Hey, this is a question for the ladies (and maybe some guys too.) Kind of a gross topic, I apologize.
Does anyone shave while they're down in 'Roo? Part of me just say's f-k it, who cares, it's only 6 days (wed-mon.) The other part of me says that the 5 people I'm with might not want to see my Eastern European unshaven legs/underarms.
Do most of you chickies just wait until you get home? I was thinking maybe bringing one of those Shick Intuition and see where it goes from there.
Past two years have not shaved - other then a quick swipe at the underarms - like aliebleu said - you get so dirty - no one would tell if it was stubble or grime
But I am fair skinned with blond hair on my legs - so what do I know???

I'm shaving literally right before we leave on Wednesday night, and then I'm not really worrying about it.
I'll have lotion and stuff to keep me moisturized, and I'll just be a tad prickly by the time Monday rolls around. Not too bad.
A friend of mine that's going has a bet not to shave his beard until Roo, so as soon as we get to Centeroo I'm bringing him the the shave tent lol! Pictures will ensue.

I gave my legs a quick swipe last year...I'm a really hairy chica, so it was bugging me. And I don't remember but I'm sure that means I must have tried to shave my pits at some point too. Basically do whatever you want to do, nobody else will care if you're hairy but if it bugs you then do it.
I think I shaved once last year. Being self-conscious, I used a cup of water and gel in my tent. This year, I've started epilating, so hopefully I won't have to worry about it.
Ha, if I didn't think she'd kill me for posting it, I have this great pic of a friend last year, hungover as quack, smoking a cigarette and shaving her legs in our camp cooking pot (ewww!).
Oh, and to answer the original question, I get one good shower and shave in the night before and say fuck it for the rest of the time. I think I also showered once last year, but didn't shave. That first post fest shower is fucking amazing!
Ladies... GUYS DON"T CARE! any guy worth his salt wont care if your prickly-like. It's bonnaroo, be natural! I understand that girls don't shave just for us, but still, if you cant minimize your routine for b'roo, the you may be a bit too high maintenance for this festival

As much as I just love being called high maintenance I have been going to roo for years and I have been shaving at roo for years. I hardly think it is excessive to want to shave whether you give a quack about somone else seeing stubble or not.
I camp and backpack and shave. It's amazing!
So for the "high maintenance" ladies out there use your hair conditioner, just put some on your legs like lotion, shave and then use a baby wipe to rub down your leg. It takes all of five minutes and your legs are super soft!

Me too. I have light leg hair but I will be shaving the underarms!
Last year I'm pretty sure I shaved with bottled water and soap and it wasn't too tricky but I can't remember. We have a shower tent this year but I will probably still shave sittin' in a camping chair so we don't use up our camp shower water. The grime of Roo does cover up stubble but if yours grows fast & makes you uncomfy like me, I don't think its high maintenance whatsoever to do what keeps you comfy. Boys put Goldbond on their peepees, girls shave
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo
For the record, I'm rather low maintenance and didn't really give a quack if others saw my stubble. It just got uncomfortable, and for some reason I felt cooler after shaving.
Yea, totally not high maintenance. I shaved last year, used the conditioner trick mentioned above. After a frigid trough wash and comb, a quick shave, I was ready to party down. I did not mess with makeup much however, too damn hot.
I'm a low maintenance girl, but I'm Italian - so my pits and legs get 5 o' clock shadows and afropuffs by the next morning. I need to shave. I'll do it with a little bit of water and soap. Quick quick quick like a ninja.
