When are you old enough?

Have her try a sample area first. I would suggest her first time be on a Friday night, so if there is any kind of reaction, she won't be embarassed to go to school.

i might try it this weekend....my mom says she shouldn't shave till she's like 15...i think she doesn't want her g-baby to grow up....

My situation is kind of similiar. My 15 year old son just started shaving early summer. Doesn't need to all the time, but it's just another sign he is growning up even more. This is hard on us mothers how did our mothers do it?

My son only has a few on his chin and then a mustache that he shaves. LOL yesterday I caught him looking in the mirror and I asked if he like what he saw

and he said he was just making sure his "6-pack" was still there.

He's been lifting weights and since he's so skinny, thought he could buff up a little. It is working, he quite a handsome young man.

I haven't read all the posts but I think I would explain to her that just because other girls do doesn't mean that she might be ready to. If during your discussion you feel she actually has a need to shave I'd let her. If not then there is really no sense to let her yet.

My girls are totally different and developed differently. Therefore they started doing things at different ages. One started her period at 10!!!! the other at 13, but that's another topic.

Growing up is hard.

good luck mom you're doing great

since i'm a little younger.. i actually started my period when i was 10 and also started shaving then as well. too freakin bad my boobs didn't really develop then too! lol

but just don't let your daughter do what i did.. because of peer pressure, plus where i lived and a tthe time it was totally in.. i shaved my eyebrows off in the 6th grade.. i was 11 but im going to be 21 and its still hasn't grown back the way it used to be...

i think the veet system is awesome

.. now i just prefer waxing.. gets rid of all the dead skin cells and keeps the hairs thin and doesn't grow back as fast and also no ingrown hairs.. yes i wax everything ..

I just thought of something, but don't know if it will work.....when I started shaving my legs I started with a razor with a blade. We didn't have the disposalable then, so cuts and razor burns were done easily. Maybe an electric razor would work for her first time...has anyone used one for their first time?

Let her use a good body lotion after shaving.
Good luck.
