT as when I go on T  :D

If I didn't shave my body hair, I bet a $100 that I would be hairier that most of you. I don't say that to boast, it's actually pretty disgusting. I have to shave my legs and pits every other day because of noticeable hair growth. It's very dark and very coarse and it's all over the place. I have a dense Treasure Trail and leg hair that goes from ankle to mid-thigh. It wouldn't surprise me if I had a hormonal disorder, but I have never been checked for one.

I get the Tribble Pits too, and my happy trail is kinda like Wolf Man's.  Legs aren't quite as hairy as the hairiest pics posted here, but things can get pretty hairy pretty quick when I let them, long, dark, and straight.  My arm hair's a bit over an inch long, but straight and rather fine, so to me that's not bear hair.

Those "wear spots" from your jeans seem to be pretty common, my dad's got some that you can see when he's in shorts.

I already had a lot of leg (underneath knee) and pit hair before T. Plus on my underarms. But that was not astouning as I've got the hairiest genetics you can imagine. Italian, Ashkenaze, Spanish, French, Italian again etc... Mediterranean people are very hairy compared to the people of their sex of other ethnies.

I'm amazed at Nicks pics. Asian guy, and so hairy? Wow.

I'm surprised at how many guys don't like pit hair and find it uncomfortable. I'm curious why. Is it because it's itchy for you? I have no problem with mine and don't even feel it anymore.

My skin is sensitive in general so it itches no matter if shaved or not, haha. I don't like how it traps my scent though. I never notice it (doesn't bother me) but my mom used to complain about it all the time. ::)

Fencesitter - I have some hairy genetics too. German + French and I have no idea about the English? But regardless, I have hairy genes. :|
