If your mother doesn't buy shaving cream then lather up your legs with lots and lots of soap then shave. I use shampoo when I run out of shaving cream though and it makes my legs soft and smell nice, so you could do that too.
But I think you should go ahead and tell your mom that you're ready to start shaving (that you already have) and she'll be more open to the idea than you think she will. I know it seems like a big deal right now, but when you talk to her about it I'm pretty sure she'll be fine. Have fun shaving, you'll hate it as you get older, lol.
Okay, now about your period. I'm guessing your pretty young.. 12-14? All girls start their periods at different ages. Some at 12 some even as late as 16 or 17. So don't worry about it now, there's nothing you can do to make your period come faster, it'll come when it's time. Enjoy your period-free years now, because like shaving, you'll hate it when you get older. It gets old real fast!

If you want to shave and you fell you need to, tell your mom that you feel embarassed not being able too and you feel too hairy, adn she will understand. Another great thing is nair, its creme hair remover you put on your legs for around 4 minutes and then wash off and your hair is gone, it lasts for alot longer than shaving and maybe your mom would prefer that. Bring up both of these options to her and good luck!:) [ sam_lost's advice column | Ask sam_lost A Question ]
