im 14 years old and i have hairs on my stomach. i hate it very much. im really embarrassed about this. i can never wear a bikini because of this also the stretch marks on the side of my stomach they seem to be getting worse. i dont really know what to do. It feels like im the only one like this. i see other girls in the pools and they look perfectly fine. and how i wish i had that kind of body. somebody please help me fix this problem. i want to be a beautiful girl with no worrys about having hairs in my stomach or having stretch marks. i also worry because i think my boyfriend wont like it.
I'm sad to hear about so many people with low self esteem from looking NORMAL. It's perfectly normal to have hair there, most females do. I'm of European descent and am pretty hairy. haha. I would say I am more hairy than my boyfriend is, though I guess I'm lucky enough to have blonde hair. But it's nothing to want to hide or be embarrassed about. There are SO many other worse things that could be, than to be worried about some hair.
Its Normal . . obviosly basically everyone has it here. and those girls in magazines are just computerized. i learned it from 17 magazine. I read on a website that using a pumice stone after using soap in a shower will weaken hair folicles over time. i think thats the safest way to go. dont shave. but if you want to, go ahead, it will make the hair thicker and darker. i have hair on my chest and boobs. and they cause me to have ingrown hairs. it *****. but your not alone :)
Hi...I have suffered from thick black pubic like hairs around my belly button since i was about 18. They go all the way from my belly button downwards. Recently similar hairs started to appear around my nipples, first one or two and now there are at least 5 of these thick black hairs on each side. I am terrified that this problem will keep going. I currently use hair removal creme but find it irritating that after using the hair removal on my stomach it still feels prickly, like it doesn't quite get all the way down to the root. This is sooo frustrating as I'm terrified my new boyfriend will at some point run his hands over my stomach and feel the hairs or prickles!!
I don't know what caused this and I am unsure if perhaps waxing would be better?.. I know that waxing around my belly button downwards will be ok but does anyone know if it is safe to wax around the nipples? This is amazing that others have the same problem. I have cried over this many times! Reading this has actually made me feel alot better :)
Well ladies I am so happy to know that I'm now alone. I also have a " hair problem" I am 23 soon and have a little girl and a wonderful man but I cant stand my body. I have tried to talk to my boyfriend..Shawn.. about it but I just cry and cry , cant say a word. he asks me " where are all the razors going" ..what cant I say?Are sex life has virtually stopped ow can I feel like a sexy woman when I have body hair?? I miss my life, I miss my body. I have hair on my face now and have to shave it EVERY DAY! my tummy arms FEET!! I cant even ware nice shoes.I have hear that electrolysis works and is much cheaper then lazer removal. Its almost like even as I sit here I can feel the hairs all over my body...I make my self sick. If I get the electrolysis I will post back .

Oh I had no idea so many women had the same problem! This is very reassuring ^__^. At the moment I'm going through laser treatment for removing the hairs in those areas permanently. Because of my brown skin I need more sittings than usual. I think it is the most wonderful decision i made (as opposed to shaving and waxing). Laser treatment doesn't hurt much, and after 8 sittings, one each month, the hairs are permanently banished! I'm having my third sitting next week, and already the growth of the hairs have slowed drastically.
I'm 17 and this problem has been emotionally traumatic since i was 14. I avoided intimacy and even now I've never had a boyfriend because I'm terrified of anyone knowing about this problem. Also, I love dancing and it was awful having to restrict my movement because of my fear that someone might see the hair. None of my friends have the same problem and the only family in my life is my father. But when I finally told him, he was very understanding and took a lot of effort to find a good doctor to treat me.The procedure only costs 100 euros a sitting.
Although my previous attempts of shaving, which led to ingrown hairs have left scarring on my tummy (I get scars VERY easily), I feel enormous relief that the hairs are almost gone and it's only my third sitting.
Hope this helps ^_________________^
