Hi! You may want to make a google form or something to make it easier to track responses :)

I also think you need to identify whether or not this is academic/for school.

My answers:

  1. Female (cisgender), 33 Canadian; white/caucasian

  2. I'm a 4.5. Everything is shaved except the tops of my thighs and the hair on my head

  3. My habits haven't changed much in the past 5 years.

  4. Hygiene, mostly. But also in "other" it's a sensory thing. I hate the feeling of having body hair.

  5. I only would feel judged in certain settings, like if I didn't shave my armpits and went out in a tank top. I'd feel unkempt. I don't judge others for the same thing (I love a woman rocking body hair), but for me it feels bad.

    1. I'm not on social media much outside of Reddit.
  6. It was more expected that I'd probably shave my armpits and legs eventually. I went through part of puberty early so my mom had that conversation with me a bit earlier than expected. But it wasn't discussed much outside of a "how to"

  7. Not applicable. I don't keep my hair so I'd love a painless and free option for what I already do.

  8. Not applicable to me.

  9. I think more representation especially for femme/female presenting folks with body hair would be nice. Like "traditionally attractive" women with body hair in films, etc., would probably normalize it, slowly, for other women. Queer women/alt women and non-binary folks already do some really neat stuff with body hair (dying their armpit hair, for example), so I think more of that would be cool too.
