Anyone shave their arms? I've noticed the hair on my arms getting darker and got to thinking about this.

    I do, have done for years. It has not gotten thicker or darker as people say. Its a personal choice but I prefer shaven to dark hair on my arms.

    I did for a while in high school, but after I was completely done with puberty they turned practically invisible.

    If you do it'll be next to impossible to stop, i would go get them waxed instead
    The hair will thin out and become lighter.. if you shave it will be constant upkeep and have prickly arms all the time!

    I thought my teenager was insane for doing it, but I must say I've tried it and I kind of like it. I don't do it regularly, though, I just do it when I look down and can't believe how hairy my arms are :) I thought it would be stubbly but it's different than legs and doesn't usually bother me when it's growing in.

    i used to shave mine when i was younger but i hated always having prickles so now i just buzz them with my finances little clippers and i think thats a lot easier

    I do during the winter when I'm not tan. Instead of using a razor though, I use those little electric shavers. I feel it works a little better and doesn't give razor burn and ingrown hairs.

    Babe it doesn't get "darker" or "thicker", it appears that way cuz when you shave, you make the tip of your hairs blunt, so it LOOKS different. BUT hey, waxing is a WAY better option anyway, the hair grows back thinner! (Whether it IS thinner or SEEMS thinner, i dunno, but it's better than shaving.)

    I assume she means her hair is getting darker so she's considering starting to shave.

    In my opinion, the only hair on a woman that we can discuss politely, should be on top of her head.

    All the time, even though I couldn't really see it, I don't like the feel of it on my arms! :) I sometimes wax them... had a few shave accidents!

    i use an epilator , it's like an electric army of tweezers and it pulls your hairs out. emjoy makes good ones but you can do some brand research online if you're interested. they're expensive like 65 dollars but mine's lasted for years and still works great.

    Yep. I wax every couple of months.. Feels smoother than shaving and I don't have to do it all the time :)

    Shaving down south.. yea I get that but..damn .. i thought you gals were talking about the pits.. NOT the arms themselves.. I can say I have NEVER known anyone to shave their arms .. nor wax them.
