How to Shave Your Underarms
After or soon before you get your first period you will begin to notice underarm hair. Now unless you wear long sleeve tops all year round you're going to need to shave your underarms! Shaving your underarms is quite simple and doesn't take a long time at all. But it is important to learn not to cut yourself or the cut can be quite annoying as it is in a sensitive place.
Most women shave their underarms in the shower. You can shave elsewhere if you prefer to but I can't think of anywhere more comfortable than the shower.
♥ First make sure your underarms are wet. Shaving dry is a recipe for disaster.
♥ Put hand of the arm you're shaving on top of you're head.
♥ Lather on some body wash, shaving gel or conditioner. Either is fine so it's a good idea to go with the cheapest option.
♥ In smooth strokes shave your armpit. Underarm hair grows in all directions so it doesn't matter in which direction you shave. I like to shave in downwards strokes, then in upwards strokes and finally short horizontal strokes.
♥ Rinse the soap off and repeat on your other underarm.
♥ Pat your underarms dry to avoid irritation.
If you cut yourself rinse the cut under cold water. This will stop the bleeding.
Don't use a deodorant after shaving your underarms it will sting!
