Underarm Hair

Triton · 2007-08-18 10:08:52

I was just wondering about my hygiene. I thought that cutting or shaving my underarm hair might help my hygiene but then someone told me that underarm hair actually improves your hygiene. She said that the underarm hair locks in any sweat and stops you smelling as much. Is this true or what?

No, its the opposite underarm hair gives your sweat more surface area to evaporate off in turn leading to more smell.

Well if that was the case men wouldn't have B.O. And Lord knows, they can stink to the high heavens. :eek:
