Shaving under arms

[AKAMichelle]

I realize that to wear certain outfits and pass you must shave your underarms. Has anyone had someone unaware of your crossdressing notice and what happened.

[Bernadina]

Do you mean did they notice shaved underarms?

No.

[Jane G]

Been shaving under arms since , Ive been shaving and no one has ever said a thing, except my wife who prefers it. Never had anyone but my wife comment on my shaved legs either, now I think about it. I guess people must notice, it just doesn't matter that much to them to comment.

[CharleneT]

No one has ever commented on it.

[María José]

I shave underarms and I think a lot of people have noticed, but nobody has ever said any thing about it.

[tricia_uktv]

I've been shaving everywhere (nairing actually) for nine months and nobody has mentioned a word

[Ann D Bluebird]

If you want to do it, why would it be anyone else's buisness to comment? (unless its your SO!!....another question)

No one has made any comments to me about my shaving habits....so maybe they haven't noticed, don't care, or are polite! :D

[kimdresses]

I shave my entire body. No comments. And like Jane says, my wife prefers it shaved and smooth.

[Kimberly]

If you want an excuse, say its hygiene.

I've shaved my underarms for a while now, and I have to say - when I don't, I smell bad!!

[Angie G]

June - August I don't shave the underarms the rest of the year I keep them shaved. and no one had even noticed I shaved them for 7 months before my wife noticed. :hugs:

When I started shaving all over 9 months ago, I found that I don't smell as bad. The underarm hair collects the sweat and fosters the growth of Smelly bacteria, since shaving I can sweat profusely and not stink as much.

I shaved all over as well, put since I wear pants at work the only area noticed was my arms being shaven. At first some people noticed and even I was a little self conscious about it, but now after 9 months of being clean shaven, people no longer notice and I like & enjoy the clean look.

I only have had 2 comments that I remember on any shaved parts. One was a coworker that asked about my arms which were not shaved bare but had been trimmed. I told him a grill flareup had singed them lol. The other was a teen girl who asked about my shaved legs and wanted to know why I did, I asked her why she shaved hers. The answer was looks and feels better. I said ditto:heehee:

[traceyanne]

i always shave under arms once a week, have done for years, its a cleanliness thing for me, also hair doesnt look to feminine. anybody asks why and there told the same.

[Karren H]

I shave my whole body and my hockey team mates have seen it week after week, year after year... including my shaved pits... chest.. legs... and no one has ever said a thing... Get a strange look from a new member once in a while... But as long as i can put the puck in the net.... No one cares... lol

[tamarav]

I would be looked at pretty oddly if I didn't shave under my arms. Since I wear tank tops, halters, and now and then a tube top to work, the underarms have to be clean. No one has ever made any remarks about my clean armpits, why would they?

Pictures are me on the way to work yesterday...

[Mollyanne]

No, I don't think people really care, and to be honest I really can't be bothered with people say or think.


:love: Mollyanne

[Theo1953]

I just shaved my arm pits for the first time last week. I've been wanting to for years. First thing I noticed in this hot weather is no smell. And the anti-perspirant goes on easily, not matting in all that hair. Feels better too.

[bobbie_1048]

No one has ever commented on it.

C.

the only time i remember anyone saying anything was once my wife asked if anyone has said anything about my legs and arms. my response was "who cares what they think".

[Chloe Renee]

Has anyone noticed? Yes in the locker room, when asked I, like many other simply said that it was more hygienic. We tend to over think what other people notice. most folk are to busy in their own lives to notice where there is hair or not.

[Jocelyn Quivers]

I,ve been doing it for a few years now, no comments when at the pool or beach.

[Janet Bern]

I have started trimming my underarms. I use a electric razor trimmer and keep the underarm hair to about 1 inch. I usually dont lift my arms when dressed and the hair is pretty well hidden

That's what I'm talking about. Certain outfits in Summer would get you clocked if you didn't shave your underarms.

I was just wondering because I'm starting to date again and I feel a little scared of letting it out of the bag yet about my cross-dressing. I let my hair on my legs grow back out and it feels weird. I am kinda in between positions where I care and don't care if someone knows.

[Nicole Erin]

I can't really wear tank style tops cause my upper body is too built.

but no, no one has really said anything and I don't know if anyone other than my wife has seen my underarms.

But if you are going to want to wear tanks -
The hygiene excuse works well, as others have said.

[Veronica 1]

I have been shaving from the ears down for the past year and the only bad comments that I have had were from me when my deoderant discovers a shaving cut.

[lucy]

i shave legs and under my arm for several years now and no comments so far.

[victoriamwilliams1]

I have been shaving mine with my clipper every time get my hair cut. I keep my hair down very low, plus my wife who does not know does not say anything about it plus it keeps underarm oder down. For the most part I think its disgusting seeing underarm hair that needs to be braided.

[Sarah Doepner]

It's never been a problem with anyone who has seen me. My wife knows and I go to the gym occasionally. My granddaughter once stroked my freshly shaved leg and was impressed with how smooth it was, but there was no further discussion in my presence. What she and my adult children have to say behind my back may go there and beyond. They better be nice or I will leave them out of the will!

[kimmy p]

I shaved my pits on New Years day this year. My wife finally noticed last night. Not crazy about the idea but when I explained that I noticed a distinct lack of odor compared to before she didn't complain to much. I like it smooth. Even if I didn't CD I would have gotten to this point. I simply hate body hair. Unfortunately for me the last vestiges of hair on my body (not counting my head and well.. ahem:o) is my arms. And shaving them would just push things to far for the wife. I have to maintain a balance to be fair to her. Now if I can figure out how to trim my arm hair or lighten it.....:D

[Emily Anderson]

I regularly shave under my arms and nobody has ever said a thing about it, even though the rest of me is unshaved. I think it's one of those areas that nobody really pays attention to unless you have an unisghlty mass there.

[27th Jennifer]

Nobody has said anything about my underarms. You have to look pretty closely to notice. I think it's really uncomfortable to have hair under there. once I started shaving, there was no going back!

[lisalove]

the only comments I ever got were from befor I even had pit hair. One of friends swore I had pit hair and then he noticed one day that it was gone. He kept bugging me and telling everybody that I shaved my pits. When in actuality, I never had it to begin with.
Now since I started growing it, I keep it shaved, along with everyother part of my body.

[Donna Michelle]

I shaved my armpits and legs for years. No one comments on it. Hairy armpits are usually stinkier. Many men who work out at gyms shave. Most people don't notice, care or comment about it.

My wife is kind enough to shave my back hair, so it doesn't show when I wear a swimsuit or something. She prefers to have the back hair removed. The only strange thing is that I shave my chest hair. My wife doesn't care. She doesn't like the scent of the hair remover, though.

[Deedee_tv]

I continue to be appalled by the nature of some of the discussions on this board. Shaving your armpits has nothing to do with sexual preference, orientation or anything else. It is just hygienic. Can you imagine how gross and disgusting your pits would be if the hair under them was six or seven inches long? YUCK!!!

My manly man father showed me and instructed me to shave my pits every month to prevent the stank of BO from building up as it will in long underarm hair over time.

Can we all get past the "people will think I am gay or a tranny if I shave anything..." mentality. Nobody gives a crap if you have hair in your armpits (or arms, or legs, or chest, or pubes). Really, don't worry about it.

[natasha]

Been completly shaved going on 3 years now, no one has ever said a word. Theres no going back for me.

[Jamie001]

I agree and can't understand why most males don't shave their underarms! It is gross and unsanitary. Also, any man that wears a tank top shirt should be required by law to shave his pits. It is just gross if he doesn't. Ewwww! :brolleyes:

Years ago I read that savvy deer hunters shaved thier armpits to reduce body odor. I tried it since I am a deer hunter and liked the look and feel so much that I continued doing it year round. Now I shave my pits once a week and no one has ever commented on it. But then if they did I would not care and would just say MYOB!

[Amanda Nicole]

Been shaving my armpits for over 15 years...it's more hygienic, eliminates odor, and nobody has ever said a thing. No going back for me...

[LovelyRita]

I don't think your underarms are a noticable thing. I went shaved from the neck down for a year and did get stares for my shaved legs. But I was too self-concious about it around family and in-laws.

[linnea]

I shave my underarms, but I don't think that anyone cares (unless I am wearing something sleeveless; then I think that they might).

[DonnaT]

Check out the ultimate fighters some time. They (most) shave all over. Nobody wants to have their faced pinned under sweaty hairy pits.

No one's said anything to me, or asked, except my wife. I swim or wear tank tops to the gym when lifting weights, no comments.

I remember my brother complaining about sweat and odor, and I told him that since I started shaving those problems have nearly disappeared.

[Ruth]

If I don't shave my armpit hair, it will grow to about 2 inches long, which looks frankly ridiculous. Since I started shaving under there, I am happier appearing in public as a man in sleeveless tops, and needless to say, Ruth looks just fine in skimpy tops.
No-one has ever challenged me on it, but I would just say it looks ridiculous if it grows out.

[Cyndie]

Been shaving my underarms for over 10 years now and no one has ever commented

I have shaved under my arms for a couple of years now and people at the gym can't fail to have noticed, but no-one's ever said anything.My S/O likes it. Its better anyway as you don't get stinky pits!:)

[Laura_Stephens]

Been shaving the underarms for a long time and as far as I know, no one has ever noticed.

[morgan pure]

I have shaved my armpits for many years. My close friends know about my dressing, but no one has ever asked about it otherwise.

MY problem is shaving my legs. For years I was very out, clubbing and working in the NYC drag world so I got used to shaving my legs and I still do in the winter. But life has led me to hanging around with very middle class people, not as sophisticated as the downtown crowd. Can I shave my legs all summer? Do straight guys do it sometimes?

I'm dying. I HATE leg hair. It's like my beautiful long legs are always dirty lokking and rough instead of heavenly soft.

Morgan

[Keely]

Underarm? Always. As to legs only completely in the off months, the rest of the time very short.

[AKAMichelle]

I went and did it. Feels a little weird. I decided what the h***. If someone says something then so be it.

[KatieZ]

Been shaving mine for 16 years and never a comment.

[Deedee_tv]

Congratulations, now go buy the Phillips Body Groomer, made for male men who are males and not women....

Make sure to click on the "BODY" link at the bottom

I use this to shave my entire body. Not many wives or girlfriends can argue when they see the picture of the man on the box and the fact that you can buy it at any Walmart or Target. Come on guys/girls - get less hairy!!!!

Good for you Michelle! I'll bet you never go back

My advice; Just do it!

[michellejw]

Been shaving underarms and legs for 5 years and chest and tummy about 2 years. Nobody has ever said a thing and I wear shorts all summer.

[kymmieLorain]

I have been shaving my legs for almost 6 years. but just got to shave my underarms just recently. I do enjoy it and have noticed that they seem to be less sweaty and my deoderant works better too.

Kymmie

[cosmolovesph]

been shaving them for years, no comments

[TammiHeartilly]

I've been shaving them for just under 6 months now and nobody has ever commented or even seemed to notice.

[elaineg]

I have been shaving for over 8 years. Only one asked anything my nephew "So how long have you been shaving your legs?" I Looked at him straight faced and said "about two years" nothing else was said. My nephew is 7 years younger than I am, if that makes a differance. and in all that time no one else has said a word.:straightface:

Hmm. Its a bit off topic but...

I'd go back to shaving whatever you were shaving before and shave whatever you would like to shave.

I know a number of ladies who prefer the shaved look and feel. And if you are into men, I'm sure a lot of them wouldn't mind either.

Just be the person you want to be and try not to second guess your date's likes and dislikes.
