Nair apparent; or, let’s get those children shaving!

The New York Times published a story about new hair removal (sorry, “skin smoothing”) products aimed at the under-15 market. Nair has a new product called Nair Pretty for all those youngsters worried about their stubble.

Let’s be transparent, this is simply about expanding their market & earning more money. I wonder if it is possible for us to have dialogues with our daughters and with each other about the necessity of teaching young girls that the hair that grows on their legs naturally is somehow disgusting. Silly question, maybe, but how come there ain’t a product like this for men? They tend to have quite a bit more body hair, after all…ew, stubbly. ;P
