Are you gonna wax your underarms?

My friend was talking about how she did this for her wedding. First I thought OUCH, then I thought, is it really necessary? What are your feelings on this? Would you consider it? Has anyone done it?

Re: Are you gonna wax your underarms?

No. I am not hairy. If you shave the night before, I dont see any reason to worry. Or even use a dipilatory. Just don't shave dry.

Re: Are you gonna wax your underarms?

I did it for my wedding and I loved the results......but holy moly does it hurt....I would even go as far as saying that it hurt more than a Brazilian.

Re: Are you gonna wax your underarms?

I am a big fan of waxing however the armpits I never go there. OUCH. You also have to let it grow out a bit, I don't think I would have the patience for that.

Re: Are you gonna wax your underarms?

I did not...my waxing lady advised against it also as it is the most painful and can you imagine when it starts growing back..itchy!

I was just thinking about this in the shower this morning. Maybe I won't but I am getting the hair on my arms waxed. My skin is so fair and I don't want to have darker hair on my arms.

Re: Are you gonna wax your underarms?

I get mine done every 3 weeks and it is the best thing ever. You don't have to worry about deodorant because the hair folicles is what makes Body order and you don't sweat as much either. I recommend it to everyone . It is worth the pain.
