Hairy Armpits

[Raistlin]

I've been taking antibiotics continously for five years, so the inside of my tummy most likely contains very little bacteria.

What do you have that requires antibiotics for <i>five years</i>? That's potentially extremely harmful. Your body needs some of the stuff antibiotics kill.

Rock salt deoderant supposedly changes the salinity of your sweat so that bacteria can't grow there People with long armpit hair use it and aerosol deoderants because the mushy kind gets clumpy under there^_^

a little FYI links deodorant to cancer via the use of aluminum in 99% of the products out here. HA take that prissy smelling ... prissies~

I don't see what's so unhygeinic about it anaisia. There's more bacteria living inside your belly than there would be under your arm. Heck, there's still bacteria living under you arms unless you're crazy weirdo freak and bath in antibiotics. Then you just make them super resistant.

I've been taking antibiotics continously for five years, so the inside of my tummy most likely contains very little bacteria. But obviously bacteria is in the hair on my head, etc. But the difference between having bacteria in the hair on your head, or on most other areas of your body, is that it doesn't make you smell. Under the arms the more hair you have, the more bacteria you will have, an the more you will smell.

Well lots of people do this thing called "showering", which they follow up with "deodorant".

I have hairy armpits, yet I don't smell. I use deoderants and the like, and am repeatedly told by girls (when we're hugging) that I smell nice. Just because you've had a few stinky boyfriends doesn't mean you can lump us all into the stinky hairy monster category.

As if I'd ever have any affection for a stinky man. An I didn't say every person with armpit hair stinks. Wearing deodorant can contribute to covering the smell, or help decrease the smell, but it doesn't remove the bacteria that causes the smell in the first place. Removing the arm pit hair however, will decrease the number of bacteria, which will decrease the actual smell, rather than just masking it, or discouraging it.

If you can't tell whether or not someone is shaving their armpit hair without looking at it, don't worry about it being hygenic or not.

I don't worry about other peoples armpit hair. Unless of course it's near me.

I've got a hormone imbalance. So I have to take antibiotics to make sure my skin stays clear. I know it's not good to take antibiotics for that long, but until I can find something else to treat it, I'll keep taking them.

I've never heard of that stuff, but it sounds like that's what the hairys could use.

It's the hairys especially that need deodorant to mask the smell of their bacteria. I smell nice, but very rarely wear deodorant.

An lots of people do this thing called "sweating". An there is this stuff called "bacteria" an regardless of whether you shower or not, it's going to be under your arms. More so if you've got a big clump of hair in there.

No, if you had no bacteria in your belly you would be dead. The antibiotics are more specific to the kind of bacteria that's been attacking you for the unfathomably long time of 5 years. He's right about making bacteria resistant. It's extremely, extremely bad for you, and the health system, and anyone in the future who would want these drugs to still work. So don't be a weirdo freak who bathes in antibiotics.

I will have nightmares about this thread forever and ever. I hate you Wesley, for showing me this. I hate you.

Oh and they aren't hairy.

My bacteria are good little buggers - they don't smell.


And I braided my armpit hair since bipper asked if he could: it feels funny, I must say...

You sweat the same amount whether or not you have hair. The hair is just there to catch the nasty nasty sweat, and stop it from running down your body.

Read the post again. I said "very little" not none. An I've already posted about why I've been taking antibiotics for so long. If you actually read my posts properly before responding to them, you'd realise bacteria has not been attacking me for five years. An I'm well aware of the problems that can arise from taking antibiotics for so long. I wouldn't take any medication without being aware of what it actually does.

You do sweat the same amount, but you don't have the same amount of bacteria.

I did read all your posts. I just think you are silly.

[Polaris]

Damn that's either scary either desperate to my eyes...
That was a the most horrible part of my day today
I do shape the hair under my arms thank God I'm not like that man!

Wow, and I always thought you were one of the smarter people on this Forum

Thanks for proving me way wrong :chuckle:

You have nothing to say in return to Anaisa, so you counter with 'I think you are silly'. Very cheap. But very helpful as well. It'll help me make sure I don't pay too much attention to your Posts in the future.

Yes you do. :O_O:

Why the hell do people always assume I'm so serious? Jesus, this is a thread about arm pit hair!

[Quindiana Jones]

Also, "I just think you are silly" is a very acceptable answer given the subject that they were arguing about.
