You should definitely shave your legs or remove hair from them another way if you are going to show them in sheer hose or even bare. Hair crushed under sheer hose looks strange.
Every CD should shave their legs at least once. It's one of the most femme things we can do. Be forewarned. The feeling of smooth legs is sublime. Wearing hose amps the wow factor to 11. You'll be hooked. You'll wonder why you waited so long.
How I stay hair free has been an evolution. Unlike some girls, I view shaving as a time-consuming chore. I started using an epilator years ago. The results last for 2-3 weeks - big improvement. I got tired of epilating last year and started laser hair removal. After 5 sessions I'm about 80% hair free. 1-2 more sessions and I should be done.
Yes, my razor led me down a rabbit hole. I'm glad it did.

I keep my body free of hair from head to toe. I typically use hair removal creme. In the summer I often let my leg hair grow to avoid any comments when I wear shorts but not sure I will do it this year
I started with trimming my legs with clippers. Closer and closer. Then I read an article of a survey in a men's magazine where 15% of the men who responded said they shaved their legs. So I tried it. Loved it ever since.
The secret for me is using hair conditioner as my shaving lotion. It's great for a smooth and easy shave, and it moisturizes the skin at the same time. No itching or burning.
My experience is that the alcohol in shaving cream leaves me burning. No need. Hair conditioner. Tell me if I'm wrong.
The choice is yours. Only you can decide what you want to do.
That said, if you want to, why not? The first time I shaved my legs, I felt really self conscious and let it grow back, even though nobody said anything. More recently I tried again, and now I don't see ever going back. It just feels great! Yeah stubble/itchiness becomes a problem if you let it go too long, but that depends how fast your hair grows. luckily for me I can get away with only shaving once a week or so.
I've worn shorts out (in guy mode) tons of times since I started again too. I'm pretty much over the self consciousness by now. Nobody's said anything, either people are just being polite or haven't even noticed a thing! (My leg hair was pretty light anyway, so that might just be the case)
Hey ladies, Shaving my legs is part of my womanly routine. No only my legs but every strand of hair on my body. It feels lovely when completed and my self image is glamorous. One funny thing I have noticed is that the insulating property of body hair is significant. After I shave my leg and body hair I feel cooler and often pull on an additional tank top and leggings. Oh well. Northern Ohio winters can be overcome. Luv, Mary
I started shaving my legs last year. It was one of those things that after I did it, I wondered why I didn't do it sooner. I absolutely loved the feeling. When shorts season came around I felt a little self conscience but after a short time you realize no one really cares even my wife. The only person who said something was my therapist. I'm a bit of a hairy person. I found myself having to shave every 3 or 4 days, otherwise the stubble became too noticeable. Once the summer was over and I was back in long pants I bought an epilator. What a huge difference. There's a little bit of a learning curve but persistence pays off. I use it every 7 to 10 days and my legs stay consistently smooth without the stubble. I've been slowly expanding to other parts of my body.
If you are looking for advice .... As long as your SO doesn't have any issues with you shaving, you might want to try it for a while. The worst that can happen is you don't like it and you let it grow back.
Have fun!

Give it a try for sure! The cool thing about shaving is, if you do not like it, just let it grow back. Whereas some enhancements are a one-way street. Such as piercings, implants, tattoos.
I shave from head to toe every time I shower, then moisturize. It makes wearing really soft clothing even more enjoyable.
I parfait to use hair removal cream it leaves your legs real smooth and then I use a lotion to reduce the growth shaving left me itchy and takes to long love my smooth legs💋
Definitely shave your legs. Everyone should try it at least once or twice. I have been epilating my for a few years and love the feel and look. Nothing better than the feel of soft smooth legs.
Maybe you should, but once El Covida has ended if you can afford it you should get an esthetician to shave them.
I get free treatments at a spa of a friend and I often get a leg shave with my back wax. It's way more than foam and razor...no, no, no....I get a massage prep with some exfoliation. Girlie sweet shave gel with every rogue bristle and hair being sliced to submission in places I've never seen without a mirror!. Then there are warm steamed towels and a girlie sweet smelling lotion.....
I shave daily without any itch/stubble. Use baby oil, shave, scrub w an exfoliating cleanser, then moisturize.
Most definitely, can't tell you how it feels to pull stockings onto shaved legs... Once you start you will not stop
I use hair conditioner, as I think it softens the hairs, but you must moisturise after ..... xxx
Hi Katie
I shave from head to toe every time I shower, basically every day now I’m at home furloughed, I shave because I just love my skin to be silky smooth the feeling is so nice, It’s part of my morning ritual and I love doing it, it really makes me feel so feminine.
once you start you won’t stop...
