Armpit hair... what a dilemma!
This is easy... we are animals, we are mammals, we are hairy by nature and armpit hair is there for 2 reasons: 1.- To reduce friction as arms are mostly down. 2.- To catch sweat which contains feromones ( stuff detected by brain only). This point has a sexual attraction to the opposite sex. Everyone has an unique and particular smell. Now, having it or not is up to you ppl! Personally, I'm ok with it!... make your choice!

I think armpit hair is great, I mean look at it - it's lovely and soft and fuzzy, and nothing looks cooler than dying your armpit hair bright blue! :o) Seriously, there is no reason to shave your armpit hair, it is just another part of your body that you are *expected* to shave purely because you are a girl, it is just a stupid sexist double standard.

There is nothing gross about it, as long as you are clean there is no bad smell, certainly if you don't shave there is no ugly stubble or cuts! Also, a lot of girls are too scared to go without shaving in case a boy does not want them - who on earth wants a boy who won't love you just because you have normal body hair!!?

If you got the balls girl: Do it.
I don't like it on me, but if a girl does , hey go girl go, men on the other hand , should keep their underarm hair and all there other hair for that matter, if they don't it just isn't as masculine or attractive to me.

I honestly shave it off; but only when I'm going to wear something that shows my armpits. Otherwise I let it grow. I completely respect girls and women who chose not to. I am brave enough to not shave my legs, and I applaud those brave enough to not shave their armpits. I find armpit hair very sexy on the male species, I feel the same way about chest hair. Makes them seem a lot more manly then if they were bare.

like it sometimes
armpit hair is sometimes cool on guys,it makes me know that they a growing up,especailly about ages 13,14 and so on.I hate to see huge armpit hair on boys,it looks like a forest,and i usually think of cutting it with a weediter. OMG!!! armpit hair on girls,thats disgusting,well if u are a tom boy,well aight,but girls with armpit hair,that is too scary.gross!!!
--Posted by cupcake90




I feel the same about armpit hair as I do leg hair. If you are just shaving it to please other people, that's not cool but if you just don't like it then all the power to you. I think that women with armpit hair are just as beautiful as they are without it.

I shave everything except for my armpits, because I only get B.O. when I DO shave! I hate when I have to shave my armpits, because they get stubbly and itchy and gross. When I shave my legs and such, they're smooth, but my armpits-- ick! I like them much better with hair, and my boyfriend likes them either way. Why should I shave them?
--Posted by agnosticagnes




I like my armpit hair where it is thank you very much. I also like my pubis hair where it is too. I do shave my legs because I like the smoothy smooth feeling. And no I'm not some ugly ass chick who can't get a date. Being comfortable with myself is what the guys in my life find attractive. And I'm comfortable with my hairy pitts.
