Armpits? Yeah, armpits.

[Lewellen]

18 months ADT and my armpit hair has slowly, but finally, gone 😫.True, it's not a dramatic loss compared to the sacred memory of a hard erection! But a symptom is a symptom, and they all seem to have complications.

After the hair had mostly become a memory, I started having a strange sensation in there where it used to be. A sensation I'd never had before.

My skin was... Adhering to itself. 😬

It just feels so damn creepy!

I have to raise my arm, and with the other hand pull the two sides of my pit apart. My pits aren't sticky, like with deodorant, or otherwise gross in any way once you allow for the visible shift in the landscape. 😄

It would be a simple thing to ask for advice from my partner who goes both ways in the pit department, and would almost certainly suggest powdering them. But I don't want to explain to her the strong lingering memories of the olfactory aura of significantly older female relatives. I loved my grandmothers but I will NOT smell like them!😱

So baby powder, cornstarch, anything with a scent at all, are off the table, and far away from my pits!

And I'd hate to think of the slime running down my sides if sweat where to get mixed up with anything powdery. Gives me shivers 🫨

Okay gents, swing me some of that wisdom of experience! And comic suggestions are just as welcome as serious ones. Maybe more so 😂👍

Never had much pit hair or arm and leg hair to begin with so losing it was not a horrible thing. My wife likes me with soft skin. Oddly my "girlfriends" enjoy it too. They enjoy me wearing a tank top at dinner without having to see my pit hair. I get it and if the women like it I am good with it. Oddly enough anything but gel deodorant irritates my pits. MO pointed out I don't have to wear deodorant because BO all but stops with loss of T. Made the girls do "pit smell test" Results: unanimously no odor

Yep havent bought ban roll on in 5 years......but loss of hair has proven it has a use....to help cool us off.......

Same sticky feeling. Can't wait to get off this stuff.

No issues with armpit but I find the same effect with my ears. When I get up in the morning my ears are stuck to my head and I have to pull them off. I just assumed it was something mixing with my sweat.

no arm pit hair , no body door …. Skin kinda sticky at times .. facial skin kinda smooth and dry with low to no average tear duct activity. This is me, and from what I’ve seen on the group, kinda standard with ADT on the guys here. Welcome to the crowd brother, considering the other ADT possibilities , no biggie by comparison. 😁

Lost most of my body hair almost immediately, but arm and chest hair are slowly growing back. Body odor not completely gone but I’m less pungent according to Scruffy’s “friends”.

No sticky skin or pits to report, but prednisone has made my skin as thin as cheap parchment.

I’d recommend using one of the following products to reduce your stickiness while avoiding the grandma’s powder odor:

- Silicon spray, for that slippery feeling with a tech smell

- Avocado oil, this versatile lubricant is great for vegans

- 10-40 engine oil, or WD-40, both products will provide a manly man feel and smell. The engine oil in particular gives off a little smoke during exercise

- Honey Girl personal lubricant. The manufacturer’s website says that although the product is designed for women, it should work on pit lips as well

Hope this helps

Six months of ADT (eligard) was enough to permanently remove my armpit hair. I've been off ADT for six years. Lately I've been experiencing atrocious arm-pit BO. Does that mean my T has suddenly skyrocketed? My PSA has taken a significant bump up recently after remaining well behaved. I get a Pylarify PET scan next week. Wish me luck. I'm also claustrophobic and so not looking forward to it.
