    confession: I shave my arms. :(

    I've been shaving my arms for about 3 or 4 years now, and either way I'm embarrassed. I've always been a furball, and I think that is more embarrassing, and bare arms definitely looks more feminine, but I still try to hide them. And this is what is really bad. I have to shave twice a day! Yes, TWICE a DAY!!! Once in the morning, and once in the evening. If I don't they'll be prickly and stubbly. What can I do? Is laser hair removal the answer? If I do that, will they be smooth? And how many times do you have to go before the process is complete? I don't think I want to wax, because I have super sensitive skin, plus since I have to shave twice a day, I figure a wax job will only last a couple of days, plus I don't want to wait for the stubble so I can wax. I hate stubble. Does anyone else have this problem? I have to shave my legs everyday, and they're stubbly about 10 or 12 hours later, but I'm too lazy to do them twice a day. I can deal with the legs, but the arms.....sick of it. I want to be soft and feminine. And I don't feel it.

    Fortunetly I only have to shave my legs once a week or every 2 weeks and my arms maybe every 2 weeks.... my pubic hair on the other hand is a twice a week thing.

    Sounds like laser hair removal is worth looking into if you have to shave as frequently as you say you do. You don't have to shave your arms to look feminine in my opinion.

    i have had laser hair removal on my entire bikini area. im still going through the process - i have had 2 treatments and i will need 4 in total apparently.
    the hair that has grown back is really smooth - doesnt feel like pubic hair anymore at all.
    u should get a permanent or at least 5 years or more result from laser.

    Laser hair removal will work best if you have fair-to-medium skin and dark hair. You usually have to go back five to seven times, I think, but you don't have to stop shaving. Lasering will cause some redness and irritation; it's usually fairly short-term.

    I shave my arms too well actually only like 2-3x per year. I do like the bare look but I don't mind the arm hair. Hell it's winter..I need to stay warm

    I shave my arms too.. i love the bare arms look. My boyfriend hates it. He tells me to just wax it. I have to end up shaving twice a day too, becuaes of the stubble problem. My hair grows in super fast! AHHH! i'm gonna look into laser or just get waxed. That pic of the girl from charmed ..is what my arms would look like..only alot worse...(damn greek heritage) i don't think it's attractive. YUCK!

    Well, you guys make me feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one, and I'm also glad I'm not the only one who has to do it twice a day. I agree with Green Apple. I don't think that picture of that girl is attractive, and my arms would be way worse than that if I didn't shave them. I think I have Greek heritage also, but I'm not sure. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford getting laser hair removal done. I love getting advice from you guys, but even more....I just love knowing that I'm not alone.

    I've been shaving my arms since high school. Its probably just my opinion, but hairy arms on women is nasty. I can't stand it. I like the full-body smoothness...shaved arms, legs...trimmed up cookie.

    I only have to shave my arms one a week or so...well, now that I'm preggers, I shave my arms a little more often. But, eh.

    I've shaved my arms since high school too. My arms looked like the pic of Alyssa Milano posted above and I HATED it so I just started shaving them. I agree that hairy arms on a woman is not attractive at all. I usually do it at least several times a week. I'm a very quick shaver so I often have little nicks on my wrist bones or elbow. Better than hairy arms I say.

    I agree. I don't like hair anywhere on my body either. Fuzzed/trimmed cookie is fine for me, but NO bush. ew.

    I've been shaving since 5 or 6 years now too. I have to do it every two days. It gets annoying.

    I'm an arm-shaver too. Started a few years ago after a lifetime of hating how much hair I had on my arms.

    No advice, just chiming in.

    I used to shave, but it's too much upkeep. Now I just get those wonderful Nad's waxing strips at Rite Aid and wax every couple of weeks. With those it costs $5, as opposed to the $30 it takes at the salon!

    I shave my arms almost everyday. I agree that its just gross to have hair on the arms. I also think that hair anywhere below the neck is gross but only on me.

    I shave my arms, too. I have fair skin and dark hair...not a good combination.

    I'm with Venus, though, on women with arm hair. Not pretty.

    I've shaved my arms too... but it's such a pain! I used to wax... but that was sort of a pain, too. I've started bleaching them. It looks sooo much better. Damn my German descent! (I think that's why?)

    You don't have to worry Sparkle! Women wax since antiquity! I don't shave but I wax my arms, some parts of my back, and the medium line on my belly. I even do my hands, fingers, feet and toes, haha! I use cream for retouching. I am not that hairy but I love the feeling of my skin completely naked. Plus, I think hair looks gross on me. A have a very pale skin and brown hair so it shows a lot. For my face I only bleach the hair.

    About shaving your arms, I don't think it's a good idea. Waxing doesn't hurt that much (I personally use cold wax strips) and when the hair grows back, bleach it until you wax again. That will weaken your hair and make it thinner.

    I have done my arms a few times with the pre-waxed strips and it worked out really well and stayed smooth for quite a long time. I never shaved before though so that may be why. I find that even though you have to grow the hairs a bit before you wax again they are pretty fine and not very noticable.

    Yeeeeah, a naturally "tan" dark-haired woman bleaching her arm hairs. I would rather have hair on my arms.

    Thanks, but I'll stick to shaving.

    Haha, I'm a hairy armed monster! Well, not right now because I burned it all off, but usually. I actually have an arm-hair fetish customer- no foolin!

    You can see my arm hair here: http://www.stripperweb.com/forum/att...3&d=1163436356

    I won't shave it, because the idea of arm stubble makes me queasy.
