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?

Yeah, same thing happened to me around that age...  My hair seemed to stop after puberty... but then a couple years later it just started to grow again, and it seems like it will never stop!  lol

Up until I started Birth Control (2 years ago) when I was 22 years old, I never had a lot of hair.   After being on birth control.. my hair everywhere started darkening.. becoming thicker.. and spreading out!!!!!   My crotch hair is now growing completely down my legs.. I haven't worn shorts or a bathing suit in 2 years  :(   it makes me so sad...  It wouldn't be so much of a problem if I wasn't getting ingrown hairs...  my crotch area and stomach are scarred from ingrown hairs :(   I have spent hundreds of dollars on creams and products to get rid of the hair and ingrown hairs, but nothing has worked....   This cannot be due to a male hormone imbalance because my Birth Control gives me more FEMALE hormones (right?).....  So, I don't think it's a hormone imbalance... NO ONE in my family has this much hair; I have more hair than the MEN in my family  :(   why is this happening to me?  I feel like I have no one to talk to about  it  :(   I'm going to get Laser Hair treatment as soon as I have enough money...

I was always told to wax eventually after a year or so hair becomes thinner and sparse, i know when i wax my underarms they are gone three months and pubic hair is just as course as under arm, it could always be an option.

Hey, don't get so freaked out by it.  It doesn't mean you're less feminine.  a LOT of guys, myself included, like to see a little hair.  I'm especially attracted to women with thick eyebrows and fine, long "sideburns".

Anywhere in the ::ahem:: under regions is just more of a turn on.

Sure it ***** if you're a teen and being made fun of, but just remember you're going to be that much more attractive to a lot of guys than those girls are.  Work through it as best you can, and know that you are beautiful to a lot of men.  

We're all different, we're all the same!
