| I can only shave my underarm once a week or it will get red, which is especially annoying now that it is summer. What is the best solution? Does waxing work well in that area? I have never waxed before. |

Hiya!..
Firstly, do you moisturise your underarm? Moisturise after shaving especially and let the area dry properly if say you've just got out of the shower, before you apply deodorant..and check your deodorant is alcohol free because that will irritate and cause redness after shaving.
Personally though i think epilating is the way to go, i know its all "arg no it hurts so bad " and stuff.. and believe me i was one of those wimps  but it's really not that bad, and after my first time at doing my underarms it hardly bothers me. Also...it'll help stop dry skin, your skin will be softer, your hairs grow back less and less each time and it'll pay for itself very quickly, BONUS!!
Anyway hope this helps  |

| Thanks. I actually use an epilator for my bikini area. I tried it on my underarm once and I thought it actually hurt more than the bikini area. But I only pulled out like two hairs before stopping. Its definitely worth a try though. I love how epilating (and waxing, but epilating is cheaper) lets it come back thinner. |
