hopeless

I shave my arms. It's quick, once you get the hang of it. I also recently started using Aveeno Positively Smooth lotion on my arms and legs. It's definetly helped, and I can shave less often now.

baby oil to shave?? How much do you use? (How oily are you when you shave?) That would be so much cheaper than shaving cream.... I wonder if it would work well on armpits too....hm

I use Veet. Its quick and easy and leaves my arms much much smoother and the hair grows back slower and thinner than when I shave.

I use Sally Hansen bleach on my arms. They now put aloe vera in it so it doesn't smell quite so bad. I don't leave it on as long as the box says because I start itching from it. I usually do it every month or so.

seriously_so

i also shave my arms. and i have been shaving for over 5 years now. i don't regret it, it just becomes a part of your routine. but if i could take it back to the first time i ever did anything about the hair on my arms, i would recommend WAXING. also if you don't want to have to get into the habit of shaving, definitely try waxing.

wax 'em

I use an Emjoi. I love it and use it on my legs too. Lasts just as long as waxing and so much cheaper. I've had mine for almost 10 years and it still works like new.

I shave with an electric razor once every 2-3 months. My arm hair has thinned out a bit over the years so it's not so bad until it gets long.

I usually shave my arms but I noticed that my upper arms started breaking out so I stopped for the summer and let the hair grow out. I decided to wax instead which made me break out like CRAZY!..so by the time my arms cleared the hair started to grow back :/

I tried Sally Hansen's bleaching kit...overall I was really happy with the results, but it didn't seem to last too long. I'm just leaving my arms natural for now and maybe I'll bleach them pretty soon..

MiniGidget

I wax 3-4 times/year, and it looks great. I'm not going to lie to you though--it hurts bad and I often bruise.....but I bruise fairly easy!
