I'm 13 years almost 14 and I have horrible hair on my stomach most of it turned blonde from the sun but my 'snail trail' stays black (I'm olive tone and dark haired) I tried waxing it off but a week later it grew back even darker and thicker, apparently shaving makes it worse so I don't know what else to do >.<
I'm 15 years old and have hair on my stomach. I've heard it been referred to as a 'treasure trail' or something? I was in a 2 piece bathing suit last year and my cousin pointed out my hairy stomach and told me she had one too but she shaves it. I decided to shave mine and I loved it. It eventually grew back thicker and I was so self conscious. I shaved it again a few months ago and it grew back. I've only shaved it twice but I hate the way I look. I go to the pool and see all these other girls my age and older with smooth hairless stomachs and I feel so bad. I wear tankinies all the time now. I feel disgusting and manish. I always think other people notice and talk about me. Should I wax it? I don't know if my mom would let me. I hate my hairy tummy!! I'm scared I'll look like this forever.
Ok so I am a 17 year old girl and I, like you wonderful ladies, am hairy. I have hair on my upper arms, belly (meaning my ENTIRE belly, not just below my belly button), in between my boobs, on my boobs, lower back, upper back, and butt. Oh and i have the normal pubic hair and leg hair and i shave my forearms. I still remember that fateful day back when i was 13 and i got invited to a friend's pool party and panicked because i had a teeny tiny little bit of hair on my belly. Being the dumb little girl that i was, i shaved it. God i regret that. I continued to shave it over and over until it was a full fledged forest and i've been pretty fricking self conscious of it and was deathly afraid of people ever seeing it. Up until recently i was shaving, but now i started waxing my tummy and it hurts, reaaaally fricking bad but i just sucked it up and kept on waxing because i thought i was a freak and disgusting. I was always jealous of those other girls that have absolutely nooo hair on ANY part of their bodies and could flaunt their beautiful skin. And i'm seeing now that my fellow hairy ladies were feeling the same way (which, by the way, it's SO amazing to know i'm not the only one with a hairy body). I had actually started complaining about my hair issues to my best friend and she confessed that she too has a hairy tummy. She even showed me and to my amazement she looked exactly like i did when i didn't wax or shave. I also noticed that one of my good friends had a hairy tummy when she was wearing a mid drift shirt that exposed a little bit of stubble on her lower belly. The funny thing is, on both of these girls, their hair didn't even gross me out!!!! Only mine ever did! And since there is OBVIOUSLY a bunch of us that posses hair on places of our bodies that we wish we didn't, then it's actually really common. I think we aren't noticing it on these "perfect" girls because they either shave/wax/nair/etc. it off or it's actually really not even noticeable unless it's on our own bodies!! Seriously, we need to just stop being so critical of ourselves. Doing so is only giving others the right to judge us and tell us we're less perfect than we are. And to those of you that are scared your boyfriend/future boyfriend(s) may or may not still love you if he found out about your hairy little secret, he really will not care. My boyfriend has touched my butt and my tummy and he doesn't care at all. Not once has he ever told me that my hair bothered him and he still continues to stroke my body (sorry if that sounds weird, but i need to reassure my fellow woman haha). And he has hair on his body too! And he never stresses about it, so i don't think it's fair that just because i'm a girl that i should stress about it. We are all human. We are all imperfect. And having that said, we should all love ourselves. I have now made the decision to stop waxing because one, it hurts like a mother, and two, i really don't enjoy the irritated skin i get after. Now, i am in no way saying that waxing or shaving is wrong. If it makes you more self confident and feel more sexy, then do it! I just hope that after reading this, you can look down at yourself and see how truly beautiful you are. Nothing that is natural is ugly. And what's more natural than hair???
I wouldn't recommend Laser Hair Removal because you may not get the results you wanted and it might just be a rip off. I also hear its pretty painful. Don't shave unless you want it to grow back darker and a bit thicker. Waxing enh... it can also be expensive and painful and it may slow down the hair process a bit, but it will still grow back and to the same thickness pretty much too.
I have the same problem on my stomach and butt and even a tiny amount around the nipples. For now I just bleach the stomach or "happy trail".
I heard about a product called No! No! now I can't really explain it so here is the website https://www.trynono.com/o2/index.aspx?&referrer=trynono.com
I think it might be worth it, no pain, no waste of money and it reduces the amount of hair that grows back, and the thickness. I am planning to try it so I'll get back to you guys to tell you the real deal.
I hope this helps, even a bit.
i thought i was the only one with this problem but now looking through all these comments its made me realise that its not just me thats quite over protective of my body, i hadn't really thought much of this as i've only noticed this over the past 10-12 months, last year i visited america and was concious of my weight, i havent really been the type who'd show off my body but now im definately more aware of being covered all of the time, but in the summer it gets too hot but im afraid to get my body out so i just usually wear a vest top and shorts, about 6months ago, a person in my class realised that i had back hair as i bent down to pick up my pen, i've gotten abuse ever since not just from him from older years now and yes it upsets me. i have hair on my back, stomach and my bum. i have no clue about what to do about this, im going to visit the doctors about this soon and im not totally sure what i have to have done? im definately prepared to have laser treatment but i've heard that contraceptive pills or some other type of pill can help to prevent the hair but im not totally sure whether this helps or not? if the contraceptive pills or the other type of pill work then i will post it on here to help people with what im going through at the moment, im so glad i've found this website to share how i feel about my body and people understand me, alrightttttttttttt im out.
OMg! This whole time I thought I was one of the very few who had hair problems. I have hairs on my upper lip, chin, some of the peach fuzz on my face but some are dark, on my belly, around my areola area, butt, arms practically my whole body. Everytime I'm about to hangout with my bf I have to do tweeze hairs, use an epilator, bleach, shave. It's a mission. Sometimes I wonder how am I going to continue hiding it from him when we live together cause some of these hairs grow over night. I did the laser treatment on my upper lips a few years ago and the hairs grew back again. I shaved my upper lip today and cut myself. I had to tell mmy bf the cut on my lip was a pimple I popped. : (
