You might be surprised to find that a recent survey by MANSCAPED™ found that 68% of men do groom their armpits. On the other hand, 21% of men don't groom their armpits because they simply don't know how. With this in mind, let's explore the world of men's grooming from an under-the-arm point-of-view.
The skin covering your armpits is loose, wrinkly, and well, just isn't conducive to shaving.

China. China isn't fully westernized, so Chinese notions of beauty differ greatly than American ones (which is refreshing). In China, underarm or leg hair is nothing to be worried about; body hair is considered completely natural and acceptable in their culture. As a result, hair removal just isn't very popular there.

Underarm Hair And Hygiene: Bacteria cause the odor from sweat, and the bacteria can multiply in the damp area of armpit hair – shaving the armpits results in less space for bacteria to breed, and increased effectiveness from your natural antiperspirant deodorant products.
While shaving the armpits won't make you sweat less, it can help reduce the appearance of sweat stains and body odor. It can also improve the effectiveness of antiperspirants. Having hairy armpits plugs up sweat glands, making them less effective.
It helps to regulate body temperature by trapping heat and sweat, and it also acts as a barrier against bacteria. In terms of hygiene, underarm hair is not necessarily unsanitary. Nevertheless, many people still choose to remove their underarm hair, for cosmetic or hygienic reasons.
