i don't wax my arms. I think it might be necessary only if a girl had really, really hairy arms, that shows well. Otherwise i don't think that girls should be bothered.
I have quite dark hair but I have never waxed my arms. I know a couple of girls who have but I don't think it is necessary at all. But a bit like having plastic surgery (not the best example) if you want to do it then it is entirely your decision.

Well, I wouldn't say that any beauty regime is "necessary"...

A lot of my friends wax without any problems. They've been doing it for so long that the hairs that grow back are extremely fine.

I started to wax my arms mostly because I didnt like the hair on my arms. I've now been waxing my arms for so long that the hair growth is extremly slow, hence only needing to wax every 4-5 months
Is it possible to wax them yourself?

yea, its fairly easy to do. I wax my arms and legs myself and get all of it done within an hour. I use hot wax, which in my opinion is more effective in getting all the hairs out rather than just cold wax. I would suggest you get the waxing done once professionally and then try it yourself..it less risky that and you'll know exactly how to do everything. If you dont know what your doing the first time then its easy to mess and find yourself covered in sticky crap. Hope this helped!
No, I don't see any point in it at all. Unless you're some sort of Chewbacca or bearded woman I don't see why you'd need to :confused: And any half decent guy would not care whatsoever.
nope, i don't wax my arms. Just don't think it's necessary especially as it just grows back even more.
Argh! Don't wax your arms! Seriously, arm hairs are meant to protect the skin, waxing them is ludicrous unless your arms are really uber hairy, in which case just give em' a trim :p: I shaved my left arm once (Yeeears ago) And it really stung, it's just a part of the body that is meant to be hairy! Don't do it! :biggrin: xxx

Never touched the hairs on my arms. :confused: Don't really see the need to...?

They're visible, but I'd be scared to do anything through fear that they'd grow back dark and thick!
ive never touched my arms, i dont want to brag but ive inherited naturally smooth arms lol. but seriously im lucky their fine and relly short.
more adventurous
Kind of like legs and armpits, huh?


Hey no one says you have to shave them, it's just women believe they have to in order to be attractive. Legs arn't as vulnerable as the arms and don't flipping sting when you shave them. As for armpits well, same as xxx

hairy arms are a sign of higher testosterone levels which generally means you're better in bed :wink:
look for a girl with fuzzy arms!

i wax my arms coz i have dark hairs. i dont see what is wrong with waxing and they dont grow back darker and thicker. shaving your arms is disgusting tho, must feel horrible! if you want to get rid of arm hair i suggest using warm wax. if you have very little hair on your arms or it is not noticable then i wouldnt bother

I got my arms waxed once, I ended up with huge bruises all down the underside of my arm, not exactly sexy lol
