Can I use hair removal creme like nair on my arms? I'm very self conscious about my arm hair. do you shave it, wax it? should I just bleach it? please help :)

Never bleach it. Bleach is really bad for your skin.
Waxing is very painful. But you could. You could shave if you wanted.

In my opinion I don't think you should worry about it. It's just arm hair and most people don't shave it and it's not a big deal. I don't think you should worry about it.

You can use nair or veet both work well shaving can irritate the skin really bad (well for me it did)

Ok, thanks everybody. I never wear sleeveless dresses or tank tops but I guess I have to embrace it.

Omg I use to use nair, worst mistake ever, no matter how hard I scrubbed my arms smelled awful also it irritated my skin, I let them grow out finally and really don't notice it at all.

Ahh I understand how you feel about your arm hair. I always wear a cardigan even during the summer when it's burning because I am so self-conscious about them. (My arms are hairier than most guys I've met. It doesn't help that I'm naturally dark haired. A friend of mine once bluntly asked why I didn't just shave them and then I got even more self-conscious.)

I have waxed them a few times with the nair strips. It depends on your skin whether it'll irritate or not. I just tried epilating my arm hair and so far so good... Except for the pain that comes with epilators.

Tiffani, these people have no idea what they are talking about, waxing is the way to go, it WILL NOT leave red bumps, and if it does, they last about 10 minutes at most. If you use hot wax strips barely hurt- and that is coming from someone with VERY thick, dark
arm hair... Wax it, trust me, I don't like it when people are misinformed.

I use Veet hair removal cream, I can put it on then use the sponge provided and all my hair comes off and stays off for a few weeks:) it's painless, and I have really sensitive skin and it was fine on mine:)

I used to wax mine because I have very dark long arm hair, now I just buzz mine (yes. Like a guys buzzcut on their head, but on my arms) so its short but not gone and since its short its less noticeable.
