I'm a man and don't shave my underarms. However, I have noticed that they are like deep holes after losing weight, and it's challenging to apply anti-perspirant.

You could always use hair removal cream

Anyone else have this problem? I can't reach my under arm hair with a razor anymore. I've lost so much weight that my armpit is in a valley, and I can't reach all the hair. Razor is too big. Any suggestions?

Me, too! Planning laser hair removal.

Struggling with this, too! I am able to pull the skin taut enough to get it all, but it takes some effort. I'd like to pursue laser hair removal in the future. I hadn't considered hair removal cream, but that might be a good plan for the interim!

I once used hair removal cream under my arms and I got a reaction that was pretty bad. It was burned skin and felt awful.

If you want to try the cream, maybe get the kind that is for faces which may be more gentle. I sued the leg kind and it was rough!

Men should not shave their armpits. Shaving armpits is an hygenic ritual that only women should practice. Women's armpit follacles are much more sensitive to hair and therefore the regular practice of removing underarm hair is much more healthy for women to practice. Women should also remove mustache, torso and leg hair for this simple reason too.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
