How often do you shave your armpits?

Just out of curiosity since I don't know if everyone does it as often as I do.

never, always been bald under arms.

Geneva12 · 21/06/2024 21:46

When I am wearing something that will show my armpits.

SwordToFlamethrower · 21/06/2024 21:46

Never. I stopped about 2 years ago. Was the most empowering thing! I love my arm hair.

I feel quite liberated. I thought, why should I shave? Arm hair is supposed to be there, along with my pubic hair.

Atleast twice a week.

MartyFunkhouser · 21/06/2024 21:47

Before I had a Lumea, daily.

Now, never.

Given that everyone commenting that it just takes seconds, I don't think it makes much of a difference to the length of a shower.

If people aren't shaving their legs, pits and bits and I'm also questioning at this point if people on here wash their hair regularly then I can now understand how so many people on here have showers in under 2 minutes

Every day, otherwise you can see hair

Cuwins · 21/06/2024 21:49

@S0livagant We are all different shapes- never had a problem seeing mine at all.

Armpits are a hollow though, don't you have to pull them taut to find the hairs and shave?

NeverEnoughPants · 21/06/2024 21:52

S0livagant · 21/06/2024 21:44

How do you see in the hollow of an armpit in the shower? I need a mirror.

I don't need to. I don't shave. Maybe ask the people that shave in the shower?

Pritas · 21/06/2024 21:53

I used to occasionally. Probably not in the last 30 years though. Swimwear is fine, who cares?

Huh?

You think because people don't shave their body hair, they don't wash the hair on their head?

That's a massive stretch...

Cuwins · 21/06/2024 21:58

@S0livagant no can't say I ever have. However I'm also not that fussy about it so maybe that's the difference?

LordPercyPercy · 21/06/2024 21:59

Never. I do sometimes do legs and bikini line in summer but I like my fluffy pits.

RuthW · 21/06/2024 22:01

About once a month

persisted · 21/06/2024 22:03

I've been waxing it for 30 odd years, and only do it when it gets long enough to start to bother me.
These days that's probably every couple of months. It's sometimes a while though between the thought and the action as I can't be arsed.

I couldn't be bothered doing it if I was doing half a job. Which it would be for me without a mirror.

TwixOwl · 21/06/2024 22:04

Every morning, the spikes drive me mad!

maddiemookins16mum · 21/06/2024 22:04

Never now, unless I’m wearing a sleeveless top or dress which is rare now seeing the size of my bingo wings.

JaceLancs · 21/06/2024 22:05

Once a week in winter
rest of year 2/3 times a week depending on weather

GigiAnnna · 21/06/2024 22:05

About twice a week. I used to do it daily but it doesn't grow as fast now.

ImthatBoleyngirl · 21/06/2024 22:06

Every other day.

Songbird54321 · 21/06/2024 22:07

Every other day at the moment. Every day if I was on holiday. Maybe once or twice a week in the winter.
I keep meaning to look into laser hair removal but something else more important always crops up that takes my money instead!

pontipinemum · 21/06/2024 22:08

Not as much as I used to. But I do when I know they'll be on show

Oblomov24 · 21/06/2024 22:10

Once a month.
