Sure, as long as they arnt THAT bad.
AS long as you feel comfortable and they don't smell really bad with the hair there - that's the reason why I shave my underarms because the hair holds smells that are better gone.
You should stop shaving your legs, too.
no offense but i think thats digusting.

i shave my armpits.... i mean i thought thats what girls were supposed to do.
I'm a gay male. My feelings on the subject are, that if you feel more inclined to not shaving, then don't shave. Just be prepared that, if you are in public and somebody notices you may be ridiculed for it. Most women, from my understanding, don't like to shave. Many men hate to shave their face. It's just another part of life we have to deal with in some way or another.
Actually, the norm for having armpits shaven or unshaven varies in different countries. I've heard that in south america and in europe it's been more common to go with unshaven armpits
shave. boys lik smooth woman
Depends on how much hair you have, if it isnt THAT much, then I'm sure its ok...
what are we cave women now??
i wouldnt worry about it too much, your supposed to have body hair, if you werent it wouldnt grow on you right. and some guys realy dont care either way lol.
JUst know that alot of men and women dont find it attractive at all. So aslong as you know what your doing ...
Would that make you a girl-rilla? (Just joking - really its up to you).
Do whatever you feel comfy with, but the very fact that youre asking such a question here is cause youre not so OK with it. With woman its generally considered a form of grooming for hygiene and good looks.With men its different,although the hygiene law still goes for them too, but not the "good look" law.
I dont shave i instead use the epilator cause most importantly the epilator removes the roots and shaving makes hair grow out too fast and not to mention it also leaves a "black area" under your arm(not talking about the natural dark skin some people have under their arms).Im just trying to say that you should use different methods of grooming maybe(shave,epilator,wax,laser for permenent eradication)...
Good luck and be happy with whatever you decide on!
It's okay. But it's just weird. I've grown up with girls who are supposed to keep armpits clear. It symbolizes cleanliness.

You don't have to though.
I love nice hairy armpits!! Let em grow!! Who started this shaving thing anyway. It's hard to find a woman with a nice bush these days.
Most guys do not really care. You would have to have some kind of hormone disorder to be able to grow an unnattractive amount of hair.
are you freaking kidding me? what kind of cavewoman doesnt shave her armpits? we arent barbarians. not shaving your pits it not only embarrassing and repulsive looking for you, but it makes you smell more. do you WANT to be a smelly mother fucker? do you WANT tp be the talk of the town? shave those bitches or shave your head and become a man.
harsh much? :P LOL
depends how much u care about what other people think. and regardin men.....depends whther u want to find a man to suit you or change urself to suit a man.
thats rank. definitely nasty. i do hope it's not a sign of shaving habits down under?
trust me. shave. try waxing for a change. but DO NOT come out in public wearing a tanktop with hair fuzzing out of your armpits. take care of yourself. it doesn't take too much to ruin your reputation. Unless ofcourse, you're in a community that appreciates body hair and you want to be a part of it.
says who?
no idea how old you are, but if you're real young it may not have grown in dark/thick enough. there's no real reason to shave other than aesthetics, and odor. Having hair in your armpits will trap the odor and you will smell more "musky" than if they were shaved. People may make fun of you, but really that is their problem. If you don't care what people think ( and you shouldn't) then let it alone...it's normal to have underarm hair, abnormal to shave it.! ( I do shave mine)
The only reason women shave is because it's considered unattractive by the general public for a woman to appear unshaven, if you care about what people think about you then it's probably not the best idea as it isn't "normal" but to be honest you shouldn't give a fuck.
No big deal. I don't for the most part either. Only when I'm going to where something sleeveless like a dress. Otherwise, I don't bother.
How much do you care if a man has a wild beard or shaves / grooms facial hair? Shaves his body hair and pits?

Depending on culture, people will not care or find it gross if you do not shave your pits. In Europe (at least when I lived there) no one cared either way. In America many do.

If it bothers someone you care about, make a trade ;-) I shaved a goatee for a women - it was worth it.

It's your body so do what you like - normal or not (as long as no one gets hurt)
I Think its sexy. ive seen many woman with hairy pits
I used to shave everyday but when I became a mother I only have time to shave like once a week maybe. My hunny loves me for who I am tho and does not really care weather or not I shave.
I persuaded my girlfriend to let her armpit hair grow, but it wasn't easy. I sure do like it though! It's grown out a lot and it's very soft. Sometimes I like to fall asleep with my face there. It's up to you, but whatever you do, however you are, you'll find people who love you for it -- and others who dislike you for it.
HAHAHA. LOVE IT.
lol that would actually not look nice!
@: melvino
yes...boys....real men dont really care because if you look at pictures of naked women from the 70's you would see its natural we only started doing it recently because of some standard that other peple beleive in......create your own standards and do what you like not what 'boys' like
what the fuck is wrong with all u idiots??!!
of course women should shave their arm- pits, and i find it astonishing that u write that men don't care.
of course they care, men like women to be estetic, clean and hygenic.
it is a big turn off, for men and women, to have a woman raise her arm and there's hair underneath.
especially in summer if you wear sleeveless tops and swim suit.
and if you had a bf or husband there is no question!! u cannot be intimate with someone with hairy armpits!!
bottom line- WOMEN NEED TO SHAVE!!
jesus do we really gotta tell u that??

Geesh it's just HAIR Maya, women don't "NEED TO SHAVE."
A little history...
Women in America first started shaving their armpits in the early 1900's with the creation of the sleeveless dress. In 1915 a magazine called Harpers Bazaar featured a photograph of a young woman in a sleeveless dress with her arms arched over her head revealing clear shaven armpits. Soon after Antiarm hair ads began appearing in many fashion magazines and by the early 1930's the armpit hair "war" had been won in America.
Women now in America are now shaving every inch of their bodies! A friend of mine who has recently fallen on bad times has been forced to stop shaving/waxing all the places she used to. The poor girl now has to deal with dark hair growing on her face, arms, legs, and back because some posh bitch at school told her she would never get a boyfriend unless she shaved her whole body.
So Maya this is for you, shave if you want to shave but don't diss people who decide not to. I can only hope that the new trend in America is to shave your head so I can see bitches like you running about looking like a walking dick.
Cheers!
