Default How do you trim arm hair?

My arm hair is too long. I've heard of women trimming their arm hair, but how exactly do you do that? What do you use?

I use a beard trimmer with variable settings. Along with bleaching, it makes my arms look totally normal. If I didn't do either, I could rival some men...

I think shaving arms is probably a bad idea... I had a friend in high school who did that and it always grossed me out. Who wants arm stubble?

Oh by the way, don't try using scissors to trim the arm hair. Or any hair actually. I tried that for a while and I just ended up cutting myself a lot, especially when I was trying to do my right arm! Hard to explain why you have cuts all over yourself without giving up your secret! "Uhhh... my cat's been really cranky lately."

I shave my arms and have since way before I started shaving my legs. I have shave them about every other day or they do get stubbly. But it's not a big deal to keep them smooth.

I use a trimmer like the ones you get from walmart or I got mine from avon. It has an attachment and I use the shorter side for trimming my arm hairs (I have to do it about once a month) and I don't use a guard at all for other areas like my upper lip. I would depend on how short you would want them. HTH!
