I'm not only forced to but am trying to stay away from sharp objects, this includes shaving razors. The thing is, my legs are hairy and now that it's becoming spring, people will see my leg hair. (sorry if it's gross, it's very awkward for me to talk about it) Also, I've had to dealt with being in gym wearing shorts since my gym teacher told me if i continued to wear leggings, he'd fail me. I don't like the pain of waxing nor can i be trusted if someone shaved my legs for me. What should I do?

Electric or battery operated shavers might be less triggering.

A VERY expensive amount of depilatory cream in the worst areas??

hair removal cream?

or y'know, you could embrace the hair I find that most people aren't rude enough or even noticing to mention if you have hairy legs.

Hair removal cream - it's what I use. It's expensive, but it lasts longer than shaving.

um, can I just say; your gym teacher is a jerk...

those creams work unless you have really coarse hair (like me). Electric razors did the trick for me...

You can epilate/pluck with tweezers.. it's slow going, but it lasts longer than shaving.
