To shave, or not to shave... your body hair... - Page 8

I use crystal deodorant (LOVE IT), and won't touch anti-antiperspirant. I'm majorly allergic to it. As in I've gotten hives from my underarm around to my back and across my chest. No fun.

Solumina · 01-01-2009, 10:16 PM

eww that doesn't sound fun at all.

I use an organic antiperspirant/deodorant by Nature's Gate that works wonderfully, I tried the crystal deodorant a while back and it did completely block any funky odor but if I was too active it didn't really minimize sweat production so I switched.

Trust me.. it's NOT FUN AT ALL.

I have Tom's of Maine deodorant in Lavender, Goth Rosary's in Nocturnal, and the crystal stuff.

I shave my legs and arm pits, I sometimes shave other areas on my body but prefer to wax or pluck. I sometimes think I am the hairiest woman who ever lived. I'd love to have that laser removal but its so expensive and I've heard the hair can grow back. Don't know if that's true.

Underwater Ophelia · 01-08-2009, 05:52 PM

Yeah, it is true.

The Judge is currently smooth and silky, although she allows her leg hair to grow if she goes for some time without wearing a skirt or dress. She always shaves her armpits, however, as she feels cleaner.

No kidding - you're really a chick? Cool.

I was dared to have my eyebrows threaded. Never again. Tattoos and piercings hurt less. Waxing is like being tickled compared to that torture!

The Judge is female, and it is cool indeed.

I don't like hair very much. I don't like chest or nipple hair on people.

When I was 8 I decided I would shave for the first time. I shaved my arms too - Luckily I don't have dark hair, and it didn't grow like a forest from that day onwards - but I probably would never have needed to shave anything if I had not started it off.

Waxing is the way to go. I don't like people restraining me in any way - so only I can do it. It takes quite a while because if I stop I start to chicken out and I will wait a day or two before I am brave enough again

Never shave when you have goosebumps. And if you do shave its a good idea to buy that anti-ingrown hair lotion. It looks really gross when people have all of these bumps on wherever - that look like pimples.

I have started to think that dying the little bit of hair down there the same colour as whatever hair colour I have at the time would be a good idea. I have seen some art nude photography and it can look cute =)

+ if you wax or shave don't use deodorant or perfume or any kind of scented lotion etc on the waxed/shaved area. It can become irritated and annoy you.

Men... in my opinion should get rid of all hair except a tiny bit of underarm hair. which should be trimmed and waxed until there is only a little bit.
I think the issue with people who don't do that is mostly because they are afraid of having their balls waxed?

Hair removal cream is probably the best solution for that - even though it smells gross.

I would never use hair removal cream down there. In fact, I'm pretty sure most of them have specific instuctions NOT to use them on your nether regions.

LaBelleDameSansMerci · 01-11-2009, 08:50 PM

Hair removal cream doesn't work for me. My leg hair is too stubborn. I ended up with chemical burns AND hairy legs.

yeah. Most of them of them do. I just thought they would have had one for sensitive skin.

crucifix · 01-12-2009, 04:41 AM

used to shave myself bare 'down there' but stopped because it was a pain to keep up with. I am all natural here. I am not very hairy by nature though.

Opteron_Man · 02-01-2009, 08:06 AM

I shave my face every morning. After 18 hours, I have stubble!
I hate it. I like the clean smooth feel. So I shave. Just having a bit of stubble makes me feel like I just rolled out of a trunk of a car.

menus era sota · 02-01-2009, 10:35 AM

guys should not shave as much (talking about the face here) - a little bit of stubble done the right way is damn sexy.

Malice In Wonderland · 02-01-2009, 12:48 PM

I used to shave my snail trail.
But I'm too lazy to keep it up.
I want an epilator.
Oh and I pluck my toes.

RavenHallows. · 02-14-2009, 10:06 AM

Well, I personally think girls should shave pretty much everything I (dunno I for instance don't really like body hair at all). But then for guys.. I mean sure they can shave themselves if they like but then again seeing a guy with shaved armpits makes me think 'gay' first off. I am not a homophobe but that would just put off the flirting on my side.

Albert Mond · 02-14-2009, 10:09 AM

Guys should shave.

Apathy's_Child · 02-14-2009, 10:56 AM

I shave when my boss tells me it's time - if it were up to me I'd probably look like santa's dark twin comic book-style by now. Stubble suits me anyway, and I prefer having a little to being totally clean-shaven, but either way it's not a big deal.

I absolutely refuse to shave anything below the chin, and short of having that disorder that makes you look like Wolverine I don't get why anyone would bother. There's something eerie about a completely hairless man.

VXTip · 02-18-2009, 12:41 PM

im a guy, hate my body hair and shave it all every week or two, it takes forever but hair anywhere but the head is gross, i trim the nether regions but dont shave because i am not dealing with stubble down there

Pineapple_Juice · 03-08-2009, 09:01 PM

The thing about shaving is I always end up doing it when nobody can see my legs or pits or whatever, and then as soon as I let up for a day is when I've got someone touching my legs or my shirt comes off in someone else's presence. Pit stubble is not cute.
