are you conscious about your underarm?

Hi CK, I like this discussion of yours...cool mama! Yes, i am conscious with my armpit. it's not dark but i have some hair on. i need to pull it out using Chaney. I love the feeling taking out the hair...it relieved the itchiness.

When I was a student, I never cared about my under arms and never shaved it. When I started working only I strted wearing sleeveless tops and became concious about the importance of keeping it clean and shaved. Now, I shave there once in three days, but still there is a black color. Does anybody know how to get rid of it?

I'm conscious about my underarm.. lol =D Especially when i'm wearing tank tops because i have got some hair there.. hehe ^_^ IT's quite ugly and embarassing to be showing strangers our hair there right?? IT will be a complete turn off as well, be it for guys or gals.. hehe ^_^ Luckily for me, i dun have the problem of chicken skin or odour under there, and thus i dun have any worries when wearing shirts and tees.. hehe ^_^ However, most of the time, i'm in tank and i will make sure i dun show my under hair unnecessarily.. lol =D

My main problem is I sweat alot. Its noticeable. I try to wear sleveless shirts so it won't be so noticeable but can't always get sleveless. So I try not to lift my arms. I shave under my arms almost daily because hair there grows fast. If I dont shave then I also become embarrassed about that. I wish I could have hair permanently removed there and also have my sweat glands removed.

i'm very conscious about my underarm and every girl should be. it's a no no to have hairy underarm coz' it's a big turn off. much more if you have bad odor.

Thank God I don't have dark underarm. Mine is the same color as my skin, but I know people that have this problem. I think this problem is mostly hormonal especially after you give birth to children.

Definitely conscious on how my underarm looks like and as of now I am totally having a problem with it like "chicken skin" and because I am pregnant right now it is starting to darken. How I wish I knew how to solve the problem.

it depends. if my underarms are not shaved then i will not wear a tank top or sleevles shirt, but if my armpits are clean and shaved then i will wear a tank top or sleeveless shirt. i especially like to keep them shaved in the summer, because i have to wear a bathing suit which has no sleeves in the swimming pool.

I am concerned about my underarm. I shave it in every two days and try to keep it clean always. I hate to have hair there. I think it is disgusting if somebody sees the underarm of a girl with hair. I won't use sleevless dress if I see that there is hair. I don't have a nice color in the underarm. There is a dark shade. So, I go for bleach after shaving. Even bleach is not of good use.

I am a bit conscious about my underarms.it has become a bit darker since I started shaving.now I just have it waxed by a pro.while it has become smoother,it is a bit darker than normal.a girl is much more confident if she can wear anything sleeveless that can show off a white underarm.

i dont like dark underarm and i get conscious if it happens. I dont shave since it darkens my armpits. I do waxing because it thins the hair if you maintain it with that procedure

Hairy underarms for girls is a 'yuck'! It is okey if you're a boy. Is it one of the trend? keeping you underarm hair? because I read somewhere that Beyonce Knowles was spotted flashing her unshaved armpit with curly hair ... eeeuuuwww... As a girl, you have to always check and make sure your underarms are clean. There are a lot of product and services out there that can be used.

Nowadays people have several high-tech procedures on attending this armpit issue- black/dark color and bad odor. Way back 1915, the idea of consciousness begin as per record in US and UK. A magazine with a woman modeled on this topic. In Muslim tradition, the removal of the hair from the underarms was a part of a collective of hygienic or cosmetics procedures and practices enjoined by Muhammad as consistent with Fitra for both woman and man and has usually regarded as requirement by most muslims. Ways to remove hair: [b] Shaving[/b], is commonly believed myth that it will cause to a thicker hair the next time it grows. Waxing is effectively remove the hairs and most recommended but usually the process need money. Plucking is painful and commonly practice by some women in the province. About the dark color and bad odor: The color is due to the pigmentation of dark spots on the strand of each hair. The lesser hair the clearer the skin. Based on studies the removal of hair increases the amount of moisture allowed to cling and causes the bad odor. Which combined with acid mantle caused by the use of some soaps, may lead to increase body odor. [b] Note: advantage- without hairs avoid or lessen the dark color, disadvantage- easily or usually lead to bad odor.(Normally people believe that as opposite[/b])

I am definately concious of my underarm. I have to shave and wear deodorant. I especially notice it in church where we lift our arms to worship! So I always make sure I wear deodorant to church now and shave my underarms! I think it's a personal choice whether someone wants to grow their underarm hair or not but it is important to still have personal hygiene when it comes to the smell.

yes i surely am very conscious about my underarms and keep them neat and clean free from hair. I dont always wear sleeveless tops but have a habit of maintaining them. I think a bad show of underarms would surely be a turn off. I notice this in my husband.

I use deodorant on my underarms but if I forget to wear it then I could be self conscious about my underarm. I usually shave too but I don't care about my underarms that much.

Hi, ckyera. Yes, I would be conscious about raising my underarm if I have hair under my armpits. That is just me. I would prefer to shave it all off before wearing a sleeveless shirt or a dress. And, if I know that I have hair under my arms, I will be very uncomfortable with going sleeveless.

Yes, I am conscious about my underarm, I "check" it regularly to make sure no hair is growing because I always wear the no sleeves dress and tank tops, I cannot let the underarm hair grow AT ALL and I think it is better to have no hair underarm, but that's just what I think.

People do make choices depending on their own will,its not that upon another person's forcing him/her these type of decisions regarding our physical matters are taken.The girls do have a lot more differences than the boys in these of things,the girls usually do not keep on the armpit growing for long that creates odor problem because of their skin rather being a little smoother than the males.The hygiene too gets disturbed when females keep the armpits dark as such. Male do have resistance to the physical odor and problems of germs,the most unpleasant experience would be when other point out to us say you do have odor problem,we would feel that person is bluffing but that would be the truth if the underarms keep on growing

Hmmm, I usually dislike seeing hair in armpits. Usually when I do see it on a guy, it turns me off.  :D
