NBR - Your armpits

ConnCottagerConnCottager
in May 2011 Moms
So this is entirely off topic but I could use your input. I'm one of those women where, even immediately after shaving my under arms, I have a "shadow" that might as well be armpit hair. I've only ever shaved them, never waxed or used another method. Has anyone had this issue and achieved better results than with shaving? Thanks!

    You may have more of a 'shadow' than you do normally due to pregnancy. No advice though.

    I have super dark hair anyway, so I have always had this. Pretty much the only way to get rid of it is to wax or pluck your pits. . .and trust me, that hurts much more than it is worth.

    Also, in order to wax the hairs they have to be long enough for the wax to grab the hair. So like 1/8-1/4 inch. Do you really want to have to grow out your armpit hair to that long before getting waxed everytime. Especially when it takes just a second everyday to sweep the razor by.

    You'll always have a shadow if you have darker hair. I'm (thankfully) a blonde, so I'm lucky with no shadow. 

    PPs are right - It could be pregnancy related or not, but it's WAY easier to sweep a razor than it is to wax (OUCH!) or anything else.

    I tried waxing one - I have such sensitive skin that I can only shave every 4/5 days :(

    I also have VERY VERY thick hair? like each strand is a tank holding it's own? I wan't charged for the armpit wax because I only got half of one pit done and I was in tears and bleeding - it was worse than a brzillian and I won't ever recomend armpit waxing lol!
