I shave mine, but I don't care about what others do with theirs. To me it's not something of any importance. In fact, I'm more likely to question a person's motive for shaving any body part than wonder about why they don't.

I think it's pretty unnatractive when women don't shave their under arms... but then again I guess everyone has a right to do what they want!

I don't like body hair at all, but others are free to shave or not shave as they like.
Though, when it comes to boyfriends, I would hate to be with a guy who wouldn't shave his armpits =\ I do think it's gross- just a trap for bacteria and sweat and it takes all of 30 seconds to shave em

I shave my armpits when I take a shower, my husband doesn't shave his. I don't give a crap if someone shaves their pits or not. It may not be my thing to have hair there, but if someone else wants to, I don't care.

I don't shave my legs or armpits and I'm not tacky or unclassy thank you very much. I'm making a decision about my own body. Shaving is tedious and I don't like doing it so I don't. I don't understand why that says anything about me as a person at all. There is no reason at all that women should have to shave while it's all right for men not to. Why would anyone choose to not talk to someone based on what they do with their body hair?

Am I the only person who is attracted to body hair? I like body hair on men and women, it just looks right to me. I think it's way more strange when people look like barbies instead of mammals.

This exactly.. I hate to shave- I have to shave every week at least, my hair grows fast. I don't like shaving because I get ingrown hairs and THEY R PAINFUL!!!

I don't care what people do, it's their body. My bf doesn't shave his underarms, and occasionally I'll go a while without doing it. It's natural, and it shouldn't matter. I personally would rather not have hair there, but who am I to dictate what others do with their bodies?

I don't shave my armpits, and it isn't really a big deal to me. My S.O. doesn't care either. It shocks me how violently some people respond to strangers having body hair that they don't approve of... I don't really care if someone chooses to shave or not, whatever, it's their body.

To each their own....not something that bugs me. I choose to shave mine, but don't get tangled up (ha, hair...get it?) in what others decide to do!

Nature vs. nurture. We were nurtured to shave...people were taught that it is "gross/unattractive" not to do so.

I shave because hair bothers me and makes me itch...regarding others, do whatever makes you happy. I just have other things on my mind than "Omg, that person doesn't shave their pits!"

I shave them. I think it's fine if a woman chooses not to, but my personal preference is to. Mainly because I hate the feeling of hair there. I can stand going for awhile without shaving my legs, but I absolutely hate the feeling of stubble/hair in my armpits.

I shave my underarms daily out of personal preference. My husband does not shave or trim his at all. I'm fine with what everyone else decides to do with their own underarms, whether they choose to shave or not. It's a personal choice everyone makes, and whether you do or not doesn't necessarily mean you're lazy, or gross, or say anything else about you really.

I shave pretty often, but sometimes my razor gets dull or let's face it, it's winter time and I'll skip a day or two

Shave my legs and underarms.
I don't do it every day, to be honest with you!
I have sensitive skin.
I wouldn't be able to just let my legs and arm hair grow!

I don't really bother to shave my arm-pits (or my legs for that matter) unless I'm in the mood to feel super smooth and extra sexy.
My partner has told me several times that it doesn't matter to him one way or another and he usually can't keep his hands off my legs even when I haven't shaved in a month or so!
He's the best, and I know that I'm lucky to have him, but really I don't see the big deal with being a little hairy.

Me too! My guy is way hairy (long hair, beard, chest hair, leg hair, pit hair, the works!) and I find it a huge turn on! To me it makes him look super macho and sexy, I can't keep my hands off of him.
If he wanted to shave anything, of course I'd be supportive, it's his body and his choice, but I'd be sad.

I shave whenever I'm in the shower. Which is to say everyday. I HATE body hair.
