Okay, this question is much more lighthearted than what you normally see on here, and maybe we all need that considering how heavy some of the topics are, but I am serious none the less.

My physical therapist wants to tape my knees because they "ain't been actin' right." To get that tape to stick, he told me to shave my knees. But that looks so dumb to have just bald knees, especially when I'm running around there with shorts to get therapy done. What do I do?

a) Just shave the knees.

b) Shave my legs in their entirety

c) Why stop there? Shave my whole body...including "what's down there."

d) Keep going and shave my head too!

e) Other: ___________________

Yes, I feel like an idiot asking this, maybe even sort of "metro," but I need to know what you think, both men and women, what is your take?

I reckon you should just shave your knees! If they are gonna be taped up when you're playing sport then nobody will notice anyway. And Im sure people will understand if you tell them its for therapy reasons.

Shaving your legs is a pain in the butt, so stick to the knees and just wear long pants when you're not training!!

Shave both your whole legs. If anyone looks and asks, tell them you're a competition level track cyclist! Women loved my shaved legs when I was racing cometitively back in those days. ;-)

Hmmm... im not sure you're considering the whole regrowth aspect here.. it's gonna be itchy.. it's gonna be irritating ... and it's gonna happen every few days. Do you really want that hassle? It's not gonna be *that* noticebale if your knees are less hairy.. unless your leg hair is carpet like. I say shave the knees and only the knees :)

YummyMummy agony auntI would say whatever you feel comfortable with shaving off. I agree just your knees would look a little silly, so why not do just your legs.

Are you all over a very hairy person? Would having bald legs for a little while look silly if you have a very hairy back/chest/whatever.
