Current Events > Armpits, and the hair in them...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Do you shave or trim your armpits, or let them grow? And why or why not?

Personally, I just let them grow. And personally, I like it when guys let them grow, as I think its hot. Though, I know many people do like hair at all. So, what about you all?

I don't save the hair no

A kink too far

But theres so much you can use it for To spice things up, as they say

Ive never shaved anything other than my face

Trim shorter when it sticks out too much. Like sure it's hot on other dudes, but I get insecure when mine's too wild.

Thats the same as me I only shave my face. And the only reason J do that is because of my job

Mine never gets way too long there, so I havent had to worry about it. That said, I dont usually wear anything that would show it off like tank-tops. It might show somewhat if Im shirtless, but that makes sense, so

I wear tanks all the time in summer. Basically as long as it doesn't stick out when my arms are down, idc. But even then I'm pretty lax about it. I just deal with it when it occurs to me lol.

I guess I'm lucky, I never had much body hair and my armpits is one place where it never grew.
Now if only my forearms were like that, and why is it so much thicker at my wrists?

I shave my underarms. I have a (probably clinical) sweating problem and shaving plus extra strength deodorant is the only thing that seems to even slightly help.

Yes, I've tried growing it out. I sweat. Like crazy.

I don't mind though. If I could be hairless from the nose down, I'd be pretty happy.

i just let it grow. it only gets so long.

Only if the hair becomes annoying like with regards to deodorant then I'll shave them off.

So, its more for hygiene in your case? Though, it seems like hair is more of a hassle for you, too

Yeah. Mine seem to stop at a certain length

So, only when the deodorant stops working? As long as it keeps working, you just leave it alone?

Shave every so often so its never long, at most a lil stubble.

I personally dont think it looks good on guys when its long. It looks kinda gross to me.

But other than just the look of it I do it mostly for hygiene purposes. Dont like the idea of sweat and dirt getting trapped in the hair.

I never gave any thought to my armpits since I made fart noises with them when I was like 9

Now it's more of if the deodorant pulls on the hair and feels sticky and yucky. If that happens then I just shave it off.

How often do you have to shave to keep it short, but while also not uncomfortable?

And I know for many, it looks gross. But I love it. For some reason, I find it so hot when I see it on guys Though, I sometimes like the hairy ones, as well

Oh I know that feeling That doesnt feel good at all

I just let mine grow. I find armpit hair on women sexy. But I hate it when it gets stuck in my teeth.

That can be quite the predicament, tbh

I had to have my armpits removed because of recurring cysts. Hidradenitis suppurativa they call it.
I have no hair to grow there. Really gnarly scars.

Bro I am the reincarnation of Sasquatch when it comes to body hair. I regularly remove all of it because nobody likes that, not even me. Naturally I give my pits a shave too.

Sorta. I don't like the feeling of hair snagging on clothing. I actually kinda generally don't enjoy the sensation of clothing on my skin, so I wear baggy stuff. I must look an absolute sight in my 2XL shirts and cargo shorts, but it's comfortable.

I have to argue with the voice in my head telling me to shave my head on a daily basis.

I trim it when it starts overgrowing a short sleeve.

Some people really do like it. Im like more of a moderately hairy tk heavy hairy guy. Though, your sounds even hairier

Baggier clothes is definitely more comfortable. I dont wear stuff to baggy, but I do have a problem with the stuff that fits too tight. Even fitting well doesnt exactly feel good, tbh

Oh. Like if its visible while wearing short sleeve shirts?

I used to shave my pits and have my back and chest waxed when I was doing sports properly. Havent done for almost a decade.

So, for you, you do it specifically for sports? Or started it when doing sports, and ended up liking it more? It is due to you liking the feeling better?

i shave my face because i dont like the feeling of a beard and mustache. my work wouldnt care about it. but yeah, maybe I could just grow a beard and mustache and never shave again

My job is starting to ease up a bit, but still dont like it. I almost never notice in day to day life, though. I usually forget I havent have unless touching my face with my hands. Or if my chin rubs on something But I forget frequently

Nah. I barely have hair in that area. I actually forgot there is supposed to be hair there wtf

I remove all hair on my body except on my face.

Haha. Do you forget just because you barely have hair there?

Thats like the opposite of me. I only remove hairs from my face I dont like how Id look completely shaved Plus, I usually dont like it as much on other guys, as well

Do you do that for how it looks, or for how it feels? Or both?

i rip it out thanks to trichotillomania

all hair, causes a mad itch that shaving doesnt satisfy

I did it because thats what all the other athletes were doing at the time and Im easily led. When I stopped doing major competitions I stopped getting rid of the hair.

I shave my armpits like once a year as soon as summer starts.

More or less getting ready for the pool season, and that's it.

How long does it usually grow throughout the year?

I never usually touch my armpit hair but did think it was too wild lookin lately so I took my beard trimmer, put one of the heads meant more for reg hair and trimmed em.

I shave em sometimes.

LinkPizza posted...

Not that long.

But my hairgrowth outside of the top of my head is pretty sparse (could not grow a beard if my life depent on it), and that's also true for my arms, so my "troubles" may be far below (male) average.

LinkPizza posted...

Mostly how it feels, but it does look a lot better when I don't have a hairy body. It's more comfortable for me to not have any body hair and it only costs me a few hours of my time once a month to get waxed.

Do you think itll become a regular thing? Or more like a once in a while thing?

Its not really a problem. Some people just arent as hairy

I have a small frame, so if I ever went completely hairless, Id probably look like a child. Haha. But the hair does help me feel a little more confident. But its definitely different for each person

LinkPizza posted...

Both ways is fine. Its no routine, just do it irregulary when I feel like it, my man dont like body hair so O do it mostly for him, but I wont shave everything on my body. Usually shave armpits when I shave chest hair. Im not that hairy to begin with.

I barely have any body hair to begin with, so I never have to shave. One perk for being asian I guess.

I already pretty hairy. Though it works because my BF likes it. Which is good because Im not sure how much Id shave off for him, since I still have to like myself in the end Luckily, I dont have to
