Shaving, Zits, and the Gym

by Marie on April 1, 2008

Do you have these same thoughts as me? Check the questions below and leave a comment if you are brave enough to answer!!

Do you shave any higher than your knee in the winter? or summer for that matter? Or do you even shave at all in the winter? Sundays seem to be my shave day. If I don’t shave at least on Sunday, the leg hair sticks through my tights!

Do you pick your zits or do you have the patience to let them be? I have to pick them. I know, it will leave a scar. I learned it from my sister and she learned it from the sister before her. All of our husbands hate it.

What kind of underwear is worn at the gym? This is mainly for the ladies. I have problems with every kind there is. I am asking this question sincerely. I really have a hard time with this. I don’t think I can go bare, and I hate the string up the crack. Maybe I just need to work out in the comfort of my own home, where only my kids will see my double bum.

Have you ever wanted to take your laptop into the bathroom with you, instead of a book? Just wondering, I would never do that. My husband would kill me. Come to think of it, who actually takes in a book?

My partner would kill me too if I took the laptop into the toilet. I think there are probably a lot of men out there who take the newspaper into the toilet (my brother for one)

Nope, no shaving above the knee, and only about once a month in the winter!! I think I’m lucky to have very fine hair on my legs. Just sayin.

NEVER above the knee. What a waist of time, I hate shaving. I rarely do, even in the summer. I am lucky also that I have VERY fine and spars leg hair.

The underwear thing at the gym, I always cover my bum with a thin long sleeve shirt around my waist. I feel my comfortable that way.

I hardly have enough time to go to the bathroom in peace, thinking to take in a book or even a flyer is out of the question for me.

I guess I’m weird but I always shave above the knee. As far as the underwear thing goes, I totally know what you mean. I have found that boy cut underwear doesn’t cut your bum in half like regular underwear and you don’t have to deal with the but floss of a thong. I get the boy cut stuff that has less bulk, usually from gap body, some from american eagle and some from victoria secret. I just try to buy the stuff that is as shear to my bum as possible, if that makes any sense. :) oh, and I am usually in and out of the bathroom pretty quick – I don’t really get the whole reading thing. How could it ever take that long?

Oh and my family would agree – I am the ultimate zit picker. bad habit . . .

shaving – don’t go too much above the knee…and yes…I shave weekly summer or winter (OK…maybe I skip a week here or there during the winter, *sigh*).

zits – no way I’m going to let a little bit of puss just sit there on my face (or anywhere else for that matter) without giving it a good pick n’ squeeze.

underwear – I’ve given up on the gym…I do my exercising with several nice ladies who give me praise without even seeing what I’m doing! (ie…I use DVDs and my TV) :)

Bathroom w/ laptop – I’m gonna stick with everybody else here…I’m not in there long enough…if I was…my house would be covered in mud and on fire!

Ha! Such a funny post.
Shaving legs only takes place on Sundays for me and rarely above the knee. Lucky me, I have fine blond leg hair so not a huge deal if it doesn’t get done.
Have to pick zits. I think it’s a girl thing. I don’t know any who don’t.
I worked in the health club industry for 9 years and with my experience most women (especially instructors and trainers) go bare bummed. I’ve had good luck with the hanes her way sports kind. The look a little like cotton jersey grandma underwear, but give good coverage and don’t ride up.
I can’t ever think of a time when I was on the toilet long enough to read anything. Not gonna lie though, I have talked on the phone to my sister while going before. Don’t worry- I washed my hands and sanitized the phone!

Not fair all of you who claim to have fine leg hair!

I admit to talking to my sister on the phone on the toilet too.

Thank you all for your suggestions on GYM underwear. I will be trying the boy cut kind.

Thanks to all for admitting your deepest darkest secrets.

Laura – I need to wear a long t-shirt to the gym, at least until my hot bod is back from being prego!

LAHansen – I hear ya on the zits! I hate to stare at anyone who hasn’t picked the whitey.

Kelly – I love the nursing episode.

1. i never shave above the knee unless i’m going to being wearing shorts & a skirt, bathing suit… etc. during the winter, i only bother shaving on sunday.

2. i’m a pincher. especially if they are white. i hate whiteheads, when i see someone with one, it takes all my strength to not go up and just go pop!

3. as for underwear… i like the boy cut kind for working out.

4. never taken the laptop into the toilet, but i have nursed while sitting on the john. (i know, ewww! but i was sick, and he was screaming, there wasn’t much else i could do.)

I’m late to the party, but cannot resist these questions…

Do you shave any higher than your knee in the winter? or summer for that matter?

I have to shave, I get all itchy if I don’t, but I never shave higher than my knee. And all of the unshaven hair is like baby hair. It’s so strange. It’s even blonde.

Do you pick your zits or do you have the patience to let them be? I pick them too. Thankfully I don’t get very many, or I would be a MESS.

What kind of underwear is worn at the gym?
What is this gym of which you speak?

Have you ever wanted to take your laptop into the bathroom with you, instead of a book?
I have done this. I almost can’t believe I did it, but I did. It sort of prompted me to – take a step away from the keyboard. Yuck.

Ha ha, funny post!

I never shave above the knee. Once/week in the summer; once every one-two weeks in the winter.

I’m a pick-a-holic. I can’t seem to help myself, it drives Tyson nuts!

The underwear depends on the workout pants – if I’m wearing a more form-fitted pant, I usually go bear-bum – it must be those years of dance, wearing only tights and a leotard – you never have to worry about the underwear creeping; it’s kinda nice. Otherwise, if I’m wearing sweats, it’s victoria secret seamless undies.

Never tried the laptop thing – when I was a kid, I can remember bringing a book in with me if I was really into it and didn’t want to put it down. I’ll talk to sisters, my mom, and close girlfriends on the phone, too sometimes. (the other day when you called and Ty answered the phone, and then when I said “hello” and you asked if everything was alright – yeah, I was on the toilet – not sure why Ty couldn’t just take a message… :)

I couldn’t help but reply although I know I am late with one. Okay first off I am so glad I’m not the only one who shaves that way. Also, I wanted to say something about the laptop ordeal. I LOVE that picture. I really need to find a sign like that because my brother (who’s 17 and is constantly texting/IMing/etc) takes the laptop in with him at Mom’s-even if there’s company over. Those poor fingers never get a rest from texting/IMing. It cracks me up when we’re over and he does that.

ok, first of all yes we ALL are zit pickers duh! are you dumb or something and next of all thanks to all of those who are bragging because they dont have any zits or have small hairs on their legs you suck!
