I had my armpits lasered, no hair, no shaving. It took 3 sessions at $200 a

session, but well worth it in my mind. It was over 4 years ago. About every

12 or 15 months I go back for a " touch up " as new follicles come along.

Still well worth it. No razor burn, no deodorant sting. This is the same

laser process used for removing unwanted facial hair. Lots of ladies had

their bikini lines done....I am a long way from worrying about that.

Well, misery does love company. Guess there is no better answer than

Nair...can't imagine electrolysis....Eek! Just that the Nair is kind of hit

and miss...what a pain..huh?

Shaving under the arms is difficult. In fact it's the pitts! lol But those

are the kinds of things that just make my day. So I'm not going to complain.

While shaving I just sort or raise my arm in different directions until I

get it all. I can live with that!

I have this same problem, but only with my LEFT armpit. It drives me crazy.

I try pull the skin taut with my little and ring fingers while I hold the

razor in my thumb and index fingers to swipe at it - it helps some. I don't

know how skinny people get their pits shaved! LOL

Jacque,

Actually the shaving of the arm pit is one of the things that helped me get

approved for my brachioplasty. Because I had such a cavern when I raised my

arm over my head to shave....I'd press hard with the razor to get in all the

nooks and crannies. As a result I'd get a terrible razor burn/scraping. I

had this when I saw my plastic surgeon. He asked about it, I told the truth

and he absolutely I should be able to practice normal hygiene without having

this happen. He took the pictures and even noted the cause in his letter to

thin insurance company.

(who is rash free now cause when he did the brachioplasty he removed the

skin that grew hair!)

Speaking of shaving them off...does ANYONE have a problem shaving underarms?

I have lost so much fat that my armpits are actually PITS. The razor won't

I have used Nair...which works somewhat...but am I alone here

with this problem..? I have never seen this one addressed here. What do

you

do to fix this? I'm hoping if ever I do get a bounceback of weight...(I'm

29

mos post) I will get some fat there! Sure would make it easier. UGH!

Hi Sue~

Now this is interesting. You still have the *pits* but no longer the skin

that grew the hair? Now THAT, I could go for. Although my stinky

insurance would never pay for that sort of thing...it IS something to think

about. Maybe someday my ship will come in and I will be able to do this. I

really wouldn't have to have much removed, but if they could take that

particular part out...how great not ever to have to worry about shaving

again! At least my armpits. HEH HEH!!

Regards~

I use the Venus razor -- has a flexible blade area and seems to work better.

Also, Bend your arm so that your elbow is at the top of your head and you are

patting yourself on the back. That flattens it out some.
