Justpeachy02

I dated a woman that kept her armpits natural. Definitely wasn't an issue for me.

Could probably do it in the winter ah ha!! I know it's not, but i feel cleaner when I shave

Your body, your hair, your choice.

Don't care one way or the other; if you like what you see when you look in the mirror; if you're comfortable with yourself, that's the only opinion that matters.

Doesnt bother me but if i go 2 days without shaving i get a rash under my arms i have very sensitive skin in certain areas. But i domt shave down stairs if that counts and my husband dont mind.

It looks uncofortable like something you would constantly have to hide or somthing that you wouldnt necessaraly want to show im not sure

Just no. I mean yah I get the fact that its your body. Your choice.. But what wrong with a type of slight expectation? Like showering and deodorant.. Things like that shouldnt be a form of expression or rebellion. Use your brain and thoughts to free yourself but please take care of yourself. I may get hate for my opinion.. I truly dont mean harm and at the end of the day I wouldnt treat anyone bad for it but its just my 2 cents.

I shave my armpits irregularly, so it doesn't bother me at all. I don't particularly want to attract attention to my pits, so if I think I'll get stares in a shirt, I'll shave. Before losing weight I never wore shirts that allowed for peeping there anyway, so I never got in the habit.

I don't like how my legs look when hairy (pale skin, black hair) so I keep them shaved, even in winter.

Ive had laser hair removal on my underarms, so its not an option for me. If it were, I still wouldnt do it though.

I broke my arm about 10 years ago. Aside from the pain and learning to do things one handed for awhile, I really hated having hairy armpits. I couldn't raise my broken arm to shave on that side OR hold a razor to shave under the good arm. As soon as I could comfortably lift the broken arm above my head I went into a salon for a wax. While it may be au naturale, the hairy trend is not for me.

In my opinion, I think it's rank.

It's a proven fact that hair holds in body odors.

But being clean and having proper hygiene and it won't be an issue, but, it is a huge issue for some people.... try going to Wal-Mart on a hot Sunday and you'll see what I mean.

No likely!

Yeah, that's why muscle shirts should not be allowed in the gym, right?

You're attaching a lot of assumptions to a little bit of hair. shower, deodorant, taking care of oneself, rebellion, expression, freeing oneself. Seriously - it's hair.

No chance at all its not attractive to look at, if a person wants to let it grow then so be it. I never grew hair under my arms and I am still so happy to this day that I never did.

I mean freeing oneself by not shaving? That is such a minuscule part of ones life. To me jumping blindly for your goals, overcoming your fears, leaving a toxic relationship. Those are freeing yourself and following your happiness. It's soo hypocritical to rebel to something that is based off the stigma of societies image of beauty is a shaved body. You're taking physical appearance, and making that your focus in life. Personally, if you care that much of what people think, honestly your efforts could be soo much more better suited towards something substantial.

Now I get it. You don't wanna shave then don't. I don't think people really care. I mean if I saw a girl with hairy armpits or hairy legs, I'd probably have a thought for two seconds in passing, then go about my business. But calling it a movement? In my opinion, that just sounds ridiculous. It's an obsession with how others view them. There is soo much more to life than vanity.
