Shaving Armpits

[gymangel812]

i'd like to wax but i don't want to grow the hair out. that hair grosses me out....

wax is way better than razor, i know it hurts but is worth the pain.. i did it for the first time two weeks ago and there was some hairs still there and i had my DH to tweeze them... lol.... still no hair.. its awesome.. dont have to shave everyday anymore..

If you can afford it, then laser hair removal is the way to go. I've had two sessions, and the hair is almost gone. I shave the rest away every three or four days.

An epilator works great!!

I don't find that waxing the underarms hurts at all. I don't like having to let the hair grow out though for the next wax so have been thinking more and more about laser hair removal.

I change razors about every five shaves. The sharper the better! I smear some Skintimate shaving gel, then shave up, down, left and right. Usually that will get rid of every hair there. I've never had a problem with ingrowns, though.

^^^^ agreed!! you need a sharp razor everytime!!

I suggest you either pluck yoru hairs (sounds painful but looks A LOT better) or just wax them. I really hate shaving because it grows back so fast and leaves those nasty bumps you speak of. waxing really does the job and leaves the skin really smooth.

I had the exact same problem where I would have stubble by the end of the day under my arms. I hated to wear any outfit that showed by armpits because I didn't want to expose the hairs. I decided to do laser hair removal on my bikini line and went ahead and did my underarms. It was such a great decision. I've had six treatments over 1.5 years and I only have a few light hairs. I would only need to shave about every 2 weeks (to just clean up) and my armpits are silky smooth. I love it.

I pluck them but my arm goes numb from lifting it up. I've been plucking for many years..it doesnt hurt so much now

Some of my family has had laser hair removal and it is worth every penny! My mom and my aunt had it done over a year aao and still no hair. Of course they had to go to a few session and then a touch up comming up after the first year.

I use a Braun Silk-Epil Epilator.

Once I started using this...no more dark shadows!

I had mine lasered. Best thing I ever did.

If i wasn't so freakin' ticklish i'd have 'em waxed or even tweeze them myself! Sigh I suppose i have to stick with shaving but wait...

^laser you say? Was it painful at all?

 

[nikitadb]

I pluck them. It hurts my neck though.

 

[la miss]

After reading this I want to try to laser too!

Sweetcakes, for me the pain was very mild and temporary. Just a small zap and slight warm sensation after the procedure that dissipated within an hour or so. I had no side effects and I can say that the money was so well spent. My DH loves how smooth my underarms are and I love not having to worry about shaving every day. If you can afford it, go for it (just find a reputable doctor to perform the service).
