I never shave my armpits and im a girl

Hot

I only shave when I wear a sleeveless formal. Hair just looks weird with a frilly dress you know?

Underarm hair has a very similar purpose to pubic hair. It protects your skin from irritation in a high-friction area and provides a barrier against bacteria and fungus growing in the warm, moist environment that is your armpit. You know how a lot of bare pits start turning yellow? Yeah, that's a fungal infection. Pretty gross, right? And don't even get me started on ingrown hairs. Ouch.

My point is, why spend your time and energy worrying about being hairless when you could be doing something more productive? It's a silly double-standard that society imposes upon us. Don't worry about what others think. You just do what you feel comfortable doing.

I would first like to point out the fact that nearly everybody who made comments displaying intense "disgust" and ignorance on this topic, don't seem to be able to spell or write right. Careful who you listen to - that's all I'm saying.

Anyway, if you choose not to shave your pits, you aren't alone. And there ARE men out there who DON'T CARE. I have been with two guys in the past who couldn't give a rat's arse what's under my pits. I don't shave because I think it's incredibly unsafe to take a shower and shave your pits, opening up those pores and creating small cuts on sensitive skin, then applying deodorant with all kinds of chemicals and whatever else onto that skin. I refuse to poison myself because it's "the thing to do nowadays" or because some guy finds it more pleasant. And I just find it bothersome - nuff said.

I used to shave everyday but when I became a mother I only have time to shave like once a week maybe. My hunny loves me for who I am tho and does not really care weather or not I shave.

The only reason women shave is because it's considered unattractive by the general public for a woman to appear unshaven, if you care about what people think about you then it's probably not the best idea as it isn't "normal" but to be honest you shouldn't give a fuck.

Of course it's normal and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. To be sure, I used to always shave, ever since being a teenager but I had the fortune of dating a guy who liked armpit hair, believe it or not. Not only that but he liked the more potent odor they produced if unshaven.

I was self-conscious about it at first but I've gotten used to it and realized i actually prefer it that way. Been a couple of years since we dated but I still don't shave.

I persuaded my girlfriend to let her armpit hair grow, but it wasn't easy. I sure do like it though! It's grown out a lot and it's very soft. Sometimes I like to fall asleep with my face there. It's up to you, but whatever you do, however you are, you'll find people who love you for it -- and others who dislike you for it.

LOTS OF SHALLOW PEOPLE GOING ON HERE^ (dont shave, just in spite of these dorks).

I love nice hairy armpits!! Let em grow!! Who started this shaving thing anyway. It's hard to find a woman with a nice bush these days.

There is nothing wrong with a little armpit hair. Look back at the hippies, never shaved and they were getting action all the time. The whole shaved thing is invented by the media to sell nair and all that crap.
Topic reminds me of a hobo girl I had a crush on when I was 18.... those were the days.

Do whatever you feel comfy with, but the very fact that youre asking such a question here is cause youre not so OK with it. With woman its generally considered a form of grooming for hygiene and good looks.With men its different,although the hygiene law still goes for them too, but not the "good look" law.
I dont shave i instead use the epilator cause most importantly the epilator removes the roots and shaving makes hair grow out too fast and not to mention it also leaves a "black area" under your arm(not talking about the natural dark skin some people have under their arms).Im just trying to say that you should use different methods of grooming maybe(shave,epilator,wax,laser for permenent eradication)...
Good luck and be happy with whatever you decide on!

Honestly that last woman I had *relations* with had kinda hairy pits, and to tell you the 100%% honest truth? her armpits where the last thing I was thinking about lol. A shallow dude might be totally put off, be warned.

Actually, the norm for having armpits shaven or unshaven varies in different countries. I've heard that in south america and in europe it's been more common to go with unshaven armpits

i wouldnt worry about it too much, your supposed to have body hair, if you werent it wouldnt grow on you right. and some guys realy dont care either way lol.

AS long as you feel comfortable and they don't smell really bad with the hair there - that's the reason why I shave my underarms because the hair holds smells that are better gone.

How much do you care if a man has a wild beard or shaves / grooms facial hair? Shaves his body hair and pits?

Depending on culture, people will not care or find it gross if you do not shave your pits. In Europe (at least when I lived there) no one cared either way. In America many do.

If it bothers someone you care about, make a trade ;-) I shaved a goatee for a women - it was worth it.

It's your body so do what you like - normal or not (as long as no one gets hurt)

depends how much u care about what other people think. and regardin men.....depends whther u want to find a man to suit you or change urself to suit a man.

I Think its sexy. ive seen many woman with hairy pits

No big deal. I don't for the most part either. Only when I'm going to where something sleeveless like a dress. Otherwise, I don't bother.

Sure, as long as they arnt THAT bad.

I'm a gay male. My feelings on the subject are, that if you feel more inclined to not shaving, then don't shave. Just be prepared that, if you are in public and somebody notices you may be ridiculed for it. Most women, from my understanding, don't like to shave. Many men hate to shave their face. It's just another part of life we have to deal with in some way or another.

I think it is really normal, and you should never shave. If some creep does not like it, tell him to shag himself. Don't worry about the advice from others about smell, real guys like smell. Don't listen to girls who have no real love life. send me your pics

Most guys do not really care. You would have to have some kind of hormone disorder to be able to grow an unnattractive amount of hair.

For the record, yes, I do shave my armpits. I can't stand not to, but I don't really give a damn if anyone else does.

i shave my armpits but if not shaving makes you happy then i dont see anything wrong with it

no idea how old you are, but if you're real young it may not have grown in dark/thick enough. there's no real reason to shave other than aesthetics, and odor. Having hair in your armpits will trap the odor and you will smell more "musky" than if they were shaved. People may make fun of you, but really that is their problem. If you don't care what people think ( and you shouldn't) then let it alone...it's normal to have underarm hair, abnormal to shave it.! ( I do shave mine)

Would that make you a girl-rilla? (Just joking - really its up to you).

You should stop shaving your legs, too.

lol that would actually not look nice!

I'm a dude...and I shave my entire body because I think body hair is disgusting on both genders...do what you want... But most dudes hate a hair chick

Depends on how much hair you have, if it isnt THAT much, then I'm sure its ok...

It's unattractive to me. Not sure about others.

to me it does seem a little weird but thats just me, I've heard of cases where heaps and heaps of woman hate shaving, its not as bad as some of these people make it sound

itll continue to grow... and im preety sure yew smell mamas ... my suggestion is to shave ... but hey i know a guy that likes hairy woman lol

It's okay. But it's just weird. I've grown up with girls who are supposed to keep armpits clear. It symbolizes cleanliness.

You don't have to though.
