Leg shaving with extra skin???
Okay - don't know which forum would be better so if there's a better one please re-direct me!
I have a good deal of thigh skin..doesnt bother me because it's all inner thigh and up close to the bikini area but there's ALOT of it. doesnt show with clothing etc so wont need to get it removed any time soon. My question is though...is there any easier way to shave the upper leg other than just pulling the skin out with one hand and shaving with the other??
Note: creams, lotions and lazers are a no no due to super sensitive skin & allergies

For my bikini area, I do move the skin with one hand and shave with the other. I don't have hardly any hair above the knees so I do not shave my upper legs. I hope someone here has some other advice for you!!
I need an inner thigh lift but also hide it well with clothes, so I don't think I'll ever get it done. I hate recovering from surgery. I went a bit stir crazy this summer and it was not fun for me!!

This reminds me of the time I asked a guy how men are able to shave their balls. They're so wrinkly and delicate. He said, they just pull the skin around with one hand and shave very very carefully! Haha. My wrinkly skin on my inner thighs is very similar unfortunately, very wobbly and thin. I almost never bother shaving above the knee, unless I know I'm gonna wear a short dress (rare). But when I do, yep, I just pull the skin flat like a slab of pork and work with it.

Don't EVER try to get a waxing: I was red and then black and blue from the pulling of the loose skin when I thought I'd get it done before going to Hawaii.
I use Nair once in awhile, which I read you can't use and then in between times I use a safety razor and pull with one hand and shave with the other.
I know I also won't get the LBL or legs worked on. I've had an extended TT and arm lift so I'm happy I don't need DH to hold my armpits when I shave any longer. The legs saggy and baggy as is I can deal with. I'm diabetic and really don't want to risk any possible infections in the groin and upper leg area. The arm lift was more than enough for me. The TT was relatively easy.
Hope this helps.
