It’s not the safest thing to do. You’re body systemically absorbs lidocaine ( which can interfere with heart rhythm and certain heart medicines.) You need only a small amount , it’s not meant to be sprayed on like that. Plus it can be really irritating.

@@dhanashri5661 I tried waxing one time. Upper pubic area was deadly but acceptable but going lower was hell. I literally told the girl to stop and went home with patches of wax because I just couldn't take it anymore. Soaked my girl in oil to take the wax off and never again.
yesss. i always thought i would resent my mom for not letting me shave. i have never shaved my hair once in my life. she told me that if i waxed and never shaved i would only have to do it like once a month, not everyday like shaving and that by the time i was 20 i might do it even less then that that. well now my hair is so thin that you can barley see it. so in between my waxing appointments i’m not even insecure of my hair showing bc it’s so unnoticeable. and now after doing it for a while I barely feel any pain at all lol
Use one tablespoon lemon juice mixed with 1/4 cup water. Wipe on clear area with dampen cotton round. Once or twice a day . Leave on for about ten minutes. Then wipe off with plain water. Works on all skin type
Lidocaine or other numbing medicine can kill you. It's uncommon but it has happened. 2020 or dateline did a story where a young woman used it on her legs before a hair removal procedure. It caused her to go into cardiac arrest. It may have been a stronger dose over a larger area but why take a chance. It may be better to just deal with the pain.
I've waxed my armpits for many years cause I always get super itchy after shaving, no matter what. I've never used a numbing product, it's not necessary imo as the pain only lasts a few moments.
A tip from me is INVEST IN CLARITY. Girl, we have the same thick underarm hair. I saved up for clarity (not ipl or normal laser) and I only wished I invested in myself sooner.
Darkness under armpit might be due based on the possible aluminum in your deodorant. Always get aluminum free. Great hack is mixing baking soda and fresh lemon juice until a paste and let it set on dark area for 5-10 min 2-3 times a week. In a month the darkness should be less pigmented or if not gone. Yw ❤️🩹
The Panasonic electric shaver is a life saver!! You will never ever have ingrown hairs or irritated skin under your armpits ever again! Just use a bit of baby powder before so it glides smoothly. You can use it everyday of the week if you really needed to and no irritation.
@@Nohablogringo- the sessions are done monthly So you will see results on the third months completely After finishing it up, you just need to do it once every six month if necessary
Thank you for showing your actual armpits, mine are pretty hairy and cant use the techniques other people show only cause they have so little hair! I would off myself of I try doing it like them
girlie don’t worry about the colour of your armpits. if our bodies are naturally darker in some areas, that’s mother nature telling you you’re beautiful the way you are. of course you have every right to not like them, but i promise us girls won’t judge you on something as silly as that!
It can be natural, but it can also be because of insulin resistance (acantose nigricans). I had dark armpits when I was overwheight and insulin resistant, but it got way better when I started treatment. So yeah, it can be natural, but I’d recommend getting a medical check up! The looks don’t really matter, but your health does!
@@NoName-sp5dp as I said, it can be natural, but even the insulin resistance pigmentation starts subtle. The images you find in textbooks or on Google are more severe cases, of course.
I haven’t been to getting waxed in shop to save $ but I hate shaving! Not sure why I never thought of the numbing spray and doing it myself. Those damn nair strips don’t do anything for me! Thanks for this!
Even tho I don’t like shaving my under arms because the hair grows back literally the next day I started using an IPL little machine to get permeant results and it seems to be working! I really hated waxing I used to wax very often because I was on my swim team and my under arm hair started to get thinner so I kept waxing but then I stopped when I left high school. Now I shave once a week and use the IPL after I shave (the hair still grows back quickly but it has been slowing in length so it is not as long and is softer) this much more doable for me! I would rather have permeant results it may take a year but I think it’s worth not hurting myself since shaving is not painful if u do it correctly. I have a routine and I don’t feel bad for having hair anymore if I have a stubble because I know my routine is worth it to get to my goal. I feel more confident knowing my hair won’t grow back if I keep up IPL. Hope this may help just incase you want permeant results and hate waxing! I know my mom is older and waxes and her hair her under arms is super thinned out but since I am younger my hair would grow back thick as it was. You should only use IPL if you are over 18 for best results. Or just don’t shave lol I wish we didn’t feel the pressure to!
I want to wax but always get a ton of ingrowns when I do even when I stick to natural products , use baby powder first and exfoliate a bunch. My hairs are thick and dark
I wax my whole body but I don’t add anything. I use to add baby powder to not pull on the skin but I just got wax with natural oils and it won’t pull on the skin
Great tip on the lidocane..i need it for southern wax!!also to get your pits lighter use a lemon scrub a few times per werk. Also irish potato rubbed in dark areas will also lighten
I use an epilator. The first few times on the armpits hurt like hell, but it's bearable now, as long as I don't let them grow too long. The bikini area - the sides, up and down - are also bearable, but the middle part is hell. I just trim that part.
I prefer removing the hair with a tweezer, then I scrub the area and avoid using deodorant for two days. No, they don't smell when I got no hair on the area.
You might wanna press the skin right next to the end of the wax when pulling it then press the skin right after to reduce the pain. Also, wax doesn’t hurt that much to apply lidocaine spray 😆
If you do it properly, it shouldnt hurt much, only sting, press down afterwards on the area and apply some baby powder to prevent chafing for a bit and you're good to go. I've never even heard of lidocaine spray being used for waxing
Also! If waxing just doesn’t do it for you, the Panasonic woman’s electric shaver is a life saver. You can use it everyday if you really needed to, you will never have irritation or ingrown hairs ever again. And you can shave anywhere! I’ve done it in the car before 😂😅 I got two kids and am always in a hurry. Just use a bit of baby powder so it glides over the skin smoothly. Life saver
Thankfully I don’t need to wax. I have barely visible hair under my arms and I’m a full grown adult. Only bad thing is that the hair on my brows and head are thinning out. Can’t win ‘em all I guess… 😂😂
@@SewnSeamlessly not sure what state you’re in but I have great references for you if you need it along with some tips & tricks . Not all lasers are the same or as good. Take care.

Quick tip as a beautian hot wax should be applied against hair growth and removed against hair growth Warm wax (strip wax ) should be applied in the same direction and removed against the direction on hair growth Pull the skin taught because it can bruise if not Hope this helps 🙏 ☺️
Just started but idk bout the lidocaine sounds great, but i just have the most sensitive, skin all of a sudden. So I do not do that but thats just me, Im no professional!
Ladies, laser works soo good and saves so much time and ım free from thinking oh my body hair is gotten longerrr ı should wax/shave itt no girl ı dont even grow body hair anymore
Nah something I don’t need to do. I went for it the first time in 2002! Bam! Got use to it and now been waxing for 20 plus years. Even Brazilian don’t bother me 😂
I once waxed my armpits. I knew it was a bad idea from the moment I put the wax on. But here's the problem: it was already on. And my mom didn't raise no quitter, so of course I'm not gonna try to carefully and slowly peel it off like an idiot. I cannot even describe the amount of cold sweat I was in leading up to the ripping. I pulled it off. Of course, the pain was much worse than I imagined, and I just crawled up into fetal position. Here is the hook: you have two armpits. I of course could do the smart thing and just accept the loss and move on. But once again, I ain't no quitter and my monkey brain is telling me that asymmetry bad. So I get ready for pain part two: electric boogaloo. I put on the second wax strip. The only feeling in that moment was regret. Why would I do such a stupid thing? It matters not. The wax must go. And so I ripped it off once again. Now see the funny part is, that I was still in pain from the other side, so I was just more sensitive for the second waxing. What I mean is that it actually hurt more on the second side. So with tears in my eyes I crawl back into fetal position until the pain subsides. But don't be fooled, my misadventures weren't over yet. For I had made the mistake of using some cheap ass cold wax strips from the supermarket. Meaning I still had a bunch of that sticky residue on my abused armpits. I should also mention that there was some very minor bleeding. Now how do you get this sticky residue off? That's right: baby oil. Let me tell you, that tiny wounds and oil are not pleasant together. On the contrary even, that shit burns. So I'm standing there, oil soaked cotton pads in hand, tears in my eyes, regretting every single life decision that led me up to that moment. And you know the best part about all this? It wasn't even a good waxing job. My goddamn skin wasn't even clean. I suffered through agony for something that wasn't even good.
This might sound disgusting: you should use cooking oil instead of baby oil because it has perfumes in it. And if you sweat a lot put a light layer of baby powder on your armpits.
I have done it before but I would end up just hurting myself. My skin would be so irritated after. I wouldn’t pull hard enough and the wax was probably still too hot
Can use lemon and brown sugar as a scrub 2 times a week. And at night don’t use any deodorant to go to bed . Also get the dove lightening deodorant it really works
I've been getting my armpits waxed professionally all my life, so I thought doing it at home would be a breeze. Imagine my surprise when I realized doing it urself is 100x harder ☠️☠️☠️ the wax literally got stuck in the hair and I couldn't get it off. Painful as shit! Hopefully I'll get better with practice though.
@@angelinemarina my partner has super soft armpit hair while mine is rough and thick. you made me wonder now if I'd shave as often if mine were as soft and the social pressure didn't exist

Thank you for the tips
You should exfoliate a little first, it will help prevent any ingrown hairs
It’s not the safest thing to do. You’re body systemically absorbs lidocaine ( which can interfere with heart rhythm and certain heart medicines.) You need only a small amount , it’s not meant to be sprayed on like that. Plus it can be really irritating.

Put coconut oil on before deodorant and over time it will lighten your underarms. It works for me. Look it up
Great tips thanks 😊
It even works as deodorant. Doesn't last too long or make you dry, but it neutralizes the odour.
I used to wax my pits but it never lasted long and I'd get ingrown hairs. I ended up getting laser hair removal, the results are so worth it!

me too. if anything they’ll be a little sore the next day but it’s not too bad
The hair are prickly so that might me the cause of the itchy feeling

So with tears in my eyes I crawl back into fetal position until the pain subsides. But don't be fooled, my misadventures weren't over yet. For I had made the mistake of using some cheap ass cold wax strips from the supermarket. Meaning I still had a bunch of that sticky residue on my abused armpits. I should also mention that there was some very minor bleeding.
Now how do you get this sticky residue off? That's right: baby oil. Let me tell you, that tiny wounds and oil are not pleasant together. On the contrary even, that shit burns. So I'm standing there, oil soaked cotton pads in hand, tears in my eyes, regretting every single life decision that led me up to that moment.
And you know the best part about all this? It wasn't even a good waxing job. My goddamn skin wasn't even clean. I suffered through agony for something that wasn't even good.
This might sound disgusting: you should use cooking oil instead of baby oil because it has perfumes in it. And if you sweat a lot put a light layer of baby powder on your armpits.
@@thegirlnobodyreallylikes4925 Thanks for the tips, but I think I'll just stick to shaving
@@trashcant69 haha same here. I only wax my legs and shave my armpits.
I prefer to epilate mine, it works amazingly for me, but I know everyone is different
I’m planning to buy one soon 💓
Love the small strip technique your the first person I have seen do it 😁
I’ve never done it because I’m a wimp! But I kinda want to try now. 😂
No, I never got any armpit hair which is odd especially because I'm all Italian.
This is amazing you’re so lucky 🍀
@@SewnSeamlessly my legs and arms more than make up for it! I shave them everyday while I'm in the shower, otherwise I'd look like a Yeti!! Lol!
@@julietteoscaralphanovember2223 lol crap. But I’d take the leg hair over armpit hair though
Just use your Intuition or a straight razor with a generous amount of shave cream.
I shaved my armpit and thanked god been shaving for 20years my armpit still white.
That’s is great for you 😊
What’s the point of this comment??????
Okay but how do you know which way the hair grows like my girl business seems to grow every which way 🤣
The way the hairs point usually works out for me.
I have done it before but I would end up just hurting myself. My skin would be so irritated after. I wouldn’t pull hard enough and the wax was probably still too hot
How to lighten the dark armpit? Can you give some tips regarding that?
Can use lemon and brown sugar as a scrub 2 times a week. And at night don’t use any deodorant to go to bed . Also get the dove lightening deodorant it really works
I use an epilator, it’s much easier. ❤️
your body your choice! but remember hairlessness isn't a neeeeed
I agree thanks you.
Try the turmeric mask under your arms it will completely take the hyperpigmentation away
Great tips 💕 thanks 😊
Yeah I was at home , always. Thanks for reminding me I need to do it this weekend
I hate how it leaves like that darker area after shaving/waxing, it’s so annoying
I've been getting my armpits waxed professionally all my life, so I thought doing it at home would be a breeze. Imagine my surprise when I realized doing it urself is 100x harder ☠️☠️☠️ the wax literally got stuck in the hair and I couldn't get it off. Painful as shit! Hopefully I'll get better with practice though.
Are you using soft wax?
Hi, what dove deodorant are you talking about? Am interested on buy one.
Dove even tone
No I shave but I want to try waxing cuz I think it removes ingrown hairs but I’m too lazy to do the melting the wax and wait for the temperature😩
You're so pretty🙂
All mammals have hair. Why should we remove ours when it is so obviously painful, time consuming, and often expensive?
Idk sometimes it’s fun and I hate the way armpit hair feels. I thinks it’s just the texture
@@user-rp1cw6mr8i interesting that men don't seem to have a similar disliking for it.
@@angelinemarina I think it’s gross on men too. Think what you want and so will I 💀
@@angelinemarina my partner has super soft armpit hair while mine is rough and thick. you made me wonder now if I'd shave as often if mine were as soft and the social pressure didn't exist
