Hopefully someone shows up with full pit bush next time and really blows their minds.

    I hope some female celebrity does just that to make a point.

    Not what we've sadly been conditioned to think is normal but still looks great would just take a bit to get used to. Just like my gf looks a bit odd when she takes off her glasses just takes 10 minjtes for the brain to adjust to the new reality.

    Her underarm hair was visible?!

    Never mind Jeffery's paedophile cabal, how will higher society ever get over such controversy as a woman's armpit hair being visible??

    Exactly. Offbeat complainers can just not pass on their genes, right, wrong, or indifferent.

    So make a funny face to this post and then feel entitled because Lemmy is a microcosm of the real world.

    That sounds like it could go horribly wrong if you don't know how to use the chemicals.

    Depends on how you do it, really. Most of the candy color dyes these days are semi-permanent or temporary colors, so they don't have the same harsh chemicals that permanent dye used to have. The most dangerous chemical in the process is the peroxide bleach, and you can get really gentle formulations of that now for bleaching your mustache.

    Am I alone in thinking its weird to not have armpit hair?

  • [–] 17 points 6 months ago (4 children)

    Personally I shave mine because my pits start smelling quickly when the hair gets to like 5 CM or so. Despite using a decent antiperspirant.

    I don't keep it super short though and give zero ducks what other people do with theirs.

    Should probably clarify. Personally my the view each their own long as your not doing it to please someone else. I was just making a flippant comment. I do apologise to anyone however that may have felt uncomfortable or targeted. Personal note tho not out of trying alot of folk i have been in relationships dont shave and i was more kinda shocked they are still having this convo in pop entertianment media land.

    (dude here) Same. My pits smell pretty badly after a whole day in hot weather if they're sporting bushes.

    Also... yuck. I don't know, I just don't like hair anywhere other than the head + eyebrows + eyelashes. If there was a magical procedure that eliminates 100% of all the other body hair forever, I'd go for it without a second thought. We really don't need it since the invention of clothing.

    The thing is body hair has a purpose but aesthetics has taken over that. I don't think it's weird either way to keep it or shave/wax it. Everyone has it because it's the way the human body is designed and like everything else on our bodies, we get to choose what to do with it 🤷‍♀️

    Where the hair?! That's shaven, but not to extreme levels of wax that shit into oblivion this morning. Hollywood and porn industry basically since 90s has just brainwashed society into believing body hair is disgusting and weird. For some reason. It's also especially funny when you descend into "Hairy" section of the porn and it's just normal women with normal levels of body hair. Like, not even full yeti, just some armpit hair and a bit of a bush downstairs. That's not "hairy", that's just "normal" woman.

    Firstly be what makes YOU comfortable, then look for what others might care. I've tried shaving fully to silky smooth levels and it's really not comfortable in a lot of places of body.

    When I want to treat myself, I shave, exfoliate and moisturise my legs, and change my bedsheets. It's divine.

    I used to shave my legs because of the nebulous patriarchal pressure that many girls and women experience. But now I do it for good reasons and it's much more liberating

    THANK YOU. The idea that this is some new trend drives me nuts. I wanna add on that waxing hair for aesthetics is even older than shaving; it's extremely difficult to get a shaving edge with bronze tools (and shaving with flint sucks), but you can make sugaring paste with honey - and there's evidence of it being done for beauty at least 6,000 years ago. There's plenty of evidence that it was common in ancient egypt, rome, greece, china...

    I don't think it's the removal of body hair that is seen as "new". It's the way it's ridiculed like in this post when there's a tiny bit of stubble lol and it's worth mentioning.

    Though I wouldn't say that's new either, it's just more and more widespread the wider the communication methods have become. But this isn't "new" even in the modern world for Hollywood, it's online now with the wider reach but this stuff has existed for as long as we've been photographing celebrities lol.

    You're right about farther back than ancient Rome. A few months ago I went to a mummy's tomb exhibit from ancient Egypt. People considered shaving so important they were buried with their razors so they could shave in the afterlife. Not just faces either, body and head hair were not spared.

    Thanks for showing you care by taking the time to comment. And for creating a paradox, because now if the reader is to live their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats", they will be following your directive, and caring for what you think, and thusly not living their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats" Their only option otherwise is to not live their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats" as their individual expression, yet that too would be not living their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats". Perhaps they will need to return for more advice on living their "own motherfucking lives, ya twats".

    Jungkook of BTS

    I have no idea who Jungkook or BTS are. It's either a cultural thing or an age thing. Probably both 🙂

    BTS is a K-pop group that is pretty popular worldwide.

    Their name is annoying. There were kids asking why the runescape team was making "BTS" news posts that weren't about the band at all. They've been making "behind the scenes" posts for like two decades...

    No idea what their music is like, don't think I've ever heard it myself.

    I don't understand. Is it because there's a tiny bit of stubble in what is possibly the hardest place on the body to shave? As a man that's been waxed before, I 100% understand if someone doesn't want to do it. It sucks. And this is like the amount of hair I have by evening if I shave in the morning.

    I would imagine that some are harder to shave than others, depending on their shape.

    But man, shaving a scrotum is a good way to accidentally castrate yourself.

    I can't imagine how folk shave their buttholes and peributtholes on their own. Like even with slippers I end up snicking something, and no one needs to see my war zone I'm not making a beautician do it. And I'm not trying waxing I tried a small bit on my leg. Big mistake. That goes nowhere near my puckers.

    I can shave my sack fairly easily. Probably because I've been doing it for 35 years.

    Not quite as long as you, but I've also been doing so for a long time. I've probably shaved my groin more often than I have my face at this point. I'm still pretty awful at it.

    • I'm morbidity obese, so the reach isn't always easily quite there.
    • Because of the obesity, it's really only feasible to shave standing up, but I broke my ankle and hurt my spine a while ago, so it's already difficult to stand up for any period of time.
    • I'm right handed, but I've dislocated my right shoulder fourteen times, so I can't always make that hand/arm do what I want.
    • I'm pretty uncoordinated with my left hand and have arthritis in that shoulder, which isn't a huge limiter, but still complicates things.

    I just do my best and hope that, at worst, it doesn't itch for me and is not actively unpleasant for my partner. Generally speaking I don't expect anyone else to look at or interact with the area.
