How can I become more motivated to shave my armpits and lady parts? It takes too much work, my manly muskles are preventing me from bending that way... /sad face.

    When your partner says "No shave...no sex..." you will hopefully get motivated. Or a new partner!:ohwell:

    Laser is great. Instead of shaving everyday, it is once a week

    Yes... lasers! During this experience can I expect to feel like Jedi warrior at any point during the procedure? I totally pay extra for the Jedi package. :D

    Have you considered hiring a pool boy to shave for you?

    You can take pics of your self flexing with nice clean pits! = ) Get some great smelling shaving cream. I agree with getting laser - if you can afford it, it's worth every penny. I have not done my pits yet but it's on the list! Personally I can't stand the way I feel if I don't shave.

    Do you stretch after you workout? It really helps with maintaining flexibility. Also if your arms are tight you might see if you have an imbalance somewhere.

    If my other half said this to me, they'd be the one looking for a new partner! :laugh:

    Shouldn't not having hairy armpits be motivation enough?

    It will feel like a Jedi warrior is popping you in the pit with a rubberband, repeatedly. And your lady parts if you choose to laser that too.

    I was thinking about going laser... but I thought it was permanent? You have to go once a week?

    I think you should just accept those hairy bits--they are quite in line with the manly muscles anyway ;) hehe. (i rarely shave btw...I've got manly muscles too)

    Bodybuilders don't like body hair, just like cyclists don't like leg hair. Its in the subculture. Try to assimilate into your peer group like a good girl.

    I've never really been good at conforming... or being a good girl. :)

    Laser hair removal is permanent. You can only be treated once every 6-8 weeks, and it takes about 8 treatments for the area to be completely hair-free. Just had my second treatment last night. It will be Christmas before I am done, but soooo worth it if I don't have that dark shadow on my pits. Even when I shave, mine are not completely "clean".

    I got laser done on my underarms! Only had to have 9 treatments, and now I never have to shave, wax, laser, anything again! I LOVE it!! (Although it hurt like a *kitten* and cost me a fortune).

    Aside from that, I get a brazilian every 4 weeks and shave my legs every other day. BODY HAIR BE GONE.


    Btw--I think the OP was making a joke about her manly muscles getting in the way :)

    LOL. :D I'm gonna be friendsing you. PS How much is a fortune for laser? I'm actually really fully contemplating looking for a groupon in my area now for the arm pits at least, I have a high tolerance for pain.

    I'm using a Groupon bought for $89, which covers 8 treatments on a small area. I've seen them as little as $75 here in the LV area.
