OT: a sorta personal question for the gals

I've been wondering this for a while and thought I'd finally throw it out here. Having been large all my life (well all my shaving life anyways) I have never had problem shaving my pits.
However, now when I lift my arm to shave it becomes like a cave in and the darn razor doesn't get a close shave.. does anyone else have this problem?
I know most everyone is prolly laughing their butts off right now but I would like to know what we can do to get our pits smooth? Do you use creme or wax or what?
When I was big it was smooth (not that I want that back, I just want the smoothness back)...

I havent had this problem (yet). But I would suggest getting one of those Bikini razors they come in a pack of 5 you can get them at walmart cheap, and they are much smaller so im sure it will be easier to shave.

In your whole life nobody has ever abused you more than you have abused yourself, and the limit of your self abuse is exactly the limit of abuse that you will tolerate from someone else.

Good suggestion, I will have to try this too.

I have the same issue. I even showed my husband the very deep cave under each of my arms.
I wonder if that's unique to us or if people who have never had a weight problem have a cave too.

I can't wait to have a PIT! I actually obsess about it. It won't be long now!!!!! Congrats to you and your new PITS!

P.S. Skinny people have PITS!

No I'm not laughing because I was having a super hard time before my brachioplasty. It still isn't as easy as before WLS. I also notice more hair under my arms now, i was hoping when I had the brachioplasty he would remove the entire are, no luck I still have to shave the pits, lol.

What are you doing in my head?? Just this morning while I was shaving in the shower I was thinking the same thing. I just pull the skin taut with one hand and hold the razor in the other and it gets the job done. Too funny!!
