Armpit Hair

[Arianna Valentine]

Personally, I prefer hairless but that's all personal preference. I'm hairless from nose to toes

No need to shave your arms unless you want to. I've got girlfriends who naturally have dark hair on their arms and wax or shave it. My fiancé is Irish and Scottish and has a super fine hair on her arms and doesn't do a thing with it. Me? I'm Italian... hair seems to be a thing for those of us with roots in the Mediterranean region. I use an epilator on mine

I loathe body hair of any description. I shave any hair that isn't my eyebrows or head hair.

I have always thought the same about armpit hair as other body hair - I seek total elimination.

I respect the opposing view as we are all different but no body hair for me thank you!

I shave my armpits and legs every time I shower which is every day. I would never let Tristan touch my legs if they weren't totally smooth. I would NEVER not shave my legs and underarms but that's just me. You would think since the hair on my legs is as white as all my body hair and scalp hair it wouldn't be noticeable but if light hits it almost seems to glow white. I finally got Tristan to trim his pit hair with clippers so it doesn't look like he's hiding squirrels under his arms. Tyler and my dad both use clippers to keep their underarm hair neat. All three of them wax their chests. Or rather I do. I don't know why but among guys who work out a lot and get muscular it's like a crime or something to have chest hair.

In my opinion, I think women look fine with a little light body hair.

On myself however, I want it clean and smooth everywhere.

As much as possible.  To be honest, it is close to impossible at this point...

This is a personal preference, and helps to positive-up my self image

Hello to all of you. My choice is to shave my armpits because I will sometimes be wearing sleeveless tops this Spring and hairy armpits will draw unwanted attention. My body hair is pretty well under control and I have no intention of slipping backward when this is something that is so easy to do. For the record, I use a Venus razor. It seems to work.

I shave my armpit hair, thinking about laser

I totally love the Venus razors.

Please bear in mind that a very large percentage of women in the world don't remove their body hair,  probably more than do.

There are also many here who may feel unable to as they are not yet out,  or only wish (or are able) to present female some of the time.

That said, I do remove my body hair, as I prefer the feeling. X

I shave my armpits and my legs. I could go for a while without if I wanted, I don't have much hair either place and it is thin and mostly translucent. I usually save both when I can feel the only place I seem to get any significant hair which is just below my knees. Right now it has been a week an I can barely feel it and can't see it at all. In the summer it doesn't matter if I can feel or see it, I shave every 4 to 5 days period. I was normal hairy before but it just slowly stopped.

Oh no! I like a guy with chest hair.

I get you Tessa.  I feel like patriarchy (yes I said it, patriarchy) always wants to make ALL of us feel inadequate.  I just might keep my pit hair as my protest to them.  I hate how it makes us feel ugly.  It's patriarchy that's ugly.  It hurts us all.

Love ya Tessa.

Aww thanks Madison, I love you too!  Yes the patriarchy plays a big cultural roll and I can also recall too many teenage girls/women of my generation thinking that getting a man was everything!  Beauty standards and fashion dictates matter more to those trying to blend in or pass perhaps?  I encourage us to simply be more comfortable with ourselves and expand what is female and feminine rather than shrink into submission and more shaving.

I removed armpit hair by using Tria home laser a few years ago, but it grows again a little bit, but not so much noticeable. Armpit hair is very easy to remove by home laser treatment compared with leg or facial hair, as the number of hair is fewer.

I don't know, Barbie. I've seen some pretty furry pits🤮

Nice.  You look absolutely gorgeous.

I actually might shave my pits sometime just to see how it feels and if it's for me.

I believe most women shave their armpits (in the US) but there are LOTS of women who don't. At least lots of lesbians who don't, but I know straight women who don't shave as well.

I lived as a hairy female for a long time and I always got looks for it. It's not the norm. If you want to keep people from taking a second look then you want to shave.

And if you don't want to shave it bare then trim it with a #1 guard on clippers. That's what I do just because I don't like a lot of extra hair but I don't want to shave either.

I shave my armpits every other day or maybe third day and I too use the Venus multiblade razors. Takes seconds usually.  I do my legs maybe once a week as they are covered all the time and if I shave any more frequently I get a constant rash, especially on the upper thigh area.  Arms are epilated once a week as is my chest (although I sometimes shave my chest if I'm in a hurry).  Genitals shaved but pubic area is trimmed very closely.  Back is waxed every so often but it's not a huge problem as I can't see it! lol

Ok I'm confused, don't "get it" thought HRT (MtF) rendered the need to shave body hair completely unnecessary? I just pulled a younger pic of myself I no longer 'ave ANY of that tummy, chest, underarm or leg hair WHATSOEVER?

Full head hair I have I'd post pics but don't want to scare anybody.   

Is bicalutamide the only anti-A that does this?

I think the issue is the word "completely".  As with all things transition-related, YMMV.  HRT will substantially reduce body hair for most people.  "Substantially reduce" does not mean it will all be gone, and "most people" does not mean everyone.

If you are lucky and have little body hair to begin with, like me, then HRT will make shaving one's body a non-issue.  Yes, there is still some hair there, but I have to look hard to find it.  It is not enough to be worth doing something about.  On the other hand if your genes and pre-natal environment gave you the wookie look, HRT might not make enough of a dent in it to be satisfying.

It reduced my armpit hair from male-standard to female-standard.  It did not make it go away, but I see no need to shave it.  That is simply a personal preference.

All the hair you see in my avatar is all the hair I got. 

And what a lovely head of hair you have.
