Ladies arm hair

28 replies

Do all of you ladies remove your arm hair, and if so how ? Do you shave, use cream or some other method? I used hair removing cream as a teen many moons ago, and my hair grew back really dark and thick. I now bleach my arm hair, can't be bothered to keep shaving. What is the preferred method of the majority, or do you keep it natural?

I'm 30 years old and have never thought about the hair on my arms - it's like a genuine revelation to me that I have hairy arms! I can't stop looking at them now!

I thought this was going to be a pisstake thread!! People actually shave/wax/epilate/whatever their arms?! Madness.

Thanks to PCOS, I have a rather extensive amount of facial hair to contend with (shaving and bleaching - a complete pain in the backside), but the hair on my arms - bizarrely - quite fair. I attribute this to wearing short sleeves most of the time (even in winter I wear short sleeves under a jumper and the jumper inevitably comes off indoors - I don’t really feel the cold), so that hair gets exposed to lots of sunlight. I wouldn’t shave it if it was dark though - I would think it would look a bit odd and feel strange to touch (I’m funny about how things feel though).

I live in shorts from April to October, so shave below the knee in those months.
