I would wax them. It lasts longer... No chemical burns from Nair... no nicks, cuts, or sharp stubble from shaving.

I got crap from people in high school (in the locker room before and after P.E.) for not having hairy arms.  With me, it just took time.  I'm almost 30 now and still have hair popping up in new places.  Just relax about it, because you can't control it.

Hair makes you itch sometimes. I would shave if I was you. I have really long hair. (growing from my head, not my arm pits) and I keep it pulled up most of the time because when it's down and brushes against my back, it itches. So since you arent going to put your arm pit hair in a pony tail I would suggest shaving it off.

if you have stubble or fluff then shave, its up to you.

Well, armpits are a pain because razors NEVER conform to the shape of an armpit and the bikini line is very sensitive but the place that has been shaved on my body that is the worst??? My elbow.  When I went for surgery last year to have a broken arm fixed, they have to shave the little hairs on your arm.  So now I have the hairs on my elbow again but they are blacker.  Oy.

warm shower helps soften the hair. shave in the direction  the facial hair is growing to avoid irritation (on the neck shaving down is better for less irritation. If your face can handle it; for the closest shave, shave down and up on each area. This may lead to irritation and shaving bumps though

One more vote for naturally hairy.  Shaved does look like a little girl (and therefore seems sort of creapy and wrong) secondly that area does not lend itself to shaving as well as underarms, face, and legs.  Most women have terrible shaving bumps...yech...just leave it alone.  It has so much more character - color, texture, scent, density, distribution - much more interesting than bald.  And for those that said they were scared by a full bush, step aside you wimpy punks, you are a disgrace to the gender.

Personally, I Like it to be shaven, or at least neatly trimmed. I don't like to get hair in my mouth. Besides, it is soon summer and you don't want to look like you are smuggling a squirrel in your swimsuit, do you?

You may look for a female gynocologist.  I know I would if I were female.\n\nAnyway, unless you're a beauty contestant, I don't think you need to shave down there.  You could use small scissors to cut the pubic hairs before you shave, if you really want to do so. \n\nAs a man, I like the hairs.  I think its a pity to shave off what nature put there.  I don't even care if you shave your legs or arm pits, as long as you do good hygiene.\n\nSo you won't mind me reading and answering this question, but you are ashamed to ask your mother, a woman who gave you birth, and knows what you looked like in your birthday suit for years?

Maybe you have sensitive skin. Be sure to always use a new razor, but in your case it will probably still irritate the skin. I would suggest letting it grow out and then prepare for pain...waxing! The results will last for weeks and hopefully you won't be red under the arm for more than a few hours.

You should be shaving them anyway.... oops,  I don't think I checked to see if your a girl or not.    Anyway I think it's also weird that you don't use an anti-persperant.

I've got to say I love the stubble.  Even tried to get the guys I've went out with to grow a little if they had none before.  Maybe you should try clean shaven for a week then go to the goatee.  See what the results are of the ladies falling at your feet.

best time is when you take a bath, your skin is warm and soft less irritation from the blade.. use a shaving cream and shave in the direction the hair is growing. it's works for me.

Ok, here goes. When I was in my teens, I was shaving my under arms from top down. This is backwards as any woman knows. I thought it was easier, and if i went against the grain (so to speak) it would be a closer shave. \nThat summer my mom took me aside and told me that under my arms was getting dark. I was shaving them wrong. Do you remember Miami Vice back in the 80's? The dark look on the mans jaw. It wasn't stubble. \n\nIf you shave agents the way the hair grows, You'll get a dark look.\n\nChange the way you shave.

try a shave gel and a better razor if you are using electric go to manual blade razor.

We're in the same boat. My mom never told me what to do either. But on my own I decided to shave it. I only do when it's the summer or if it gets really long and itchy. And only on really special other occasions do I shave it. It's just a personal choice you'll have to decide on your own. Either way, whatever you chose will be fine. You are you, after all!
