There are a lot of threads where people are talking about shaving their pubes, but not much discussion on armpit hair. How many men here remove their armpit hair, whether it be shave, wax or laxer?
The reason I ask because it seems like not many men today do it. Society always make it seem like a woman thing. But ever since I started having my armpits waxed last year, I've really loved it and can't go back to hairy armpits again. It feels much cleaner and really reduces body odor. In fact, I don't even have to put on deodorant anymore because the lack of hair keeps the pits clean and fresh. If I sweat there, it dries up very quickly since there's no hair to retain the moisture.

The discussion is to ask if many men do it. I don't think I've ever met a guy that shaved or waxed his pits. But I started to do it, so I feel like I'm in the minority. Which is strange because many men shave their chest & stomach hair, so why not the pits?

rydeguyMay 3, 2021I used to when I was still living in the states as the summers used to get quite hot, haven't done it so much in recent years, I've only ever shaved my pubes once in the hopes of having my bush grow back thicker but it didn't and I don't really like shaved pubes on me. I'm a hair fan, but I do think it looks good on some men, not all men, (beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that with respect)
Do what makes you feel comfortable.

Stone AndyMay 4, 2021I lived in Germany in the 80s when women didn't shave their armpits, though I believe they do now. I didn't care for it much and then I thought the idea of men shaving their armpits was strange. But it didn't take long to notice how some men shaved their pits who were often very masculine and fit, and it suited them well. Now I have come to see skin as a wonderful gift of an organ that is best free. Hair can adorn it and make it more sensuous, but it can also hide it and trap a lot of dirt and bugs. Ask a hairy guy like me who can scare small children and have birds check me out as a potential nesting site. I agree with the other posters: shaving or not shaving, trimming or not trimming: it's all good.

BryantMay 4, 2021I am not a hairy person so I have minimal hair in my armpits and at my age, it is so light in color that it doesn't really show. I think that what other people do is their preference and unless I am married to them it is none of my business. I have no preferences I accept others as they present themselves. However, I don't understand those that say they prefer someone to be "all-natural" and unshaved, but they shave their face. Shouldn't that be "natural" too? As I said, it doesn't bother me how people treat their body hair, it is more important how they treat other people.

AustinJohnMay 4, 2021I didn't use to but had even been told by my father than keeping underarm hair short keeps you from sweating as much so now when I am going smooth down below I also try to hit under the arms. Feels better and use less deodorant. So ladies, what is your view on men shaving their underarms? Most women do so really we are just catching up.

Nude PaulMay 4, 2021I'm smooth from the neck down, including arm pits.

Oh wow, I never did that. I love the hair that I do have and I do not have much hair. I love hairy armpits! :)

MackMay 4, 2021I had been shaving smooth from navel to backbone for quite some time when, looking in the mirror I noticed the bushes poking out from my pits and it turned me off. I've been shaving them smooth ever since and it feels, looks, and smells much better.

GuyMay 4, 2021I did it a couple of times, I liked it and like has already been said the deodorant works better. My wife wasnt thrilled I did it so I just keep it trimmed short now, arms are also kept trimmed. Shave head, face and down to the knees.

WayneMay 5, 2021Yes I shave my underarms as I have had badly ingrown hairs in the past because of cheap brand deodorants so to stop the problem I started shaving and I like it as it matches my no pubes look.

I've been shaving my pits for as long as I have my genitals. I prefer hairlessness! It does keep odor down to a minimum. Started this in the 1980's. Started to include my chest and stomach, now I have short hair on my head and forearms. The rest of me is smooth!
ReactReply - MEMemberMay 16, 2021
Yes I shave my underarms and have done for years. I don't remember why or when I started but it's just something I seem to have always done. It's the only bit of me - other than my head hair (I'm bearded though) - that I do keep shaved. I leave all my other body hair alone

SteveJun 2, 2021No. It would be nice to reduce the volume to compliment my usual look of lightly hairy, but it's not thick enough to be a pressing issue for me. I don't like the idea of stubble from shaving or prickly ends from trimming. Plucking the longer, thicker hairs to leave only the shorter, thinner ones as I do further down, would be my preference, but the motivation factor is yet to overcome the effort to do it to myself.

George T.Jun 5, 2021I remember my first waxing of arm pits. I discovered how much less odor I had and liked the feeling as well. I had laser and it got almost everything. It look odd to me when men have a shaved or waxed crotch but full underarm hair. Personal choice do what you like for yourself.
