I like to see a girl with a little fuzz under her arms! Its usually very attractive, and almost always means they could care less what society deems - two of my fave things there! Lots of folks are razor happy these days, and its a holdover from the Romans, who felt that unshaved people were barbarians - guess those old ideas die hard, thats been a looooong time ago!
I don't see the point in shaving, men doesn't have to so why should women? Well, I do shave sometimes in the summer because it feels less hot if I do... I think But I agree, it's just another society-bullshit to shave to be beautiful.
My little brother's friend shaves. I don't. Boys shaving is doubley hilarious to me for some reason... especially me being a fuzzy. I've also seen dudes that shaved their arms. Weirdness. Oh well though, it's their bodies, I can dig that. I just figure who gives a who-ha. I also don't get the "hygiene" excuse. Just take a shower, gyah.
haven't shaved my pits on over 15 years and i really groove on em! but definitely do whatever works for you, as that's what's most important
I shave daily. I don't like the unshaven look. I thinks it's rather nasty looking. But, to each his own.
Good on you Psychadelic Goddess- furry pits on a natural woman is for me one of the most beautiful erotic things going! Each to their own as I know many (guys + gals) find them unattractive, whereas to me shaved are just boring + sexless!
I usually opt not to shave. Sometimes I do a little, but usually not. Here's what I have to do in order to shave. Wait until entire family, husband, No 1 DD, No 2 DD, No 1 Son, No 3 DD are done in bathroom and gone for the day, or at least out of my way. (this may not occur on most days) Time frame, up to 3 days Get the hell outta the chair I am reading in, the chair I am online in, or the kitchen I am cooking in Time frame several hours Get clean clothes, Time frame: anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour Enter bathroom. Gag, because someone (DH,? no 1 son?) didn't flush toilet, THEN flush toilet, clean toilet, turn on fan, recover from gagging attack, lie down for a while Time frame about an hour Find clothes again Time frame who the fuck knows Trepititously, pull aside shower curtain Time frame, up to 10 minutes, especially if I have been reading Stephen King or there is a weird Puberty Odor emitting from behind shower curtian OMG WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT???????? (this may end the adventure completely) Find Mr Clean NonLatex Cleaning Gloves and C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-y pick up the WTFIT item. (What the fuck IS that?) Time frame, could be long Identify item. Is that a GYM SOCK, soaking wet, in the drain? WHY? Realize that someone (*cough*No 1 Son *cough*) used a gym sock as a WASH CLOTH due to inability to open Linen Cabinette Door and find real wash cloth. Then threw in into the bottom of the tub, allowing NO dirty water to exit the tub. Hey, at least I know he showered today. Time frame: aboug 6 minutes, then more time to remove sock and more to drain tub maybe 20 minutes IF an other gagging attack does not ensue Clean the fuckin tub Time frame 10 minutes Turn on water (Oh c'mon, you know how long it takes to turn on water) Attempt to locate razor. WHERE is my razor? Did one of the two teen dds take it? I'll be VERY upset. No, it has MAN HAIR ON IT, it's a freakin INTUITION razor. I let him use it ONCE when we were out of town, to trim his GoeTee (sp) now, he has taken it over? It's a chick razor. mmmm built in shaving soap....that must be it.....eeyewee. Does he have any idea what I DO what that? Time frame: Heaven can only know. Realize that Intuition razor (that I got in the mail for free) has not only rusted, but ALL the soap on the blade guard has melted from MAN using it. I have no more blades as they are too expensive and just take a 5 minute shower then do the laundry Time to recover: the rest of the day Time to go hairy........PRICELESS................
To Fuzz or not to Fuzz For many women, the question of removing body hair will be answered by their community. For women who wish to consciously reject their community, the response can be daunting. In the United States, not shaving is met with revulsion by the majority of the populace. Here is my view of the question to shave or not to shave. Remember, this is humor. Like all humor, there is a grain of truth within the layers. Reasons for smooth pits 1. It fits your personal style 2. Your sig O has a definite view of smooth 3. You work in an office and you wear sleeveless shirts 4. You are a model 5. You are a swimmer 6. You are a drag queen 7. You have had chemo 8. You have not hit puberty Reasons for fuzzy pits 1. It fits your personal style 2. Your sig O has a definite view of fuzz 3. You wear sleeves/ your boss doesn't care (you lucky dog) 4. You are harbouring stowaway hamsters under your arms 5. You have hit puberty 6. You think fuzz is better than shaving rash (ouch!) 7. You want the creepy yuppie guy at the show to leave you ALONE (it works, but you have to raise those arms, Sista) 8. Hair holds patchouli scent better than skin
I've always shaved my armpits but lately i've been thinking about letting them grow. I think i will give it a go to see if i like it more than shaving. The only thing i'm worries about is smelling!
There's no reason why you should smell more with hairy pits than shaved provided you shower regularly. Most guys don't shave them + in most cases (yes there are some smelly guys- but not because of hairy pits) they don't smell too bad + still attract others. Only problem is initial growing out phase which can be itchy+uncomfortable as stubble grows, but once it reaches certain length the hair is nice + soft + no longer a problem. Some women just trim their pits when hair gets very long, whereas most non-shavers probably just leave it. Probably best to start growing it out now as winter sets in as 1) you shouldn't be sweating as much+ 2) less people will notice as you'll be wearing more clothing + gives you chance to get used to your fur. Hopefully you'll love your pit hair, but if it's not for you, you can shave again- at least experiment so you've tried it both ways.
I can't wait till winter rolls around next year cause i'm definetly going to let them grow! The only thing is that i don't think my boyfriend is going to be too fond of it. I'll still do it anyway because it's my body but i just don't want him to be completely disgusted by it.
i find i stink worse when i shave.. having fuzzy armpits traps in the good smells. haha i really enjoy showers too without having to take care of the chore of shaving..
I have a friend who had breast cancer, and had chemo. When we were talking about her hair falling out (she is Italian, like me, and quite hairy) she said, "Every freaking hair on my head fell out. Yet, every fucking hair on my arms, arm pits and legs is still there!" Then she gave me a warning about shaving and introducing pathogens into your lymph nodes that could actually be a link to cancer. She was a once a day or more shaver, and she hasn't shaved since she was diagnosed.......
