Waxes: Waxing involves a gooey substance being spread on your skin. Then someone (maybe even you) RRIIIPPPSSS the the goo and your hair off. There is pain involved. In the case of your underarms lots of pain. Waxing lasts 4-6 weeks but the pain is almost unbearable when your underarm hair is being ripped out. Look to shaving as a less painful alternative.

Shaving: Shaving is fairly easy. This is the method of choice for the underarms.

Depilatories: The harshness of depilatories and the sensitivity of your underarms may not be compatible. It is likely you will end up with a severe rash. Before you use a depilatory in this area you definitely want to test a small area first to check for an adverse reaction.
