underarms
Deodorant application zones
The underarms are the areas beneath where the arms meet the torso—the armpits.
The term appears most often in contexts of hygiene and grooming: underarm deodorant, underarm hair.
As an adjective, underarm describes something positioned or applied there, or in sports, a throwing motion where the arm stays below shoulder level: an underarm serve.
