It's not about hygiene LOL. Men don't shave their armpits or legs or crotches and no one calls them unhygienic.
Honestly, during the winter I rarely shave my legs. It's freaking cold and the more coverage my skin has the better. :-)

Ten years ago, Julia Roberts turned heads at the premiere for her film "Notting Hill" when onlookers realized that the pretty woman hadn't shaved her armpits.
Needless to say, it didn't exactly catch on.
But just this week, paparazzi caught the 42-year-old actress at the beach reprising her 1999 look with a smile.
She told The Daily Mail, "The secret ingredient of beauty is being happy. And maybe a little eye cream." Of course that means, according to Roberts, armpit shaving is optional.
On the other hand, we have women like Kim Kardashian who proudly swear on full body laser hair removal -- a searingly painful procedure -- to tame their body hair. She told Allure in August, "I am Armenian, so of course I am obsessed with laser hair removal! Arms, bikini, legs, underarms ... my entire body is hairless."
There are plenty of reason for women to shave their armpits, some practical and some societal, but not many people flaunt their body hair as proudly as Roberts. Some women say it's more comfortable, some would rather not have their image dictated by popular culture while some may just not feel like shaving every day.

It is better to shave your pubic area (along with your armpits and legs). It's cleaner, especially during your monthly period time. It's better hygiene and helps eliminate odors. Also, guys like it better shaved. But the more important reason is your own personal cleanliness.
P>S. i find you very disrespectful and rude and immature.
Most guys like shaved girls because of porn. But let me tell you, if a guy is about to get laid by a beautiful woman, he won't tell her "Nope, sorry!" if she doesn't shave every thing down there. You lead a very sheltered life it seems.
like dont you know your science?? GOSH! stay in school.
BUT!! did you know that the ingredients in the products that are dangerous, are the ones that help control the sweating. Your body needs to sweat.
So its actually quite dangerous if the deodorant sticks to the hair. Because the deodorant is under the arm close to the lymph nodes and it can be absorbed into the body and that could cause health problems such as cancer. And having hairy armpit makes the risk higher.
Now.. if you would of known your science.. you would of known all of that..
I think it was a wast of my time talking to you.... so if you dont mind. i would like to end the conversation..
P.S. your really. Really. Really ignorant...
You don't have to be Sherlock to know that deodorant may cause cancer. Which is why I don't wear it, because I BATHE if I for one second think I stink.
You doing a kick google search and copying & pasting a paragraph from an article does not make YOU less ignorant.
OH DEAR!!
You must find me THAT interesting. And what are you doing.. Profile-stalking me. You like replying and disagreeing with ever question me and you comment on???
1st I thought you were ignorant.. but now your also pathetic!. Talking about how I copyed an pasted an article from google... What is there for me to copy and past.. To see if deodorant may cause cancer... Again.. im a college graduate. Clever enough to get that off the top of my head.. (you'll understand once you graduate high school.. which I don't think your capable of)
And also.. Theres many different ways to abbreviated YOU ARE>> and your happens to be one of them..Again.. you'll understand once you graduate high school.... And..speak for yourself.. you might wanna scroll up and see all the misspelled and improper grammar you used.
NOW lets try this again.. GOOOD BYEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't read your whole essay you just wrote, too much for me thanks, but I did glance and see that you said that you CAN spell it "your", correct, it is spelled that way, but NOT when you are spelling out "YOU ARE", which is how you used it.
If I so happen to click on a question that you have already answered, please know that just because you are throwing out obnoxious answers as I am sure you do a lot, that will not stop me from replying to them. Thanks :)
Oh, and by the way, you have said that you are a "college graduate" about 10 times already, usually when one has to throw that down peoples throat all the time, it's not true. Beauty School doesn't count.
And 2nd, their not obnoxious answers there called my opinion.
Just to let you know, an opinion is personal view.. Which means there are no wrong answers, and I dont care if you think otherwise.. it's not like im trying to impress you or anything.. Like come on.. WHO ARE YOU?? (lmao)
YEAH STAY IN SCHOOL.!! UNEDUCATED HOPELESS PATHETIC PERSON...
(I made it short for you this time.. since you cant read long responses.. or you just don't know how to??)
By the way, you are not witty nor are you funny, so please stop trying :)
Mypinkslippers, I am sorry. You have much more patience than I do. I applaud you for standing up for what YOU believe, and for having at least enough sense to realize that she doesn't have any.
Arabianqueen is cleary that: A queen.
And, no doubt, a 13-year-old troll.
Shave it all ladies.
It's not because of porn. I just don't like hair.
So what may look nice on men wouldnt look as great on a women. Right?.
Men have facial hair, It wouldn't look attractive if women had it to. Men are more muscluar and tought, a women is more feminit.
Women wear make up, and dresses, and get their hair done... [DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE OR SHALL I CONTINUE?]
And it's natural hellooo! women dont have naturally hairy faces or anything. your just used to seeing women shaved and are brainwashed to hate your own natural body or think its gross...and by the way "feminit" isn't a word..thats not a misspelling either because it's not even close..
