Men: do you shave your armpits?

Hello male species. Do you shave your armpits? I do it because hair on them annoys me. I'm kind of hairy everywhere else though, besides the pubic area of course.

Yes. 44
No. 59
Sometimes. 29
I'm going to start. 5
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • I don't shave them, but I do trim them as well as my pubes. I don't like the hairs to be too long. Just neat and trimmed.

    From a girl's perspective, I think it's a bit feminine for a guy to completely shave his armpits, unless he's ripped and shaves/waxes his chest too.. Whatever you do it has to match, trim if you trim your chest hair, leave it if you leave everything else (pubic region is a whole other thing btw.. although if you have a particularly hairy torso, shaving probably isn't a good look either)

    • Eh I do it for myself. They just bother me. By hairy I meant my arms and legs are...not torso.. I do have a happy trail though which I'm not completely sure if girls fancy or not.

        If a guy shaves wherever he wants regardless of it being the "norm", I'd love him even more, because I'd want him to be as comfortable and as happy with himself as possible. Keep doing what you like :)

  • Shaving of the underarms is a good grooming habit. I recommend it to everyone regardless of gender.

    Yeah. When it gets too long I trim it off.

    Some do, some don't. I don't think it really matters as long as they're happy. I think it's kind of cool to see it on straight men though as they put in an effort to look more clean-cut. My fiancé doesn't shave his armpits but he barely has any hair there, thankfully. :)

    Can't believe that most of you don't shave your armpits.

    Trimming keeps the stench at bay

    Nah. I only shave my face. I trim my underarm hair a little because I don't like it more than an inch long, but I don't want to shave it.

    Never in my life have I gotten the inclination to shave my armpits. A few times when i'm super drunk I've decided to shave my pelvic region or entire body, but that never included shaving or even trimming my arm pit hairs.

    I just don't like body hair. I started shaving a number of years ago, got tired of it, tried epilating... painful at first, but gets better when you get used to it. However, now I almost never have to shave any more all underarm hair is gone! Used home IPL product and it worked great. So much cleaner and it is easier to apply antiperspirant. I have also noticed I smell much cleaner even after sweating without the hair. I can't stand seeing guys with long underarm hair hanging out from T-Shirts and such at sporting events and such. So gross.

    • I want to but it's extremely hard and I don't know how to.

    Sometimes I cut them about half way, feels cleaner to get rid of the sweaty hair. I wouldn't shave them because it would itch growing back.

    Armpit hair turns me on something crazy. Unfortunately, my fiance is in there shaving his for a drag performance. I told him the next time he does drag, he's going as Amanda Palmer.

    How to use Is It Normal?:

    1. Pose a question in the form "I do X, is it normal?"
    2. Allow users to choose "yes, it's normal" or "no, it's not normal" (the default options).
    3. Don't be a fruitcake and make redundant polls.

    THANKS

    I trim them back a lot along with all my other body hair. I like them that way.

    When I was in high school I shaved all my body hair. No, I wasn't a freak. I was a SCUBA diver, and wet suits in those days would rip the hair right out by the roots.
    I took a lot of flack from the "cool" kids, but I made about $50 a boat (or $350.00 in today's money) for a couple hours work, cleaning the bottoms of yachts in the marinas, so the joke was on them.
