Underarm hair is still socially unacceptable.

If your stick deodorant gets stuck, it’s time to act

Hair can be wonderful. It covers, it decorates … and sometimes it ruins the way your body looks. Depending on your genes, hair can either be thick and strong in the right places, or soft and wispy instead. Since you can’t order what you want to be born with, you have to take what you get. But that doesn’t mean you have to put up with hair that grows where you’d rather it didn’t. Here are 10 reasons why underarm hair in particular needs to go.

You smell and look better

In summer, when people strip off, some people decide to shave their underarms, others don’t. But as soon as it gets chilly and we cover up again, some shavers go into hibernation and stop shaving again. Big mistake. Here’s why:

If you’re really quiet and roll your stick deodorant to and fro, it sounds as bad as chalk on a blackboard.

Deodorants work better and longer when applied directly to the skin.

If you’re single you’d need to keep your arms pinned at your sides all the time, even when things got interesting. That looks uptight and is very tiring.

If you’re in a relationship, your partner would accuse you of letting yourself go.

The gym is open all year round – give your fellow members a break!

You’d have to miss that pop-up pool party with the top DJ, free drinks and all those celebrities.

Your latex costume would really pinch when you peel it off.

When you show your kids how to armpit fart, the hair would make it too quiet.

Who knows, you might deprive your partner of their favourite erogenous zone. You look unkempt.

So if anyone out there knows a reason not to shave your armpits, please let us know. We’re always pleased to hear new beauty secrets. And if not, just buy the right tool (such as our shaver №421) and get set to rock that pool party, arms aloft so nobody will miss that smooth – and potentially erogenous – zone.
