General

I personally like a smooth belly, but I am quite tolerable for a belly that has a little bit of hair here and there. 👍

I prefer smooth bellies, but some hair is fine too.

I really prefer smooth, hair distracts from the beautiful fat

I prefer a smooth belly but I've been known to enjoy a bit of fuzz

I like my belly being hairy. It feels great rubbing my belly and feeling my hair lol.

Smooth.

I’m a pretty hairy guy but one thing I notice as I put on weight is that the surface area of my body expands my hair doesn’t keep up as fast so I have areas where I’ve grown that are fleshy and smooth and older areas covered in hair. I will never shave my body hair that’s for certain it would be to much maintaince and also when you shave hair comes back thicker and denser

Fun fact! Shaving does not make your hair thicker or denser. Instead, the way your hair is cut gives the illusion that it's thicker and denser.

Normally, your hair tapers off towards the ends. Like so:

However, when you shave, you cut the hair where it is thickest. So, when it grows, it appears thicker:



That said, over time, normal wear and tear on your hair will give it that tapered look again.

Thanks for posting that xD

Also something i was thinking:

Humans have a set amount (number) of hair. It doesn't change (at least not noticeably) with age or size. So that means that if their length remains more or less the same, then when the skin (that has a set number of them anyway) stretches, expands, the density of the hair drops a lot. So the bigger a belly gets, the less hairy it will look as it grows!

This is mostly correct. It is possible (common, even) to lose body hair with age. This is usually a sign of poor circulation or hormonal imbalance.

It's also possible to gain unwanted body hair as you gain due to hormonal imbalances. It doesn't change the number of follicles, but it makes the hair thicker and longer.

But yes. As your skin expands the less dense your body hair becomes.
