What should I do about my girlfriend’s hairy feet?
My girlfriend is a perfect 10 in every way imaginable, except one — she has hairy feet! I’m not talking about those cute, soft and small hairs that some women have on their toes… Her feet are Bigfoot hairy! When she wears clogs it looks like there are two shag rugs spilling out of them.
It didn’t bother me that much initially, but now that we are intimate I find them incredibly distracting. I’m afraid asking her to shave would hurt her feelings. One more than one occasion I have thought about secretly applying a hair removal product to her feet when she sleeps, but what if she is allergic to it? I wouldn’t want to her to get a rash, or go in to septic shock or something like that.

No, asking her to shave is not a good idea at all. You risk ruining the trust and acceptance you have built up in your relationship. It might just damage it to a degree where it can’t be repaired.
If it’s not a problem for her, it doesn’t have to be one for you either. We all have our unique traits, and learning to accept them is what makes a relationship stronger.
Instead of thinking about how you can have the hair removed, perhaps you should think about how you can make her feet easier for you to handle? I can think about a few things:
- Some nice braids will turn any kind of hair in to something feminine. You might have to help her, as braiding your own feet is not that easy unless you are extremely flexible.
- A permanent will turn even the frizziest hair soft, curly and attractive. They might be more appealing to you if they weren’t shaggy looking?
- You can have a lot of fun with colour! Turning her hairy feet in to “punk” or matching them to hair on her head might make them more a fashion statement than a distraction.
- Combing all the hair over to one side of the foot will probably also make them look more attractive. I can see her barefoot on the beach with the hair blowing in the wind, and it doesn’t look bad at all in my mind!
- A lot of hair gel on her feet and pulling all the hair back towards the ankles, might make the hair look like a pair socks instead. Especially if combined with a bright colour!
