Do You Trim Your Armpit Hair?

Can't be arsed.

Armpits are suppose to be hairy on a man, and trimming makes it look unatural! Men should be hairy, and trimming chest hair and pubes is a diff thing! Keep the pit natural!

By this rationale, men shouldn't shave their face or cut the hair on their head either. I'm naturally, not a particularly hairy guy. But I do shave my face and go to a barber. I also trim my pubes and arm-pit hair. It doesn't look "unnatural". Neither does it look unkempt. To each his own. If you want your body hair to grow like the "wild man of Borneo", so be it. But trimming it back a bit hardly makes one look any less "masculine".

I trim mine every two weeks or so, along with my pubes. Notice lots less sweat on the underarms and less odor.

 

[twoton]

Yes. Antiperspirant builds up on it over time and after a while no matter how much I scrub a slow build up of odor results. So I shave off all the hair and start over.

I'll add my 2cents here. Since I started shaving I've noticed less sweat and less odor. I shave them or have them waxed and use deodorant as usual (Speed Stick) and I find it much more comfortable than leaving the hair there.

Also, I noticed that more guys shave their pits in Central/Eastern Europe than the US. Not sure why but in the gym showers in Prague, 7 out of 10 guys will be smooth. In the US it's more like 1 of 10.

It's true. In the Turkish Army if you have hairy pits you'll get a punishment. It's more hygienic because the bacteria which cause BO have no place to live. Or let's say less place to live.

For a few years I had a huge BO problem until I learned I needed to kill those bacteria. Crystal mineral salt deodorant creates an environment in which those critters can't survive and trimming or shaving naturally helps. I use the crystal once a week and even if I go several days without a shower, there is no bad odor.

I trim once a month.

gee never even crossed my mind to do that. I don't have that much so I just leave it alone!

 

[kawasakic]

hell no... haha

 

[B_bottom3inch]

i have hardly any armpit hair which is blonde/red so i shave it.

 

[D_Miranda_Wrights]

No, although I would if I had as much as most men have.

 

[shroomhead77]

I definitely trim mine. I've never been a fan of really long armpit hair. Depending on how much you have, to each his own, but I prefer a tidier look.

 

[D_Terry_Tugnuts]

Yes, I have done for years. One of my girlfriends said it was unusual and asked if I was bi! (I wasn't then but am now... wonder if it's a predominantly gay or bi thing?)

The guy in one couple we swing with shaves his body - head, pubic hair, arms, legs, everything, except his armpits and that looks really odd. Don't really like to ask him why he doesn't!

 

[HJ1958]

I don't have much, so I'm going to hang onto all I've got. Love hairy arm pits on men! It goes along with my general love of hairy men!!

 

[horneyoldguy]

Trim it back - easier to keep clean

 

[rollerboy]

All my body hair grows long--especially the arm pit hair ! I got a set of barber clippers and use one of the attachments that isn't too short to trim it. Works quite well. Then I put on a shorter attachment and go over the entire body. Then I shave cock and balls. This is what works fir me.

 

[Rafael Carlos]

how do you trim yours? i try to shave the sides to make one clean line.

 

[Girthy99]

Shave it all off here.

 

[Bluevybe]

I don't have very much to begin with, so no.

 

[TheHorrorPapi]

I use to, back in high school and early college years.... but not anymore.

 

[Throb]

No

 

[A_dub]

Call me a freak, but I actually shave my pits every couple of months. I tend to have a forest between my legs though, lol...
