Hairy armpits

[Yu_Gi_Oh]

I know, I was quite offended at being thought of as disgusting, minging, vile etc...

I wash every day, I wear make up and do my hair - it's not like I have not shaving has turned me into a filthy slob.

Even if you didn't wear make up and do your hair, you wouldn't be a filthy slob, IMO.

That documentary was quite reactionary and annoyed me a bit with all the horror and surprise that some women don't shave, it's not that big a deal really.

Personally I do shave my armpits but not with any real regularity unless it's summer.
This summer I did consider not shaving them and tried for a week or so but I want my students to be looking at me, not my armpits.

Armpit hair is there for a reason (or three) - it's best left.

Nose hair on the other hand .....

 

[girasol]

I wax them every now and then, the rest of the time its hairy.

same here

 

[Stobart Stopper]

Yuck! The thought of having hairy armpits makes me feel sick, same as having a big hairy bush.

I'm also interested if any men shave their pits - I used to go out with someone who did, and I didn't much like it.

Either shave completely or trim it very short, especially if I'm doing a lot of sport - it looks and feels better.

 

[sojourner]

Used to shave, for years, the bloody lot

Stopped about 5 years ago, and never looked back. I like my hairy armpits, legs, and bits. Saves me a fuckload of time, razors, shaving gel, and being-arsed-ness

 

[felixthecat]

for myself - shaved cos I like the feel of it.
for anyone else - whatsoever they please and feels good to them.

Its a personal preference and that makes it no-one elses business.

I shave my legs if anyone is going to see them. Don't bother shaving my armpits though, and no-one other than my mum and sister has ever told me it looks disgusting.

Exactly !







do find the reactions of disgust strange though !

 

[gentlegreen]

If you shave yer armpits, don't your arms stick to your torso when you sweat ?

 

[mentalchik]

Nope

I have clothes on most of the time !

 

[felixthecat]

So do I. I knew someone who was like that with painted toenails tho - thought that unpainted ones were just disgusting.........weird.

 

[sojourner]

my daughter was completely disgusted with me for a couple of years after I took up hirsuteness

She's fine with it now Means I can stretch out on the couch in me boxers and not get shouts of 'oh muuum, ewwww'

 

[gentlegreen]

Nope

I have clothes on most of the time !

You mean you wear skin-hugging combinations ?

 

[marty21]

don't shave mine, and it's a real pity that women do shave theirs

 

[mentalchik]

You mean you wear skin-hugging combinations ?

No, i'm not wearing anything skin hugging at the mo but my inner arms are not sticking to my torso coz it's covered !

 

[marty21]

I find women with hairy armpits quite sexy

aye!!

 

[geminisnake]

I shave my underarms and legs most days. Just 'feels' nicer imo.

I'm starting to worry you have some ocd thing going on with ironing and shaving

Armpits get shaved if I'm wearing a vest or sleeveless T, can't be bothered otherwise.

I will be epilating my legs occasionally during the winter this year coz it was a bit sore when I started again this year.

are you saying that hairy pits and bush is a good thing?

cos that's what i'm saying

lets hear it for hair!

when I've shaved/trimmed my bush too close (v rare as its a big job) I lost sexual sensitivity so i reckon its there for a reason and i leave it be

 

[maya]

I never had much hair anyway, and used to just leave it- But the moment I started shaving, I found that when it grew back it had grown a bit more hairier than it was before- So now I have to shave for my own well-being, although I curse ever having been near a razor, I used to be perfectly fine and smooth from birth and should have staid that way...
Capitalist bodyguilt commercials and misogynistic beauty ideals are to blame!

Yes

That is what I am saying

I do make more work for myself don't I?

But it's what I'm comfortable with and it doesn't hurt anyone else.

Mind you, if I didn't shave my legs I might have time to put make up on in the mornings.

I don't worry about what Pig thinks, even if he liked a hairy bush I would still get it waxed.
It's personal choice, I work out 4 times a week and would find it uncomfortable if I had a hairy, sweaty bush. Yuck!

Okay

So what drives your choice? And why do you think a hairy sweaty bush is yuck?
