Shaving my legs

bobbiejo2003 · June 2011

I just shaved my legs in the shower and I really upset my stomach from having to bend over so much. Anyone else starting to have this problem? How do you shave your legs once you to start to get really big?

Shaving my legs is still okay but now and then I have to be careful putting my shoes on.

Well I have still been taking baths so I can reach my legs better by propping them up on the side of the tub. I know it wont be too long till ill have to start taking showers because it gets a little hard for me some days to get up out of the tub. Bending over now and cleaning is really hurting my bump too. I dont like it at all!

I had the same problem as you! So last week I bought a short, cheap garbage can at Target (it's maybe 18 inches tall?). When it's "shaving legs" day, I bring it in the shower with me & turn it upside down. I prop my leg up on that, and it makes it a TON easier! (The garbage can is not being used right now for garbage....it's specifically the "shaving legs" stand until baby arrives)

I used to have to shave my legs every other day......since getting pregnant I only have to shave once a week or ever other week. Its like it is the only place on my body where hair isn't growing like crazy. So I haven't really had any problems shaving my legs......but if you know of a way to shave your bikini line....let me know the secret. That is so dang hard when you can't see it!!!

I've started doing the bottom half every day and the rest every few days because of that very problem.

According to DH, I "hacked" my bikini line last week when I did it without looking I looked in the mirror, and he was right - some bald spots, etc. I'm also looking for tips on how to do this....without having to stand in front of the bathroom mirror (it's hard to figure out the reflection/which way to move my hand - ha!)

I've had this issue too. I actually have been scouting groupon and living social for discounts on bikini waxing since it lasts longer. Doesn't hurt the wallet as much when it's half price.

I had to start sitting down in the shower to shave. I get dizzy if I bend over. Using this method I had no problem shaving my legs with my DD all the way up to the day I delivered her (I shaved them just before the hospital because I didn't want to be embarrassed).

I leave a mirror on the counter and through the clear shower curtain do my best - Hubby suggests I use his electric razor but will not do it for me... sux i like to be 'tidy'

I've started sitting on the floor of the shower to shave. It's easier to reach and see everything.

The trashcan idea is a good one.. I might have to do that Smile

I would also like to know the secret to shaving your bikini area. I like to be clean shaved down there at all times because its more comfortable to me. I have thought about getting waxed but I would feel so awkward and uncomforable with some Korean lady in my lady parts. I am sure she will be yelling something to her friends/family that work there and I'm sure it'll be something like "She looks like she has a mini chewbacca in her crotch!" Of course I will never know though lol

My sis was smart and did lazer hair removal before they TTC. Luck y Girl doesn't have to worry about bikini or underarms. It set her back about 1,500.00 though. I have no solutions just hate shaving too.

Bending over is not fun. My husband has a big belly (seriously, it looks like he's the preggo one) so he thinks it should be the same and doesn't understandwhy it's so uncomfortable for me. I had to explain that his is all squishable while mine is not lol. Not only do I have a baby in there that I don't want to squish, but it is pushing all my normal insides out of the way which is even more uncomfortable.

Anyhow, I started to sit on the side of the tub and prop my foot up on the other side of the tub. No bending, no stretching, no balancing on one foot, and no getting dizzy.
