A question all the women with batwings...

Dear batgirls...  how the hell do you shave??  I'm having such a hard time.  Now my pits are not only concave, but they also have shrinkles and drooping skin.  I really try to keep my pits sparkly and hair-free, but this is getting insanely hard... and painful.  I'm constantly cutting myself - which is the hurt that keeps on giving because when you put deodorant on cut skin -- YOWsers!

Damn you, pits!!! (I'm shaking my fists at my pits right now, my batwings are swinging around with enough force to give myself a concussion if I don'****ch it...)

Seriously... what are you doing to keep your pits nice despite the bat wings?   A special razor?  Waxing?  Nair?  Just say 'fuck it' and embrace the hairy pits - maybe dolling them up with braids, beads, and bows? 

(Sorry about all the swearing.  My pits hurt and it's making me cranky.)

Bikini razors!! They fit right in there! Hope this helps...

OK - that's a good idea!   I'll have to look into it.

Of course, this all reminds me of that horrors that is my bikini area.  Don't worry, I won't be descriptive.  Just know... the horror....the horror...

Thanks for your post, it's hysterical....and my answer is NAIR BABY NAIR!!!  Susan, NEVER QUITS

Yeah, I was thinking about Nair.  I'm just a littlee worried since I have sensitive skin.  I'm a delicate flower, what can I say?

I hate my batwings - and my armpits.  Laser hair removal is a huge thing out here apparentlly.  I am seriously considering it.  lol

BOOBS first tho!  :P

Sounds like you have a body reconstruction project list too. ;)   I don't know much about laser removal.  I'd rather have total batwing removal.

Hi Sleeved 

Thanks so much for the laughs!  This is hilarious.  Not the pain, of course..........for that I sympathize and hope you aren't in too much pain.  The deodorant DOES sting something fierce!

I just recently found I have "wells" where my pits used to be.  I guess I even had fat pits   I have found that using "Daisy" razors no longer work for me -- those snags and cuts HURT.  I use a Schick Intuition now and it seems to do a better job of defuzzing.  So does my Lady Remington shower safe power razor.

Been thinking about maybe getting one of those No No things or a Tria home laser hair removal zapper.

Not quite ready to embrace hairy pits......though I like your ideas about bows!

Don't feel bad about your batwings -- once the rest of the fat is gone, mine are going to scrape the floor!

Good luck.......if you find something that works, please share it.

Thanks for your suggestions!

You know, the batwings are a good problem to have.  I'll take the deflated flappity things over the inflated arm floats I used to have there.  It's probably impossible to lose 140 pounds without some battle wounds... I'll take them.  And hopefully someday a plastic surgery can minimize the deflated look a bit. 

I am soooo sorry to laugh at your expense -- but I snorted out loud!  I have a vision of my future (I will kindly not visualize you in this situation --that seems a little creepy!  LOL!) -- and I can see myself in the shower, trying to shave, getting slapped in the face with a batwing, stumbling, hitting my head on the tile, and my husband finding my unconscious naked body -- calling the EMTs, and finding myself coming to in the ER trying to explain that I'd been assaulted by own batwings!

I thought those bikini razors looked promising.  I've had laser hair removal on my face, and I'm not sure I'd want pits zapped!  But lots of people do it.

Take care -- and let us know what approach ends up working!
