I agree that skin sensitivity probably plays a role as well in addition to how you choose to remove body hair. Personally, for me I use different methods of hair removal for different parts of my body.

That's interesting. I kind of wish that I could wax my under-arm hair because the results last a lot longer (and the hair grows back finer, apparently). Unfortunately, waxing irritates my under-arm skin more than waxing.

Hi, lady here, I shave my arm pits on a regular basis (every 5 days or so) and it does not itch or irritate my skin. In fact, that is probably the case for most women. I think what matters more is the method by which you choose to depilate.

What a narrow way of thinking. Every performer is different whether male or female. Female comics are not trying fit into a male mold when they perform.Female comics are representing themselves and being able to represent your own unique observations is not an inherently male quality. I'm glad that most people do not…

Thank you. Your comment was really helpful. Even I'm a neuroscience grad student, I find most mainstream articles about scientific discoveries really maddening in their vagueness (except for IO9 and NYTimes Science articles, which tend to be a bit more detailed than and way more accurate than Jezebel).

Sheesh! So many people on this post seem to have taken Laura's blog post a little too personally seems. There IS a happy medium between looking like a slob who is only vaguely familiar with the concept of proper hygiene and dressing to the nines. I say this as a science graduate student ( i.e. limited wardrobe…

I was going to say the same thing. For comparison, Michelle Williams did the same thing when she was 15 and she has stated that being emancipated gave her an advantage over other child actors because she could work longer hours.

To be fair, Dov Charney has always been against the use of sweatshops in apparel manufacturing and the trend in American companies to outsource a lot of the manufacturing business to countries where there is less emphasis on fair wages and safe working conditions. Part of the appeal of his brand is that his employees…

I'm going to guess "no" considering that he referred to Don as Betty's "loutish ex-husband" who lied about his identity.

I clicked on this page because I thought the cover photo was a power tool.

If I hadn't read the caption I could have sworn that was a picture of Emma Stone. I think it is mostly because Amanda's most distinctive feature is her eyes, which oddly seems very subdued in this ad.

I caught the tail end of this episode last night and a little bit during the commercial during the Supernatural breaks. Still, I thought it was a decent episode although it did seem a bit over the top. However, with the recent Canadian rape case in which the girl did kill herself after relentless bullying from her…

I am not a huge Beyonce fan, but I was starting to like her this year. I even defended her decision to lipsync at the inaugural (not to anyone in particular, just in my mind). But this whole SuperBowl picture fiasco has made me reconsider. B is a hugely popular, successful and talented singer who has tons of very…

You and me both. I was very confused until I read this post and clicked on the link.

#COTD Hilarious!

This has a similar feel as a Wes Anderson film.

TV shows that I have or currently am obsessed with are: Doctor Who,

Good to know. I was unaware of that.

LOL! It's all right, I know where you coming from.

I suspect most women fear looking like some overly-muscled female version of Arnold Schwarzenegger. But yeah, most people seem generally uninformed about what types of exercise are most effective for weight loss.
