Strange Reasons Some Women Do Not Shave Their Armpits

Some women believe that to shave the armpits makes one clean and avoid possible stench that may come from that part of the body. However, others do not believe it is necessary for women to shave their armpits. Here are some reasons some women do not shave their armpits.

Opposite sex attraction

Having hair in places like your pubic regions and your armpits are said to release pheromones that attract a mate. It is believed that your natural scent and even hair make you more attractive to the opposite gender.

Cancer-causing chemicals

It hasn’t been scientifically proven that some shaving creams and deodorant cause cancer, there has been a connection between some chemicals and cancer. Although the levels of carcinogenic chemicals are minimal some people believe that it is enough to make them stop using them.

You can have a clean armpit without shaving

True, hair in your armpits might make you sweat more and hide some bacteria, but all this can be settled by bathing frequently, using natural deodorant and wearing free clothing.

Fear of infection  

Shaving your armpits may not automatically lead to a smooth underarm. Sometimes, using blunt razors can lead to bumps, irritation and even infections. Some people want to circumvent this whole process, so they don’t shave.

Unreasonable demand

Some women claim that since men are not subjected to such painful beauty procedures, shaving underarm hair stems from societal pressures of beauty and perfection for women to conform. If men don’t have to shave, why should they?
