Madonna loves her armpit hair but here's what you can do if you don't. Men included
Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Alyssa Milano, Julia Roberts, Madonna and even her daughter Lourdes Leon have done it at different stages of their lives. We are talking about – gasp – women making a statement by flaunting their armpit hair. Dig deeper, and you will realise how society has placed unnecessary demands and pressures on women to look a certain way. Kudos to the above-mentioned women on Team au-naturel, and many others, who followed suit. Why does armpit hair make a man look manly, but when it comes to women, armpit hair is often associated with “unhygienic” and “unkemptness”?
This simple act of not abiding by social norms (by not shaving) has helped raise awareness of the social scrutiny women are subject to and also imbued new meaning to many women's sense of self-confidence. But I digress; whether one prefers to go hair-free or not, in the pits, the legs or anywhere else, is very much a personal choice.
Today, let's talk about some highly-reviewed depilatory gadgets for both men and women. Let me just put it out here, similar to women, men are also on the receiving end of unreasonable societal expectations. There is no shame in men wanting to go hair-free. Many athletes are already doing that to shave off (pun intended) those few extra milliseconds, which would make a difference in going home with a gold or a silver trophy. And should DIY depilatory adventures prove too much for you, Yahoo Shopping has the perfect solution for in-salon treatment in Japan IPL Express. Read on to find out all about it!
