hair around areola, stomach, bikini line...when does it stop!
Does anyone else out there have hair around their areolas..not just a few...a lot. What about hair on their stomach..what some people call the "love line". I am SICK of hair..I don't know what to do! I even have hair "few" on my chest and shoulders. I was told I have too much male hormone....don't believe that then I also wouldn't have a problem being sexually active. I have no disire in that area. Is there another person like this out there? Please help. How do I calm the hair growth? Wipe it out?
I've read all of the comments and am trying to figure out why the ladies are so uncomfortable about having hairy arms, hairy lower back, bikini line, and the treasure trail from the belly button going down. I would rather be with a natural hairy lady than one who is as hairless as a 10 year old little girl.
Be proud of your bodies ladies and don't fall victim to the pressures of so called beauty experts and hair removal companies. The people who make fun of you are idiots. You're hot and you're beautiful just the way you are!!!

Same exact issues as everybody above! The areas that annoy me the most are my back, my stomach, my bikini area, my upper lip and my armpits. I paid $120.00 for laser hair removal for my upper lip. So far, I recommend saving up money for laser hair removal. I'm on my 4th treatment out of 6 treatments and I've noticed a reduction in both growth and coarseness on my upper lip area. I am very pleased with the results. I hope to save up enough money to get laser on my stomach area as well because so far nothing has given me the results I want.
There is nothing to be embarrased about! Every single girl has hair problems! I'm veryyyy fair skinned and have extremely dark black hair all over from head to toe. I only shave or wax when I need to, the hairs grow back too quickly as it is. For example ill shave my legs in the mornin and by mid afternoon they are stubbly again. Your best bet would prob be waxing, hurts like hells but totally worth it. Or invest in a good razor.
I'm 21 too and boys do not care about body hair one little bit. And if one does make a hurtful comment, thats his problem not yours. My boyfriend doesnt care about body hair and when he runs his hand over my leg and feels stubble he doesnt care. Its a natural thing. Even he hates his own body hair.
Hair is a part of life whether we all like it or not. NORMAL woman have hair everywhere. These hairless celebrities pay thousands for waxing, laser hair removal etc etc. Its a full time job being hair free.Everyone feels self conscious about having hair in places they shouldnt, even people who make fun of other people probably have stubbly legs!
There are a lot of hair removal options, whether its DIY waxing and shaving or getting it professionally done. My advice it never ever wax the nipple area, that is sensitive skin and may get easily damaged, pluck the most noticably hairs out and other hairs which you think are noticably are usually invisible to everyone else. The stomach area can be waxed also but that will also wax off the small invisible hairs and the dark ones which COULD make it worse. Again I say use a tweezers for the worst hairs. Upper lip should be waxed when it gets bad but inbetween waxes just pluck the darkest hairs out. Eyebrows can be waxed or plucked, for DIY facial waxing use veet facial wax strips. Shave the legs with a sharp, good quality razor. If you have very coarse dark hair mens razor are better because they are designed to cut stronger hairs and will leave your legs smoother. Only shave the part of the leg that will be on show (lower leg for skirts etc.) Underarms you can shave but this can leave a dark shadow, waxing gets rid of this shadow and only takes 5 mins. And finally, bikini area. When not needed, do not shave.. be natural! Invest in good razors and special small razors are available now especially made for the bikini area. Waxing is really good for the bikini and the pain is worth it! Always moisturise the shaved areas to keep them soft. And when shaving I find instead of using shave gel, hair conditioner works 100 times better as the razors glides through it and leaves the skin softer.
Never be afraid to be hairy! All women are :)

i googled stuff about this and found this page. what a big help it's been. i never realised there were so many other women with the same issues! growing up i was always the odd one out at school, all of my friends have normal hair growth and i used to wonder why i had to shave my legs so much more often than they did. my mum didn't help either, she assumed i was like her so she didn't understand when i broke down and told her about the hair on my stomach, breasts, upper arms, thighs, bum etc. i'm 21 now and the problem is no easier. i'm a chunky girl so covering up is compulsory anyway, i haven't worn shorts or a t shirt since i was about 12 and i haven't been swimming since i was 15 since i'm too embarrassed to be seen in a swimsuit due to the hair on my thighs and arms. it ***** but i guess i've just begun to accept it as a way of life. i'm not like other women so i just stay quiet and stay hidden. i don't allow myself to get close to anyone because i'm embarrassed and ashamed about it. i'm a very private person anyway so none of my friends know and none of my family other than my mum and she doesn't understand what it's like. i turn 21 next month and i honestly didn't think i'd have made it this far. depression has plagued me since my late teens and bouts of suicidal depression come and go. there's a guy in my life now and i really adore him but i'm still too worried to let him see me for who i really am (hair and all... i guess) he's very sweet and would probably not mind too much but i still can't bring myself to tell him or let him see. i pluck, wax and shave the hairs but it's no use, a day or so later and they're back. thick, dark and spiky. i hate it. i can't afford laser removal or electrolysis so it looks like i'm stuck with them, but i honestly don't know how i'll make it through life this way. permanently unhappy with my body and seemingly powerless to change it. in recent years i've become more and more introverted, i have no social life any more, i rarely leave the house unless it's for college classes or meetings, i just sit in all day reading or writing or listening to music. i feel like i'm wasting the best years of my life but i don't know what to do. seeing these posts has given me a little strength though, knowing that i'm not alone makes me feel better but doesn't solve any of our problems. stay strong girls, we're all in this together i suppose.
hey guys, don't be scared of waxing, it does NOT make your hair grow back worse. In fact, with time it makes it grow back sparser. I use an epilator on my stomach, and I mean around my belly button and higher. I pluck the long hairs around my areola, and I bleach my arm hair whenever it gets too dark (so every 1 and a half months). I pluck my eyebrows and upper lip every other day, and get them waxed maybe every two months. I shave my legs 2 times a week.
Hair isn't anything to be embarrassed about, you may be surprised by your boyfriend's reaction if you let him see it! It turns out mine shaves the sides of his stomach because HE'S embarrassed. So girls, don't be. Just deal.
PS: epilating the first time will hurt, but it's easier after and well worth it. Plus the more you get waxed professionally, the easier it becomes to do it yourself at home, cheap.
Good Luck!
