VICTORY over armpit racing stripe!!

Post Date: 7/21/11 7:36 am

Some stuff you KNOW is probably going to happen, loss of hair, extra skin, maybe you lose a shoe size or two, or maybe not.

What I was not prepared for (and of course, would not have been a deal breaker) is the phenom that NOW I have such convex armpits that my dominant pit, no matter how I twist, turn, pull, manipulate, keeps this bizarre racing stripe of hairs that Just Dont Leave.

Shaving alone - I could start to braid and put beads on those durn hairs. PLUS I get razor rash in the rest of my pit because I spend minutes and minutes going over the poor pit to try and get the hairs!
Home waxing made me bleed, cry, and still I was hairy, braidable, beadable.
Using depilitory creams - still leaves hair cuz I cant scrape the hair properly, PLUS I get chemical burn on the rest of the pit because I keep TRYING to get that stupid stuff out!

So of course, the helpful people say

Laser hair removal!  Well, were that in my budget, that would be done!

Just pull *like this* Pffft.  Dude. If you think after a year and a half of this I havent pulled, tugged and twisted all that was possibly human, you need to pass that freaking bong.

Go get it waxed. It was a good idea, but its not 7 bucks a pop every 2 weeks like eyebrows might be, its 16 bucks (w/o tip) if I go every week because not all the hairs have grown out and they need to pluck them, and if I go every other week its 20 bucks (w/o tip) cuz now the hairs are long and they have to spend more time and wax (i guess!?) on them! Which ends up being a nice chunk O change after a month, a year, etc, that again - I would rather spend on something else, if I had that cash dolla budgeted.

Today I got genious and used the tiny barbie sized razors that are the bikini razors and VOILA!!  It fits perfectly into my concave pit and shaved all the hair out!!  Yaaay!

So!  Be warned, you may get the armpit racing stripe but those tiny 'kini razors could be good for you too!

And thus ends my PSA on tiny 'kini razors and armpit racing stripes.

Sooo...  waiting for someone to pass that bong. :}

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  You are such a hoot

At least now I am not a semi-European pitted hoot!  :}

So funny, and soooo true!  I've been fighting the same battle.  So mini razor huhhh?  I'll have to look for them.

Welcome!  I put the picture on a post below,  and can only seem to find them at walmart.  Course, now the OH ads tell me I can get them on drugstore.com too. :}

  Thank you so much for the great solution to the one thing driving nuts!

Oh my, you just hit on the bane of my existence.  I have the exact same problem and have been forced to seek help from my DH in this area.  It hurts when he tries to make it work.  I am running to the store right after I type this and looking for these mini razors you speak of.  Is there a brand name?  I have never seen them before.

Noxzema!!  You might want to call around, Out of the 6 local stores, I can find them at Walmart! :S

There might be some other brands or other bikini razors, but the key is their tee tinynes!

LOL! What a great idea...I have to look for these at the store to get rid of my stripe!

And here we thought we were the only gals!!!!

THANKS!!
