Girls, why do you shave your armpits- when most guys do not bother to shave? Social norm?

Hair harbors bacteria and stench. I feel cleaner without armpit hair.
@plinkplonk But no woman uses that theory to shave her head. She just washes her hair.

@bijouxbroussard Gosh, I wish that made sense. The majority of sweat glands, are found in large numbers on the soles of the feet, the palms, the forehead and cheeks, and in the armpits. Not your head.
@plinkplonk You're right, that was a side thought, although people [b]do[/b] perspire in their heads. Actually, the OP's point was that it's considered a hygiene issue only when [b]women[/b] don't shave, yet men have a comparable number of sweat glands, and generally, more body hair.

@bijouxbroussard Oh, my ... I didn't even GET the point of the post. I was just answering from my perspective. Thanks for clarifying ☺
