Recently, the blogs have been buzzing about a particularly hair-raising subject. Model Natalia Vodianova recently stepped out at a party in London wearing a stunning gold dress that featured an up-to-there slit. So, what’s the big deal? The Russian beauty didn’t shave her legs before the big event.

And while some critics are celebrating her for her free-spirited appearance, others came down hard on Vodianova. StyleList.com called her look “a total buzzkill.”

Of course, ladies don’t have to shave their legs before sporting an ensemble that bares their gams, but many gals may prefer smooth stems. Luckily, there are a plethora of products available to help women achieve silky, hair-free legs.

Moom Organic Hair Removal Kit enables women to wax away unwanted hair quickly and easily as the product gently conditions skin. Ladies who prefer shaving should use a rich lotion, such as Whish Shave Crave Shave Cream, which soothes and moisturizes skin.

Those who use depilatories may want to stock up on Sothys Thalassothys Softening Post-Depilatory Care, a cream that is formulated to slow hair growth between removals.
