Women with hirsutism grow hair on their faces, breasts and stomachs. This can cause great distress. The hair grows because they have abnormally high levels of the ‘masculinising’ androgen hormones. Androgens travel around the body in the blood stream, and a key way of treating hirsutism is to reduce the level of these androgens.
Data just published in Phytotherapy Research shows that drinking two cups of spearmint tea a day for five days could reduce the level of androgens in women with hirsutism.
“Current therapies use either oral contraceptives to suppress androgen production, or medications such as spironolactone that prevent the body responding to androgen – but this study shows that spearmint could be a good natural alternative for women who have mild symptoms,” says researcher Mehmet Numan Tamer who acts as spokesperson for the research team. The research was carried out at the Suleyman Demirel University, Isparta, Turkey.
In the trials the herbal tea was made by pouring a cup (250ml) of boiling water over 1 heaped teaspoon (5g) of dried leaves, and leaving it for 5 to 10 mins.
The team decided to study the effects of spearmint on hirsutism because of previous reports that extracts of the spearmint plant (Mentha spicata Labiatae) could reduce libido in men. A possible reason for this reduced libido could have been that spearmint was reducing their androgen level. Other research had shown that these extracts reduced androgen levels in rats.
“We now need to do further studies to test the reliability of this finding, and to see the extent to which the reduced androgens do help women with mild hirsutism,” says Professor Tamer.

Hi all,
I had camel legss..and..camle everything else..
i’ll tell u what worked for me..
1.fennel seed supplements ,or if u dont wanto buy those u can make fennel seed tea by boiling a teaspoon of fennel/cup of water (the minute water starts boiling,cover and steep for 5-10 min,
2.fenugreek seed supplement,or u can purchase fenugreek seeds and boil same as the previous example..
3.saw palmetto supplements
I took theis combination of supplements
and…
i made a skin oil using (cyperus rotundus) ….the part of the plant used is the Rhizomes which r nodules near the roots
they grind it into a fine brown powder..dunno where u can get it if u dont live in a middle eastern country,but u can ask around.im sure there r herbalists in every country
what to do with it…….
a)2 tbs of the herb for every 250ml pf olive oil
b)heat oli on med heat ,till its fairly hot..
c)then add herb and instantly turn off heat and pour hot mixture into an airtight ,clean jar…
d) leave in dark place e.g kitchen cupboard for 24hrs..
e) straain usinga small strainer or sieve lined with medical gauze (found at drugstores and pahrmacies)..
F) store in clean,airtight bottle
g) epliate hair using any plucking method (DO NOT SHAVE)..then start applying the oil daily after ur regular bath massaging it in
h) when hair appears again repeat process,,U DONT need to make a new batch at the time of each new epilation..just when u run out..
NOTES:if u remabrrassed to go to a parlour to have ur back waxed ask a close person u trust to..better brave up for this,if u live in a shell of shame>>ull never solve ur problem!!
itl requires patience but,ull be amaazzzzed at the results!!
NOTES:u can make a big batch using 8 tbs of the herb/1Litre oil
that way u wont have to go thru the “toils” of the preparation process as freqyentlyas u would with smaller batches
MOST IMPORTANT NOTE: PATIENCE!!! ull have to use it for a couple of months.. but if u make big bathces ,ull only have to worry about the “epilation when its due!
HAI I AM TOO HAIRY BUT DONT WORRY ,it may be because of excess of male hormone. U must consult doctor .it maybe PCOS .U can have pills for it & a better diet with lesser carbohydrate rich food like pasta potato rice etc & include more fruits .don’t take tension for it & just forget about hair &also try spearmint tea & try the turmeric ,besan ,milk mixture for a few months
elder sister of all for finding solution for my sister’s &brother’s
hai i too have hair but try a better diet with less carbohydrate (pasta potato rice)&include more fruits because i read that this hair growth may be because of excess male hormone (antrogen or something like that ) also try spearmint tea &try to apply besan haldi along with milk as given in the previous comment &just forget it &be tension free about it .it will surely go
your elder sister
try ,mix besan & kasturi haldi in equal amount along with milk (make thick paste) apply on those parts and rub off after 15 min, the hair growth will surely reduce and will become thin &light
U COULD GET MEDICINE FOR IT OR TRY WAXING THATS WHAT I DO…GOOD LUCK!
same with me…it annoys the hell out of me….it makes me mad!!!!!!!!!!…..but dont worry your not the only gilrl…=)
Hi im 13 year old girl and im pretty shore i have hirsutism i cry every time i look at any part of my body or in the mirror; i have hair everywhere: from my shoulders to my hands, fingers,from my toes to my butt, in the lower part of my back(and its growing towards the top),i have sideburns , my ears(not just around them but really on them),my eyebrows are connecting with my hair, i have little hairs all over my face, and my belly is all covered and connecting with my chest. All hairs in my body are connected. It’s not that they’re long but they’re A LOT. I cry everyday because of this and i don’t know what to do, im only 13 imagine when im 18 im becoming into a monster. Im desperate i don’t know what to do :’(
Japanes girls are always amazing!
Dear Sadly Hairy,
I want you to know that you are not alone. I am 21 years old and I can tell you that I have the same problem. I have hair on my face, chest, back, and legs; every inch you can think of. I feel the same insecurities as you do and just want you to know that you are not the only one, and I hope that there will be a solution soon. Try the spearmint tea, I haven’t yet, but I plan to see if it works soon. I hope all goes well with you.
Dear Sadly Hairy: I am so sorry. Your comment breaks my heart. I am so sorry and wish I could help. Did you try the Spearmint tea? Have you ever tried permanent electrolysis? I’ve seen the billboards in that regard on the highway. I’m wondering if there is hope in the future through stem cell therapy. Please don’t give up hope. I will pray for you every time I think about it, and I will tell my family to do so, as well. I hope you will feel the love I send to you each night, through prayers, when you lay your head on your pillow. I will call you “Sweetgirl” since I don’t know your name, and God will know. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may His face shine upon you. As a side note, did you that know your soul is probably, due to the humility of your situation, more beautiful than 90 percent of the population? People like to portray Jesus Christ as being beautiful, but did you know that the prophesy of Christ in Isaiah 53 says otherwise? “For He shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: He hath NO FORM NOR COMELINESS; AND WHEN WE SHALL SEE HIM, THERE IS NO BEAUTY THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM. He was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.” Isaiah 53:2-3. Jesus Christ is the truest and most sympathetic friend you will find. Listen to the most recent Joni Eareckson Tada cd regarding suffering. She is lovely, and has been through so much, most recently breast cancer. I hope you get this note.
Sincerely,
Janice (gatorcml@gmail.com)
like some of you, I have hair in every inch of my body. I bleach/pluck/wax/epilate/shave/nair. I just can’t keep up with it!!! I feel like hidious ugly person. I have scars everywhere from ingrown hairs on my back, stomach, and chest. For some reason I started getting a skin condition called eczema on my legs after nairing for a long time. The more I try to get rid of it the more it scars my skin….and my soul. I can’t even look at myself naked. i have HATE how prickly my skin feels when i take a shower. I am 23 and NEVER had a bf. Idk how I could take the pain if i love someone and they can ‘t accept me. I know if he really loved me, but I won’t blame him if He can’t. I would do the same if i were him cuz there are so many other girls out who are prefectly fine…
An alternative or other solution to your hair loss is provillus which is also approved by the FDA
Look at this site hairytrade.com , there are a lot of pictures
Yupz,

My doctor has referred me to a dermatologist. I don’t have PCOS but I have excessive hairs. Hopefully they can help me. I cried yesterday. I just couldn’t believe how bad things are. All because of hairs.
XD so coll you went to japan but what you mean they were hairy??? O.o
guess what? last month i went to japan and saw many hairy girls!
apparently, its normal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg right?
Hy , after reading stories of you all guys, i noticed that we boys accept it , but what about girls. would u had accpeted a boy, if he had dark and thick hairs on his body????
Please message me more details. I e-mailed you.
do you truly think hair on a female is sexy?
I have a boyfriend and i am indeed a hairy girl. I have hair (dark prickly hair) on my stomach, breasts, bottom (around the anus), and very dark pubic hair. My boyfriend says he likes the hair but I definitely do not. I want to get rid of my hair as soon as possible, but laser treatments are so expensive and I don’t want to be in debt just because I want to be beautiful. I shave and tweeze which is bad but, i don’t know what else to do. I’m going to try the spearmint tea maybe it will work i am desperate.
Chances are he won’t leave you for something so trivial. If he loves you like he says he does then the hair won’t matter n he’ll try to explore options with you to try and rid that gorgeous body of the unsightly hair. <3
I am pretty fair…and I have thick dark hairs growing on my legs. Sigh..its so not sexy. I envy girls in shorts..they look so hot. I do shave..but you can still see the roots on my skin cause I am fair. I have a boyfriend. He knows about my hairy legs, he didnt say much about it..but I have never showed him my hairy legs. The only times he has seen my leg is when I have shaved. But I never let him touch it beccause its so course..ugh. I just hate it.
So does laser work? Cause I really am desperate to get rid of this hair!
I would love to wear shorts anytime without shaving..and sometimes I have unexpected visitors..I dont want to be seen wearing long pants either. Sigh…I just hate the hairs on my legs..
DOES LASER WORK??? OR ANYTHING? HELP ME PLEASE.
I am blessed with black hair and pale skin.. Yipee!!! Not. I shave, epilate,pluck,bleach,wax, adn thread myself to death. Its really unfair that im so god damn hairy everywhere! But my boyfriend doesnt mind
Dont ever be depressed..its truly sexy

OMG i am so hairy too and i feel so bad sometimes everyone says im pretty but i’m not sighs*
OMG i am so hairy too and i feel so bad sometimes everyone says im prett but i’m not sighs*
All Alone- I understand how you feel. I wish I could say some comforting words to you but we both know, society’s standard of a girl being pretty does not equate to being hairy.
I hope you cheer up and embrace every opportunity that is given to you. Hope you can be confident when there is a guy come knocking on your door. ;>
*HUgs!*
For me, he knows about it because we went to the same school.
Imagine me wearing skirt with hairy legs. At that time, I was 13. I can’t possibly shave throughout my secondary years because it will be too obvious. All along, I pretended I’m fine with my ‘hairy-ness’. If I were to shave, I’m admitting defeat to those moronic boys.
Soon after, I started covering up because I am a muslim. I met a guy and we broke up after a year. He does not know about my condition.
Then, a friend from my secondary school become my bf. H eknows about my condition and are totally fine with it.
Still, I am still scared of his reaction if he were to see me naked. (That is when we get married, then).
Deep down, I believe his words when he says ‘Who are we to hate God’s creations?’.
i don’t think blondes have to shave as much. you don’t really notice blonde hairs on white skin. but dark hairs on brown skin is notieceable. i am black, nice body(34C-26-36), but i don’t usually reveal my body because of my cystic acne, hair, and also have trust issues. men are so flighty.
okay, so I am ugly because i get acne? because i get hair bumps on my chest from shaving. I used to stay away from v neck and strapless dresses. but now i don’t care and still wear pretty things.it makes me happy.
I am on bc pills. Maybe you should try electrolysis if nair is not working for you.
Don’t reveal your body until they fully comitt. I have gone on alot of FIRST dates because I am picky. I know I need a very caring sensitive guy who will understand my condition. I was never diagnosed but i am acne prone on my chest, i get hairs on my chest, chin, neck, and butt crease. even when i use nair the hair on my chin doesn’t like to come off so i must tweeze one by one.
I don’t usually my body. I got tired of shaving my breasts! I am still a virgin at 24. I just stick to kissing and cuddling.
You are lucky to find someone to love you as who you are I hope your love for one another stay strong hopefully one day I find somebody to love me for me with my extra hair
I don’t understand how can someone find me attractive when I have more hair then what a normal man would have? I find that people find my facial features attractive and I get told I am pretty but I’m sure facial hair (sideburns,lip hair,chin hair ARE NOT ATTRACTIVE!)daily grooming of the face is mentally draining and a hairy bottom is NOT SEXY on a young woman so how am I to find mister right??!! I see some of these girls on here have found men to love them for who they are please share with me the secret into finding a man that will accept me for me
I do not know how to approach a man without get rejected and made fun of I dont want to stay a virgin and alone for ever any hints ladies?!?!
The sun is shining & I’m hiding under my duvet cover. I don’t want to go outside. I don’t want to see pretty girls in their nice clothes holding hands with their boyfriends. I feel so sad & alone. I want to be a normal girl but how can I when I’ve ruined my skin from shaving for 16 years? I don’t know what to do. I wish I was never born. Then I won’t be so unhappy. God sees me but He does nothing. He watches as I sit here alone crying & mastabating. I hate my life. Its so miserable & I don’t want to be here anymore. I feel like a bird in a cage. Unable to spread my wings & fly. So on this beautiful saturday I’m here under my duvet cover.
I told him & he said he loves me. I told him about being covered in hairyness but I didn’t go into depth about the razor bumps on my face. He knows something is there but he doesn’t know how bad it is. I was scared to tell him. The way I did it was I showed him one of my messages on this sight & I watched him as he read it. I just couldn’t say the words ‘I’m hairy’. Let’s see how things go. Its still early days to be calling him my boyfriend but damn I’m in love & I’m so happy.
I have hair on my face, my back and my chest…. and my husband has no idea because hes never home long enough to know. hes currently deployed to Iraq and im scared for when he finally comes home and sees it
im scared because of how “young” we both are that he will act like a child and leave.
its a pity that i need to be so scared around my own husband and i wish people didnt suck so much
Hey gerls,
Im hairy too..In secondary school, I was constanly teased. This guy told all the other guys that I have more hair on my legs if they were to combine theirs and compare with mine.
Those stupid boys make my life miserable Now, my boyfriend accepts me for who I am and assures me that I’m beautiful. Howeveer, I still wax my legs and pubic area. I leave the fine hair on my back, stomach and arms. I’m pretty fair but I have black hair.
We should be grateful. I know it is hard but sometimes, we are too harsh on ourselves.
Who has a boyfriend & is hairy? How does he handle it? I’m just scared becos I feel that he won’t look @ me the same after I tell him. He’s gonna be so disappointed & I fear that he will leave me.
Well, clearly it seems that there are quite a few women who actually have huge problems with hirsutism. Maybe it’s about time we find out what actually works. Has anybody tried this spearmint tea? What about spironolactone? It seems to me that doctors are really ignorant about the problem since our lives are not in danger.. well they have no idea how many times I have thought about suicide and actually prepared for it. Hirsutism is in fact a big problem and it needs more attention.
omg! samee but i am like THIRTEEN PEOPLE. and i have it int he same places aswell as another
and i’m too embarrased 2 askmy mum if i can wax
advice?
I feel the same as all you feel. Ive hated my increasing facial hair/body hair since I was 14 but it was not so bad till i turned 20 and then boom it started increasing gradually with each removal month after month year after year. Its gotten worse since age 26 and at age 29 now its getting so bad and driving me nuts because its so hard to accept myself. Ive lost hours of my life fussing over the hair. But the way I cope now is im trying to improve the appearence of my skin bcuz shaving my face takes a lot out of the healthy skin look and adds too many ingrowns. Ive figured out that high end natural products such as origins never a dull moment face wash and origins modern friction work best before shaving bcuz they gently exfoliate and dont cause irritation. I use to use gillette shave gel but im making an effect to use natural products so now im using dr. bronners unscented liquid castille soap it makes a luxurious creamy lublicated later i add a dash of alba moisture shave cream this is very effective almost magic with the liquid castile soap laster. this routine has helped my regain my soft youthful skin back after shaving so long. i never use mens razors tho. i pat my face dry after shaving. i follow with aveda exfoliate which is a great toner as a bonus it keeps ingrowns at bay. finally i apply hydrating lotion which anlog with exfoliate , are both from aveda`s line botanical kinetics. and i top off the smoothness with bare minerals mineral makeup i made the switch to these products after having crappy razor damaged skin 4 way too long. this is not a commerical for these products but its just something ive found to take the edge off my anxiety and facial hair worries. I know these products are a bit expensive but its been worth every penny for my increased self esteem Im not saying rush out and buy these im just saying high quality prodcts can help with restoring razor damaged skin not every product is right for everyone but these products brands have many lines that cater to specific skin types such as oily or dry or combination skin. also exfoliating (removing dead skin cells) is essential before shaving and moisturizing after is essential too so i hope this can help some one improve her skin along with her self esteem.
hi, i m 21.i m damn hairy.i hv hair on all d possible areas n being a girl its so embarrasing.i feel ashamed of myself. just becoz i have gud features people say i m so beautiful but wenever i hear dat my heart cries den y do i have so many hairs. i always feel dese people will stop loving me once dey cum to know abt my reality. i hate my body i just want to ged rid of dese hair or my life. i feel so depressed everytime i luk at myself.
He thinks I’m perfect. It will break his heart when I tell him how ugly I am. Then he will leave me and I will go back to hiding away from the world. But he makes me so happy and I make him happy. But how will he take the news? Things will definetely change and I just don’t need people being akward with me. Especially him. I’m in love and I’m covered in hairyness and razor bumps. He won’t look at me the same after I tell him but he needs to know the truth. I can’t keep pushing him away because he always comes back. But after hearing what I have to tell him. Its a fucking shame. my heart is breaking and he’s gonna hate me
Seriously ladies you need to stop, I am a 23 year old woman who has had facial hair since high school. At first it was embarrassing but i just plucked at first but my hair has slowly increased so I shave. I have been in 3 serious relationships. My first had no idea my second caught me shaving my face and my husband asked why I took so long in the shower and I just told him the truth and he still loves me. Its not my fault I have PCOS and its not my fault I have facial hair. My whole family knows and my friends know. If you shave exfoliate before hand with a loofa and body wash shave with the grain once you get it close enough go against the grain this will reduce ingrowns. use a mans shaving cream and a mans razor with 5 blades its a closer shave then use a good face cream to soothe the face, If you are paranoid and embarrased about it then he will see it as bad. If you honestly accept yourself and your bodies natural beauty and imperfections then he honestly wont care. Love is love
How do u tell the guy u like that u are hairy & u have a beard?
hi, its sad to hear that this has stopped you from being in a serious relationship. i have issues with a hairy face, just get so sick of “maintaining” it. my partner doesnt even notice mine and didnt from the start of our relationhip. shallow people who judge you on the outside are not the sort of people you want.
I have hair every where and its the one thing that keeps me from going into a serious relationship, i am consumed by it and i wish i new how to stop obsessing, it feels good knowing there are people out there who felt the way i feel.
I don’t understand why hair is considered ugly. If a person has a nice body and nice skin [as in no pimples], then body hair is no big deal. We all have it…unless you’re a child or a chemo patient.
I am so glad to hear I am not te only one
my dad is Macedonian and my mum is croatian I am so damn hairy its embarrassing I am in my early 20′s and never had a proper serious realationship because of it, it controls my life and I wish there was an easy way out! I do the regular waxing on the legs arms and face also did laser on my legs underarms and stomach it helped alot on my legs and underarms not so much on the belly only problem is you can’t really stop the treatments I find hair slowly grows back (finer which is a bonus) I have done 20 treatments haven’t tried to touch my bottom yet should try something for it just don’t want to show anyone
let’s meet

Donʻt worry. Being vulnerable is scary but you are a gift, donʻt waste time with small things like body hair. I have wasted so much time and sabotaged so many relationships because of my hatred of my body hair. My sisters has a lot of chin hair (a lot!!) and her boyfriend adores her, tells her not to worry about it, and that when they can afford it they will get laser removal. Love is compassion. I encourage you to be vulnerable and let him see you as you are. Blessings
OMG I have the same problem and I feel like no one has it like I do. I live in Hawaii where every one is asian-mixed, brown, and hairless. I am Italian mixed and I have hair on my nipples, stomach, lower back, butt, my leg hairs are so black and course, and my bikini line has no end. Of-course, I am single because I wonʻt let myself be loved or being nude is just a nightmare. Laser is the only thing that works. Best wishes to you!! Love yourself!!
Omg! emma I am so glad to hear this from u, I am latin and i live in Sweden, and all the girls here are so damn HAIRLESS, I mean they do have hair but its all blonde And I have hair all over the place, i feel so manly all the time, I am sure u have blonde hair, you are lucky, shaving is so hectic, but it did make me feel better reading your optimistic comment, and i dont think any guy can like me if he really knows how I am, he will run for sure..I have no problem with my body or face but its cursed by hair!

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. Its sad being hairy and wanting to date. But I think that if he really loves you, he will stay & support you.
Please let be the hair in your bodies! Hairy people, women and men, are wonderful!
I can’t deal with the pressure of being hairy & having a boyfriend. He knows that there’s something on my face but he doesn’t know the extent of it. I’ve ruined my skin from shaving & now I can’t deal with someone being around me. I keep pushing him away & he keeps coming back. I’m scared to tell him about the razor bumps & the hairyness. I know that he will leave me & I can’t deal with rejection. Especially by him. I love him & I want to be with him but a girl with a rooted face & hairy body is sure to put him off. Then what do I do?
Dude! We’re mammals. Girls are mammals, too. Of course we’re going to have hair! It’s such a shame that society makes us feel so bad about it. I don’t have any disorder but I inherited hairiness from my dad (I’m Scandinavian). It used to bug me, but I get so much attention now because I’ve realized that I am beautiful, and being fuzzy doesn’t stop that. Yes, I have a mustache, but I actually use scissors to cut it unnoticeably short. It’s quick and easy. Also, most models have excess body hair! If you ever see photos of them lit in a certain way, sometimes you can see the hair sticking up from their arms and it’s pretty long! Also, I’ve seen photos of Marilyn Monroe with very thick hair on her arms. And Megan Fox… something about her; you can tell she has a mustache. Also the inside of her eyebrows are very thick. And these are some of the most beautiful women in recent history! I think in order to have a beautiful head of hair, you’re going to have to live with some on your body. So shave your legs, your pits, maybe your belly button and pubes, pluck your eyebrows, do something to your ‘stache, and move on with your life!! People who really matter won’t care if you have hair on your butt cheeks. Trust me, my boyfriend doesn’t! It’s not like you’re always running around with your butt cheeks exposed anyway. Take care of the beautiful hair on your head, because I’m sure plenty of women are jealous.
I’ve started using the razor bump/ ingrown hair product. I wished I started years ago instead of sitting & waiting for a miracle from God.
I cn und your prob..
Mine too is same..
I ll date u..v ll live hapily..plz rep
I want to have sex with you..please.

There are a lot of people with real problems that could be easily managed if our society wasnt so greedy. Laser hair removal should not be so expensive. I truly wish for all women out there (and men too) that someday laser hair removal will be just an ordinary, practical way of life. In the future people will wonder how any of us ever put up with the daily hair removal grind. We spend so much of our time on shaving, waxing, plucking, etc. all the time worrying when it needs to be done again. All of our lives are too short anyway I hope someday our maximum profits society will relent a little bit and just do whats good for everyone and make laser hair removal more affordable.
just use body bleach, it works

Hi girls, I’m so glad I found this sight. Its been only this year that I’ve started talking about the hairyness. Its everywhere & I’ve ruined my skin from shaving all these years. My problem is I can’t wear low cut tops, dresses & I can’t put my hair up. I haven’t dated or been kissed in 5 years. I feel like I’ve lost my identity & I’m struggling with not being able to express myself with clothes, accessories & hair styles. I’ve grown up & I’m aware of my body. I have a really nice shape but nobody can see it cos I’m always covered. I feel like a tomboy even though I’m a girlie girl. Its so sad cos I’m a girl & every time I see my breasts I’m in shock because they’re nice & big but becos I never wear nice clothes I hardly see them so when I do I cry. Its so sad. I’m a girl but I’m not able to express myself.
Cant I get your email ID’s ? I think we can help each other out with this problem, I really need people to talk with about this
Please Please write ur ID in the reply ! Love you !
Well My chin hair is longer and I have 3-4 thick hair strands now
But bleaching dosent cause it, waxing/shaving or tweezing might, well I bleach every other day, I wont recommend it to you, because it can harm your skin but I would say after 2 weeks I bleach, but for some it lasts 2 Months ! And maybe your facial hair is lesser than me, but TRUST ME, bleaching wont increase ur hair, it will just make it blonde 
Which means less visible, take a close look at your Blonde friends, they have more hair on their hands and all but just because its blonde, people thinks its “okay” -.- But oh well, till we get it lasered we are stuck with it, I am on my way to depression..I guess this hair problem aint as little as it seems for hairless people 
I love you and hairy women, Please stop feeling bad about how yoou were made. I would love to see some pictures of you! I get so turned on by hairy women it hurts! I just want to look at them all day long. Especially a women with dark curly hair ! Ohh S***, i am going crazy!
i am very hairy the legs on my hair and arms are almost like a mans. i dont know if its genetics or hormones but i have hair all over my body and i get rid of each part with diffrent hair removal methods but its so annoying because the hair tends to grow back the next day with some parts.

Yep, I also have PCOS, suffer from hirsutism, am slightly overweight and apparently staring down the barrel of Type 2 Diabetes if I don’t control my weight in the next few years (I am 32, 170cm and 69kg). To all you teenagers out there, I suffered similar problems when I was younger, including a mother who didn’t understand when I told her I was hairier than other girls (although at the time, mine was thankfully not too dark), she assumed I was just freaking out about puberty, I guess. Even now, I don’t think she quite believes me when I say I suffer from hirsutism, but that’s because I pluck my chin hairs religiously and you will never see me in shorts, let alone bathers, if it’s anywhere below 38 degrees! And a bikini is quite out of the question! But, regarding boys not liking you, I have had a couple of boyfriends while suffering from these symptoms and not one of them cared a bit. I do shave when I feel the need (I try to stay away from razors when it comes to bikini lines and other sensitive areas and go for a ladyshaver instead, it reduces the instances of shaving bumps considerably), but if I don’t shave, my boyfriend doesn’t care. He even sometimes helpfully points out the my moustache may be a little long (our bathroom mirror is not help at all!) I also agree that you should probably try to stay away from drugs like Spironolactone and the like unless there are no other options available. Laser treatment was recommended to me by my gynaecologist and that, I think, is my next step as the Pill that I was on to lessen the effects of PCOS (mainly the hair) was making me very irritable (read: angry/moody/unbearable) and damaging my relationship. I will also give Spearmint tea a go as I love tea and anything that may reduce my hair growth that is cheap and effective, not to mention, delicious, is a goer in my book.
I was diagnosed with poly cystic ovaries over thirty years ago. I had real problems with hair everywhere..especially my face which I had to shave almost everyday. I started with a treatment of electrolysis and though it was painful and costly and took time…it really really worked. I cant even begin to tell how worth it is. It changed my life…no more shaving or feeling self conscious…it got rid of my hair permanently. Now that I am in my late 40′s and hitting menopause, i have random regrowth of a little of the hair but I go to laster to treat it. The moral of the story…dont suffer…get to it… dont wait! It works!
Please get yourself to a doctor. My daughter was just diagnosed with PCOS and it sounds like most of the girls here may have this same hormonal disorder. She is having a really difficult time as well with the excess hair and acne. The doctor can prescribe birth control pills or a medication called Metformin to help reduce the symptoms. Also, eating a low carb diet and exercising is supposed to help as well. Good luck to you all. I’m curious about the tea as well and will keep researching trying to find something to help her.
Can’t notice that anyones mentioned epilating, its more painful that waxing but it gets easier everytime and seems to work better. Google it? x
@ Becca. I’m 21 and it’s gotten worse it feels. So You’re in the same boat, trust me.
I hate this!! I want my man to have the mustache NOT ME!!!! Only men should have mustaches! MUSTACHES ARE CUTE, AND ONLY CUTE ON MEN!!!!:( i think it’s weird that my friend who really likes me can’t grow one, and I can! And it sorely depresses me. (there are some men out there who actually don’t have ANY TYPE OF FACIAL HAIR ON THEM! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT???) (It’s a hereditary disorder, I’ve heard, but how sad for a guy, I’d love to give him mine!) XDD
*sigh* I use Nair and I tweeze with the horrifying thought of this crap coming back darker. And I have this paranaoia about hair on my face that shouldn’t belong there. Even if it’s small and unnoticeable, I’m like “OMFG!! KILL IT!!! KILL IT!! I DONOT WANT TO FEEL IT ON MY FAAAAACE!!!! F@#$ING KIIIIILLLLL IIIIITT!!!”
I NEVER shave my face. I see only men shave their face. It seems wiith women who are darker haired like me, suffer from this s*it than their stupid lucky dumb blonde counterparts. I hav it on my arms (but not too conspicuous God was merciful THERE) in between my breasts and below my stomach. I don’t feel feminine at all.
I have such a low self-esteem and this adds to it. God, if I had the money I’d get this crap taken off PERMANENTYLY!! LASER the F*%@ING S*** OFF!!!
Seriously, God gave the animal (man) an easier life to live. He dies before the wife. (ususally) HE can be hairy like the animal he is. He can keep on populating, WE have periods and THEN Oh joy, MENOPAUSE for the rest of our godforsaken life until the day WE DIE. Sooo looking forward to that S*#T!!
men don’t have to worry about getting pregnant, hell, if he was really unfaithful, he go right onto the next young hott thing. Ugh.
God, this pisses me off. My sister has a hairy upperlip and she’s
fine with it. JEEZ, I wish I had her type of self-esteem! I remember at the ripe old age of 7 and finding out that I was growing effing facial hair, MY GOD THAT DEPRESSED ME!!! All my life since i was young, I had a thing for mustached men, and here I was starting to grow one!!! F*&#ing NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
But yes, I always wished that to God our creator, “Why couldn’t us women be born with hair on just our heads, eyebrows, and eyelashes only?” Let the man look like a beast, not us! WE want to be dainty, delicate, beautiful and pleasing to the eye to look at.”
I hate my voice as well. At times I feel so manly, it makes me so uncomfortable to think about how masculine I feel.
I hate the hair I hate my voice and I hate my godawful manly nose!!!
For hair removal, DONT USE NAIR, it works, but it’s crap sometimes. I liked Sally HAnsen Hair Removal. She is so much better than Nair. And… I wouldn’t shave.
D@MN THESE HORMONE LEVELS!! I hope this tea works for me….. (D:)
BTW, dude you are clueless. Hair results from hair follicles in the skin. Many things cause “hairiness.” Pcos and hormones are some causes. Shaving, waxing or whatever will not lessen the number of hair follicles. They may or may not result in the hair growing back finer.
Not to discourage you, but I would be VERY cautious of the medications, topicals (creams, etc) and stuff. I work in the medical field and see too many side effects causing additional problems such as liver and kidney damage.. Try “Googling” these meds and you will see what I am saying. Be VERY careful of this stuff ladies. If someone picks on you about hair they are a sad creature.
I want a hairy girl! I think fuzzy women are incredibly pretty! Wish I had a fuzzy sweetie……
I’ve been shaving since 11 & I’m 27 now. I went through depression when I was 21 & its only now that I’m getting my life back. Razor bumps & hairyness has caused me to hate myself & I’ve isolated myself from my friends & the outside world. I’m seeing a counsellor at the moment & its helping. Right now I don’t want to be alone. I want a boyfriend but who would want a hairy girl.
I have had fine hair growing on really crazy parts of my body since I was 18. Even on my face! I got darker hair growing on my cleavage, along my stomach and upper thighs. I used to shave every other day. Then I started plucking my face and hairline with tweezers every few days and getting my lower arms and legs waxed. It was agony. Eventually I realised I was wasting so much time in these rituals getting rid of hair that I had stopped doing anything useful with my time. I was also wasting a TON of money buying hair removal products! The guys I was dating had hair in places I didn’t like, but they weren’t bothering to do anything about it. Yet, they expected me to shave everything. One day I had a huge row with my ex when he wanted me to go swimming at the last minute and I hadn’t shaved for 3 days and didn’t have time to do it before we left. He decided to point out the hairs anyway! I broke up with him and haven’t bothered with all the plucking since. I shave my legs every week or so if I feel like it and under my arms and that is all. F**k all this shaving! I’m sick and tired of wasting my life feeling like crap and trying to battle nature! I’ve stopped buying magazines, stopped watching TV, stopped looking at anything where I have to see all these f****ng ‘perfect’ women! Instead of all that, I am now composing music (something I have wanted to do for years but never had time for)!
I apologise for my language and anger, but why the hell should I be made to feel bad for how I was made? And why is it (mainly) women who have to go through this? I’ve never known a guy to waste so much time trying to look ‘normal’!
PLease read my recent story on laser hair removal and feel free to leave a comment on my contact form…..http://www.mytwistedstyle.com/
Man being hairy just sucks butt!! Im almost 20 Now and i have hair pretty much everywhere.. Not as thick but they r there. I was always hairy since i was little but dk how cuz all the women in my family are not as hairy as me. Im dying to wear 2 peice bikinis, v-necks,and Stuff like that but i dont want Ppl to see im hairy and comment on it . especially around guys. I think they aré not going to like me after they find out im hairy. Not to be conceited or anything but i think im very pretty and have nice Body but i had to be cursed with all this hair. lol
it’s depressing looking at all the other girls hairless where i have hair. I want all this hair gone asap!! maybe this tea works…. Anyone out there who has tried this tea that can tell me if it works?? Or any suggestions on what i should do?? something not as expensive but can last. shaving and creams aré tiring . Heeeellllp pllleaaaase !!!
I started shaving like you when I was fourteen too and tryst ms it’s a BAD idea , don’t shave because even though studies say that shaving does not make your hair coarser but it just causes them to have a flat top-end instead of a pointy one, constant shaving causes your skin to peel off around the pores making it hard for the hair to come out. It ends up curling in your skin causing ingrowns , especially if u have thick hair. I’ve tried all methods of hair removing since I was 12 up till now, I’m seventeen. Electrolysis is too slow, waxing shaving and threading cause ingrowns but laser is good. Even though it ddnt permanently remove my hair, it helps me get rid of them for two months and they come out weaker than before. I hope this helps.
Well, your mom seems stupid. Because your 13 years old .. your becoming a woman.. she should be there for questions and stuff, but she needs to stand back and let you decide what
to do. And wtf ? your only allowed a cup of tea a day cause of caffeine ? .. there is no caffeine in tea , .. so your moms kindove an idiot. and for the hair situation theres not much you can do i guess, deffenetly do not shave ! that will cause worse problems. Waxing is a good option because if you do it enough times your hair will become very faint, and hardly notible , in some cases the hair eventually stops growing ! so yeaaah.
thats my opion.
Ok, I am thirteen and have hair (thin stuff, like my arm hair which is normal) on my stomach and boobs. The boobs I can accept, I can’t remove that hair, but my snail trail and cleavage? Shaving just results in cuts coz it’s such a uneven surface, and my mum won’t let me use anything else! Actually mum doesn’t know about my stomach, she knows I shave my legs and underarms and she doesn’t know I cut and shave the top of my pubes… She’s not very approachable in that way… I’m not allowed to go to the shops on my own, mum even picks out which pads I use when I have my period, so getting a cream or aomething kind of isn’t an option… Please help! Ps. I have pubes in my anus, WTF? Btw immonly allowwed one cup of tea a day because if caffeine…
Thx

Hi L I have the same problem as you! I’m asian too. My mom has dark black upper lip hair but it only shows on the ends. My sister has it too but hers is not that noticeable unless your staring right at her face. But I hate my upper lip hair so much! I have more then my mom or my sister! I was wondering have you ever tried waxing before? Cause I wanna try it but I’m afraid my facial hair will grow back darker and longer! I really hate it so much!
Hi Kim I have Facial Hair problems too! I started getting Facial Hair when I was in 4th grade but it wasn’t really that noticebly till now (I’m 14 now)! My mom has Facial Hair too. I was wondering if you bleach your Facial Hair how long does it last till it returns to its normal color in the first place? I’ve thought of doing something about it, but I’m afraid if I bleach or wax it, it’ll get darker and longer! Have you ever tried waxing before?? Its really bothering me now, help please :]
Hi , girls
who drank spearmint tea?
does it effective?
I definitely know how you all feel. I’m going to be 35 next month and I have dealt with unwanted hair since I was in my early teens. I use to have the hairiest arms (plus the tops of my hands and fingers). I got made fun of all the time when I was younger so I started going and getting my full arms waxed. This was great, plus over time the hair grew back finer and there was less of it (I went once every 5 weeks). In recent years I’ve started using Veet on my arms as it is quicker and MUCH cheaper. I use the Veet once every 3-4 weeks and it works just as well.
Additionally, when I was 28 my hormones started getting all crazy. I broke out with cystic acne all over my face and started noticing fine hair all over my face (like the full beard area on a guy) with some dark black hairs mixed in. I was horrified. I went to the dermatologist and was put on Acutane for the acne and after 7 months my face was finally clear. However, the hair still remained PLUS the hair on my head started falling out. I also got dark, course hair around my nipples and a small trail of hair on my belly. AGAIN, I was horrified. I went to several doctors and they all kept telling me it was genetic (however, none of the women in my family had ever had these problems before me). After 3 years of going through this I finally found a doctor that listened to what I was saying and she sent me for an abdominal CAT scan to look at my ovaries. From this they saw that I had cysts covering my ovaries and they were constantly rupturing and reforming. I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). This syndrome causes cystic acne, patterned baldness, unwanted hair growth, etc. I’ve never been so happy to be diagnosed with a problem before because there’s way to deal with this problem!!! One way is to take oral contraceptives. This works for a lot of people unfortunately I was not one of them. I’ve been on oral contraceptives since I was 15 years old due to painful and frequent periods. It worked great for that but wasn’t strong enough to take on the PCOS. My doctor then suggested Spironolactone (Aldactone). Spironolactone is actually a blood pressure medicine but has also been found to treat PCOS in women. It works pretty well but it is not without side effects though and you definitely do not want it in your system if you are trying to conceive.
Since I would like to try to get pregnant in the next couple of years (I’ve also had a hard time getting and staying pregnant over the years due to the PCOS.) I’m going to have to put the Spironolactone on the back burner. I’m excited to try the spearmint tea for the unwanted hair growth though I don’t know what I’ll do about the patterned baldness and cystic acne. If anyone has any natural remedies for these I would love to hear them!!!
I truly know how you ladies feel,and im with you!Im 15 years old right now,and im VERY hairy.My dad is hairy also and his mom,my mom no .It started when i was about 12 and it got worse throughtout the years.I started shaving when i was 13 and now my hands have cuts and marks all over them.I wear some dress and short sleaves,but i feel so insecure and ugly.I have a nice face and body[so i've been told:],but these hair are so depressing and annoying.
I hope this tea helps.I told my mother men have it soo easy!
Why couldnt women be born with hair on there heads,eyebrowns,and eyelashes only?:D
Becca
Very useful review! Can’t wait to try this out. Anyway, I’ve also experienced Laser hair removal and it was really good. You might want to try it.
I’m 15 years old and i started to noticed that i have hair on my face, stomach and other places this year. It very hairy ! i hate it,i have to wear long sleeve/cardigan when i go out and it sucks. I’ve always wanted to wear dresses and skirts, shorts and all. I can’t because of this stupid hair -___-
I’m scared that guys won’t like me if they knew i’m hairy, and its really depressing if they do so. I don’t think they have Spearmint tea here in my country. I was planning on waxing, does it reduce hair growth?
i have the same problem
currrently on the pill,, cant explain to my fiance ccz im too embarassedd :’(… by the sounds of it yu hav polysistic ovaries which is a medical condition… you are likely to get medical treatment for it on the nhs.. xx
Sam trust me, first Just try a patch on your arm, it will itch a bit but thats normal, and if you dont face any allergic reaction, you can use it on your face
I am telling you, if you pluck it it will become thicker and the chin hair will come back rather quickly, My mom has it and she has to pluck it EVERYDAY, so just Bleach it till You are 18, and then you can go and Laser it so that its gone FOREVER 
omg i have this problem about facial hair but im scared to use like that bleaching stuff on my face because i have really sensative skin but i dnt wanna start high school with that ughh what should i do?
also i forgot to add, what is the name of the hormonal pills can u give us some more info about it please
Hi, wanted to ask you a question about the hormonal pills, do they have to be prescriped by the doctor to get them? and thanks for sharing that..i hope it works for me too.
Im 16 years old, and ive been dealing with “hairy problems” since i was 13 or 14! =/i absolutely hate it!!!! Its soo annoying.. i have hair everywhere.. i have sideburns, moustache, chin hair.. then i got hair on my butt, tummy and arms.=/. I tried waxing it, its alright.. but i havent been there in a while i also tried shaving but it comes back thicker and i also use nair for the face..Hopefully this spearmint tea hig will work.. Im like ready to give up!?! ;p
Hey,
I also got hair on my Belly.. Im sooo Hairy!!! i hate it.. but im glad im not the only girl here who does.=)
Hello i am 16 male as far as i can see most of you have got a hair problems i am certain all of that got a hair problem your skin is a softer than normal that is causes hair to grow up esier than a tougher skin so there is some trainings that makes your skin come to normal then hairs will grow up harder i think this is makes you a little bit hairless than before because my legs are a little bit hairy than a normal and i do not know how ladies figure this out,i am doing those trainings and i feel better i hope all of get rid of hair problems god bless
HI, i would just like to let people know i have been on spironolactone for the last 18months, it is absolutely fantastic. i had acne (cyst like under my skin) – it cleared up my skin in a few months – rarely get a spot now and i used getl oads. Spironolactone reduces the testosterone hoemones in your body whcih causes acne and hair.. for me spironolactone wokrked very well on my dark hairs but not on my blond hairs – i have a lot of blond hairs on my face, which is quite annoying as they cannot be treated by laser apparently.. i bought spearmint tea today, hopefully that will help… i get electrolysis done, have been for about 10 years, cant say i think it works but i have to do something each month to make it not look too bad.. i get electrolysis done about every 3 weeks.. i am age 34.. and my aunties have the same condition.. i got my blood tested but hormones level normal.. although i really do believe it has got to do with your hormones, as i said spironolactone (testosterone reducer) has worked a treat on my skin (100mg) – started off on 25mg, which worked then also.. have increased it as apparently you need higher levels to work on hirsituism.. i hope this post helps someone.. if youve got acne- it will defo help you, if youve got dark hairs, it will also help you, not sure about blond – think it slightly helps but not enough..
i am 14 and its so depressing to have hair on my face, butt, chest, stomach, back, legs and arms ! I am sick and tired of it, i use to shave my whole body spending god knows 2 – 3 hours daily, i was fine with it first, but then i couldnt do it anymore, it was very tiring, my friends think i am hairless, which is good, but I AM NOT, i cant keep up with shaving daily, and i hate those black spots which i get, i bleach my face and its all peach fuzz, even my chin hair because i dint pluck it, no one has said anything except this gay guy in my class, i hated it, i am too young for laser but unitl then i need some way to say hair free most of the time, PLEASE HELP, Thank You so much !

hey wow it’s nice to know i’m not alone with this problem although it’s not nice at all to have it!!!!!!!!!!!!i have been suffering from depression and i know that most of it is from this problem and i am far too embarassed to ever tell anyone. i’ve had help for my depression but this hair problem is still here and i really don’t feel able to tell my parents (i’m 23). I finally told the doctor which was very hard to do but I did and all my hormone tests were normal so I haven’t got PCOS. But he just said there was nothing he could do to stop the hair and I left crying. I keep waxing all the time but I’m sick of it and it keeps making me depressed! I’ve changed doctors now and hopefully they will help as I know there are creams and tablets that can help. I realllly want laser hair removal but my parents won’t pay it’s so expensive and I don’t have the money for it. I don’t know what to do as I reallllly need it done but I just can’t tell my parents or even my friends as I’m so embarassed! I know a few of my friends have had hair problems but I’m even too embarassed to tell them as I like to give off a perfect image. Also there are no shops here (in the UK) that sell pure spearmint tea. Does anyone know of any? Or any other suggestions? I can’t help but feel depressed about it as I personally hate body hair on anyone, especially on myself!
Very interesting topic. Laser hair removal is one of the most effective hair removal treatments available today. I would recommend this to my friends.
it’s alright i have hairy arms as well but i have bleached mine and on my legs.i have some dark hair at the bottom of my back! you dont have to be afraid to ask your mum! nearly every girl at your age shaves.you can tell your mum any thing thats what she is there for. dont be afraid i asked and she was fine with it! just ask her i bet when you do you will feel much better . pleaseeee reply ….. thats if you ask your mum . Jade x
i have a hairy stomach and arms and i dont mind my arms but my stomach annoys me because i have a boyfriend and im embarrased about it. Does the tea work ?
im 13 goin on 14 in the matter of days. i have body hair and i hate it. i have low self esteem because of it. i dont like people to see my body. and thats not fair. i should be able to go out in a bikinii in the summer time and go swimming without worrying if someone saw my body hair. to me is gross and i hate it. and it can damage your self esteem. i ask myself why me ? why did i have to have it ? i hide it from boys. i hide my body , infront of them when i go swimming i should have to. im supposed to feel pretty and i dont i feel gross and disgusting. ive told my mom how i feel . she says it COULD go away but thats the thing could . i want it gone. i shouldnt have to worry about this. i guess its different when you have it. its like it eventually definse you and takes over. i have it on my back . my stomach. my chest. and my arms. my arms i dont mind . but the rest i do. i wanna be able to where those tank tops that show off your back . but i cant . and i have dark dark brown hair. so all the hair on my body is dark as well. i am gunna try this tea. im praying it will work. im glad theres people out there who try and find ways to get rid of hair on the body. gives me hope. i just really want it gone, and for my self esteem to come back. and so that i can go out and not have it define me.
I totally understand how you feel! I’m also 17, but I’ve been dealing with this ever since I started puberty. It’s really unfair because I’m Asian and NO ONE in my family is as hairy as me… not even my dad! My mom has some hair on her upper lip, chin, and a tiny bit on her back, and I think I’ve inherited the hairy genes from her — except I’m like 10x worse than hers since hers isn’t that noticeable. But you’re lucky that you don’t have hyperhydrosis (excessive sweatiness, gross!) along with being hairy. I’m 100% positive that I got the hyperhydrosis problem from my dad. It sucks to be me because I’m hairy and I get sweaty all over my body! A lot of you girls are lucky that you don’t have to deal with both of these problems because they cause so much embarrassment for me… and it just keeps getting worse every single day! A lot of times, I think that it would’ve been better if I was just born as a boy; at least then, it wouldn’t be as big of a deal.
It sucks that I can’t wear the clothes that I like or go hang out with my friends because it has caused me to have such a low self-esteem. And lord knows, when it comes to guys, I just want to go hide in a corner ‘cos I don’t want them to see me. It also doesn’t help since I’m painfully shy. The chances of me ever finding a boyfriend is probably at -75% anyways. Some of my classmates, who barely even know me, have even told me that I was somewhat pretty, but I still feel really ugly no matter what they say.
I’ve tried talking to my parents about my problems but they simply don’t care. How is any girl supposed to deal with this if her parents are completely apathetic? All this crap has gotten me really depressed over the years and I just can’t stand it! Seriously, why did I have to inherit these things? Did the gene pool just hate me or something? If only scientists could find a solution to this problems already!
Hey i would love to be updated, My problem is kind of similar, and i asked my sister if i might have more Male hormones because i have peach fuzz on my back, in between my breast, my stomach and my Butt (Very Embarrassing hehe) She says No you’re Fine and when you’re 18 you can just go and Laser them but i am just 14 ! I want to enjoy my life and i can only laser after 4 years .. I have to spend Hours in the washroom shaving my whole Body .. Its so annoying, I cry at Night thinking i would creep out people if they knew about it, It is very depressing tho My sister or mom dont take me seriously, My mom is Totally hairless and My sister is gonna start her Laser Treatment, I am Stuck, I hate it
I would be so Glad if you reply really (PS- I couldnt find your Email to contact You)
well to start off im 13 years old and turning 14 very very soon. ive read almost every one of these comments and it has alot to do with me. i have hair on my whole back, i really dont care about my arms but i do care about my upper arms, not under.. upper, i really wanna wear a tantop out in public. my stomach… i use NAIR lotion, but its not shaving. legs, doesnt matter. and chest hair, bleach it and its better than shaving it. i have a boyfriend, weve been together for 7 months now. he wants me to use a bikini, i guess hes a perv(x but yeah anyways he wants me to but i really dont wanna cusz i dont want him to know… i think he’ll break up with me and i dont want that to happen. im always thinking why am i hairy and i get stressed. mom says i shouldnt shave and its tru, gets way worse. waxing is good? but im scared to tell her, ive read about the tea thingy, i wanna try it.. but does it get u fat? cusz i have a good body and i dont wanna mess it up. lazer.. im too young and its very expensive. will tea be good? well yeahh i dont know, im tired of bleaching my chest and upper arms. and removing my tummy hair with the nair lotion. im soo stressed ughh. im tired of this and i just wanna give in and shave, is this a hormone problem? i think so since my mom is hairless and my dad is kinda hairy, mayb my dad? well anyways i think ill waste my time at the doctor. ohh! and my period is irregular. ): i dont like this, im tired of it. but id like to know whos like me, becusz i know im not the only one with this problem. thank you for reading this(:

I agree, Laser hair removal is a vey must for every woman.
I am 14 years old & have hair on my legs, back of my legs, arms, back(mostly the lower half), & butt. I am fine with the arm hair honestly..but the rest, I am not. I am African American but my mom told me once that I am Cherokee Indian. My whole family on my dad’s side thinks otherwise, though
I live with my dad & he is practically hairy all over, I always think he’s the reason why I have so much body hair. I’ve seen my mom’s lower half & she has hairy legs but that’s all I’ve seen.
I’ve told my dad about the problem & he tends to do nothing about it :l The only thing I have tried is shaving, it has done me no good deed because the hair grows back in 3 three days. I get so emotional over this & I always tend to lose a lot of self-esteem over this problem. I didn’t notice the hair until I was 13. I have no problem being around boys because I’m barely romantically involved
I’ve wore jeans throughout most of my 9th grade yr. I am very willing to try anything to get rid of this disgusting body hair.
I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS when I was 15. I’m almost 18 now, been under treatment since, and still not even the slightest improvement. I have black hair from my upper lip, to my chest, to my stomach area, back…practically everywhere. Also my periods are not regular, but I’m really skinny. It’s tough, but I deal with it as well as I can and mostly by hiding my body. I haven’t worn a swimsuit or a blouse with cleavage for years now. I don’t have any hope left and I’m scared that if ppl find out about my condition, they’ll laugh at me and reject me. So I decided to wax this week: chest, stomach area, back, arms…I’ll see how that turns out. Best of luck to all of you!
I’m 17 yr old female, who questions herself about her sex , since I’m sorta flat and hairy, and I have dealt with this accessive hair problem for as long as i can remember , it started to increase when I bagan puberty at the age of 11 . I really hate it , becuase I’m a good looking girl in and out , but having this hair hides the beauty . I do try to shave , wax, and bleach at times , but its just too much .I have so much going on in life and this fact makes my life harder on the way.I dress like a tomboy all the time , not that I hate it , but I just want my friends and family to see me as a girl for once, and I would like to try it myself too. I hate hiding in clothes all the time. I hate how I miss out on social events that need little less conservative clothing.I hate how I have to lie to my friends and family that I have my period , so I dont have to swim wearing a suim suit. I hate how I have a hard time talking to people and especially guys for them not to see. I dont want this to restrict me from activites in life , but I’m too scared and embarrassed to tell anyone . Since I live with my step mom , and I have’nt seen my mom these past 3 years ,I dont know who to go to.My step is nice and all , but she is a really busy women , and I’m too shy to tell her my problem I feel like a burden on her , and as a matter of fact I’m too shy to tell anyone my problem ,well as long as your not seeing my face. I just dont want people , especially my family to see me as an isolated and depressed girl, I can really be a fun person to hang out with.I just dont know to do ? and who to tell , and how to tell ??? I’m so scared and I dont have anyone to go to!!!!, I feel like I’m alone with a growing problem in me and it makes me cry every day, I want to be there for my family and friends in any occasion, I need someone to help me out on this or just to atleast guide me through the way and not freak out .
To all the Ladies,
This is very important before you go for LASER or any kind of hair treatment..
FIrst please go to you GP and check for PCOS..
If you have PCOS laser would not work at all..
So just get treated for it and then the effect is less laser will work not otherwise
omg!! i thought i was the only one!! im 22 and i shave my whole body ,arms,back,stomach etc as i am very hairy and they are long black thick hairs and its very embarrassing and i get depressed bout it all the time and often cry
i no exactly how u feel.im also 13. one person has once called me werewolf becuz of my hairy arms. also my one of my friends is always saying stuff to me like “omg that looks sooo bad” and “thats weird and gross”
i told her to stfu but yet she still always is talking about it. i have hair on my arms,legs,stomach,toes,between my breast, and on my back. its all horrible. dont feel alone. wen i go swimming i always wrap my arms around my stomach and stand behind people becuz i dont want everyone to notice. im going to try to bleach it and maybe u should too.
i ain’t sure whether i have a problem or not or wether its becuz i now and then shave my belly becuz of the very faint brown hairs which is like fair hair its annoying becuz i shave it grows faster and comes bk =/ if we have the spearmint tea will it stop the hair and will u have to shave it off and hope it doesn’t grow back as bad? i am rly conffussed not really sure it stops the hair growth problem .. i know how u gals feel n guys =/ xx
I have 13 years to sell the meat to pay my brother I leave school at age 13 to 13 years in the business
Hey,
your mother is wrong, eating more will not reduce hair growth!!!!
I know this because i EAT ALOTTTTTT like ALOT, and thankfully so far im still skinny, and i still suffer from ALOT of hair!…its pretty emberessing at times if its on my face- cus it comes back so fast and i dont have the time to always get itwaxed every few days…so i jus let it be and hope my make up covers it!….
i dont suggest to shave your unwanted hair-I DONT CARE what anyone says it comes back thick, and eventually ure gonna hav to do it EVERY DAY…oh and dont forget that it can giv you a shadow
the best thing to do is electrolosis and if you have light skin dark hair then a good laser treatment done by a nurse or what not – not at a beauty salon
it could help
BUT do not shave trust me!!!!!! and waxing your face if you have alot of hair on your face can also cause you to get wrinkles!
dont b shy but if you really are in a hurry to get rid of ure body hair i suggest just waxing it once i guess lol
i do it but i jus dont think it helps with hair growth and it can sometymes leave you with thicker hair…i dont know how it just does!
i know how u feel =/
i have hair on my bottom and on my arms and my body 
and breasts =/ and bad and stuff =/ I’m so damn scared hmm maybe u should ask the doctor which i dont wanna but i guess i will hav to tlk to my parents :S xx
hey did u end up getting any help with specailist in the end ? sorry i’m just freaked out by myself having fair hair on my belly and breasts do u know anything to get rid off em yet if not please keep me updated so i know it isn’t bad i’m just worrid it might end up bad =/
thanks sorry …
I am 12 and have pretty much hairy for most of my life. I don’t know why. It’s all over my arms, stomach, back and especially on my legs. I am too scared to ask my mum about shaving or waxing. Would someone pls give me some advice to help me bring it up to my mum to help me get rid of all of it???
I’ve got polycystic ovaries so am covered in hair Had to shave face at least once a day. I’ve just bought the new braun wet and dry epilators and used on my face and not shaved for a week. There are a few red sores, but get that with shaving anyhow so . . . all good ;o)
And I agree with whoever said “your beautiful from the inside out” if ur healthy ur insides are beautiful and that creates a beautiful outside. Skin problems and hair problems or body pains come from whatever is going on in the inside of our bodies, if we eat healthy our body gets healthy n fit causing our blood stream to be good n clean and fat free, or bacteria free which will cause our skin not only to be clear but to have a glow as well, if u take care of ur insides it will for sure show on ur outsides, we have excessive body hair because inside of us there’s an imbalancment which also causes acne in some cases, if we don’t drink enough water we get yellowish skin or dark circles beneath our eyes or we get constipated, if we have a lot of soda, we can break out and have bad teeth, not only doesn it stain teeth but it melts the enamel causes the teeth to be very sensitive, if not very then a little and then eventually very sensitive, because it weakens the teeth, teeth are made of enamel, cherish them, once u lose enamel it takes yrs to get it back, some don’t even get it back. Ok so I made my point, whatever is going on in our insides is most likelyy like 99% likely going to appear on our outsides, every flaw, ache or disorder has its cause n reason, even acne needs medical help not cvs over the counter help or pro active help, not all ppl have the same problem inside them just because they all have acne, different people have different problems that need to be solved professionally , as in by ur doctor, saves money and time, a doctor will give u direct and exact help while over the counter and online products take advantage of ur desperate need for help =(
Everyone please talk to ur doctor no matter what is bothering u, or hurts or shouldn’t be on ur skin, don’t take one doctors opinion either, get a few opinions and check out ur symptoms on web md, u don’t have to accept ur flaws or what u hate, if u do, more power to u, but if u don’t accept it then do something about it don’t be sad and forever insecure, that’s never fun and nottt the way to go!
Take care all =) now gooooo see a specialist! Treatment takes a while so u best get started, not to mention it took me 5 weeks to get an appointment, im sure after reading this page u’vbe realized u aren’t the only one with this problem, same at the doctors so make an appoitment asap!
I’ve had a normal amount of body hair until the age of 14, I started to get baby hairs on my breasts and inbetween them, and on my tummy and upper arms, lower back n butt. I just decided to keep it hidden until 9 months ago I told my doctor I think I have a hormone imbalancement and she disagreed because I didn’t have irregular periods, she offered birth control tho, and had me take a blood test, she said everything was fine n I can’t be treated for anything, 6 months later my insurance changed my doctor due to my age, so I told my new doctor I had ireegular periods to see if she will prescribe to me hormonal imbalancement pills, but she didn’t, she instead wrote me a refferal to see a specialist who is amazingg btw. Anyways he as well as my old doctor made me get a blood test, a huge one, they filled 4 tubes of my blood! He tested me for everything and anything close to imbalancement, and when he got the results he said I have serverely low female stuff and high male hormones, he basically told me im serverily half man haha anyways he gave me hormonal pills that cleared up my skin of breakout, and cleared my facial hair and my arm hair and even in my private area, and legs, and even armpits grow wayy less hair and it also takes weeks for it to grow back, I also had alottt of lower back pain for 7 yrs, I could never stand too long, sit too long not even lay down too long, and out of no where it stopped hurting and I believe its from the treament, I haven’t had back pain since I started the treament n im so thankful, I felt like an 80 yr old at just the age of 15 and was upset I couldn’t go as far as I wanted to in jogging or cleaning up my house . The specialist also prescribed diabettic pills to help me lose wait and vitamin b12 which breaks down fat cells and boost energy levels and stuff. U can get b12 pills over the counter, but he got me a nasal spray that was only good for 8 uses, and I use it once a week as directed. He also told me to take another blood test in 7 weeks and then come see him on the following week, I don’t know if he wanted to see me 8 weeks later to see if the treatment, and I won’t know until my insurance is back because I was just cut off last week =( but the meds are still available for a yr, I just have to pay out of my pocket for now , I will continue taking the med until im insured again, im sure there’s a reason the med has 3 refills before 2011, and just to be safe im going to keep takingthem because I know im not done because I still have a bit of chest hair, and my lower back and butt hair is still right here, they were the main reason I seen a specialist yet they’re they only parts of me that have not been cured , I hope within time it will tho, maybe the back area needs more time than anything else..
Anyways my point is, I highly recommand all of u to see a specialist, ur doctor should refer one to u, do not accept bithcontrol as an option, argue with ur doctor or lie like I have, if I didn’t lie, I wouldn’t have been treated, my firs doctor made a mistake and thank god I didn’t listen to her.
Even if the hormonal imbalancement treatment does not get rid of the exccessive body hair its still balancing ur hormones out which is very important because women with imbalancement will forever have difficulties getting pregnant and if they do get pregnant its dangerous to her and the baby, also my specialist told me my anger and aggression comes from having too much male hormones, and so does my tomboy behavior.
Also children as wrong as 11 years old can have imbalancements, its best to treat it asap. Good luck ladies, u can email me if u’d like me to keep u updated =)
Yeah, im 14 and get the same thing, its all black hair just everywhere! i bleach most of it or shave it, i only wax my top lip. haha, yeah im 5’11″ . by far the tallest out of everyone i know, haha, my mum is 5’4″ and my dad is 6’6″, my mum calls me a freak but then me and my dad call her a dwarf, its hilarious, anyway, i got off topic there,, your not the ugliest thing in the world, even if i dont know you, use your height to your advantage, everyone wants to be you because of your height, trust me, you’ll be envied, haha
Ok, im a model and this is an insane issue for me, i have black hairs from between my boobs to below my bellybutton, i also get a moustashe, which really sucks, i just get it waxed, which is fine i guess, but the problem is my stomach, the hairs are like over 1cm long! it sucks. And on my arms, i bleach them but really they are black, i get hair on my fingers, toes and feet too. I find it weird that i get all this black hair since the hair on my head is a natural blond, I also have very broad shoulders for a girl and no boobs, i must have alot of male hormones, hahaa.
two years ago i was hairless. then out of no where, i started getting really hairy. lower stomach, face, butt… it has made me feel so down..
when it first started, i was 15, i started lazer hair removal, but it cost so much, hurt so much and it wasnt working because “my hormones” ??
two years on and i still hate it. i know everyone says that shaving is bad, but i do it anyway (not my face) it makes me feel smooth and hairless and that makes me happy. for my face i use the epilator. it kind hurts, but its not so bad. nobody even knows that im hairy there. that too makes me happy.
ive been told to go on the pill, but my mother wont allow me to because apparently it makes you gain weight. i like my figure and i dont want to gain weight so i guess mum has a point.
the worst part is when im around boys. i just feel so nervous because i dont want them to notice. id feel so scared and embarressed. but the good part is that im now 17 and there are many boys who are interested in me and think im the most beautiful girl in the world. they say im perfect haha but little do they know about this hair problem of mine.
so girls out there, it does suck being hairy. straight out it does. but dont let that get in the way of living your life. and esp. dont let it get in the way with boys
aslong as you know how to hide it or get rid of it i guess you will be fine. because i am. hope use can all be happy to xx

I really feel for you sweetie as I have had the same problem all my life and I am now 38 years old! I have spent so much money, time, pain and tears on so many products that promise results, and I have only found one thing that works. LASER TREATMENT. After 2 treatments I can honestly say that the hair has already stopped growing, although the person I am currently seeing says that it takes 6-8 treatments to have full results. You only have to go once a month, and it doesn’t take long at all. You will also find that it is getting very cheap these days and most beauty parlours offer this. Please try this sweetie because as you get older, the problem only gets worse. You said you are already shaving the area so there’s nothing you have to do to prepare yourself. They just don’t want you to pluck or wax it. All the best.
That is so true start with you inside first, then I will ease up a little on me
I’m a hispanic male in my 30″s that has been in relationships with females with this hairy issue! and I’ve accepted there beauty as is! take in mind I’m a handsome fit guy! so just because I have a open mind does not make me weird!! They’ve felt that they are not accepted because society today in especially in the lime life feels that you have to be a a certain way to be accepted and that’s false! we are created equal with all sorts of beauty!! in the Garden you find so many different beautiful flowers!! not are flowers look the same right! of course you may be fond bushier leaves flower and others may like them with less leaves but they both are beautiful right! some people like both lots of leaves and less leave! to me beauty is in the eye of the beholder! however for me there is no different in beauty whether a girl is hairier than the other! it does not matter if the hair on her head is longer or shorter! its how she accepts and loves herself! once you love and accept your self than it does not matter who accepts you or not( believe me not all people will accept you if you were non hairy! think how you would handle that! i’D THINK the same way you should handle it now)! if you are hairy or not! regardless someone will be talking about you behind your back! so please girls accept yourself first! if want to try to attempt to do something about it because you personally dont like like it not because you seen others) then try the procedure you think works for you! brazilian, laser or this spearmint tea then go for it! but please come to a reality with self first and base your like and dislike on you, not what others say! cause other can lead you down a black hole of depression if you allow them too! (ITS A EVIL WORLD OUT THERE GIRLS! DONT FALL FOR THE WORDS OF THE WORLD! they are like bubbles in the air, when bubbles pop, there is nothing there) learn to accept and love yourself! me myself I love you all! hairy or not! you are special beautiful!! sad that not everyone in the world see it that way! but then again! each one of of us in the world have our own opinion! but don’t live off the opinions of others cause that will drive you crazy! take care of you! and keep your head up!
Okay, So I am a 13 year old girl. And I am having may problems with extra hairs. I can not drink tea it causes me too break out. And I have shaved most of the hair. it always grows back much much darker. Around my face I can not get rid of the hair. My boyfriend keeps teasing me about it. I get very nervious. Once I began too cry! I just need very much help…..It’s not turning out too well for me. Help me, please?
Its amazing to see how many people also suffer from this..this site however has definitely made me feel more “normal”,however this blog is great but i also believe there should be a website where woman can discuss this problem and talk about their experiences and products they have used and there results.. or is there any website already out there that im unaware of??im really interested however in the No!No! hair remover,(www.no-no.com) it is quite expensive however – $289.00 and im wondering is it worth investing in?if anyone has had previous experiences PLEASE REPLY
and let me no .. thank you.. also about an epilator and good brands that genuinely work?? i am a young lady and its the 21st century there HAVE to be solutions … i am gonna try the tea too.. hope it works 
im 14 years old.a girl.i have hair on my stomach,a little on upper back and lower back.and on my but.i didnt tell my mother about it.so i just decided to shave it.and now o my somch its so thick and dark when it grows back.im so embaresed by it.i need something 2 get rid of it.or something
im 20 years old female i don’t know if i got hirsutism but i was browsing to see any causes of women having alot of body hair because i was having that problem bad, i havent went to a doctor about it but after reading the descriptions i see thats what i might have. it was very emberassing because i have alot of hair on my legs, stomach,back,arms,and everywhere else u can think of and shaving doesnt do know good because it will grow back 2 days later and look as though i nevered shaved.i didnt think much of it because every women goes through this, until i realized i have it much worse,and my boyfriend joke about that it looks like i growing a mustache and felt before i even notice a few strands under my chin and face. I really thought i was alone and less feminine but im glad im not and i hope that spearmint stuff works too
I noticed I was hairier than my friends when I was 13. It didn’t help much that my Mum wouldn’t let me shave my legs or under my arms and I got hair on my upper lip. At school I was picked on because of it. As I have got older (Im 35 now). I have noticed that it has gradually got worse. My bikini line is a nightmare. I now get hair round my nipples and lower stomach. I hate it when I get invited swimming as it is such a chore to remove the hair. Recently I have started to go to a chiropractor which involves stripping to your underwear. Totally embarrassing so I now where cycling shorts over my boy shorts.
I will give this tea a go, but I won’t hold my breath. As for the girls who are worried about getting intimate with guys. Please don’t worry. It hasn’t seem to of been an issue with the guys I have been with. And if it was then they are so not worth it. Your are not alone.
I know exactly what your going through because it’s stressing me out too. I have been doing electrolysis for a year on facial hair and it’s still not totally gone. I don’t know if there is some hormonal issue going on. I am 5’9 which is taller than average for a woman and have an athletic body too. I do have large breasts which make me feel feminine but this face and body hair problem is too much for me. I always feel like people are staring at me in a negative way and I have no confidence. My faith in God and my family help me get through it and there could be a lot worse things. I think that people are quick to make judgements about you when if they had to walk a day in your shoes maybe they wouldn’t. Face it, there are good people in the world and there are always jerks looking to find something wrong with others. Don’t let them get to you and stay positive about the things you can.
My face was completely hairless just last year, and then suddenly outta nowhere my face is covered in long and short peach fuzz all over, especially where men usually grow a beard….im so sad and depressed because of this, what is happening to me, i want this to be gone for good
:(:(
does spearmint actually work???
does spearmint actually work???
I have been dating my boyfriend for 4 years now and I have never said anything about my hair. I just try to hide it and maintain it as best as I can. I’m sure he knows I am hairier than most girls, but as long as its under control I don’t think that he minds.
I have had a guy ask why I have scars and bumps from picking ingrown hairs because I normally pluck my happy trail. Yes it is mortifying and I didn’t really know what too say. LOL I just laugh it off.
I didnt know so many other women had the same problem as me. I am 19 and recently found out I have polysistic ovaries. I looked it up on the net and found that hirsutism goes along with it often. I finally figured out why I was so hairy. I have hair that grows quickly on my lip (I wax it,) my lower arms (fine,) and a line of hair that goes from my belly button and all the way down to my bikini area which is very thick and dark black. And my bikini area has quite a thick bush X( … I havent worn a bikini in YEARS and refuse to until I get this problem solved. I wear a bikini top and silky shorts on the beach and pluck the hairs on my stomach. Its so embarrassing. I have a slim body and I would love to wear a skimpy cute bikiny, but cant :’( I tried shaving a long time ago (In my..er, bikini area), but it just made it worse. It grows back so fast its insane!!! Everywhere! I mean, I get my lip WAXED and it begins growing back the next day!!! I have an appointment for an ultrasound to look at my ovaries and I really dont want them to see my belly :/ … Hopefully theyll put me on birth control pills, thats supposed to regulate your cycle (mine is really out of whack, its like totally random) and reduce androgens that cause all that extra hair. This tea thing sounds interesting, though. Can you buy it at any stores?
Got dumped yesterday. He said he’s not attracted to me anymore. I asked if it was to do with the rash on my face but he said no. I know it is.
I hate it. I have blonde hair on my stomach, I shaved part of it (bad idea, NEVER DO IT) and that part came back black
shouldn’t have done it because it turns out the blonde wasn’t even noticable. BF asked me “why does it look like you shaved there?” I wanted to smack him. I was like “umm I dunno?” sooo embarassing
hmmm
Dear Anonymous,
I completely understand your situation as I am a 20 year old hairy female suffering the same problem as you. I get thick hair on my face too but I never shave it. Shaving just causes ingrown hair and really rough skin. Since you have said that you have to wait between waxing/threading appointments, I wanted to suggest that maybe waxing at home might be more convenient for you. Why don’t you try a product called Sally Hansen’s All Over Smart Wax. It really is a great product that removes hair and doesn’t hurt the skin. You’ll notice finer hair growth after using it and will have to shave less often too. You should be able to get this box for $10 that will last you a month and any major retail stores such as Walmart or Kmart carry this brand. This is the product I use, with a combination of green tea pills to keep my skin clear. Give it a try and see if it works. Just stop shaving facial hair though
this is exactly what i’m going through! i’m 16 as well. i thought no one would understand. people keep saying i’m pretty but i honestly don’t feel that way sometimes and i’m really scared i’ll be judged when people see what i look like underneath my clothes. i started waxing my stomach but even that is growing back a little bit thicker and i even got an ingrown there! i am considering laser treatment and my mum is looking into it because i really feel as though i can’t wear a bikini and i’ts incredibly off putting when all your friends do.
i just wanted to let you know that i know exactly what you’re going through. so chin up, it’ll be alright
I am the only girl in my family that has more hair than some of the men for the family. It’s so embrassing. I really don’t mind the hair on my body as much as I do the hair on my face. I look in the mirror and I feel like I’m looking at a guy’s chin or neck sometimes. I have a “girly” face, I guess you can say but my skin from my upper lip down looks like a man. I have no idea what else to do with the hair. I have very white, and I mean white skin so you can really tell the hairs there. My self-esteem as gone down so much with the problem that I’ve been dealing with for the last 2 years or so. I don’t feel attractive for guys therefore I can’t even have a conversation with them, cause I feel all they will see is the hair. I don’t even like going out with my friends anymore cause I’m not comfortable in my own skin. This problem totally sucks and I really wish that there was a 100% solution for it. =
In response to the female that posted the question of how to tell your boyfriend you have hair issues, for me it was as straightforward as “I have a dark secret; I’m covered in hair!” Yes..I’ve always felt extremely self-conscious of my appearance so the pressure began to pile on after a year of us dating and I had to blurt it out. Granted, I broke down and started crying. I shared exactly the same thoughts as you “he deserves better, shouldn’t have to deal with my esteem issues”. I hardly wore dresses or shorts without having to go through a 5 hour ritual first.
Amusingly enough he found this to be incredibly funny and not a “big issue” at all. He reassured me, told me he wouldn’t stop loving me because of something as small as “hair” and told me I need to boost my self-esteem. Consider it this way: we’re all born the way we are. There isn’t much we can do about that except come to accept it. Beauty stems from confidence first and foremost so if he loves you he should be able to overlook such a small fraction of who you are!
I didn’t know so many girls have the same problem as me. I have an extremely hairy face. I don’t mean peach fuzz, I mean a beard. Side burns that grow all the way below my chin to my neck. I have hair on my chin too. I shave every other day, I would do it every day but my face doesn’t get smooth if I do. It is so embarassing. I’m a 23 year old female, and I have very hairy legs, butt, back and every thing else. But I don’t care about the rest of my body as much as I do about my face. I have razor bumbs all over my face from shaving so long. No one in my family is hairy like I am. I have to hide and shave otherwise I know the women in my family would be so judgmental. I avoid so many social things because of this hair. I hate it when I’m in the sun and some one is talking to me and they just stare at my hairy face, I can never look them in the eye. I love makeup, dressing up, doing hair and all those fun girly things…but just not on my self. I wish I could do something about this frustrating disease. I don’t have money to get lazer, and i have to wait 1 or 2 weeks between waxing/threading appointments…and that is too long because the hair starts to show. SO I just shave…and look nasty. I hope this tea works for us.
OMG YOU GO GURLL !!
Your so right !, who cares what other people think ? We should all just think about our future careers, our studying and later lives…us girls don’t need to think about these small things ! We have other things to worry about ! Were making ourselves depressed and brain washing ourselves because of this…
I’m thinking about telling him about my hairiness. I want him to understand and know me and the hairiness has really affected my life, so much that my whole personality has changed. Somehow I’ve met a guy and I’ve fallen in love. The hairiness has made me so insecure and now I’m scared to commit. I don’t want to lose him but I think that I should be honest with him. My situation is a heavy load and he really doesn’t need the stress but I don’t want to be alone anymore.
im 15 and i feel the same way.:( i feel horrible when i see my friends and their jst soo beautiful in their two piece swimm suits but i cnt wear those types im way to hairy man i jst avoid the pools all together
i feel like im never gonna find anyone that will like me atleast not after they find out how hairy i am. i feel lonely and ughhhh!!!
You should tell your mum about the hairiness. She is the only person who will not judge you. Whatever you do, don’t ever shave. It will ruin your skin. Use a hair remover and if you tell your mum about your situation she can even buy it for you when you need it. Good luck in the future and remember, your not alone. You’ve got us.

You are young. I encourage you to to stop hating on yourself. I also recommend leaving the “intimacy with someone speacial” for your adult years and not your teen years. You’ll regret it later and all of the consequenses; you may get a disease or pregnant, and you WILL most certainly lose any shred of self esteem you have. That is NOT the way to gain esteem. Boys just want you for sex at that age, and you will get used and trashed. Don’t let them do that to you. Keep your dignanty. If you want to get rid of hair every where, including down there, then save your money for laser hair removal. I don’t know where you live but if you live in Dallas, get this deal today before it ends for laser removal I already got it myself, my husband gave it to me as a gift.

Don’t be afraid to trust your mother, chances are she loves you more than you think, and will not hate on you, no matter how much hair you have, I know my daughter is hairy too and I love her so much.

I am a 14 year old girl and I don’t even know where to start with my problems. I have hair on my stomach, chest, all over my legs, butt, forehead(not too much) sideburns and now I’m starting to get hair under an around my lips. I don’t know what to do. Summer is coming and that means a bikini. I’m scared to wear anytype of shirt without a sweatshirt now because I’m scared you can see the hairs growing on my chest. I feel like a man. And I don’t know how to get rid of it. I’m scared to tell my mom cause i don’t know if she will have an opinion of me. I just want it gone so I can try to live a normal life. And if I pluck it or shave it it just grows back in a couple of hours. Do you think the spearmint treatment would help me?
hey
ok so here’s the thing, I hate hair removal i dont know whether its be being lazy or of all the women i’ve seen that have suffered from it. I mean my Mum shaves and although i love her, I hate seeing her stubble and in-grown hairs. My aunt on the other hand sugar waxes and even though thats supposed to be good for you it hurts like hell and so i’ve stopped doing that.
my real problem is that lately ive noticed loads of hairs on by stomach and breasts which is really embarassing since I’m a brunette with a slightly tanned skin colour, it also doesnt help that i have really hairy arms. I dont know what to do coz im scared that if i shave/wax then it will grow back worse… i just hope to god that this tea is the solution.
ps… do u think that it bothers guys that much, i mean be honest…
Alright it’s me Jordan. Now this is what you should do 2 get hair off you arms. Try using nair, or you could shave but if u think it will grow thicker, then u can try waxing. What I do is just try 2 trim them, even if it’s not that long. So maybe that can help.
Next will b how 2 clear your acne and acne scars.
I have hair and lots of it I shave and within hours or min depending on what I used its stubble.facial hair lots thank god I am fair haird or you’d see it more.but summer is now here which means more water /sun/tank tops short flipflops Yikes. I’m glad I did stumble upon this website.over the years I’ve kinda learn to love some of it. I trim down there and as far as my arms everyone hair on there arms mine might be more but its find keep th skin soft is what I do then the hair stay moisturized and lays down and is almost unnoticable
wow, i literally thought i was the only person on the planet with this problem. im 23, started noticing this difference i had when i was about 12-13…not to mention that my brothers would point out my mustache and sideburns before that age…you’d think my mom would want to help me out there and get these things taken care of right away, but i think she just ignored it because she felt awkward. i don’t blame her, really…when i started being intimate with guys, i would just shave everything (belly, back, butt in addition to legs pits and pubes)first off, this is/was a huge pain bc i’d have to do it pretty much every day so they wouldn’t feel/see the stubble. but recently i decided i’d rather wax or use a remover cream since it lasts longer and hair grows in softer-ish. but now i have the problem of getting every hair with the wax…it’s hard to see the back! and it takes a long time. also, i don’t know if i should even bother because i don’t want to have a noticeable line where i wax on my back when i wear a bathing suit..and on my butt, i now have little bumps and marks i guess from ingrown hairs/shaving. this really sucks; i’ve been thinking about it so much lately and i just want to cry about it. to some people a “silly thing like hair” might not be something to get upset over, but nobody can understand unless they have it. i really want to go to a doctor to see if i can get a pill or something to help, but i have no full time job and no insurance
any tips for removing from the back would be great!
Its a shame that social expectations have girls feeling so pressured to seek hair removal. I myself am a fit and attractive young man who finds a hairy vagina the biggest turn on. I literally get dissapointed when i find a chick has waxed or shaved (where are all the natural girls!!) I completely understand your concerns, I know the majority of men in modern day prefer shaved or waxed women. I have talked in depth with a number of my male friends and some agree with me some dont, but no female pubic area is the same and i think that body hair adds character. Thier are all types of hair removal cures lasers, creams, razors, waxes I think they are all a wastse of time money and effort. Thier is nothing worse then a prickly or bald crouch with red spots and i cant even imagine the effort it takes to remove hair all the time. I say stay the way you were meant to be, if you were my girl i would’nt mind.I know you wont listen tho, If i was you i would just make a joke of it if it be became an issue or a guy brings it up during intercourse.
I’ve met a guy I really like and he likes me too. We have not said that we’re boyfriend and girlfriend because I’m scared to commit. I guess the reason is because that will mean that he will always be around and I can’t be shaving everyday. My skin is so bad from shaving that it hurts. I’ve been thinking about telling him about the hairyness but I know that he would leave me. I have hairs on my face, chest, breasts, stomach, back, bum, toes, fingers. Its everywhere and it makes me sick. If I feel like this then what will his reaction be? The last guy I was with left me after touching my face and now I’m scared of being rejected.
i’m 17 and live in London and summer is approaching very soon which i’m not really looking forward to. Mainly because of my hairy body i feel like i’m hairy all over and i want to get laser treatment everywhere but who’s got the money for that not me. I don’t really mind my arm hairs because when boys mention it i just joke around and say women with hairy arms are good in bed but i’m slightly conscious on them. However my main problem is the hairs on my lower back belly and bum. i like my bum and wouldn’t mind wearing a nice bikini in summer but not with the hairs i have. i just need a solution i’ll try this tea thing and hair removal cream for a while but i need something permanent. I often like to keep boys at a distant because of this reason i just want to be comfortable with my body. i know nobdies perfect but i want to do something to make it bearable for myself.
I’m a 16 year old girl and i’m a junior in high school. I too am very self conscious of my body. Lately I have been shaving my vagina but keep getting red bumps. I can’t stop though…because I want it clean and everything in case i’m with someone special…
everything brings me down though. i have a hairy lower back and im a brunette so it clearly shows. I also have a really hairy butt…and stomach, but i started to shave that a few years ago which was a terrible mistake because it grows back every single day darker and thicker.
this really brings down my confidence. not trying to be cocky…but people think that i have a pretty face and it may seem that i’m good looking…but sometimes i just don’t feel that way when i look at my body in the mirror. i know that you should always love yourself…i agree, but how can i love myself if i see so many problems? i don’t really have a problem shaving my vagina, but how can i get rid of these bumps? literally, nothing has worked. and as for my back… im hoping that as soon as the summer rolls around it wont be as noticeable once i start tanning. it just really sucks though and i feel for every other girl on here. it’s really hard. you see lots of girls in bikinis with perfect, smooth, hairless skin and it just makes you feel like total crap.
We are in the same boat girl!!!!
How are we suppose to be comfortable with a guy if we are as hairy or if not hairier! At least you have dark skin! I am pale on top of it! At least I live in Canada, so I only have may-september of shorts and t-shirt weather. I just feel like being hairy has held me back from enjoying my summer. Every time I get invited to swim at a friends house or an event that involves me wearing a dress, i get depressed. As for the sex issue, I am so embarrassed! I think that there are many nice guys out there that wouldn’t mind us being hairy! It’s just about finding the right one! Popular culture and pornography has only made things worst for us as well. Men think it is the norm to have not one hair on our bodies. I trim, but will NOT ever get a Brazilian! Remember one thing, be with someone who cares enough about YOU and not your “bush” keep it trimmed and if that bothers the guy, forget about him! I am probably going to try laser for my legs in the fall! and for sure try this tea, anything can help right?! I am really happy about this blog because I feel less alone with this problem of mine! As much as I may hate my hairy legs at times, I am just happy I have legs that work and I can walk with properly! They may not be esthetically “acceptable” but they are healthy!
This is actually very inspiring! I have been shaving since 3rd grade.I am 20 years old and just ended a 4 year relationship. Lately I’ve been worried that no guy will ever accept me because I am very hairy like my last boyfriend did. I am going to try and take your advice in just trying to love my self. Although we may be hairy there is more to life then this!
I have it too but I’m afarid to tell my mom or anyone, and it’s getting close to summer and I really like this boy but I’m to scared to be in any summer clothes, I only have it kinda bad on my lower back. “/ I CAN NOT afford lazor bs. Where can I get this tea??
My skin has gone beyond using hair remover. The effects of shaving my face has destroyed my skin so its really hard to love myself or even appreciate life.
first step is to stop putting yourself down so much. how do u expect anyone to love u, if u can’t and won’t even love yourself? next do not shave, use a hair remover for sensitive skin. it does work. you are an adult now. love yourself. if u want to make ur life better, stop beating yourself up and start taking in depth care of you and your skin. maybe another reason is stress. stress will make u look 10 years older than what u really are. LOVE urself and u will see ur skin begin to clear.
Question to those who are hairy and with a boyfriend. How did you tell him? I’m 27 and I’m scared to start a relationship with the man I love. I want to be happy but how can I when I’m so hairy. He will never see me in a dress or even showing my breasts. Its best if I just let him go. He doesn’t need the hassle. Y would he want to be with an ugly girl when he can be with a pretty girl instead? I want him to be proud of me. I don’t want people laughing at him because of me.
Use hair remover. Don’t ever shave cos you will be left with razor bumps and you won’t be able to get ride of them
Hi
I’ve got razor bumps on my face and hairyness everywhere. My face has rotted and I am extremly insecure. When I started school at 11 yrs old, a girl said my sideburns were long so when I went home I shaved them off. I’m 27 now and my life is so bad. I went through depression for 5 yrs and its only now that I’m getting my life together. I’ve meet a guy and I really like him. But I keep pushing him away bcos I’m so gross. I can’t wear pretty little dresses or top that shows my chest or breasts bcos I’m covered in hairs. Summertime is the worst cos my face is covered in thick make up. I hate my life and I don’t know what to do.
Hey it’s me from the comment under ” my life sucks ” and I just wanted 2 let u know something that might also help 4 leg problems. First if your 10-19 u can do this by if your 20-30 then it won’t matter if u do it my way. So let’s get started. Ok now if u can stay up intel your sisters or brothers and even parents go 2 bed that’s perfect. So when everyone is asleep go 2 your bathroom and start 2 trim your leg hair slowly. It might take some time up 2 30 min or 1 hour maybe less, it depends. So when your done with that. Wipe all of try hair off and then start 2 put nair on your legs. And that’s because on bottle it says ” the more leg hair u have u put more on your legs ” well if u have not a lot of leg hair on u, then u can use a less. And now you wait for about 5 minutes NOT 8 minutes. ( a 68 percent chance of a reaction ) then u can’t b hair free for about 6 days or so. And when those days are up u can do it again. NOTE: if your 10-19 do it when everybe is asleep so u won’t get nagged 2 get out of the bathroom. Now if your 20-30, it wouldn’t matter because u can just say ” hold on “!! Or ” Screw you “!!! Heh, heh, and I’m sure your husband wouldn’t care.
Well there u go and on April, 29, 2010 it will be arm hair next for my quote, so stay tuned and I home this help. O O

Hi all,
I’m so glad to have found this blog. I have the same problem – hair ALL over my body. Its on my face, neck, arms, legs, butt, back, stomack, chest. You name it – I have hair there! Its disgusting and makes me sick to even look at myself sometimes. Its so depressing that I end up crying and being miserable out of the frustration! sometime i pick up a razoe just wanting to get rid of it all – but i know i’ll end up regreting it so i dont.
Im 22 now, tunring 23 and recently got diagnosed with PCOS and hormonal issues. sadly i waited a long time to see a doc because the hair wanst as bad before and I always thought i was just genetic.
The worst thing is, I want to be in a relationship but feel that no guy would want me. i feel replused at looking at myself and think who in their right mind whould feel attracted to me?! beats the confidence right outta me – especially when i hear people at work talking about it behind my back. Its tragic really. So i’ve started leaving my hair out to cover my facial hair, but its still visible.
To all the young girls with this problem, please see your doctor soon – I think if i had been diagnosed earlier the problem wouldnt be as bad.
BUT i have learnt one thing and that’s to walk with your head high, no matter how bad things are. being as confident and happy as possible is the key i suppose and thats the best we can all do.
God bless you all and hopefully we can all find happiness and peace in life
Yeah, I’m also 12. I mean I’m homeschooled so rents don’t care, but 1time I was in the car with my little sister and I notice I had a long strand of hair on my neck, and I was like ” oh crap ” and later on it grew back and then my leg hair start getting thicker 2, and my mom won’t let me shave because it’s not safe, because she split her leg wide open when she was 12. So it’s hard. I mean I wear a lot of pants at home and out, but so does my aunt and she’s 19. But it’s been tough 4 me. I know people don’t care, but I care. Like 1time my grandmother said ” look at those arms, but I’d looks cute and it suits me ” me and my mom was so ticked. But she supports me a lot. But this is what I do. If u have hair on your arms u could trim them and if u run out of nair, try wearing cute jackets that look casual. Now 4 legs. I wear alot of pants, but if u can u can re-use them. I mean they don’t get dirt right away. 4 neck. I use safety scissors and cut very close 2 the skin, but not 2 close. And 4 sideburns. U can wear your hair down but if u have curly hair u can tell your mom 2 give u banes, and that will drag away attention 2 your side burns. Well that’s what I got 2 say, but when u grow older it might get worse. Now 4 kids who is 12-16 I thnk I also know another way. But I’ll quote again on April, 29,2010. See u soon.
Hi, I have probably the hairiest arms I’ve ever seen… and I’ve got more hair than my husband in some places (like my back… he totally has a hairier butt though!
). I know how you feel… I started shaving my legs in 2nd grade because I was teased, and I shaved my arms a few times because of how bad it was… but I never did on a regular basis. When I moved to a different school in 9th grade, I wore long-sleeves for the whole year (IN MISSISSIPPI, might I add). I was afraid people would tease me, and even though I tried to hide it, I still got talked about by mean boys… They just found something else. So I think you should just learn to ignore it and feel comfortable in your own skin… and hair. Someone will accept and love you for what you think are flaws. I’m 21 and married, and sometimes (often) insecure, but my husband loves me for me and the hair comes with the package! 
Love yourself. I might give this tea a try though… why not, right?
Im 17 and i have dark brown hair. I have hair on my butt, around my nipples, a happy trail, and on my lower back. None of the guys ive had sex with have said anything about it, but I feel like it really affects my preformance in bed. I am not good in bed because I’m so self consious about my body that I can’t get into it. I am currently hooking up with this guy that I really like but I don’t want him to find someone else because I am too shy in bed.
Some days I am OK with my body and try to not let it get to me but it’s really hard, i think about it at least 5 times a day, usually more. It’s always in the back of my head.
I’m pretty happy with where I am in my life right now but I feel like being hairy is stopping me from ever being truley happy.
Shaving, waxing, plucking, and nair is only painful and makes it worse.
I tried bleaching and it made the hairs lighter but when the bleach faded the hairs were even darker and more of them than before!
I want to ask my mom to make a doctors appointment but I don’t wat her to be ashamed of me and I don’t want the doctors to laugh at me.
I dont know what to do~!
i’m 14, and i have some of the same problems!!!!!!!!!!! do NOT feel like you’re the only one. i’ve been feeling like that lately, and from reading and reading and reading i KNOW i’m not. but i still feel alone whenever none of the people i hang around have the same problem. and i have a BOYFRIEND which makes it even worse. my hairs are darrrk too. maybe whenever summer gets really sunny you can soak it up and bleach all of yours naturally. tweezing is probably my best solution…. i’m scared to wax because you HAVE to let it grow back until it’s completely visible, and LONG enough to waxx it againnn! i’m starting to hate my life too… and it’s warming up so i know i’ll be in a bathing suit and i’m just dreading it…
Ever considered buying an epilator?
It’s a like a shaver, only with tweezers instead.
It’ll pull out the hair and it grows back finer, and eventually (after a long long time) it disappears.
You can use it anywhere on your body. Even your face or pubic area.
However it hurts a lot when you first use it, but you get used to it.
You should try it…
I’m 19 and I try to make it look like I haven’t got a hair problem. I recently started waxing my upper lip, but there are so many other hairy places that it’s so hard to keep up with. My chest, my back, stomach…And the worst part is that from shaving all these years, I have tons of scars on my stomcah and around my groing. It makes me feel so insecure that I just can’t stop. I really need to see a doctor or something….
the hair on your stomach definitely won’t grow back as dark, or as thick at all. it’s a lot thinner and a lot easier to keep up with. the pores on your stomach are smaller in size too, so this will keep the stubble under control. i have this problem too, so i know exactly how you feel! hope i helped
Im 16, I have hairy arms, back, stomach, butt, and legs. Its terrible. Its thick and dark. I started shaving cause I didnt want my boyfriend to know im hairier than he is … biggest mistake ever, now its thicker, blacker, and prickly.
Ask your mom to take you to an endocrinologist to check for overproduction of growth hormone if your hands and feet are disproportionately big in comparison to the rest of you. Are you tall for your age? It’s called acromegaly. I hope things go well for you.
i know same problem as all of you. Its so annoying. i feel so incure to even talk to a boy. i will probably get it checked out to a doctor and then actually do something. All i want to be is pretty and flawless, without a moustache.
i hate being born like this so annoying, and i am short on top of that.
Im 21 and i have the same issue, Ive never had a boyfreind because i cant imagine dating someone! i feel soo disgusted by myself!! im so hairy !! and there is nothing i can do about it! i hate mirrors.
I stared noticing that I was getting hair on my chin and jaw area when I was in the fourth grade I had already had excessive hair on my arms and legs. It started getting worse in Middle school It was horrible I never talked in school I still don’t today and I’m a sophomore in high school and I have no friends because I just don’t interact with the other students because I am so self conscious about my facial hair which has grown excessively through out the years. To kind of stop the hair growth on my face I shaved it with a razor for about a year which I started in Elementary school until I found a product called Nair which works but it doesn’t thoroughly get the hair off because it’s so thick and I have to leave the creme on for about an hour for it to work and that’s pass the limits on the box. So now I’m 15 and I have hair on my arms, legs, face,chest it’s everywhere. What really pisses me off are ignorant people who tease other people about things that they can’t control. And to be honest I really don’t care anymore I’m just living life…. I just want to live a great life with a great career and stay strong in my religion because I now God has a plan for me and I won’t waste my time being depressed because of what ignorant people are saying about me.
I’m 18 turning 19 and like many of the previous commenters i’m quite hairy all over my body. I’ve always been looking for new solutions. Teasing has driven me to feeling extremely angry at myself. But now that i’m older it’s not teasing in the way of kids mocking my hairy legs. It’s lack of confidence in bed. I have a pretty face and a tanned body but i’m as hairy as most of the guys I end up in bed with, of course i wax and bleach and shave, but some areas I don’t do as much with. There’s too much pain involved in brazilian waxing and at times i think are these men really worth it? I keep it trimmed, but i’m not brave enough to try certain positions in sex and it really gets me down. I also won’t let men go down on me so have not experienced an orgasm from anyone but myself. I know i’m young but this sucks!! I’m so insecure about it and I feel like i’ll never get in a long term relationship because of this. I feel like men are put off after sex, because i’m ashamed and it’s shows in my performance.
This blog has helped though, and I was just reading about the No Scream product suggested in a previous post. I’ll definitely try it. At the moment i’m considering laser treatment, but my mum tried it and said it had little effect. I feel that the best we can do is keep looking and learning, try new products, natural alternatives as well, like this peppermint method. Though it seems none functional towards hair reduction in the short term, I’m going to try it out as a long term thing because it has other benefits anyway and it’s natural.
Summer is on its way and I just want to say don’t feel ashamed to get your kit off and bikini on, just because your hairier than most. All you’re doing is punishing yourselves that way. The sun is a natural bleach for the hair so soak it in, let your skin breath and enjoy the sun. I usually avoid shaving, but those few crucial months are the exception.
And the technology will keep improving, prices will be reduced and new methods will be found. So we have to keep our heads up, keep searching, and keep smiling
Jolene’s bleach is safe and gentle and sold at any store like cvs,walgreens & markets near the razors. It takes about 10 minutes and will make the hair very light blonde. It lastes for a couple of weeks and then fades away. It costs about $5.
I know how you feel, because i am going through exactly the same thing (but im 15) its really sad when young girls like us have to deal and go through stuff like this. i am starting to notice hair on my chin and its the worst thing ever, im not a MAN! One tme i was talking to a male friend and he noticed it but i just avoided it its just so hard and i dont know how to get rid of it, i thought about laser hair removal but ii can’t afford it. And i also have hair in my belly button area summer is about to start and i dont wanna shave it cause it might grow back ten times like my hairy legs and arms.Is there any other way??? i need helpp!
Well I haven’t gone to the doctors yet but I think I’ll
get my hair waxed or something when I get older they want
my hair to grow more i guess or maybe they think i’m to
young to get it done so i’ll just have to wait and ignore
the people who try to upset me.Right now my doesn’t feel that suckish right now but it still kinda upsets me and I still have the uncomfortable feeling of wearing anything that will show my hair.
jus wax use any wax strips like sally hanson, and it only takes a second, so do it, and its ok for guys to have some trace of underarm hair
I am 14 years old, and I’m a girl. When I was in the second grade I got teased because I had hairy arms. It really bothered me, but for a long time I put up with the pain. Then, in the fifth grade, a new boy came to our school. He made fun of me,constantly. Everyday he would say something about it. He never would let it go. So, one day I got sick of it. I went home, and I COMPLETELY shaved the hair off my arms. It was the stupidest descision of my life, because now it is like 10 times worse. I never show my arms now, because I’m terrified of what people will say. I always wear hoodies. I don’t know what I’m going to do, because summer is almost here, and it is heating up. My parents tell me that I need to stop wearing hoodies. I’ve told them about my problem, and they are completely UN supportive. I have asked them if I can buy something to get rid of it, and they say no. Also, I’m going to highschool in a couple of months. It is only going to get worse. It seems like there is nothing I can do. And my hair is dark, so my arm hair is exteremly noticeable.
Im a guy and have hair all over, nothing to excessive except the legs and pube region but oh well guess every guy is like that.
Where i fail is the arms, i shaved them and now their as thick as my beard the stupid things. I cant maintain the ingrown hairs and i am obliged to cover it up when i go out cause its a big turn off to me to have black dots everywhere. Anyone have a solution to this ingrown problem, i dont have time to do anything else but shave them.
hi ! BIG advice to all u 12 year olds considering removing hair; DONT !! u have baby peach fuzz still which as u grow older will disappear,unless you end up having androgen excess.at this stage u cannot know and u will end up regretting it for the rest of ur life. when u pluck a hair it grows back stronger in defense. u will have a lifetime of hair removal when it could disappear on its own. its not worth doing x
Thank-you so much!
that does help 
and guess what!? My dad said he will pay for me to get laser treatment! 
im so excited but he said i need to wait until im 13 but thats not to bad. I will start doing some of your suggestions while i wait 
They will deffinently help 
Thank-you again so much 
i really apreciate it! 
OMG!!! Me too!!I’m twelve too!!! I have hair alllll over me!!! My forehead, butt, lip, back, legs, arms, boobs, chest all over!!!!!!!! WEll this is what i do. I pluck the hair on my forehead and chest and lip and sometimes stomach. But i don’t really show my stomach and back that often, so it doesnt really matter. I use nair for my legs and i shave my arm pits and arms. However I don’t really sahve my arms that often, cuz i’m scared it’ll grow back like hairier. Which i know is gross. And my mom says that too!!!! it’s just, you shud just start doing stuff now. Nair and veet really work, and it’s not expensive either. And after you shave and do whatever, remember to be CLEAN!!!! cuz like that’s the best thing. I HOPE THIS HELPS

I have hair ALL over my face even my forehead!!, All over my back and stomach. My boobs my butt my neck.

Im only 12 and i cant handle living with this anymore!! I cant afford laser hair removal and ive been waxing my arms and lip but im running out of money now and its still not working! My mom and my sister always say “wait until your older it will all work out. You’ll be so pretty when your 15″ But how am i supposed to wait that long!!!?? I cant wear a bathing suit, tank tops, short shorts and it sucks! Why was i born with this horrible thing? Why am i so manly and gross??

omg, I thought I was the only one who had this problem. It kinda makes me feel better to know that I am not the only one but still i find it really annoying that I am only 12 with hair practically growing everywhere. I have it on my arms, hands and a little on my fingers. My legs and toes. My back, stomach and the middle of my chest with only a small bit on my breasts. I have upperlip hair but only faint hairs inbetween my eyebrows. I dont have acne or anything so I dont have PCO’s, so I dont know what I have, for some reason I want there to be a reason so I know there isnt random hair growing on me, I want to know there is a cause to it. I have asked my mum to book a doctor’s appointment for me and she has dont that. I hope that the spearmint tea thing works because I hate being hairy.

what you’re going thru is really hard. i was made fun of too when i was younger. first of all, you need to request from your mom that you be seen by a doctor. the doctor will be able to put you on some medication to slow the groth of the hair. then have your mom look into laser hair removal for you that could really help. i believe every person is beautiful in some way. people dont understand if theyre not like us so if your mom wont listen to you then talk to another adult that you trust.
I think this isn’t fair for us girls you know being hairy.I’m only 11 years old and going to be twelve but i got held back so i’m still in fifth grade.Anyways there’s like hair everywhere!My face,uppper lip,butt,arms,arm pits,legs,pubic hair,neck,throat,back,little bit of side burns and i think if the middle of my eyebrow grows long i will have an unibrow! So many people make fun of me and all the times everyday i’m at school.
My nose is big also and i have zits but i do wash my face.Around my boobs and stomach and chest is hairy too.Zits are on my back chest and face.People call me ugly and gross sometimes people will say ewww to me.Every single day I wait to run inside my bedroom and cry my eyes out.Constantly talking to my mom about these problems but she just says so what or just wait until you get older.At the age of 9 i shaved my arms and now I regret and hate what i did.Guys always say why would anybody like you?or ewww gross she’s hairy on her back and her throat etc. my fingers have hair on them and so do my toes.in the mirror i look normal but i see a mustache that is really noticable.People ask me why don’t you shave?So i tell them because it will get more dark,thicker and hairer.There’s girls that hide themselves because they are more hairer then me yet they still make fun of me ! My life is still a long way to go but i can’t take it.They say i like harry butts and i’m a chupacobra sometimes a mangina or they say i’m really ugly or i’m a guy.Those stupid names makes me so angry and upset.It’s not fair either my mom is like not even hairy i’m probably the only girl in the family that is so hairy!My dad probably has a hairy dad and that’s where i got it from.People always call me a loser or retard, a stupid ass, a bitch sometimes,a man, a dumbass,and make me feel like a lonely loner loser.Whenever my mom talks to me about it she makes it sound like it’s nothing and what i’m upset about is stupid.Inside i also feel mentally sad.Oh i wish I wasn’t born like this!Also i feel bad for you girls also now I know i’m not the only one with flaws that are easily noticable.OO

ever since i was little i’d been hairy. hair on my arms and legs but i always thought it was normal, or at least not anything to worry about. then when i turned 11 i noticed a few strands of hair in my underarms. other girls my age didnt have them yet. i remember raising my arms one time in ballet class and see a group of girls giggling at me. in highschool i started shaving the ‘peach fuzz’ growing on my stomach. BAD IDEA! the hair grew thicker. in college it got worse. i started noticing hair growing on my neck and chin. and the hair on my stomach got even thicker. it totally killed my self-esteem. my first boyfriend was weirdly very okay with it. he accepted me for who i was. but when i broke up with him i feared id never be able to get close to any guy again. it sucks cause i cant decide to just swim on a whim cause i have to be sure i have no unwanted hair in strange parts like my stomach.
i got my first laser treatment a few weeks ago. i have about 7 more treatments to go. hope this works! i thought it would improve my self-esteem and it has a bit. but now im worrying about the hair on my chest, breasts, and upper lip. fyi, i also have a few coarse strands on my inner thigh. laser treatments are expensive. hope i can save up again for my underarms and chest area.
oh what’s a girl to do.
I also have the same i am hairy to i have every where my mother says it naturally blah blah i think it not so i wonder why i tell my mom let me go see a doctor but she says no what should i do i cant even were 2 piece for the summer and i don’t have a bad body but i am so bummed out what should i do???
I am 56 years young, and have a big problem with unwanted hair.
My bikini line looks like a winnie bush tumbling in the bed, and that’s on a good day! Not only that, it’s starting to go grey, so it now resembles a badger!
My eyebrows are much to desired, when I look into the mirror each morning I feel sea sick, they look like an ocean wave. Not forgetting the confusion that arise from the misreading of my facial expressions, when one is out shopping in Henley on Thames.
That said, here’s the good news. I have a tendency expel intestinal gas through the anus, frequently. According to Richard! But wait for it, all is not lost, since I have been drinking spearmint tea my botty burps smell like polos. In the morning my boudoir has the aroma of a cross between watermint (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint (Mentha spicata). The plant, indigenous to Europe, is now widespread in cultivation throughout all regions of the world!

Man, I didn’t know so many people were fluffy like bears. No offense. I’m still rather little and haven’t been growing much hair all over but there is this girl at school and she looks sorta fluffy to me… her arms are like my dog’s tail! (Almost exactly my dog’s tail…)
I don’t wanna be extremely fluffy. Should I try some tea? Not twice a day but maybe only once to keep my fluff-growing-level rather low?
I’m a little younger than her only by some few months I think but I’m worried I’ll be as fluffy as her because my dad is covered in hairs all over. LIKE EVERYWHERE!
Sincerely,
Soon-to-be-puffball
OMG im thirteen and have just spent ages reading this i have exactly the same problem . hair on my stomach,lower back,thighs,upper lip, i could go on its apsolutly every where. LIKE someone said i wish i had friends like you .
This is never a subject to dismiss, as in “well at least you have a healthy body the extra hair is irrelevent”. It is painful emotionally and can severely effect a womens self esteem. I’m 34 now and struggled w this my whole life, I’m here to say that there is hope in the form of lazers, and since this technology only came about in the last few years it will become better.if you cannot afford them there are some home options- The hair removal system called No!No! Just came out with a version for facial hair, this isn’t a permanent reduction but helped my body hair manageable so I could wear regular clothes so the facial one should do the same (this isn’t a lazer). The Tria has a diode the same as regular hair removal lazers and will permanently remove hair -this is sold at nordstroms if you wish to see it and the nono will be available soon at sephora I believe. Are the cheap? No.(Nono will most likely be 200 and the tria I’d 600) If you save and spend your money saving for this instead of other methods it will result in an actual permanent reduction or complete removal. I wish I had these available when I was younger, wouldve spared me much agony.good luck
There are lots of different methods of pubic hair removal but laser removal is the only permanent one i think. They make easy to use creams that are completely safe and are pain free to use and are also very inexpensive. Shaving is probably the most inexpensive way but it is the least effective. Then waxes are effective but can be quite painful. My personal favorite is the hair removal cream.
Hi everyone, I’m 15 and also hairy but not on the face for some reason I guess I’m in the early stages because I’m not to hairy… yet. But I know I’m above average. Trust Me. Anyway I wanted to ask you. What’s your story. How bad did you have it at my age and how bad am I going to get. And also I seem to be the only hairy one in my family, not my grandmothers, not my mother or aunts, and I don’t have any sisters so… ya.But my Dad is pretty hairy and so is my uncle could I have inherited it from them or not. Should I go to the doctor and get this checked out.
Abstract: Hirsutism in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), consequent to elevated androgen levels leads to significant cosmetic and psychological problems. Recent research in Turkey has shown that spearmint tea has antiandrogenic properties in females with hirsutism. No research has vet been undertaken to assess whether a reduction in androgen levels brought about by spearmint tea, translates to a clinical improvement in the degree of hirsutism.
This study was a two centre, 30 day randomized controlled trial. Forty two volunteers were randomized to take spearmint tea twice a day for a I month period and compared with a placebo herbal tea. At 0, 15 and 30 days of the study serum androgen hormone levels and gonadotrophins were checked, the degree of hirsutism was clinically rated using the Ferriman-Galwey score and a questionnaire (the modified DQLI = Dermatology Quality of Life Index) was used to assess improvements in the level of self-reported hirsutism.
Forty one of 42 patients completed the study. Free and total testosterone levels were significantly reduced over the 30 day period in the spearmint tea group (p < 0.05). LH and FSH also increased (p < 0.05). Patient's subjective assessments of their degree of hirsutism scored by the modified DQLI were significantly reduced in the spearmint tea group (p < 0.05). There was, however, no significant reduction in the objective Ferriman-Galwey ratings of hirsutism between the two trial groups over the trial duration (p = 0.12). There was a clear and significant alteration in the relevant hormone levels. This is associated clinically with a reduction in the self-reported degree of hirsutism but unfortunately not with the objectively rated score.
It was demonstrated and confirmed that spearmint has antiandrogen properties, the simple fact that this does not clearly translate into clinical practice is due to the relationship between androgen hormones and follicular hair growth and cell turnover time. Simply put, the study duration was not long enough. The original studies from Turkey were in fact only 5 days long. The time taken for hirsutism to resolve is significant and a much longer future study is proposed as the preliminary findings are encouraging that spearmint has the potential for use as a helpful and natural treatment for hirsutism in PCOS.

Too much hair since I was 15. Tried everything. Cried every day. Every blood test said low normal estrogen and high normal testosterone. I plucked and Naired and waxed and bleached. No good results. Birth control-no good. Spironolactone and Tagamet-no good. Finally met a female doctor who said to me shave it, shave it close every day, and live your life, enjoy your life. I became an expert at wet shaving. Use the 4 or 5 blade disposable razors or the Gillette Fusion. Wet your face, apply a little moisturizer, apply shaving cream, stretch the skin, shave against the grain, fast and repeatedly in the same section, but softly. Shave over and over and over. Have a “deodorant crystal” or stiptic pencil handy for the little bleeders you’ll get before you are expert at it. Change your blade or razor every week. Makeup is your best friend. You’ll see the bumps less and less. Try a thick covering foundation: Clinique Continuous Coverage, Max Factor, Physician’s Formula, Dermablend, Coverstik, use them under a regular liquid foundation. Draw attention to your eyes and lips with liner and medium bright lips and gloss. Keep your hair long to cover your neck. Draw attention up at your hair or down at your chest and below. You may also want to try one of those “pluckers”. Emjoi. It hurts at first, but you get used to it. It is manageable, but you can’t give up. It’s a matter of finding what works for you in addition to a doctor’s treatment. If you are fair-skinned with dark hair, you are the best candidate for laser hair reduction. It costs less than you think. Here in over-priced NJ, 8 treatments for the entire face were $1378 dollars. It’s for about 10-12 months of treatment. After 4 treatments, I’m basically hair-free. I will require 1-2 treatments a year to maintain it. It is wonderful!!!! I waited until the technology improved, and although I may have waited too long (I’m 50), it works!!! I still shave lightly when I have to in between treatments. Please use only a doctor. No salons.
I’m a makeup expert and have been happily married for 23 years. Love does conquer all!!! Depressed about it?? See the doctor for anti-depressants, too!!! They really do help!!! Be strong and learn to cope. Don’t let it ruin your potential. Use the wonderful makeup products that are out there. Deformed, scarred, and burned people use them. Be happy you have hands to shave and use make-up and legs to walk to the doctor. “Our strength is made perfect in our weakness”-from the Bible. LIfe is for living, not crying, not dying. Be strong. Find friends. Find help. Help others. Do the best you can. Be honest about it. Get your cosmetology license. Help other women. Go to medical school. Be a laser specialist or a plastic surgeon. Help others to use makeup and cosmetics to go out into the world. Help burn victims, cancer victims, deformed people. You are different, use that difference to make a difference in your life and the life of so many others. Everything is for a reason. One day, you will know why.
I started using growth hormone shots at age 13 b/c I was too short. Instead of growing any taller, I got hair all over my body. (face, whole back, stomach, chest…u name it i got it.) Im now in my twenties and nothing has changed. I do everything to get rid of the hair. It is turing into somethign really difficult. I bleach but the hair is too long and are still very visible. I tried nair and ended up really buring my skin at spots. I waxed but got rash like pimples everywhere i did. The hair grew back with in 2 weeks tops (i still wax cuz i would rather have pimple rash than hair everywhere). I even tried the tea for a month or so but without ay luck. I wanna shave but am afriad it would end up looking worse. I just don’t know what to do anymore! I can’t even affor to go to the doc! It is getting me down so much that i feel like I’m constantly depressed. It feel like there is no escape. I’m can’t even be happy when good things happen to me. I just get sucked into this self hate and i can’t shake myself from it. I don’t want to look and feel like this any long. Does anyone else know another way to get rid of this hair without scaring the skin?
when people that aren’t living with PCOS or Hirsutism comment on here, and tell us how it isn’t that bad, or to stop worrying about it. I’m sorry, but you will never understand what we have to go through. Not only do I have the facial hair to make me miserable, I also have horrible cramps, due to the cyst that is on my left ovary, and the fact that it will be ridiculously hard for me to get pregnant one day. So, to YOU it may be just little hairs, but to ME it’s a hell of a lot more.
Someone asked when you should check for PCOS, and I would say pre-teen is a good age. Of course, body hair is going to develop, due to puberty, but in Hirsutism cases, hair on the stomach, FACE, neck, and chest, are the ones that send up the red flags. Keep in mind, young girls, that it is NORMAL to have hair on your arms, legs, and thighs; thats all part of becoming a woman. It’s the places I mentioned above that you should go to a doctor to get checked out.
As for remedies and ways to get rid of it; I haven’t tried the tea. I don’t think drinking some spearmint tea is really going to work. I drink all types of tea all the time, including spearmint, and nothing has made a difference. However, birth control will help slow down the hair growth and helps to thin the hair out. There is also a medication called Vaniqua that can help. It doesn’t permanently remove hair, just helps to slow down the growth. I’ve found Nair to be my best bet; I don’t ever want to start shaving my neck, and wax was messy, very painful, and the results didn’t last long at all. I have found that using Nair in the shower, ( don’t let it get wet while on your skin ) works the best for me. I think it’s something about the steam of the shower that helps open up the pores of the skin and allows the Nair to activate better. I’ve noticed that when I Nair in the shower, my skin doensn’t react as bad as when I do it after the shower, or when my skin is completely dry. The key is to get somewhat of a course towel to help remove it. Loofahs and washcloths work the best, because they have something that the Nair can hold on to while wiping the hair off. I also moisturize my neck every night before bed to try to help heal the damaged skin on my neck from years of Nair.
I hope this comment didn’t come off as negative, as someone said my last one did. But in all honesty, it’s a pain in the ass for everyone that has it, and I think it’s perfectly okay for us to cry and feel the way that we do. It’s not easy to get up everyday and tell yourself that you’re beautiful when you feel like a man. Ladies, if you want to cry about it, then do so!! It always helps me to feel better. Throw yourself a pity party every once in a while, because only the people that TRULY have it, will know what you’re going through, and chances are, they have a pity session every once in a while as well. I mean, it’s unatural to be completely positive all the time. Not saying that you can’t try to have a positive outlook, but for me, there are days when I really don’t think I can deal with it anymore. We will never stop feeling this way, until there is a guaranteed cure, and it’s okay to be mad, or upset! It’s part of being a human! Just remember to TRY to keep your head up, and that’s the best that you can do!
I have hirsutism really really bad. I first noticed it when I was 15 years old after someone refered to me as ‘Him’. I thought it would go away. Then, when I was 19, after I was dropped from my family insurance plan of course, my cousin mentioned I should get checked for PCOS. I cried off and on for a month. I’ve never been diagnosed with PCOS, but it fits. And since I don’t have a job or insurance, it will probably stay that way for awhile. My father mentioned once, his Aunt was like me and my mom said her grandmother was too. I have SEVERAL female cousins and an older sister and they all seem to have dodged the bullet. But now I worry for my niece. She’s only 5 but she seems a little ‘furrier’ than she should be, and I look at her and sometimes I just want to cry. Which happens a lot. I go on hour long crying jags, or I have days when I’m happy and say to myself ‘It doesn’t matter. I’m a good person and I deserve to be happy!’ and then I go to the store and some little smart a** calls me ‘It’ or ‘Sir’ and my self-esteem dies completely. I want to leave my cart and walk out with my head down. But I don’t, I have every right to walk around out in public without being called names or laughed at. Life is what it is and no matter how unfair it all is, you can’t just give up.
ihave hair all over my body and its hard in the summer os i get told to take my cardy off but i sed no and i got really hot and i wished that i cud off took it off but i cudnt cos off my hairy arms, i hate goin swimmin cos it shows hw much hair i hav on my body.
its very embarrising i hate it.i just wish it wud go away so i cn get and wear dresses without jumpers and weer belly tops and all that. but im scared incase i get slagged in the street.
Well, I am going through the EXACT same problem that you are… but I’m afraid to shave my chest and tummy… I have a boyfriend and there are times when we watch TV and cuddle together, and he wants to rub my belly… I usually just move his hand… but there are also times when he tells me to just let it happen and to go with the flow but I shy away since I’m self concsious about it and dont know what he’ll think. I have to tell him sooner or later since things seem to be getting serious… He does say that he loves me but I do know that he has been with other pretty girls in the past that don’t seem that they would have the problem I have. They we’re all pretty and flawless looking. I’m scared that he’ll be groessed out… but eventually, we’re going to have to spill it out! It is what it is. I was thinking of bleaching so it wouldn’t be so bad, and then telling him. I’m still insecure of showing/telling him. It’s just embarrasing to talk about in general… =/
So I’m 32 years old now. I’m arab and very hairy trust me I’ve been there. Believe it or not, there are lots of men out there that looooove hairy women and think it’s sexy. I was always self conscious about the hairiness because I was basically the hairiest girl k-12. I shave my arm hair now because I just think it looks better, for me, but I don’t have to. It doesn’t change anything. If you have one of those men who puts you down and says you’re an ape then drop his butt off at the next corner. There’s plenty of guys out there that are not pretentious and fake and who will be genuine to you. You want a guy who will accept you as you are not the imitation you, made up, shaven, freshly waxed you. before I met my husband I dated guys who never even mentioned my hairiness. Don’t get me wrong I do shave my legs and armpits and trimmed stuff down here and there because I didn’t want to be antihygenic.
My husband is also very hairy, he’s arab as well and one of my daughters is very hairy like I was. I don’t want her to be a miserable girl in school so I might start waxing her early on, sugar waxing. It’s easy to make just look online. And I have never heard of No Scream so I will definitely be buying some of that because I’ve never been able to wax from the pain. But what I’m really trying to say is that I will do my best to instill confidence and beauty in my girls. I know that there will be cruel jerks that they will come across but I hope that they will turn a cheek and realize that it’s just freaking HAIR! Our ancestors didn’t have shelter. They had to keep warm some how. Hairless people are not more fortunate then you and I. They just have genetics that are carried forward that make them lighthaired.
So take it easy on yourself. Stop looking in the mirror and saying you’re disgusting and a hairy beast. You may be surprised to realize you are your hardest critic in this life. Sometimes you have to make an effort to realize that people are not thinking about you as much as you think they are. It’s hard to believe but the world doesn’t revolve around your hairy body.
Love the skin you’re in and if it makes you happy for yourself then wax, makes hair thinner and lighter as you age. Eventually you will have that hairless sphinx look you’ve always wanted.
yeah, spearmint tea u could get from walmart(drink like 2 cups daily ) and if u shave or tweeze use tons of coco butta on the dark marks (the pure coco butta stick) u could get that from walmart, but yea its a unbalanced of your hormones u have more male hormones…..its ok just try to maintain and keep it under control i have the same thing and im in my mid 30′s so good luck sweetie…………
Hello everyone i have been dealing with this hairy stomach, chin and nipples since i was in my early 20′s im 35 now and at first i didnt understand what was going on it was very embarrssing and i felt so bad after i shave a few days after here comes the hair again. I am a black woman thats’ fair skin and have thick black coarse hair that grows. I try tweezn, electrosis, and shaving all hurt leave me burning with stubbles and irritation. So i just still tweezn and use tons of pure coco butter sticks to get rid of the dark marks, plus spearmint tea it does balance ur hormones out so drink up at least 2 glasses and use that coco butta, i dont want to take a bunch of pills cause i know God has this under control so………i blow plenty of blessing dust ur way
Hello, I am 17 and can sympathise completely with you, I have hair on my arms, stomach, lower back, chest, boobs, thighs, face (upper lip, chin and some starting on my cheeks) and even on my hands and fingers. You are not alone and I advise you to see your GP a.s.a.p… just to make sure there isn’t an imbalance in your hormones, mine is down to elevated Testosterone. I am due to see my GP again to discuss the cause and hopefully a treatment.
I found a very understanding doctor who realised how much it was affecting my confidence and life and immediately sent me off for blood tests (made me cringe but necessary) and they came back with some unusual Testosterone levels and then I was sent off for a complete Testosterone work up to find out why they were elevated… hopefully this means she can start me on a contraceptive pill or something to help it, or at least stop it from getting any worse. LIve in hope
I just wanted to say, don’t judge yourself, and no matter how much you think people are judging you, you are the only one who judges you as harshly as you think everyone else is. You are your own worst critic.
As for relationships, I promise you now, if the guy is worth it, it wont make any difference
… I have a fantastic guy who loves me as much I love him, he doesn’t care one bit. In his own words ‘I love the person you are, your body is just a bonus.’ He still thinks I am beautiful. I have a hard time believing him most of the time but it has given me the confidence to look to the future.
My advice for dealing with it? Bleach it. Don’t shave, whatever you do… it wont make it thicker, but it makes the hairs blunter and as a result far more visible, it also makes them feel coarse and stubbly. Bleach works very well, I use it on my upper lip and chin and will use it on my chest next month when I have to wear a costume for St. George’s Day.
I am also getting electrolysis on my upper lip, something I can only do thanks to EMA :S… but it is still expensive and I can’t tell if it is working yet or not… also, apparently it isn’t as effective until hormones are re-balanced… but it helps me feel in control.
Also, your family wont judge you, they, above anyone, wont care… they love you and want you to be happy… I know (believe me I know) you will want to hide away, but don’t. Keep busy and keep distracting yourself with other things. It is not the end of the world, it is not the end of your life, you are strong enough to deal with this and it does get easier to deal with

i kno how u ppl feel i hate being hairy i have hair all over my body but da best thing to do is not wear anything revealing or shave that would make your hair grow thicker and darker.
Believe me sweety, you are not alone. I’ve been doing some research on this matter and come to find out this type of condition is called Hirsutism. Usually due to an hormone imbalance where you have a high level of androgen which is actually a male hormone. The best cure for this is to balance your hormone level and the way to do this is through watching what you eat. Try to add an abundance of fruits and vegetables to your diet. Lower or even cut off sweets, pastries, fats or anything which contain yeast. Below I will list many other things which can get you on your way to starting treatment….The problem with our world and society today is that they make no time for understanding the human body and then wonder how diseases and poor health conditions take place in our sensitive human bodies. They never stop to take the time to consider the links between the foods they eat and their health but just depend on doctors who just want to hand you a prescription which will cause more issues down the line…..REMEMBER THIS TODAY ONCE AND FOR ALL. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!! If you want more help and guidance on this matter feel free to email me. MISSHAITI19@YAHOO.COM
Here are the suggestions:
-Add an abundance of fruits and vegetables to your diet
-Eat less meat (meat is the KILLER of mankind)
-Fish once in a while is fine
-Try to take 2 to 3 tablespoons of Organic Hemp Oil
-Start using sea salt (Table salt is poison)
-Start using coconut oil, sesame oil, olive oil for cooking (All other oils is another KILLER of mankind)
spironolactone really helps with acne and hirsutism – you can get a prescription from your doctor… it does take a fwe months to work but trust me, it realy does work – more so for the acne but also very much on the dark hairs – not so much the blonde haris though…
HI, I was really moved by your story.. YOu are an exceptional writer by the way.. i had bad acne (almost like cysts (lumps) growing under my skin – type of acne… I did some research on the net and found a drug called spironolactone – i can not prasie this drug enough.. it is meant to be for high blood pressure and used as a diuretic also.. however another thing it is used for is hormone related and acne and hirsutism (unnormal hair growth i women)… It woudl take a minimum of 3 months to work.. my skin is practically spot free now.. it helped a little with the hirsutism (in that the majority of my dark hairs are gone) – however i still have a lot of blonde hairs on my chin, cheeks and under chin and of course upper lip.. I have had no side effects from this medication – you cannot take it if u plan on getting pregnant though or whilst pregnant.. from memory you have to be off it at least 3 months b4 u want to get pregnant (probably best to be off it longer though to ensure it completely out of you system).. it is an anti-androgen (blocking/reducing the production of testosterone) – this really cleared up my acne.. hopefully this will be your cure.. good luck…
hi from the one that had the tumor removed ! i have been a believer since forever,but would consider myself now somewhat backslidden. i have overcome many family trials, losing my brother in a horrendous car accident, my mother being diagnosed with serious illness and much more. it feels so stupid that something like this has brought me down. but it has. i just struggle with the fact that God says he will never make us suffer beyond what we can handle. i cannot get away from this hold over me that is making me want to end my life. He has given me more than i can bare. i would love to have your faith and a love for life . but i just dont. feels like a message meant for me though
Sorry that I chose this comment to reply, I just start writing after all I read, but this reply is to all of you that want to read it.
I am a 23 years old male and as I have read, shaving is the best solution besides it is cheaper than laser and any other solution. I am hairier than any body in my family, after a week of two every body is telling me to shave, if I don’t things get hairy *_* It may not be as much pain in the neck to me as to some of you, (it’s because I’m a guy), ^_^ but I take pride in my hair, besides I like to be hairy and I love hairy girls. I love hair so much that I’m letting my pony-tail grow, right now is up to 15 inches and very well taken care of. Because it is going to be donated to some association that can make wigs for kids who had cancer. They don’t grow hair at all. T_T (talking about ones curse, for other you may say is a blessing) ok back to the main point thing for a better shave.
First, select you razor: I prefer razors than electric shaver, I think that razors may leave you with a smother skin and less black dots. I have never use a women razor but if you have as much hair as you said you may want to try a male razor, try different kind of razors to see which is better and work with you. I don’t buy cheap razors (e.g. imitation, a bunch in a bag or two blade) they only leave my skin sore and doesn’t shave well. I’m using a “Gillette” of tree blades (because I’m cheap and don’t want to buy the 5 blade) but the 5 blades it’s a lot better, I only bought it once with the razor heads that came with it and never bought any more heads. Man I’m so cheap. Anyway.
Second, buy foam: As I told you before I have never bought girls stuff, so I only know man products, foam make u shave easier and faster with less strokes, I use “Barbasol” that I found in dollar stores and sometimes in Walt-mart, but one thing is sure they are cheaper than other foams.
Third, and very important: Always when you shave, shave AGAINST THE HAIR, this is very important because if you go along with the hair you have to stoke the same spot many times and may leave you with sore skin and black dots,
Fourth, new is better: After some time of shaving maybe days, a week or two depending of how much you shave the blades wear off and you’ll see that you are starting to stroke more times than before that’s a sign that you need to change your old blades.
Even famous actress and models are hairy, and do you know whats their secret…..they take care of it all the time, make it a habit, take care of it, if you have bear take it off when you go to the bathroom, you have always some make up or a comb or something with you, make a habit to have a razor, but be very careful to wrap it in something clean so it doesn’t get anything in it like a bacteria or something.
That’s all I have for now, sorry, I didn’t went into details, but I don’t have any more time, If you want to contact me to know how I transform my hairy cheeks in to a baby @$$ cheeks or for anything write me at ppdavid1@hotmail.com
PS. I’m not an expert I’m just giving you my opinion as I want to be of help to all these women and some guys. write me don’t be shy, you have a friend here.
Hello, my reply is for the woman who mentioned her excessive hair problem after having a tumor removed. I unfortunately think I am going through the same thing now. I had several tumor fibroids removed from my uterus in Feb 2009 and three months after the surgery I started to notice hair growth on my face then all over the body. It feels like every hair folicule on my body started to become stimulated. The facial hair is all peace fuzz and only dark chin and mustache hairs appear. the peach fuzz growths long about half an inch all over,chest,breast,arms,buttom,thighs etc. This coming from a woman who was once told by a man that he was impressed by how little body hair i had in my thirties.. I am now 31 and not only have to deal with hair I also deal with severe acne which resulted only on my cheeks which i was told by doctors is related to a hormone imbalance. I have been seen by an endocrinologist and they checked my hormone levels only to tell me that they saw nothing wrong with me. The dermatologist claim the acne pattern is hormonal.. So after many tests and becoming weary and falling into some depression because no one could diagnose me I started to pray about it. I asked God for help because I just like everyone else here was feeling like life wasn’t worth living this way. I have started to have self esteem issues and self image issues not something that is normal for my personality. I ask God to direct me to someone who could help diagnose me. I ended up finding an herbalist doctor who deals only in natural herbal medicine. I went to a consult and gave him the same labs everyone else had seen time and time again. I prayed god would speak to him and give him the wisdom to see something no one else was able too.. and thankfully God was faithful and the doctor did realize i did have an imbalance and that it was due to the tumor removal and 10 years of birth control use. I am now on a nutritional plan along with herbal suppliments desined to help my body get back into balance.But the road has been hard and progress has been slow.. I believe god is using this opportunity to humble me and change me to who he always wanted me to be. I truly believe God loves us and everytime we go through trials in our lives its to teach us life lessons and to prepare our character for bigger and better things in the future. I have learned to endure and persevere through what I would call the worst time of my life. Never would I have thought i would get to the point that i thought God … if this is the life you want me to lead, take me home because I don’t want it..I read the bible now more than ever and have a true intimate relationship with christ. Something I always wanted but never truly made time for.. Now I have nothing but time for him and my heart and priorities have changed for the better. Do I still struggle? Yes, everyday because everyday i look at myself and see all the hair and acne..but i get on my knees and pray he takes the pain away so I can endure another day. Thats all we can do is try our best to live another day and love god for the life he has given us anyway. One day it will get better because God promises he loves us and he will take care of us. Gods word saids in psalm 37:4-5
take delight in the lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.commit everything you do to the lord. Trust him, and he will help you.
God doesn’t want to see us suffer, pain and trial only come for a season for those who love the lord and are called according to his purpose. I encourage you woman who don’t know Jesus christ as your personal savior to call out for help and his salvation. Only God knows what we are going through since most of the time we are so ashamed to share our burdens and when we do we seem not to get the comfort we need to feel at peace.. God offers this, Peace in the midst of a storm.. I love you guys and I pray that all of you find the peace that helps you bear another day of the shame we feel inside..We are obviously not alone in our struggle with hair…I will share your burdens because only you guys truly know the pain it causes a persons heart..May God bless us with better days going forward…. I challenge God with his word and you should too.. he saids if i delight and commit my ways to him he will give me the desire of my heart.. and my desire is to be restored to a life of acne free skin and a balanced out hair cycle.. God created me in his image but not once did he say woman were created with excessively hairy bodies..
Easier said than done,especially within society today. It messes with you head and creates paranoia.
i just wanted to tell you to not feel bad ai have hair everywhere but what you can do is drink spearmint tea which u can find in heb walmart or any foos store or natural food store and drink 2 times a day for at least 5 days do this 2 a month or so ..the more u drink it the better during the month ..reason yo grow a lot of hair is because your body is producing a lot of androgens and your body aint able to block them and that is a type of hormone tht is a type of male hormone that us women have as well but our body is not able to get rid of.
i have been reading almost al yor comments and it makes me feel a bit happy tat i am not the only one that is sufferering…. i look at the girls on tv and think to myself one day i be able to feel like these girls maybe in the next year or two but it never happens i hope and pray to god that one day ,maybe all the hair will just fall out when i wake up the next morning…. i know it is sad to think something like that will happen…. i really want to go to the salan and start getting a full body wax but i am embarrased what they will think what they will say behind my back… i wanted to know if you anyone have gone to get your back butt and stomach waxed i a salon how comfortable did you guys feel?
you right, i am agree with you.
Hi everyone!
I read A LOT of comments and decided to tell you how I feel and what i do.
I have hair everywhere, except chin and neck as some of you do. My case is 100% genetic, because both mom and dad are very hairy, and most of my family is too.
Since I was like 10 maybe, I started to dye my leg hairs because my mom wouldn’t let my shave (thank god). When I got older and stared to wear skirts, I started to shave my legs like every girl does. With time, I started to notice my body hair in a way I hadn’t before.. all that beauty crap got me. So I decided to dye my arms and moustache too. The only problem is that the hair turns blonde, and I am not, so you can kind of tell that’s not natural.. but it has worked for me for the last 10 years.
A few weeks ago I decided to shave my arms. Some days I regret it, and some days I don’t.. It’s weird, and you probably have felt this way too, when you start to think about it and one minute it’s stupid, and the next you are almost crying (I DO NOT [ALLOW MYSELF TO] CRY OVER BODY HAIR AND YOU SHOULDN’T EITHER)
So, my advice: dye it. All of it. I do my arms, back, butt, stomach, and face. The first day is awesome and then not so much, but I think is way better than shaving.
For the record, I’m 20 and constantly tell people that I hate summer time and that’s not true. I wish I had the balls to let it go and have fun like the rest of my friends, but I’m not ready for that yet. Hopufully I will get over it and you will too! =)
I am so sorry that you girls have to go through this situation, unfortunately i go through the same thing too. Since i was 17 years old and i am now 25 years old i have been dealing with this curse i cry whenever i look in the mirror cause i suppose to be a women not a man this is very embarrassing, and i don’t have the money to get laser hair surgery or electrolysis on my face. I am a black woman so the say its not good for us to use the laser or electrolysis because it will change the pigment of our skin. I don’t know what to do the chemical thing,waxing, and tweezers to remove hair irritates my face and the razors leave bumps and scars now i have a shadow on my face. So girls on here who has not started to shave DON’T DO IT I REPEAT DON’T DO IT you will regret it i wish i never started shaving. I wonder why this situation is not talk about like on television show or why don’t they have any over the counter pills to get rid of it they have everything thing else why not have something for permanently removing unwanted hair on your face that is embarrassing for women and younger girls. I guess they don’t care cause the people who don’t have it don’t have to go through it. I’ll pray for you all every night there has to be a way to get rid of this curse forever keep your head everyone

we make a big deal because it is ! aside from that unlike you alot of us are growing man type beard and face hair. this cannot be covered with clothing,so yes it is a big deal.
I’m not a teenager but have been dealing with excess hair on my chin, lip, and chest/stomach for pretty much all of my life. I found your post to be very uplifting- not only is it comforting to realize that this is a lot more common than I thought, but also to hear that it’s ok to accept it and move on and enjoy life! Thank you- it’s just what a lot of us in this situation need to hear.
hi ! did you notice it getting obvious at a certain time or have u always had it ? i feel im head to toe covered and though people say im still beautiful i think it looks so un natural. i feel like bursting into tears looking in the mirror. people look at me strange and its so hard to live with. i have no hormonal problem and doctors say they dont know why it happened. not very comforting
i wish i could enjoy the things others do in life – swimming being out in the sun and having the confidence to look people in the eye without feeling humiliated.
Hi!
Oh I definitely know how it feels. I’m 21 and I am also has hairy. My lip,chin,cheeks,legs,arms,hands,feet etc… Long,blonde and shiny in the sun. However, my hormones are fine…and everything else seems to be normal. Its a horrible feeling looking in the mirror everyday. I wax my chin and lip and shave my hands. Im growing tired of it though… I want it all gone.
id like to know about the spearmint too,has anyone tried it ? i am a mother of three and also know the anguish of living with this humiliating condition. it makes me feel like a man and embarrased on behalf of my kids and husband for being like this. mine all started very suddenly from a tumor 2 years ago that once removed only made my facial hair worse. i have honestly never seen anyone with the pattern of hair i have. it covers my entire body,very long and noticeable,my face and neck long,long blonde fur type hair that shines and looks horrendous in the sun ! all over,even under my eyes. lots of black hairs covering chin,proper black moustache hairs. it looks to me so freaky,not even male pattern really just completely fuzzy.hands,toes,fingers all covered. it restricts my life completely and like someone else on here said if it werent for my lovely kids i would prefer to not be here at all. i even hate summer days as i look so horrid. life is not worth living like that. does this get easier ever ? i guess if you could accept it but i just cant as i am so disgusted with myself all the time. if you dont have this you can NEVER understand how it feels.
Has drinking spearmint tea worked for anybody yet?
Has drinking spearmint tea worked for anybody yet?
I have the same problem as everyone else here.
I am 15 and i have hair everywhere, from my back to my chest to my whole stomach! I am scared i might have PCOS, i recently told my mum, and she tried to say how she has hair too, so i didnt need to worry, but she didnt have one single hair on her stomach, back or arms so how would she know what im going through and telling me not to worry. how can i not worry when i cover my body up 24/7 and i dont even wear t-shirts.i am planning on losing weight as i heard that losing weight can help and im also planning on going to my GP, however im so scared and embarrassed, i dont know what my gp is going to say but hopefully not what my mum said, because then t would just be wasting my time and a waste of my effort to build up my confidence,i hate my body so much, not only do i have hair everywhere but i have hairs growing on my boobs recently too.
how can i be in a relationship when i can even show my arms to my family without them being disgusted and myself being disgusted.
It’s so comforting to know that there are other girls who are in an identical situation. I have hair on my neck, back, nipples, chin, arms, stomach, chest, toes, feet, legs, butt, face, lip..virtually anywhere. I’m 14 and I’m really pretty. I have a daily routine to remove the hair that takes 3-4 hours. I lost my virginity when i was 14-I think I did it to prove my feminitiy. I used to feel like no guy would ever want a hairy girl like me. I used to look in the mirror in disgust. I don’t think I will ever be able to accept myself this way. Luckily, I can hide the hair pretty well. For years I thought that I had pcos. My mom finally brought me to the doctors to get a blood test to check my hormone levels. As of now, all i have are spiked levels of testosterone..but nothing that alarming. In 2 months, I have to go in to get more blood work done. Recently I’ve realized that the reason why I am so desperate to find something wrong with me is b/c I feel like if I do have a disease, particularly hormonal, they can treat it better and stop the hair growth. Right now i do a combo of shaving, smooth away, waxing, and nairing. I have scars on my stomach from plucking for over a year. I’m a perfectionist so no hair is left. Still, I’d do anything to get laser hair removal. Sucks not having that much money.
has any one ever felt that there is no sollution to get rid of hair i think there is nthingh in the world to get rid of hair . my mom said she had the same thing then why dont i see hair on her arms. any way when i was 5 my mom set me up for swimming class she had buyed me a 2 piece babying suit every one was making fun of me so when i was 5 i raised money to buy a waxing kit . it only worked for 3 days . they wouldnt let me get a laser so i started to shave every where.now im 11 in middle school and im still shaving i feel like a gorrilla . this is stupid why did god give us this curse he hasnt seen how much i have sufferd .
You see body hair out of the society now…and even nature does not give much hair to men anymore……but i happen to be a very hairy guy unfortunately…..and i HATE HATE this fact.But i just cannot help it.
Generally men do not indulge inhair removal procedures(common man).and girls say they “EWW HATE HAIRY MEN!” they are nasty things.
so my life is a depressive one due to my very hairy body.
CAN SPEARMINT TEA / CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS work for me?
I hate my testosterone its too much.
I have the same problem, and have dealt with being very hairy all my life. I recently found out I have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome), which is the cause of my excess hair. Other symptoms of PCOS are irregular periods, weight gain, having a hard time losing weight (especially in the stomach area). there are medications you can speak to your doctor about if they diagnose you with PCOS, which is most likely the cause of your excess hair. There is something called Metformin (Glucophage)…..this can help reduce the hair, and help you lose weight. Also, there is a progesterone cream that you can use, or VITEX (which is available at health food stores), and helps to restore the hormonal balance in your body. also there is a cream called Vaniqua (I think that is the name), and you can use it on facial hair….it helps to reduce it.
I know this can be one of the most embarrassing things to live with….but do talk to your doctor, and ask them to check your hormones, and check for PCOS.
I came across this site as I’ve just been for my third laser session to remove my cheek and neck hair. I’m as amazed as the rest of you that I’m not the only one with this problem. I’m 33 and I’ve been fighting being hairier than my society for, oh, 25 years.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
1) Teenage girls are the nastiest beings on the planet. It’s a universal law. At your age I got every single insult you all did. Nowadays, those *normal* girls look their age, their hair is thinning, they’ve got wrinkles. Me, not so much, artists want to draw my eyes. It’s 2010 already. Flip the nasties back as the ignorant, racist throw-backs they are.
2) Guys are way, way, WAY nicer than girls and magazines. I’ve gotten dates with *four* handicaps: hairy, big nose, flat chest, short. For the record, in 14 years of dating, only ONE guy has insulted me about it. A whiter-than-white balding Caucasian. Who abandoned his daughter. And gets his jaw broken into bar fights. See my point?
3) Waxing my face just made it worse – thicker and more numerous. Hair bleach has been the best. The brand with initials S and H works best for me.
4) Don’t get so hung up over your hair. I’ve just come back from a holiday where I was banned from removing the facial hair, pre-laser. And NOT A SINGLE PERSON I met reacted – and believe me, I’ve learned to be sensitive. Please, don’t cover up your arms, go swimming, enjoy your life. I’m especially speaking to the girls who are covering up their arms. I’ve been there. In school I would pluck the hair off my hands, I’ve waxed from my shoulders down. We’ve just got to accept we’ve got more of a beauty burden then the rest. Pay-off: more lashes and head hair! No mascara ever!
I hope at least one girl reads this and avoids being embarrassed 24/7 and hiding their teenage years/twenties away like I did. The world is a really fun place, and you deserve it as much as the hairless people. If your friends are the ones giving you a hard time, time to get new, non-racist friends.
Ok, I’m 14 (Hispanic) and have been dealing with upper lip hair and hairy legs since I was 10. I HATE it, every now and then there’s a MORON who points out the fact that I have a mustache, it gets me PISSED, I’m in high school, the youngest, one of the skinniest,(I look anorexic sometimes *im not*), and one of the shortest. Last year my mom bought me veet and let me use it on my legs, i was SOOOOOOO happy, I didnt know my skin could b soooo smooth and pretty. By the end of the school year it started burning my skin, so she bought me smooth away, which had a similar result but takes sooooo much LONGER. I told my grandma to tell my mom to let me wax. I’d been fighting with my mom for this since 6th grade, so 3-4 years. I guess they talked and I overheard that I was getting laser for my b-day. Well, my b-day PASSED A WHILE ago, I still haven’t been able to remove this curse. I have some VERY good friends, but when they start talking about mustaches, I get all self conscious, I know she’s not talking about mine, but it still hurts me. I’ve recently discovered hair on my chin, not very noticeable, but it bothers me, so I use smooth away, and it works, doesn’t come back for SOME time, I asked my mom if I could use it on my upper lip but she said “Don’t you DARE!!!” ARGHHHH Sometimes I get so depressed that I go in closet and cry myself to sleep. The ironic thing is that other days I look at myself and see how sexy my body is, but then I look at my upper lip and all that self-esteem goes down. I have some a trail of hair going through my belly button, Im thinking of using smooth away, but since no one sees that till summer, I’ll wait. Once I shaved my pubic area cause I heard that’s what everyone else did, but as soon as I started I regretted it, the sad thing was that I couldnt stop until it was all gone. I KNOW im pretty, but sometimes I dont see it. What bothers me most is that every corner I turn I hear people snickering, laughing, making side comments. I just feel like screaming when that happens, and telling people to shut up. Before school started my mom said something about fixing my eyebrows a little. A few weeks later I asked her “Weren’t you going to fix my eyebrows?” and she said “I’m still thinking” It’s the middle of the school year, and she still hasn’t done anything, I feel like she has NO idea what I go through. When I tell her that she says, “I know what your going through I went through the same thing.” Then I think to myself, I went through it, why don’t you do anything to change it. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! PARENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*I feel so much better letting out my feelings*
OMG same here! I just have an issue with my CHIN HAIRS they leave my face sacred when I remove them. When I gained 20lbs that when more grew under my chin and neck area…but no one can see it. I dont shave or pluck it. I just get my mustache waxed, and i try to even my skin tone so the black blotches are not too reveling. I know that if I loose weight I wont have to worry about my facial hair. Im glad only I notice it…Im Black, but a tad bit light brown…the rest of my face is clear as a crystal! My chin however is in the way. I harte it. I do have hair on my boobs, buy once again it is not noticeable. Yes my arms and legs are hairy, But im not worried about that. waxing will reduce and slow down hair growth, trust me! Im taking HORMONE pills for TRANSGENDER CROSS OVER MEN….the pills work for men to lower their testosterone so they become more femine. I just started taking it last week, no results yet. But I know it will work. the pills are called OVERY PLUS, if anyone wanted to know. I also have on my face, but it is naked to the eye! Only I can see it, no one notcices it….and I have side burns too
I am only 16 years old and we apparently have identical problems. I have been dealing with it for the past 5 years. I have shaved literally every part of my body before I realized what the consequences of that were. I have a nice body and I am often described as beautiful but I can’t wear anything that is revealing and I constantly hide my neck/cheeks/chin/etc. My stomach, breasts, stomach, abdomen, buttox, etc. is covered in hair. I don’t know what to do. I have a beautiful pool and plenty of amazing guys chasing after me but I can’t have a pool party and I can’t be with guys I want to be with. I have amazing skin… well HAD amazing skin but now I wear harsh coverup in order hide the stubbles. I can’t help but feel jealous of other girls who don’t have to deal with all this crap.
You have the same problem, what causes it? Have you gone to the doctor? I know it might be from hormone imbalance but I don’t have the money to go to the doctors…
I’ve always wished I could be “normal” I have been dealing with this horribly embarrassing problem of excess hair for about 10 years now! I don’t know exactly how I made it this far, thinking back as early as elementary school when my facial hair was just starting to come in I remember one of my closest friends asking m if I used to be a boy cause I had a mustache!!! Now if that didn’t scar me as young girl I don’t know what else would have! As I went through my teenage years it was so difficult to just be myself, I was always holding my head down to hide from people looking at my neck and chin, I wasn’t comfortable having sleepovers in case I needed to shave and couldn’t, I was afraid to have a boyfriend incase he was disgusted by my hairy body, I wouldn’t wear anything revealing and never ever would I wear a bikini!! I remember awkward conversations or jokes about hairy women or women with nipple hair and I always wonder if I looked like I was faking when I laughed at their jokes or if they could see right through me as I shamefully looked away pretending to laugh. I found it so hard to deal with but over the years I have come to accept it as it is just who I am and there is no need to hide or be ashamed, I am healthy, beautiful, feminine and I have a wonderful husband and darling son who love me just the way I am. I have tried electrolysis, which was very expensive and painful and results took time but I couldn’t financially afford to keep up with the maintenance and it didn’t take long before it was right back to where I had started. I have also in recent years tried laser hair removal which again is painful and expensive but it worked a lot faster than electrolysis again I couldn’t afford to keep up with it and once again went right back to where I started for darkness and thickness of hair growth on my face. So now I just shave EVERYDAY it is quick easy and inexpensive it just gets the job done. Towards the evening I already will have stubble on my chin but I pretty much never go anywhere without makeup on and just hope no one gets that close to me to see it!!
When it all come down to it you just need to remember that things could be a lot worse and we would be lucky if this was the worst type of embarrassment we had in our lives. It is just hair and we didn’t make ourselves this way its just who we are.
Please Please Please dont comment on things that your not trying to live with.
I have pcos and the worst case of unwanted hair my local drs have seen and it is HELL…..
It doesnt matter how nice you are, how positive you are ( I am a positive person by nature) how long you have it or what you do about it ….it is always there, there is always someone commenting, snickering, talking about possible solutions “for the poor thing”…..
I am trying to find someone who will remove my hair follicles surgically cause i cant take it anymore….
I am sure that if I didnt have 4 beautiful children ( from an abusive relationship where i was called the bearded lady, told i belonged on display in the circus, a fat circus freak etc) who need me then i wouldnt be here……
i have dark hair and grow a beard thicker and darker then my husband did…. I also had more hair on my chest ( to be fair he isnt an overly hairy guy as far as men go). i also grow dark corse hair on my belly , my bottom my lower back and my pubic hair grows down my thighs…..
The worst thing is that getting to my ideal weight did nothing and neither did the 4 scripts im on
And unless you have had your 6 yr old ask you not to kiss him because your face is more spiky then daddies then you have no right to tell us to be positive, not to blame god not to hide or anything else… it is hell….
Oh honey i feel for you, I live with the extremes of it everyday and i had a daughter 2 yrs ago and now i am frightened for her everyday…
I have been doing research and it all says that if young girls have any signs it should be seen to ASAP as it is easier to treat the earlier its caught.
honey sit down in a respectful mature way and explain to your mum how you feel and how it effects you …. maybe even show her the rersearch you have been doing…. there is also daplimotry creams which may be suitable but waxing would be best. I have extremley sensitive skin so i wax at home myself it is call Nair NATURAL COLD wax…you dont heat it so it has less allergy affects on your skin.
take care and keep your chin up.
Have you tried seeing an endocrinologist about your problem? They specialize in hormone problems and perhaps could treat the underlying cause of your unwanted hair. You may also keep in mind that, regardless of how you feel right now, no one is perfect in this life. Everyone has different imperfections. There are many who would probably be glad to trade your problem for theirs anyday. I’m not trying to underplay the turmoil you go through with this, but even contemplating suicide because of excess facial hair means you need to have a better balance or view of life. Do you really think God takes delight in your misery? I would like to challenge you to get to know Him better before you lay those kinds of accusations at his feet. What I do know is that when we have these kind of things in life that we are not alone, there are many more out there that need a word of encouragement and acceptance. Right now your message is pretty negative, kind of I have excess hair so my life isn’t worth anything. How about something more positive like I have excess hair but I’m still a valuable person and you can find acceptance here.
I previously posted the one that said, ” No one notices but me eh?”
I go through periods where I feel like I am the ugliest person in the whole world. I really do get suicidal, and it’s amazing that I am still here. I tell myself that I’m never going to get married, so what is the point of living because at some point, I would like to have chilren. However, I do realize that as a person after me said, the hair CAN be taken off. At the end of the day, it can be shaved, naired, or waxed away. I get embarrassed everyday, but I also have this theory as to why I was unfortunately “blessed” with Hirsutism:
I feel like I was cheated out of a happy, normal life. I think people who don’t have to struggle with this, don’t realize just how awful it can be at times. Like I said before, I HATE not being able to wake up and not worry about it. I hate lying in bed and my hand running over the stubble on my neck. I hate that my neck burns all the time from the Nair that I have to use everyday. I hate everything about it; I hate that I freak out on guys, and I also hate that I am fairly alone in this. I was lucky enough to have one friend in high school who had the same problem, however she was african-american and so her hair blended in with her skin, but she still felt the same way I did. I repeatedly curse and get angry at God because I don’t understand why He did this to me. I wish I had some wonderful, insightful reason, but I don’t. All I know is that after having been called ugly most of my life, I now have a new respect for other people’s feelings. I don’t EVER call anyone ugly, because I know just have painful that word can be. I know that particular word has been known to make people commit suicide, and I would not ever want to be the reason for someone’s death. I know that although I have an average face, just a few inches below, I struggle with a defect. So, over the years I have learned to be the nicest person I can be, in order to try to make up for my unwanted hair. Like I said before, I struggled through college and I was determined not to let it inhibit me in college. So far, I have done a good job of taking care of it. I do have to get up earlier than my roomate to be able to fix myself, but it is worth it in the end.
I know that myself, like many other women, will probably have to deal with this for a loooong time from now, but we have to remember to take it in stride and to still be the best people we can be. I am determined to find a permanent solution to people who struggle with embarrassing unwanted hair. I know that there are people who shell out dollars to get laser, but even that isn’t guaranteed. Granted it does make me mad when people write about their peach fuzz, knowing full well that it is normal. EVERY part of your body (except palms and bottoms of feet) have hair, so it frustrates me when people complain about something that I would love to have, to be normal. I don’t mean that you can’t be mad as hell about it PCOS and Hirsutism , because I am, but just don’t let that affect the relationships with other people who don’t judge you based on your face value.
Do remember that just talking about this, and raising awareness is actually really helpful and it needs to be adressed. Even though we aren’t suffering internally, it does a hell of a lot emotional and mental damage to us women.
Take care of yourselves ladies!!
I’m very sad for you and for all the girl that suffering from being hairy but i’m on of the guys whoo attracted of hairy girls
anyone that wants can write to me

I know exactly what you mean about everyone going “ewwww gross!” I had a class also about women with excess body hair. I felt like sinking through the floor! It’s so humiliating! I just wish there was something I can do to damage those hair follicles FOREVER! I’m doing laser treatment, but not even that seems to work! I’m hairless for 3-4 blissful weeks and then terribly hairy for 2/3 weeks again. I get so depressed sometimes and just avoid people as much as possible during that time. Only my sister knows about it. The hard and sad part is that I don’t know anyone with this problem, so it really helps reading about it here. Thank goodness for internet!
I have the same “hair everywhere” problem also. In addition to that, I have stretch marks on my knees, tights, and butt. (No i was never overweight or pregent.) Oh and I suffer from eczema on my legs and acne on my back and face. As if that is not enough I stand 4’8′ tall at the age of 22. Needless to say I entirely hate my body.
Off all of my problems, I find my hair and stretch marks to be most embarrassing. I have been bleaching my face, stomach, and chest since I was in high school. Ya bleach does make your hair turn blond and I am Indian so I have brown skin. I learned the trick is to not leave the bleach on for the whole time that is on the instructions so the hair doesn’t turn super blond. That is how i can get away with just bleaching these areas. I shave my legs and wax my entire back. I feel so unfeminine because of this problem. Only my mom and sister knows about this problem. None of friends know. I don’t think they would even understand cuz they say how gross it is that guys are hairy. I just laugh but I secretly wonder what they would say if they find out how hairy I am. Lets just hope they never do. I always have to hide behind my clothing from head to toe.
The sad part is that even when i shave/wax and pluck I can’t wear anything reveling cuz of my other problems (acne scars on my back, strechmarks and my ezyema). Just thinking about it is so very depressing. I feel sooo very veryyy uglyyy!!! I don’t believe any guy who would like/love after he finds out how ugly my body is. I mean why would any guy want to be with me when every other girl has a much better body than I do.
Ya if you haven’t guessed I have never had a boyfriend or even been kissed. I hate how I’m!! I try not to let it get to me. It is just soo harddd sometimes. What is worse is that I don’t really have anyone who would listen or even care how I feel about this matter. My mom and my sis do not have these problems so they are not sympatric. Sometimes they are a even little disgusted though they never say it. I can see it in their eyes or their facial expression when I talk to them about it. I am just so glad that i found this site and have other who are more understanding. I am so very sorry that you all have to face these problems too.

i know its something related to gense…..but just imagine if your children blame you n hate you if they get very hairy or get some other genetic imperfection from you?
it is neither in your hands nor your father’s hands to control it.Even your father should hate/blame someone for it…..but in the end you have to deal with these things which are destined to you.
There are cases when children are short even if parents are tall….children smooth bodied if parents very hairy..or vice-versa.
So what i mean to say please do’nt hate n blame your father for your condition.
omg i thought i was the only one that was hairy im barely 12 and i have hair all over my body my mom doesnt let me shave or wax what can i do someone plz pretty plz help me
i am literally in tears reading this but everything you have said is so true. everytime i go out there is people laughing at me saying i was born a geezer (guy) and thats why i look like this i have also had sucide thoughts it truelly feels like i cannot talk 2 anyone they just say i am being paranoid. i use nair it really burnz my skin but i dont know what else 2 do. thankyou for posting your comment its nice 2 know i am not alone with this problem.
I have suffered with the same thing…black hair that grows back by the time you blink on every inch of my light-skinned body. I wish when I remove my hair it would send signals to my brain not to grow back! I have had to deal with it from 11 to now that I’m 22. Its very frustrating cuz you cannot be spontaneous and just go to the beach or pool. You have to wear long clothes and high tops that don’t show chest hairs or ingrowns.
I’ve watched myself and cried cuz many times I couldn’t find clothes to wear to go out to accommodate it and spend tone of money on hair removal cuz I swear creams and shaving has my hair ten times thicker. Now I’m pretty much over that and my hair growth is the same. I realised that at the end of the day the hair CAN be removed. There are options. There are people that have permanent marks of the skin that can never be removed. Hundreds of growing flesh, virtiligo or warts. I am learning to be content and thank my blessings cuz there are many worse off. I always wonder when I get married what my husband would think but if he truly love me it’ll be unconditional cuz I am beautiful nonetheless. So take it or leave it. I’ve had a friend that says it really doesn’t matter.
You have to be confident in yourself and grateful that you don’t have a cleft lip or one leg….what’d we do then? Let people think what they want…they are not perfect. I have started electrolysis on my chest, part of stomach, nipples, moustache, beard and lower back. I want at least these areas permanently gone so I’m expecting results in a year!
Really? No one notices the hair but me eh?
Not so. I don’t know if you are aware of it or not, but there is a medical condition called Hirsutism, and only about 10% of women have it. It sucks, and anyone that truly has this condition, will agree that it makes you want to kill yourself. Literally, there is not a day that goes by, that I do not think about taking my own life. Why? Because men usually do not want women like us. People stare; I can feel their eyes burning into my face and neck. It’s uncomfortable, and the worst part is knowing that everyone sees it. I got made fun of in high school because of it, I QUIT a job because the people I worked with would literally send me home in tears. They said I was a “womMAN”, and said I was disgusting. I wish I could have fought for myself, but I didn’t want to bring it into the public eye (aka lawyer) because I knew psychologically I could not handle the humiliation. It really stinks, because it’s on your face and neck, a place that isn’t so easy to hide. I go to college, and I am fairly sure that every single person I meet, boy or girl, is judging me, because of the very shitty, very unfair condition I was born with. I did not ask to be like this, it just happened to me. There is not a day that goes by, that I don’t have to put up with it. I can’t wake up and throw my hair up, put on a little bit of makeup and go to class, I have to Nair and bleach my face, and then because my skin gets so irritated, I have to apply a ton of makeup to cover up the redness and irritation. I can’t get ready with the girls, because I refuse to show them what all I have to do to get ready. I get irate of someone in my family such as my mom or siser, mention it even though they are concerned. My mother has told me that I need to “do my neck,” ( our code for Nair) literally, 15 minutes after I did just in fact, Nair my neck, due to the constant stubble. I can’t meet people at parties, I have never had a boyfriend, and I will most likely never be married or have kids and let me say, that I would make a damn good wife and mother. However, I know that it is a slim possibility. Sure, I try to have hope, but it’s the cold hard truth. I try my hardest to be in a relationship, but men never see me as good material. Even if I were in a relatinship, I literally cringe when a man touches me. I have accidentally gone apeshit on a man before when he put his hands too close to my neck; hyperventiliating, and freaking out. People say to keep your head up, but when NO ONE wants to touch you because of something you CANNOT help, it’s just a tad bit upsetting. There have been days that I don’t go out of my room, and days that I don’t even wake up. I have a wonderful personality and would one day like to be an art and music professor, but I know that I will most likely never get taken seriously, because my co-workers and students will always look at me as a freak. I permanently hear the snickers and whispers of those around me, and see people staring at me, even though I try my best to hide my hair.
So, while you sit there and worry about your “thickened waistline and belly flab”, keep in mind that this can actually be taken care of by excercise and proper diet. However, there is NO cure for people such as myself that have been diagnosed with Hirsutism. Don’t you ever fucking say that we are the only ones that notice; the whole world puts us in exile and continues to laugh as we sit aimlessly without a damn cure.
Im seventeen years old & i have too much hair on my body im latin & i have dark black hair, it sucks. I have hair on my face back,lower back,stomach, breast, nipples, bottom,knuckles, & toes. I shave my mustache, arms, legs, lower back & stomach daily its horrible because my hair grows back fast. I’ve had this problem since i was little nobody but my twin sister knows about it. I’ve never told my mom about it, she doesnt have this problem but my twin sister has it too. It has affected my self esteem so much im discusted by my own body i have acne on my face too but its not that bad guys think im cute but compliments dont matter to me because i know if they knew my problem they would be discusted as well. I’ve had a boyfriend but it was difficult i shaved often & when we had sex i would shave my entire body & it would take me about an hour in the shower wich i competly hated doing. Sometimes i cant wear what i like because of my hairy situation i love going swimming but shaving & looking nice in my swim suit takes a lot of my time. I wish i didnt have this problem it bothers me so much because it makes me believe im the only one with it. I see other girls with low cut shirts & they show skin and they have no hair or very thin hair that looks perfectly normal. I want to get rid of my hair forever but i know that is impossible, guess ill have to suffer with this curse until i die.
ever since i was born i had hair.
i hated myself so much for my hair. and as time went by hair started growing everywher! im 15 now and i still shave…. everywhere. It just became a habit now,,, its a rotuine in my shower. i spend like a hour in there just taking my time shaving. I really hate it. but i got used to shaving so now i look like im hair less.. and people always tell me how lucky i am… i want to tell people that im really not hairless.. but im super scared. people made fun of me when i was young for it. im sure no guy would like me if they know im hairy. i have a boyfriend now and he has seen me completely naked… he has told me i have nice skin and im soft… but yeahh im pretty sure im good at hiding it. I just wish i was hairless. its a big pain in the ass. i have cried before so much and when i told my mom that i hated myself for it. she laughed which made me even more sad. i hate my dad for being so hairy 
but i do wat i do to be pretty 
i know if i never had all this hair.. i would b more confidened and i wouldnt have to worry about wat people see when i wear certain types of clothes.. i wont have to hide my self anymore… i would be more happier. but im stuck with this dummm curse.. i hope it removes… 
my hair is really thik and dark so i hate it. i started shaving when i graduated from elementary. i wanted to look pretty in my dress.. and the hair would ruin it
I’ve had that very same problem for years!!I thought it was just because I shave(everywhere!!)That it grows back extremely quick.I shave my face every 4 hours!!I think it’s because of a metabolic disorder/insulin resistance.If you Haven’t already looked into that,i suggest you do!!It’ll give you some much needed answers!I have very fair skin and I’m natually blonde so it’s really embarassing to have course/dark hair in places I shouldn’t.I started using the perscription Vaniqa.It can take 8 weeks to see results on my face,so far it’s been almost 5 weeks and I think it’s working.It burns when you 1st put it on but only for a few seconds.Also eating right and excersising helps get control over the whacked out hormones.Try womentowomen.com.They have a variety of programs that can help this too.Different vitamens and supplements.I hope I helped!Thank you for sharing your story!Take care!

wow – i stumbled on this COMPLETELY by accident – but i think i may just try this!! i have hair on my throat, a few stragglers on my jawline and chin, but mostly my throat (and now starting to get a faint mustache). the really odd thing is, i really have almost NO hair on my legs and very little under my arms (if i don’t shave for a few days). i didn’t always have this problem – when i was getting married at age 26 (i’m now 42), i had gone to the hairdresser to get my hair colored, and asked him about these few teeny tiny hairs – he said “um, i hate to break it to you, but those are pubic hairs – you have too much testosterone in your system”. from that point on, i started plucking them to get rid of them, which made me red, sore, irritated and annoyed. waxing resulted in the same problems. i stopped doing these things, and it became SO bad, that members of my own family started calling me “goat girl”. i finally got so fed up that i started shaving it, much like a man would – now i have to deal with stubble/5 o’clock shadow!! it really sucks – i can’t afford electrolysis, which i’m not sure even works, and i’m tired of being furry….i’ll give this a try, it certainly couldn’t hurt….
Wow i thought there was only a few ladies like me who were hairy
i have hair on my face, my neck, my chest, my nipples, my arms, my back, my belly, my knuckles, my legs, my bottom, my toes and i also have like a treasure trail starting from my belly button.
im 14 from pakistan born in london so i have black hair and my skin in brown but you can still see the hair and i do not have any one piece of skin which is larger then my fingers that doesn’t have hair on it. And i know everyone has hair everywhere but theirs is really fine and light even people who aren’t that light skinned. i used to really cry about this and get nearly suicidal i’ve had this problem for as long as i can remember. it doesn’t help i’m fat. im a nice smart funny girl but no one cares about that! it all about what they see, and i know i shouldn’t care about what other people say but like i was sitting next to the hottest guy ever and we both reached for something and our hands was against each others and i just saw all the hair on my knuckles and creeping out from under my sleeve, and i know he saw it too. i get my face waxed in the middle of the year but it hurts so bad i’d rather just stay hairy, and i get pimples because of it too, i remember last year actually crying because i thought if i get rid of one problem i’ll just get another one. i want to do laser soooo badly but i don’t think it will work for me because im not white and also its very expensive. this really annoys me and i know other people are worse off then me like without food or water but like i still cant forget it sometimes i wish i was just a homeless starving person cos atleast i’ll be skinny and not enough food to power the hair growth. i have never had i boyfriend and im sure i never will. i’ll probably just end up marrying some old fat guy. i sometimes look at myself in the mirror and think i look nice today, but then i get closer and just see hair, i might wear something like a low cut top and look hideous in it but then some other non-hairy girl wears it and looks like a supermodel. aaahhhhhh i wish there was some magic cure i have so much hair on my body but not enough on my head. i would rather just have no hair at all like no eyebrow, eyelashes etc rather than having this much body hair.
I’m a sophomore and I’ve always had just… FUZZ. EVERYWHERE. And I’ve HATED it! Especially cause I never saw anyone who had the same problem as me, everyones always perfectly smooth! All the girls would be like oh my legs feel so good, and they can wear these short little shorts, and wear bikinis but oh… I shave, but I’m never totally smooth! Especially my upper thighs, I shave it cause it gets really really thick, but then it grows back like right away! Also, when I do shave it it’s still not smooth, and there are little black dots wherever I shave I have hair on my tummy, in between my breasts, on my nipples, on my lower back, my fingers, my toes, my butt, and my arms. I also have trouble around the bathing suit area, and I don’t know what to do because it looks bad when I shave and it always seems like my bathing suit sticks out! I hate it!! My boyfriend always tries to put his hands up the back of my shirt and the front, but I shy away because I don’t want him to feel the fuzz on my back and tummy.
:[ I want to tell him, but I don’t know how! Any help??
i don’t have that ovary thing or hirsutism but i am really, really, hairy. i was tested, had an ultrasound, blood tests etc. i have abnormal testosterone. in one my classes in schools, we were walking about how female body builders have extra testosterone and have facial hair and body hair, and then the whole class, guys and girls, were like “ewwwww gross”. i didn’t say anything cause that descibes me and it’s not funny and they don’t understand what its like to be so hairy. i’m a furball. i’m seventeen, and whenever i hear that so and so had sex in school and read articles about how people my age are sexually active, it’s sad. i’m hairy, and that’s a powerful form of birth control, cause no one would have to have sex with me. i’ll never have a boyfriend. when i get my facial hair taken off, i take pictures of myself because my attractivness gets multiplied by like 100 and i know it won’t last forever. then when i get ugly again i can look at the pics and know that under the hair i can be like any other teenage girl. pathetic, i know. i hate myself. i hate having dark hair and light skin. i wish i was blonde.
okay i’m indian so i think genetics plays into this, but i have hair on my arms, legs, chest, face, sideburns, back and butt. my dad is a gorilla so thats probably where i get it from. i hate myself. sometimes i wonder if i will ever have a boyfriend or get married becasue i’m so hairy. i remember this one time during practice with my swim team(this was before i got hair on my chin and chest)and i must not have shaved the inside of my legs properly. i was doing breastroke and this guy who was behind me, he wasnt swimming just standing, he kept ducking his head under water when i brought my legs apart under water. i realized later that i hadn’t shaved properly.it was so embarrassing. the guy was cute too, but i wanted to smack him for staring.also i was very embarrassed of my stache becasue it gets darker when its wet. so iused to cover my mouth when i got out of the water. i didn’t realize that my arms were extremely hairy too, so they would have been really obvious. i almost want to laugh when i think about it. its was years ago and i can’t swim anymore because my apeness has increased since then. i had hair wehne i was in elementary school but i didn’t care that time. now i’m mortified. i’ll probably end up being an old hairy spinster with lots of cats 50 years from now. to add to it i’m not that attractive otherwise. i see cute guys and know they won’t look twice at me, or won’t look at all.
I’m only a teen too. I’ve had hair like you describe for years, except my eyebrows are okay. I was always and am still so embarrased about it. When people look at me they look at my chin, or the hair on my upper lip. I wear long sleeves at the end of the school year when it’s hot because it’s too embarrasing to expose my arms. Last year I got a lot of hair under my jaws and around my chin, so my mom took me to several doctors to see if I have hirsutism. I don’t but I have too much testosterone. I pluck the hairs on my face, I don’t shave them. Shaving is bad, it will make the hair grow in darker and faster. Plucking is painful and I involuntarily get tears in my eyes, but its worth it.When I pluck hair on my face, though, I get acne/pimples. I use this thing on my arms, I don’t know what is is called, but it’s a cream, after you apply it, the hairs fall off. Of course they grow in later and it does look like i shaved it, which is really obvious because my skin is light and my hair is black. So I just avoid t-shirts. I don’t do anything about the hair on the other parts of my body right now, I just avoid wearing shirts that go even a mm below the bottom of my neck and I shave my legs.I’m thinkingabout plucking the hair on my chest, though. It’s annoying and even my mom can’t sympathize, becuse she isn’t hairy, but my dad is. My brother told me once to shave after seeing me up close, and I cried. It’s a touchy subject with me. Not only that but I have these horrible big sideburns. This means I can’t even wear my hair up in public. Don’t shave any hair except on your legs. It grows in fast, and darker. As far I can tell, laser hair removal is the only option that’s permanent and painless. I completely sympathize with you. And I thought I was probably the only teenage girl cursed with too much body hair, can’t wear clothes other girls do with lower necks and exposed arms. I think the only easy and cheap way is shaving and plucking/waxing. I don’t know if tea works.
the best hair removal you can do is to look up in your area for electrolysis treatment in the yellow pages phone book. The treatments will take time but it is worth every penny you spend on the treatment. Good luck because I was very hairy and now I am a women with no hair at all.
i never though this was common
just as some of you had said
that you thought you were alone.
i thought the same i hate living hairy
aswell i have to shave every 2-3 days
its upsetting sometimes i stop shaving
because its too much work and at the end
they always come back right away ugh i get
soo frustrated honestly. my facial area
has hair aswell i have to constantly remove
it. and sometimes i cry about it
alone… i also suffer from severe acne, hair and oily skin
soo its a load sometimes for me and i have to wear
a sweeter at all times or long sleeves… but i try
to suck it up and just not let it dragg me down
its relly hard. im going to try spirolactone
hope it works and the spearmint tea what else is out there and has anyone had any good results from these 2′s?
I’m so glad I’m not the only one with this problem. I have hair everywhere, but I’ve come to deal with it. I thread my face and wax my lower back and stomach. I also use a epilator on my arms and I shave my legs. It’s just a pain to keep up with the waxing, but then again, beauty can be painful.
omg i thought i was the only unusually very hairy person and am kinda glad that other girls are like that but im really not happy about my hair. i have think dark hair on my arms, legs, stomach chest and my face and even on my back and butt. i shaved my legs first when i was 9 or 10 which is stupid but even then i was really embarressed about it and now my hairs on my leg are really think and when i do shave it doesnt work and theres dark spots underneath which is really annoying and gets me self concious so i have to always cover my legs up. they are really fat too which sucks
i didnt want to shave my arms but my hair is very dark but i didnt i used veet hair removal cream. ive been using it for a long time now but it looks like ive shaved coz it grows back really spikey and its really annoying as i normally roll my sleeves up but then realise my arms are disgusting and like before it would be a week before the hair started showing but no it comes back the next day. i want to wax but i dont really want it to grow to a certain length for it to work coz i hate seeing the hair. im always tempted to shave my stomach as it has some pretty long hair on it which is gross but my mum did and her stomach looks disgusting so im kinda put off but i want to get rid of it. how? which is the easiest and cheapest way? i have a proper man face as i have many upper lip hair which i do get professionally done once in a while but my hair always grow back really quickly so i have to pluck it. i eyebrows are really thick and it annoys me as they grow weird and thick and fast everytime i get them done so i have to pluck them too but sometimes it just gets tiring doing it and sometimes i really cant be bothered but i want some way that the hair will grow or at least become littler and finer. i hope this tea thing works coz i dont normally drink tea but ill give it a go. is there any other really good way? other than laser coz im only a teen :L xx
i know it sucks.. i’m 17 and have had dark hair since i was about 12 or 13 i’d say… this one boy used to make fun of my arms so i started shaving them, i don’t worry to much about my back/butt because most of the time i have a shirt and pants on anyway.. but i haven’t really dove into the sexual part of my life, and i’m hoping to have laser or SOMETHING done before i do. I have a stach, that’s not all that bad.. you can’t really notice it unless i let it get to bad. i do however have hair under my chin and all on that.. whatever it’s called lol. it used to just be a little bit, my sister called it out and made fun of me (so loving, i know) so i shaved it and have for about 2-3 years now and now it’s just a hassle. I still shave, but regret doing so in the first place, i would much rather have plucked the few hairs i started out with and live with those rather than what i have to deal with now. but, it’s all a part of life, i’m sure that with new technology and natural things such as the tea, i should be able to find a cure for it… i however don’t know if i’ll ever be able to fix the hair under my chin since i already started shaving it unless i do begin laster hair removal treatments, because no matter what i think it would grow back.
(spoiler)
if you do shave, you can’t really go back on it unless you want to start waxing (which i’m to embarrassed to ask my mom for) don’t shave for a few days.. generally the weekends or a break from which you don’t absolutely have to go outside if you don’t want to… let it grow out, then use a razor (i use 5 blade just because it makes me feel way smooth and better about myself)
i used to hate myself, now i’ve learnt to live with it, as long as i can cover it up i should be fine… i just don’t like that there’s still a stubble some times if the razor has gotten old and over-used. i still do have insecurities, but i try to overlook them.

I can understand how you’d feel as I personally have fairly hairy body myself. When I was a teen, I used to be very conscious and upset about it. I was so embarrassed that I was nearly depressed and had absolute social life. One time I have even burnt myself with a hair remover trying to get rid of excess hair. As I’m brown skinned, bleach didn’t really help. It made hair shinier and golden. also I came out with lotsof spots after that. Then later in my teen I started to wax my upper lips and eye brows. Believe it or not that actually helps a lot. I’d suggest you to wax rather than shave as shaving or using depilatory, they often results in stubles and coarse hairs. And over the time, with waxing, hair do become finer and lesser. Also, when you have shower don’t pat dry, rub the towel roughly all over your body like you’re trying to get rid of something that’s has stuck. Also, make sure that you moisturise your skin well as if it’s dry it looks awful. Palmers cocoa butter is very good and it costs less. Over the time hair on body do disappear or atleast get fine. Also don’t forget that as you’re in puberty, weird things happen with your body. I’ve also read somewhere that 2 cups of spearmint tea a day helps. I may not have been much of help but you really have to be patient with yourself. In the mean time, when in he beach, try wearing one piece rather than bikini and wear quarter sleeved or full sleeved tops or like mentioned before just wax, it lasts longer too. Hope that helps.
Hey im 14 and im from California, and here the weather is pretty hot most of the time and well as the people from the other comments, i have hairy arms, legs, face, back and butt which i really hate and specially cuz i usually wear short-sleeves shirts, shorts or clothes like that but since my body is really hairy i get really self-conscious and people is usually teasing me about it, I wanna bleach my upper lip and arms but I dont know if it’ll work since im tanned so what can i do about it???

i feel so much better knowing im not the only one with this! i think i got it around 14-15 but it has gotten a little worse over time and some hair has increased while other parts have stayed the same.
i have hair on my face, tummy, nipples, and chest. i usually pluck the hairs around my nipples and i used to shave my chest but then i stopped and the hair was not light but not black and i just kept it like that for a while but it got really long and i couldnt take it anymore so i shaved it again but i am scared that it will grow back darker black? i didnt even really notice the hair on my chest until i started shaving it for some reason and now its different. i also have a few hairs around my belly button and a little happy trail. my face isnt that bad and its not that hairy but i bleach the hairs anyways! i think we all just need to remember that WE ARE BEAUTIFUL and we ARENT THE ONLY ONES. i have been with my boyfriend for a year and i havent told him but i think if it gets to the point that i cant hide it anymore i will! i know what is genetic because my mom has facial hair and i can tell she shaves because i can see the darkness from shaving and i think i caught her shaving! my mother and i are beautiful and just because us girls have more hair than others doesnt make us bad people or ugly!

Well im 18 and i have hairy arms and legs aswell and u could see them because im white skinned and the hairs are black. I always wear sweaters or long sleeve shirts and jeans. i sumtimes see pretty open close tht i like and i would want to wear but i cant.
i have a bf. And im embarassed and scared to tell him about my hairy arms and legs. I dnt know how he would react. He always tells me to take off my sweater but i tell him no. And he tells me “dnt u trust me” and i tell him i do bcuz i do but im scared tht when i will tell him if i do or show him he’ll reject me and leave me for how i look like 
i really hate my body. Fml. I sumtimes wish i could die. Wat should i do?
It’s hard for everybody to find something about themselves while looking in the mirror that they like. You may not be hidious in the eyes of another.
If your overweight fix it by simply eating a healthy low fat diet. Maybe try a macrobiotic diet. Loosing weight will help control your hirsutism and acne.
For your hair just wax I garuntee you’ll feel so much better about your self after.
And your acne try clean and clear advantage or clearisil ultra. They are amazing and cheap.
We only live once so you should try to make yourself happy with the way you look.
You can email me if you’d like at ellefranco3@gmail.com
So many with the same problem, suport eachother and live through this curse.
Some good advice, have a 10 minute warm shower then just shave your area after you dry up with no shaving cream.
You might have to do this everyday but at least its presentable.
I go through this pain as well and i hate the fact i have to accept im the hairier type.
Im slowly beginning to acept it and just go out with those black ingrowns on me, people look but dont comment.
If you do get a comment try your best to over look such a shallow person and just accept your not perfect.
But theirs a guy/girl for everyone on this forum, hairy or not they will accept you. But their rare and only come once maybe, so marry them! lol.
My heart goes out to all of you
hun i can never ever find anything about myselef thats i can say wow about it!everything about me is well..hidious!
i’m overweight-hairy tush,abdomen,lips!bad teeth and lots of pimples!!so all i have to live with that people are prettier than me!!:’(
u know im beginning to think that every women/girl has hair in these unusual places.The next girl is just as hairy as you,but u dont think it nor c it because well shes probably shaving or something lol.But ugh I have hair alot of places but i hateeeee the fact that i have hair on my chest and back.Especially the back! I refuse to wear anything with my back out.I’ve had it pointed out to me a few times about the hair on my back..talk about embarrasing.I’ve thought about shaving it but no,no Im good lol.
Wow, reading this makes me feel better. I’m middle eastern and very hairy!! It’s so unfair though because some middle eastern women have no hair at all, naturally.. It’s just very frustrating because I literally have hair everywhere. On my face, upper lip, arms, legs, stomach, back, butt. You name it, I’ve got it. The only positive thing to being hairy is that my eyebrows are full and my eyelashes are nice and dark, so I never need to wear mascara unless I’m attending a party and want them to look extra nice. Anyway, I know a lot of people are going through it too but it still bothers me because I see women on tv who have NO HAIR anywhere. I try to convince myself that they don’t have it because they’ve waxed it, or since they’re rich they went for laser hair removal, but it still bothers me bc I’m afraid that in the future my husband will expect me to be gorgeously hair free like the women on tv, and it’ll only disappoint him. I know if he loves me he won’t care but still, it might bother him deep down. Idk. If anyone wants to vent out or share a story, email me at knowledgeseeker22@yahoo.com
Actually , not everyone who is unusually hairy has pcos or even abnormal hormonal test results, I do recommend if you are very hairy to be tested though to rule it out.in me and my sisters case we are within normal range, so just bad luck I suppose
Well thought I’d give my 2 cents as it may help someone
what a relief to read others experience the same as me.My dads a sasquatch-furr everywhere, and so I have a less coarse version since I was 8 or so.I always felt isolated having hairy arms and legs and moustache.At 14 it was out of control,and grew on my chest and sideburns and all my back and bottom.I finally discovered bleach for my sideburns and stache,but kept my body hidden.My heart goes out to the gal who’s fella said he felt carpetburn when he kissed her,as I started having to shave at 25 in order to get lazer hair removal and continued after along with plucking-which takes almost an hour a day to do,and stubble is a constant fear!Lazer was so costly and I needed more sessions so only had a few without the results I wanted All my life I’ve been humiliated by this,dressing for gym in jr high and hs was a daily fear and once when I was 20 I wore a dress and shaved my chest and we were in a group outdoors and my friends little brother said “do u shave your chest?!?” In front of everyone and I was humiliated and covered up for a years after that,I can so vividly recall public humiliations of my hairiness,I guess many of you can relate .So now I’m in my early thirties, I have tried the no!no! And it worked very well on back and chest and butt hair (not face) but its a temporary thing like waxing but worked for me for 2-3 weeks at a time and worked well.Also a good tip is that I’m pale as heck with black hair so I would tan after using no!no! (Self tanner works too) and doing both I could actually wear minimal clothes confidentally! But still I’m afraid to have my face looked at in daylight.and to be graphic if it helps anyone (I know several expressed fear to be intimate with this issue), because I was so ashamed of my bodyhair I waited till my twenties to be intimate, and I would shave my chest,tum,butt and of course legs and arms.I would not allow my back to be touched as well as turn out the light-it was stressful believe me. The no!no! really helped make me relax in this aspect as its almost impossible to enjoy yourself when your obsessed that you will be touched and feel stubbly! So the no!no! Was $ 250 and I won’t recommend it now because I bought it 2 years ago at sephora and now they don’t carry it or the blades and it is an ongoing cost (it did though permanently reduce the amount slightly but def made all hair finer). So my status now is I was given the Tria from nordstroms recently as a gift which I have been dying for since I first saw it in a magazine as it has the same lazer diode as the ones in the office.You can look it up online as well as reviews and judge for yourself.Yes its expensive (595?)( As well as you must be light skinned as to not burn your skin) but you can save if you’d like besides at nordstroms I believe qvc carries it and offers a payment plan.My experience is the hair is diminishing,yes I use it on my face(wasn’t not gonna try when that such a problem area!) And hair grows in phases so I use it 2 a month.I’ve used it on chin (my biggest problem facial area-i always was picking hair out w tweezers and scarring),jaw and cheek and moustache and I can see some hair has not come back.I’ve used it on neck and belly and sides of belly and back with similar results and the hair that has come back is finer.I guess the hair on my neck and chest is more resistant so far,but you’re supposed to use this for 8 months so I’m not there yet so I’m optimistic.Also I’ve used it on bikini line,toes,feet,hands,arms and legs, will work on butt soon.Its so relieving to be able to do this at home in privacy whenever you like,and keep your dignity-ive actually apologized to drs before they. See me undressed I’m so embarassed of body hair and felt inferior and unfemenine -so very sad 
I completely understand if this is out of price range for most people but boy do I wish I found this as a teen and bypass so much pain! The Tria is not approved for facial use in the US so its a personal decision but in my experience a great one.Also nordstroms has a great return policy so that gave me confidence.Let me tell you I am so positive and hopeful and trying not to hide anymore, and hopefully by summer I can wear tanks and tops I have always been petrified to wear! I wish you all good luck and positivity as this is such a burden to so many and I think this kind of site is such a blessing, it would have saved me tears and anguish when I was younger to know I’m not alone.god bless!
Seriously you can’t be complaining about this, when you have the power to get rid of it!! its called wax, sugaring, tweezing, and laser. shaving is a major no no!!!!!
Wax your face trust me Ive done it makes skin look and feel amazing!!!!!!!!
I’m Japanese as well as Okinawan and I too have a problem with being hairy. I could be hair from my father as well as my Okinawan side but it’s frustrating. It’s almost like every inch of my body is covered in hair. My breasts. My stomach. My butt. My back. My shoulders. My face. My legs. My hands.. I’m sure that if I let my hair grow out instead of waxing or shaving it that I would be damn more hairier than my own brother and that takes a whack to my self-esteem. I’ve also had it pointed out to me, with my long sideburns(Which is why I rarely to none have my hair up unless I’m at home) I hardly go to the beach and it depresses me because where I live, it’s warm and I want to wear tank tops but with all the peer pressure, I’d probably be made fun of. I also forgot to mention when a friend was teasing me about my facial hair.. it’s really a blow to my self-esteem. To make it worse, I have trich, which means I pull at my eyebrows and make that look all funky.
The good thing about me, I’m social and can get along with a lot of people.
It’s kind of funny, looking back, how I knew it was the end of the world because of my facial hair. Now, I don’t care one bit about the facial hair, it is the thickened waistline and belly flab that occupy my worry time. You are all beautiful and no one else notices the hair except you.
I’m 17 and I’m going to a college on the beach soon, so like my main goal is to get rid of the hair because it has stressed me out for to long, lowered my self cofidence and made me never flirt back with any boys. So I’m pretty sure I don’t have hirsutism, I’m middle eastern so I’ve always been hairy but the older I get the more I notice it, also I probably don’t eat enough which makes it darker. I have leg, arm, under arm, back (got much worse after shaving it back in middle school same with my tummy) also face
and a little bit of chest hair but not bad just enough to annoy the hell out of me. I recently started to use this stuff by GiGi called keep it bare, you apply it twice a day after waxing and depending on where it’s is you are applying you can see results in as little time as a 1-2weeks. You just keep applying it twice a day til you noticed hair has stopped growing back ( you may have to do another wax in between, I think I did). Now you only have to apply it a couple times per week, but once you stop using it for a period of time hair will start to grow back. It’s only $7 (face kind, but also available in a bigger bottle for body) I got it from Sally beauty, it doesn’t dry you face out, and it makes it smooth. Also another product that works though nasty is TALA ( ant egg oil) women in the middle east have been using this for a very long time and unlike keep it bare it perminately stops hair growth. Use it every night after waxing for 6-8months. I bought it to try but couldn’t wait 6 months. But it’s work a try. If you are afraid to wax because of the pain get NO SCREAM it’s numbing gel and it worked wonders for me I can pretty much wax anywhere now thanks to it. Razor burn, ingrown hair, and bumps is also a problem caused by waxing and shaving but if you use Tend skin it cures you of that. I really wouldn’t shave either, the hairy you are the more you should wax instead of shaving. I shaved my arms cause I was in a rush and didn’t have time to wax HUGE mistake!!!! My mom has been waxing for like 15-20 years and her hair is like gone. If any body ever wants to talk about this over hairy thing we have my email is ellefranco3@gmail.com I know how hard it is to talk to people about this and how hard it is to cover up. I spend so much money on make up trying to cover it up with foundation cause I have made sone parts on my face my face bad with digging while plucking. Stay strong and be happy with your body and it is your choice to live with the hair or with out the hair.

Gigi keep it bare, apply it twice a day after waxing for a couple weeks ( depending on the area you can get results in as little as 1-2 weeks) if hair is starting to grow back (thinner & slower you should notice) just wax it off once you notice it’s not growing back you only have to use the product a couple times per week. But once you stop using it for a while hair starts to grow back. It’s pretty cheap $7 (for the face one) at Sally beauty, it’s not drying and it makes skin really smooth but it kinda stinks when your putting it on. Also there is this stuff called Tala (ant egg oil, not as gross as it sounds) it’s from the Midfle East and I guess it’s been around forever, and after using it 5 nights in a row after waxing for 6-7 months it perminately stops hair from growing back. If you are worried about the pain of waxing use NO SCREAM it worked wonders for me I was never able to wax my legs bikini or underarms because of pain but now I can!! And let me tell you it’s sooooooooo nice not to have to worry about hair for a while. And for razorburn, ingrown hairs or bumps caused by waxing or shaving try Tend Skin it’s great!!!!! My only problem now is my side burns, it’s like the one part of my face I just can not for the life of me get under control, and I just keep plucking praying it will just go away but then I accidently dig into my skin leaving red marks, that rake alot of foundation to cover up. But all I can recomend is trying those product and waxing not shaving (hair grows back faster and is prickly) being overly hairy is stressful enough but having to worry about shaving almost everyday (if your like me) is a pain in the tushy, and the longer you wax the less hair grows back, slower and thinner. My mom has been waxing for like 12-20 years and she bairly has any hair. Also are any of you middle eastern???? I am and I do feel like we tend to be hairier. I’m so glad I’ve found other people like me though I don’t think I have hirsu something hormonal imbalance, I do know I am extremely hairy, and do self consious because of it. Email me to talk about this please I don’t know about you guys but I can’t really talk to my friends about this. Ellefranco3@gmail.com
Hi, I have hair on my breasts, back, stomach, legs , arms , face.. lol
I am a very attractive woman but I feel insecure all the time. I have had many boyfriends and thankfully none have complained(none broke up with me; I did). I am dating one right now as well and he is very happy being with me. I guess a good heart is all that matters
I use bleach for my face and shave the rest of my body. It sucks cause the hair that grows back is so thick. I am planning to wax my body because it slows the hair growth.
It sounds like you have a hormone imbalance more than anything, have you tried talking to your doctor? A really simple solution is to go on the pill long term. It takes a few months but the hair does reduce is some cases with this course of action.
i’ve also been suffering from the same hairy problem, and it was only when someone at college pointed it out that i thought i was different. I was happy in my own skin, but now i think something is a bit unatural about all this excess hair on a 17 yr old girl….
sooo, i told my Mum, because i thought if i cant tell her, than who can i tell. Ok, i was embarrassed, but it’s a problem that needs sorting. We did some research and found out that itz probly a hormonal imbalance or hirsutism.
I went to the doctors and had some blood tests done that will determine if ive gt extra andogens or summat. The hair is a symptom of an internal problem (which probley isn’t severe). Thre doc sed that we can discuss treatment after weve pin pointed the exact problem.
So, i just wanted to say that the hair may be a symptom of a medical problem, and if u get it looked at there is treatment, and u dont have 2 just live with it, unless you feel comfortable with it. Personally, the hair isn’t detrimental, and i am happy, as i put things into perspective, but i would prefer it if it wasgone, so fingers crossed with the treatment.
it’s comforting to know that i’m not some sort of mutant creature! lol! tc
wow i finally found another asian who is going through the same problem!
I hate it so much cuz i look around and see that i am more hairier than asian boys! how embarassing but its reassuring that i am not alone. Hopefully i can fight through this insecurity and accept myself for who i am.
Omg! I’m a sophomore in highschool and I have the same problem as all of you guys..I knew I wasn’t the only one buut i didn’t think that there was this many girls going through this problem, I’m sooooo self conscience about it. I still wear bikinis buut i cover my stomach and try not to let people see me too much. I have hair on my arms stomach and back and it’s so embarrassing. I hate it..cause I’m always soo paranoid about it. And it sucks
I am 16 years old and i started noticing hair on my breasts when i was only 14. i had electrolosis done and it was very painful!! and it never stopped growing. i then went to laser for it and that was very expensive! and i am now at a new laser place for my breasts and stomach. I just want this to stop!! My leg hair grows very fast and i have hairy arms. but a cheap way to bleach your arm hair it to put hydrogen peroxide 3% on it. i have hair on my butt, and back as well. it is embarrissing but i hope i can find some man to love me even though i am hairy. i think it is a hormonal inbalance. does anyone know if there are medications to reduce testosterone in women? thanks
you said everything i feel. i am sorry for us, but at least we have out health, and we can try these things like spearmint tea, exercise more, etc. and i heard birth control might also help regulate the hormones. we might not be silky smooth, but we are beautiful and good people. i just wanted to tell you i feel exactly as you do everytime i touch my face i want to cry. sometimes i do.
If you want, contact me ASAP.
Ever since i was little i had so much hair and i would always cry about it and i thought i was the only one..i have hair on my back but arms and stomach and i hate it! i wanna find a way to get rid of it!
hi I’m 16 years old and have this exact issue. I have hair absolutely everywhere and I’ve tried all the creams, shaving, epilator (hate!) etc. What makes it worse is that I’m asian! Yes, that’s right! a hairy asian! I read somewhere that asians are not necessarily hairy. But not me! My entire family going back to my ancestors only have the every now and then stray hairs.
I believe i have hormonal imbalance. I’m sooooo insecure. I feel so abnormal. It’s getting better though. I know one person who has it and now i know many.
Thank you.

My legs I shave everyday. My arms I used to shave but stoped because I don’t want the hair gettin thicker so now I jus trim them wit sicsors(I forget how to speel I swearlol) and my back too. I trim it. It’s hard tho!! And my stomach I shave it but I’m still freacked out bout the hairs gettin thicker! But I figured it was kinda normal! I’ve been wit my boy friend for 9 months now and I bearly told him bout my problem and i had a big problem wit tellin him because unlike most guys he’s not hairy!! He don’t grow hair on his chest stomach ass nothing!! So I don’t wanna be harier than my bf! But I told him and the first thing he said to me playin around was aww my cute hairy monkey!! Lol like tellin me don’t worry! Because after he did! He said I live u no matter wat mamas!:)) yea so like the other day he was lookin at my back n he was like u do go hair everywhere! But then he was like want me to help u trim it?? And yea he did! It may sound a lil wierd but that’s how comfortable I am wit him u kno? I mean cuz we tell eachother alot of shit cuz sooner or later he’s gonna find out rite? So now when ever we get “intimate” I don’t care no more about having the lights off! Lol trust me girls THE GUY WILL NOT CARE IF UR HAIRY! I promise. I mean unless .. Yea I don’t know. But if he rele loves u he will love u and ur hairyness and every flaw u think u have!
Hi I’m 17 a junior and have the same problem, I’m an attractive young girl but one problem I’m a bit furry! I’ve had hair all my life back, stomach, and butt. I’m light skinned but my hair is not dark or thick , I’m sorry for those that have alot. All I can tell you if people laugh at you it’s because that have it to. Girls are naturally hairy!! Some mor than others but trust me we all have hair!! Who cares be happy with what you have all that matters is that you have your health!! Hair is just a little detour we all have. If your waiting to be intimate with someone don’t open freely and tell them and if they love you they’ll accept you and your furiness! So quit messing with your hair! Head up, confidence high and go get that cute bikini, dress, skirt, etc and go!! Have fun!! Because at the end of the day you have high esteem and whoever laughs probably has a bigger flaw!!
Don’t damage your skin with all the treatments it will only burn you skin and turn dark(friend did laser baaad idea)
reading all of these, i feel a whole lot better becasue there are people how know what it feels like to be in my position. I have hairy arms but not crazy hairy, i still wax them though lol. and i have light hair under my chin, not long but it still bothers me. i have all these things you ppl are talking about and its like ok wow im not alone! xD
i have it like on my tummy and backside too and i just thoguth it was gross and wrong of me. but yeah im going to try this too and well i dont feel like a freak no more. haha hopefully that lazer stuff goes down its rediculous lol
heey, im 13 and i have this same problem. i have fine/thick black on my back hair, butt, chest, breasts, arms, hands, feet, stomach, [some on my] face and the usual on the armpits and legs. i also have a monobrow and exremely thick eyebrows (which really doesnt help, but i tweeze this). i recently asked mum if this was normal, and she said yes, but when we get changed for PE at scool, i notice that i am the only one with this problem. i stopped wearing revealing clothes and panic everytime we have to go in the pool. ive never worn a bikini, and mum is the only person that know about my ‘werewolfness’ as i call it.
i regurally find more hairs, and i always feel self conscience. when i have a shower, i sometimes try to shave them off, but it never works. something that im worried about is that when i ever get a boyfriend, no one will want me once they find out about my hairiness. my friends would tease me and it would spread over the whole of the town.
when im washing myself, the hair is very soft and fawny, and it would help if it was blonde. but its black.
at first i though i was the only one in the world with this, and i havent ever met anyone with this. then i thought that something was wrong with me, and i would always feel depressed when i looked at my friends when they wore bikinis, or other randoms.
im just really worried that ill be rejected when im older.
and im so happy that im not the only one with this (:
Thank God it’s not just me. I’ve always been discouraged about my hair. When I was little I always shaved it but as I got older I always worried about it getting worse with shaving (though I read a few posts saying that that’s not true). I have it on my lower back, butt, stomach, arms, under my chin,upper lip and sideburns (and of course the usual arms and legs). Unfortunately it’s all very dark so it stands out. I hate it when my mom and other family members tease me about it but there’s really nothing I can do. When my mom drags me to the salon to get my face waxed the ladies always comment about how hairy I am which makes me feel even worse.
Your hairyness is a gift, you should exhibit proudly!
I love you hairy and lots of men too if only they are brave enough to admitt it, the problem is that most men will not confess so as not to be judged as freaks, or gay or something worse.
Believe me, learn to love your hairiness and shre it with all of us.
I would love to get to know you. fcs42@yahoo.com
And i enjoyed from your writing and also i’m happy that you feel good about yourself
After reading a LOT of these comments, I felt I had to post one myself.
I am sixteen years old and I have the same problem and I’ve had it for as long as I can remember. I’m Mexican and I have this idea in my head that it kind of has something to do with it. Most of my family knows that I’m hairier then average but they don’t know to what extent just because I’m always aware of it and hide it as much as I can. I have hair EVERYWHERE that, yeah, sometimes I get a little upset. I have it on my cheeks, upper lip, a little on my forehead, back, chest, breasts, stomach, and the typical leg and armpit hair. I also have a lot of arm hair but it’s not that hairy that I freak out about it, though. What I do to hide it is I bleach my facial hair when I need to and it works the best. For my back and chest and all that, I shave when I wear clothes that might reveal my hairiness. Lol. And that whole “shaving makes it longer and thicker” is crap. It’s exactly the same. Sometimes we get so self conscience (sp?) that we might THINK it’s worse then before but that’s probably because you’re stressing that it will happen and stress makes it worse. But in order not to look stubbley, it’s best if you shave the morning of when you’re gonna wear anything that might show that you’re hairy in the shower. And once you hop out, put on some lotion. And there you go.
Bust because you have mega hairy legs does not mean you can’t wear skirts and all that good stuff. Shave/wax your legs. It’s what everyone in the human world does. Even those so called perfect people in the magazines. And if you wanna get close to a guy (or girl) but scared that they’ll reject you because of this, just shave/wax everything you’re uncomfortable with whenever you think something might go down between you guys. Hirsutism does suck really hard, but it’s not something to be depressed about. We all know it’s a hassle. We have this cruddy condition that none of us asked for but we shouldn’t let it rule our lives because believe it or not, we have control over it someway. It’s not that hard to hide. Most of my friends have seen my back or stomach (My biggest problem areas) one way or another and they don’t know I’m a hairy beast. Except for the ones who have seen me on an off day but they still think I’m hot. Lololol. It’s more of a matter of will you take the time to just look in the mirror, and decide what you’re gonna do about it. Because sitting here posting comments won’t make it go away. Though I will say this!!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO POSTED A COMMENT SHARING YOUR PERSONAL STORIES AND ALL OF THAT GOOD STUFF. IT MADE ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER ABOUT MYSELF. BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW HIGH OF A SELF ESTEEM YOU HAVE, SOMETIMES YOU FORGET HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU REALLY ARE. I REALLY ENJOYED READING THROUGH THEM AND I CAN HONESTLY RELATE. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW I’M NOT ALONE. HAIRY WOMEN UNITED!!!! LOLOLOL!!
But now I’m just rambling so yeah. Thanks for reading.
IF YOU SKIPPED THIS…. READ IT!!! I SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON IT LOL AND IT’S MY FIRST TIME POSTING A COMMENT ON ANYTHING I’VE EVER FOUND ON THE INTERNET. THIS ARTICLE AND COMMENTS WERE JUST THAT GOOD. LOL.
Hey everyone, I’m 26 years old, and I’ve been hairy ever since I was going through puberty. I have hair on my Face (near my ears), on my stomach, lower back, butt, arms and legs, it’s not super thick, it’s more bothersome because its dark. I’m of Indian heritage…not sure if that is a factor, I’ve never been to the Dr. to have the problem diagnosed, but I do remember lying on the Dr’s table at the Gynocologysts and the Dr. said “ooo, you’re hairy!”…needless to say, I was rather hurt by the comment.
It’s strange because when I was younger, I’d wear bathing suits and any other type of clothing (no-one ever noticed, and if they did, they never said anything about it) and at that time, I was never even phased by my “hairiness”, and then all of a sudden, it really started to bother me.
I’ve been shaving my arms since I was 17 (amost 10 years now), I bleach my upper lip and stomach, pluck the nipple hairs, and shave my lower back as well as legs….it’s SO time consuming…
A few years ago, I did try Laser hair removal, to have the treatment done on my stomach, back of my neck all the way to my butt was going to cost $5600!! and I was prepared to pay that…well, I only went through one of the treatments and decided not to continue because of the cost… AND it was rather painful (I’m hoping that the cost of Laser Hair removal will decrease soon, it’s rediculously expensive).
I am extremely self consious about this problem, but ya know, it’s about accepting yourself…
Not to sound conceited, but I am an attractive young woman, I don’t have a problem meeting guys, I’m currently in a relationship, and when he and I first met, and it got to the point that we would become intimate, I told him about my “problem”, and he wasn’t bothered by it at all…it made him sad that my hairiness made me so upset. It’s never bothered any of the men I’ve been with…it bothers ME more than anyone else really…
I think I may try this Spearmint tea…and excercising more, and hey, if they don’t really work, they are both still healthy habits:)
Just wanted to share my situation, and say that it’s comforting to know that I’m not alone.

I’M A SOPHOMORE TOO GOING THROUGH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE! HAIR ON MY ASS (NOT ALOT EITHER) IM HELLA FINE BECAUSE RANDOM GUYS EVERYWHERE KEEPS “HOLLARING” AT ME, ASKING ME OUT AND STUFF, BUT THE HAIR IS MAKING ME FEEL LESS ATTRACTIVE. LIKE SAY A GUY FINDS ME ATTRACTIVE AND ONE DAY HE SEES MY ASS AND IS LIKE “I’M OUT!”, THAT MAKES ME HELLA NERVOUS! I DONT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. AND I DON’T HAVE ALOT OF HAIR THERE, IT’S JUST ENOUGH TO SEE BECAUSE I HAVE A LIGHT SKIN COMPLEXION TOO AND MY HAIR IS BLACK! OMG, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME! BUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL IS EXPENSIVE AND I DON’T KNOW, I JUST WISH I WASN’T BORN WITH IT! WHY THE CUTE ONES GOTTA SUFFER, LOL! WHY IS THERE ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG WITH SOMETHING RIGHT?! THIS SUCKS!
unfortunately, i have the same problem! surprise surprise! i joke about my excess hair ALL the time with friends and family, but it really does drive me crazy! I think what drives me the most crazy is that I shouldn’t really care, and now that i’m older, i regret all the plucking, shaving, and waxing i’ve done to myself! whether it be my caterpillar eyebrows, mustache, stomach, bikini , and legs. i have honestly grown to like my eyebrows and the hair on my head, and although i have to shave my legs ALL the time, it’s not that bad anymore. but what still stresses me out to know end is my bikini area and my stomach. it’s embarrassing to wear bathing suits! i wax sometimes, but it’s too expensive to do all the time, as is laser and electrolysis. if you can afford it, i’d do that, even though i have no personal experience. sooo the other day (even though it’s not summer) i was getting extremely upset about my “happy trail” so i waxed it! and it worked really well…but i have hair all over my stomach, that now i have a waxed happy trail, and still hair everywhere else. it’s not thick, but i’m really pale and my hair is very dark so it’s ….noticeable, to say the least. AH. what to do what to do, any ideas?
for now, all we can do is laugh! in this particular situation we are all having to endure (unfortunately) less is more!! so don’t go crazy because stubble is more unattractive. smile and laugh and let’s keep our fingers crossed that the price of laser treatment goes down soon… ha ha.
Hi i don’t have PCOS but i have low levels of a hormone called SHBG which is in the liver and basically it absorbs excess testosterone in the blood but because I have less SHBG excess testosterone is not being absorbed. I have excess hair and I made a choice of not to take medication such as the pill, this is what the doc gave me. I feel its better to exercise and have a healthy diet and I will also include spearmint in my diet. I know its hard im 20 and iv had it for 6 years but please do not shave the hair will look like a stubble rather u should wax, pluck or thread eyebrows or upper lip. I use an epilator for my neck which is fine because it pulls hair out the roots and skin is soft. But always remember you can get electrolysis which is a permanent hair removal method when you can afford it. And love yourself because then everyone around you will love you!!! Be happy and live life to the fullest, I mean why should us beautiful girls let hair get in the way of having fun and living good lives? tc.
I am amazed at how many people have this problem, I mean I never thought I was the ‘only one’ but certainly one in about a thousand or something. I’m currently a sophomore in high school I have the same problem, hair on my abdomen, butt, thighs, but there not so thick but thick enough as to where you can feel them and see them. Mostly, because, my complexion is whiter than a piece of notebook paper and my hair is dark it unfortunately shows up more than the average female. It causes me great distress because I’m attractive it’s just the hair that seems to get in the way & I believe I have a fairly nice personality as well but the amount of hair I was unfortunately given by birth usually holds me back from being intimate with any boys. I plan to get laser hair removal/electrolysis when I get a job and save my money, but for now I bleach all the hair & wax my arms/ shave my legs. But, I’ve noticed, if you don’t let people see that it bothers you then it usually won’t bother them. So continue to love yourself for who you are, & don’t let some hair hold you back too much because we all have hair!.
it makes me feel better knowing that more people have this problem than me…im 13 and ive noticed this starting when i was 9 or 10… i feel so young since most of you guys are 19 and 15
, but ive noticed hair on my back,butt,stomach,arms and breast, its not all that dark, but you can still notice it very much. i dont have any on my neck or face so i have no clue what i have really. if anyone has a clue, please email me at murrykun@yahoo.com . im waaay to embarrased to tell my mom or any family member, i just need advice and help please…

I understand your pain but there are some boys that like hairy woman like me

Hi
You shouldn’t feel embarrsed.
I believe there are some boys that will like you hairy as you are
arielove@bezeqint.net
shaving does not make more hair grow. waxing and improper laser treatments do. also if you plan on getting laser, waxing makes the hair more resistant. most people think shaving makes the hair grow more because it makes the tips of the hair blunt – when they come back in they look and feel more coarse, which gives the appearance of more hair.
I don’t think any of us knows what’s it like to feel normal. Regretfully we have no other choice than to deal with it one way or another. My #1 tip is if you decide to get laser hair removal, please remember to avoid the sun as much as possible and wear sunblock religiously. It’s depressing to get rid of hair and then suffer from bad hyperpigmentation. In regards to this tea; ladies the ONLY sure thing to CONTROL (not get rid off) PCOS, hirsutisim and hyperteichosis is better eating habits, exercise and less stress. The true solution lies within you; NOT in a tea. God Bless and Happy Holidays.
i feel sooo embarresed; i shaved my upper lip because i thought i had really dark upper lip hair, and they were easy to notice. i snogged this boy a few months back and he told his friends that it was like getting off with ‘sandpaper’ and that he got ‘carpet burn’ and he’s been telling all of his friends! this is the most embaressing thing ever! he doesn’t talk to me anymore : also i shaved my eyebrows because i thought they were very bushy. and people have noticed. it’s just sooo embaressing! and i cut my hair at the top of my forehead to stubbles o: but i am letting them grow back, i also shave alot of my facial hair, what can i do?
This may seem stupid but thank you for inspiring me to get the bleach from walmart I always thought about it but tried everything else,electrolysis,wax(ouch)especially on the spot were your legs and butt touch. I have always felt very insecure about my butt hair mostly, maybe by lightning it up a little it will help, hopefully it also weakens the hair and makes it a little thinner because not only can you see it but you can feel it as well. I was diagnosed with high testosterone and pcos. thanks again!
the product, you can find in walgreens, cvs, and walmart. hvnt seen it anywhere else..
It’s kinda sad to read all your testimonies. You guys are so young..14 and 15.. I can’t even imagine how you guys must feel. Im 19, and my problem started about a year ago.. I also started seeing abnormal hair growth in my body. It was weird, because from one moment to the next, it just appeared. It’s funny because I thought I was the only one and I thought “I” had it bad. Luckily, I know that mines is a hormone abnormality and i can easily reverse the effects with eating and dieting, like eating foods with less testosterone levels and exercising. Its a proven fact that exercising helps reduce growth of extra hair..
Besides the spearmint tea, there are other things you should try. I would only suggest wax for the upper lip and eye brows. everyone does that. But lets say, for your face, like sideburns, cheecks, chin, neck and in between, there is this product that I’ve been using since I first noticed. Its a facial creme bleach. It lightens your hairs to almost inivisibility. The first time, it literally makes ur hairs dissapear, and after the third usage, it just looks blonde. Im telling you IT WORKS!! and I have really thick and dark hair! and the best thing, is its just about 6 dollars only.. Totally worth it!!
There’s a cure definately for your pimples. I had severe acne on my back (no joke it looked like I had some disease) So my mum took me to the dermatologist and they prescribed roaccutane. It works and you don’t ever get pimples after you take your course. Generally, your on it for about 6-12 months. I took it for ages cuz I’m really skinny and the dosage was too strong for me. But it worked I haven’t had pimples on my back for 2 years it literally the best drug out there. The only problem is that you can’t wax while on it. I’m really hairy and I died without waxing, I shaved and the hair came back in like five hours (literally) but apart from that it fine. I’m so happy cuz I had to wait 6 months after stopping taking them to get waxed and today I finally got waxed after 2 years
Also, girls/guy(s) should NEVER shave!!! It’s the worst thing, the hair just comes back thicker and hairier than before. It you want to remove hair waxing or lasers is the way to go. Waxing makes the hair really fine. Before I went on roaccutane I always waxed I didn’t even know how to shave… And by waxing from the start some parts of my legs don’t even have any hair cuz the wax like removed it for some reason and my armpit hairs are a lot finer than when you shave. When your as hairy as me (I just tell myself it’s because I’m Greek
) you have to wax or else it’s just gonna get worse
ok I’ll tell yous my life story of bring hairy… Btw I’m 15… So I have always been hairy… I have hair everywhere… Legs, armpits, bikini, stomatch, boobs (and it’s not fine hairs) and then the other day I totally freaked when I saw some on my chest, I also have hair on my upper lip but it’s not that bad and I’m too scared to check my back/butt and I don’t want to stress myself I don’t think I have hair there :S lol but my mum said that I would get laser hair removal done and it would be ok
Also I was reading someones story and they were saying that they were hairy and had scoliosis well! Your not alone!! I have really bad back problems too, I’m the biggest spaz… So I have kyphoscoliosis which is apparently rare in females (85% male 15% female),just great more evidence to point to that I’m a man lol I’m getting a back brace cuz my posture is so bad I slouch 24/7 and because I’m skinny my bones stick out so I look like a dinosaur lol also I have to do back excercises for the rest of my life lol but kyphoscoliosis is like the same as scoliosis but it has something to do with the spine also having like a curve (having like a hunch) as well as it not being straight. I don’t really mind I like joking and laughing about it 
and that’s what we should do about excess hair just joke about it because there are so many people suffering from this issue (going into debater mode atm lol soz)
Just putting this out there but we all are all pretty vain to be stressing about hair, I mean there are people out there with diseases and we are worrying about hair on our bodies. Girls (and the minority of guys) the hair can be removed so let’s not worry and live our lives
well that’s my life story (no one will probs even read it lol). Good luck to eveyone on their quest to rid themselves of hair
xoxo

ok im 18 and have always been a little bit hairier than most of my friends but i never let it bother me. but in the last 2 years the hair on my face, breasts, arms, hands, chest, stomach and back has gotten quite bad. its weird because it just suddenly came on. and i can see day by day the hair on my breasts getting worse…so as you can probably imagine im just over the moon about it..naat!! so ill tell you how ive been getting rid of or hiding my hair. so my hair on my face i sometimes pluck but i mostly dye it and i reeeally recommend dying it it just bleaches it! works wonders for me its like you can hardly see it at all! you can buy special dye for excess dark hair at your local pharmacy its not that expensive and works wonders! for hair on your arms you can bleach it too with the dye. for hair on my stomach i shave or wax it but i only shave or wax it when i have to like wear a bikini or show my stomach because the more you shave or wax it the worse it gets!..so try do it as little as possible! i havent found a way to get rid of the hair on my breasts maybe pluck or bleaching. and every girl on the planet has hairy legs just shave it its no big deal! and girls there could be worse things that could happen you so dont be so depressed about it! i mean im hairy and i can sometimes see people looking at my moustache but do you know what..i doont care!! me and my friends joke about how im hairy all the time no one really cares! iv never been bullied about it or anything so that probably helps! just be honest about it with yourself and other people. the more you hide it the more youll be ashamed. we’ll be hairy and happy
Well, girl, you can’t put yourself down so much! I’m speaking from experience, I used to do that also and it was no good. You must have something that you like, whether is some physical or moral quality which I’m sure you have! Try to look at these and it will give you strength and self confidence
You sound young (not that I’m 100 years old lolz), you’ll see that with time you will be more confident, but it’s important to work on it!
If there’s no one around and you want to talk to someone, you can always message me at: the_unmanifested@hotmail.com , I will be happy to reply!

You might think more in terms of a happy medium and sometimes being outside of that as being OK. In some instances, it’s being outside the norm, that interests people. Hairy arms are really not a big deal. For instance, I once dated a girl because I liked how she looked. She thought her eye brows were too thick, so she shaved them off. After that, I didn’t like how she looked any more and stopped dating her. Be yourself and let others enjoy being around you for you, not what you are told to be by one person. Teasing sometimes happens when someone is interested, so it’s best to just be yourself and let others figure out how to improve themselves, rather than you. IMO.

belive t or not , there are plenty of men who find hairy woman very sexy
I have all the same problems as u and i never had these problems as bad until recently. i get embarrased when people touch my face or anything because i am self concious that they can feel all the hair. i wish there was a easy way to get rid of it all!!
I have more peach fuzz on my body than normal. I also suffer from TTM. People just think I have a bad habit of playing with my hair. They dont understand what TTM really is and how hard it is to deal with. I could not stop. Its embarrassing. Then I started having some hormonal complications and my hair is coming out bad. It did help me stop alot know it was coming out all by itself. I have less than half of the hair I used to. And yes it does grow back weird and fine.
Great to know I’m not alone reading your comments.
I’m extreamly hairy, the only benifit being I have thick hair on my head.
But to make things worse i suffer from mild Trichotillomania on all my body causeing hair to grow back messy and causing scars. It just don’t find it fair that we were born into this!

My name is Amanda and I’d love to speak with you. Is there an email or phone number that I could reach you on? Talk Soon…..
Hi,
i am a hairy girl…initially when i saw hair sprouting i was a bit upset, i wen to doctor and all and i was fine just a lil more male hormone which caused body hair.
To tell you i have dark , long body hair on my lower legs some on my thighs also, a visible dark hair in middle of abdomen “happy trail” but luckily fine hair on my arms and no hair on face/chest.
my hair is all natural and soft..i never let them get into my mind , i always have fun in my group which includes good looking boys!
i have a caring boyfriend and to tell you i have more hair on my legs than him and our happy tril is similar……and he actually loves my hair.!!
so does being hairy make any difference to life??
you just need to change the way you look at it and life.
I thought I had male hormones lol, cause of how hairy I was, Ive never let a guy get to close in my life cause I’m so hairy to. My legs are hairy like thick man hair, an little hairs on the side of my face, an light color hair on my chin. I have unwanted hair on my butt an back. It’s do disgusting to me. I hate myself sometimes. Cause I have to shave everyday just to maintain my looks, cause I’m very pretty but I hate all this hair
.. My toes even need to be shaved it sucks so bad. No one knows how bad I want laser hair removal. Maybe I’ll get really rich one day.
I am a very hairy boy….and my obsession landed me on this blog.Although its fo females and hirsutism , but i want to know can I try it out?will it be safe for a male and would have the same effect on a male?Actually having excess body hair sucks both for men and women, it actually looks like a curse and makes jealous of all those ‘normal’ hairy people out there leading a normal life.
Body hair in today’s society sucks both for men and women when you see other people having minimum body hair and leading a happy life.
Today girls hate little chest/abdomen hair ….but when you have excess hair you are not worth anybody….and it adds more to depression.
can the spearmint tea work for a male safely??
feel free to mail me:hirman267@yahoo.in
Yes I agree with you, about that you said regarding to boys. But when there are in a room boys and girls and I see that girls don’t have so many hairs, my shelf confidence turn down and I look a little bit not so friendly and no one talk to me some times
Most of all I hate honestly the hairs in my face and on the back of my neck….I can’t stand it!
But thanks for suporting me…:)
Hey..I am half cypriot and also have too much body hair. I think it depends on the genes, it’s not just pure hormonal imbalance. I have a cousin who also is sort of hairy, as well as I have another cousin and my sister too who aren’t really hairy. It’s not fair! Today I was looking at myself in the mirror in the morning light and I could see every single face hair
(, then I noticed I have hair on my back also, it spoiled my whole day. So this is how I came across this blog searching for help in some way.
And I am really obsessed with the thickness of my hair (on the head ofcorse). Ehh..
But, see the comments here of some males who say it isn’t that bad, some seem to be attracted by “hairy” women! And anyway, a boy who would reject a girl just because she’s more hairy would be a complete idiot in my eyes and I would be glad not to hang around with this sort of judgmental people.
I knew from before spearmint has these properties, but never tried, I will give it a shot. What sucks more (as far as I know) is that too much of “male” hormones makes more existing body hair and thins out the hair on the head
Anyway, just wanted to tell that I totally understand you and I’m sorry to hear about your mom
There’s always a good part in everything I believe, even if it seems the most horrible thing on planet..
Ladies if you had any idea how many straight men (all kinds) love female body hair. It makes me sad to read that a natural thing like hair makes you’ll so miserable.
I’m a bit older but considered muscular and attractive by females from 20’s to 60’s.
Almost all of my girlfriends have been hairy. Over half have been models. I’m not bragging but I’ve never had any trouble finding an attractive girlfriend. The reason that they were all hairy is because that’s what I was looking for.
Now that I’ve been single for about a year, I have a hard time finding a girlfriend that isn’t a shaved, plucked “Barbie.” Almost all of my hairy girlfriends have been shocked to find that at least half of straight guys get turned on by hairy women. There is no such thing as too hairy.
Wow, if any of you are over 18 and want a very attractive guy that would go nuts over your hair e –mail thinnice@yahoo.com
I turned 15 back in June and that’s when I noticed a few (less than 3) black hair under my bellybutton. I was able to wear bikinis throughout summer but when school started in Septemeber, more and more hair started to grow on my chest, abdomen, face, and neck! And there’s so much hair around my nipples it’s not even funny! It looks as if there’s a 1.5cm thick black ring around my nipple! There’s like random strands of hair on my boobs too, it’s so disgusting and annoying.
I can’t even wear speghetti straps/v-neck shirts/tank tops, because the hair on my chest is extremely noticable! I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wear bikinis/swim again.
I’m not superficial, and I do understand that alot of people are suffering from diceases that are far more serious or might actually affect their physical health but I’m really worried about my excessive hair-growth and I actually have to say, I kinda hate myself for having so much hair on me.
And i met this guy at a party recently and we kinda hooked up, he asked me out on a date last saturday and it was a lot of fun and I really like him, but I’m not sure if I should go out with him, cause I’m a horny drunk and I like almost had sex with this guy at a party a year ago. I’m pretty sure he’d freak if he saw my hairy torso and he would probably never talk to me again. It’s really embarrasing in a way too. So I’m really worried and i’m guessing it’s not the right time for a relationship cause of the friggin hair…I know this sounds really superficial, but I noticed that most guys (especially the ones in their teens) go for the looks, and I actually talked to some of my guy friends and they told me that they really care about the girl’s appearance so I’m just really worried and I’m kinda depressed in a way too…
so did anyone actually try this tea? i mean its nice to hear all of your stories but someone needs to actually tell if it works
heyy i dident no that there were other people with the same problem. I have hair practically everywhere and i get really depressed about it. none of my friends know and i try to keep it that was because i would just hate it if people made fun of me because of it. i get some of the hair on my body waxed but it just come back within 3 or something days. i dont go swimming or anything with my friends because i just get really depressed and worried what other people think of me. I was going to get laser treatment but its to expensive. hopefully the tea works fingers crossed. Im 13 by the way x.
This has been such a relief to read all you guy’s comments. I have always felt like the odd one out. Asides from my palms and feet every single part of my body is covered in hair. My sister looks so American and she is naturally hairless. I have hair all over my forehead and sides of my face, neck, chest, stomach, back, butt… you name it.
The sad thing is, I’m fourteen years old, and even when I was 5 I had really hairy legs. My mom knows how to do threading, which I highly suggest on your face. I get my forehead and cheeks and upper lip and chin threaded. I wax my arms (trust me ladies, it doesn’t hurt that much, you get used to it). I shave my legs and genitals, but the hair comes back after 24 hours (but I’m okay with it). Now my big issue is the back of my neck and back (which has a LOT of hair, people have commented on it NUMEROUS times in the past). Also, my butt and stomach. I have a great body and once I get rid of my facial hair I get really pretty. My only issue is HAIR! So when bikini season rolls around instead of shaving it I’m going to bleach the hairs and make them blonde.
I’m going to try the tea thing soon, though. I wonder if it works.
Good luck my fellow girlies. Don’t be jealous of hairless girls — there’s always a way around these things.
Best of luck,
Tee J. <3
Have the same problem,
i have hair in my face (at my upper lip) and in my legs.
i always wished i wasn’t like this so that i can fit in with the other people..
BTW,where can u buy spearmin tea ?
hi friend pls advice how much spearmint to be taken and how long should it be taken
Girls,
I don’t know why god wanted to give us so many hair in our bodies than the other girls. It’s not fair! We can’t wear skirts, bikinis, have a ponytail because of the hair in our face etc. and I really get angry when I see boys having less hair in their body than I have.
I can understand all of you because I have the same problem! HAIR in every part of my body, everywhere! I never could be happy on my summer vacations in the sea because of my hair!
A year now I am doing a therapy something like a laser and the cost was really hight, but again some of my hairs gone away but not all of them and I am really angry with them. That is not what they promised to me!! I don’t know what to do anymore I am so sad, really sad….
The part that hurts me more is that my mum passed away 2 years ago and I can’t share my pain with her, to give me an advice. You can image how I feel when I have to talk my hair problem with my dad. But I think I am getting used of it now. He is a good Dad.
Please tell me something to make me feel better…..:(
A girl from Cyprus
I Have the same problem, i have hair on my face my body MY BUTT! i hate it.. and to make it worst my mother when she see’s my neck she tells me i look horrible. and says that its gross… and im the hairiest outta my family! all my cousins are not as hairy as me but apparently god hated me soo much that he had to put me thru this. i wanna know if theres a pill… a shot or anything else to get ridd of it…
Dear friend,
Being a women i can understand what u r going through.Infact my periods are also off coz i have pcos. But now i am using spearmint tea and i am feeling a great change and my developing hairs are also reduced.So u can also try this.infact its worth coz its a herbal tea.
If it works then good.. u can try this tea 2 reduce ur hair and to regularise ur cycles.
Infact my periods was off for 2 months i drank spearmint tea and i got my cycle on exactly 5th day of drinking this tea and i am using it regularly as my routine now..
Hope it works for you also..
byeee tk care.
omg girls!! I never knew that there were people that actually understood my problems (i’m hairy– on my legs, knuckles, mustache, unibrow, forhead, cheecks, sideburns, chest, stomach, back, butt… EVERYWHERE!!!!!) some areas have more hair than others of course– i’m not a wolf!!! hahaha…. but i do have REALLY thick eyebrows!!! and ever since 1st grade, i’ve been made fun of . lately, not really but i get EXTREMELY cautious… and i cry a LOT because of it… it has ruined my life — i see all these pretty girls in the magazines and at school and think “why can’t i be just like them??” or “why am i cursed with this humility”
but, my mom said that pretty soon… she’ll let me get laser hair removal !!!! but i’ve even had crushes tell me that they don’t like me because i’m hairy (and a lot of boys would always call me hairy) .. i felt really depressed and humiliated!!! i just want to be pretty and happy…. oh- by the way.. i’m 14 — 15 in 1 WEEK!!!! 
I guess I’m not the only one ;__; I have hair on my arms, hands, thighs, legs, and a bit on my back and tummy! >:( I hate it! And just few weeks ago I overheard my crush saying he doesn’t like hair anywhere below the head! ;___; It’s not fair! Why do I have to be so hairy?!? ;___; And to make it worse I’m supposed to be an ASIAN, yet I’m hairier than some of my boys on my CLASS! ;___; Super UNFAIR! I wish that it was okay to be hairy in this society, I wish I could just be accepted… And I want to wear skirts, and all does nice clothes, but I can’t! I will just die of embarrassment! Ughhh, unfair world ;___;
Im 14 and i find it hard to carry on everyday i feel so ugly my arms are hairy but worst of all is my face every morning when i look in the mirror i cry i just can’t help it. I have never had a serious boyfriend and i can’t talk to my mum about it ! Everytime someone looks at me i feel that they are looking at my MOUSTACHE :’(. Sometimes my dad looks at me it makes me feel like the ugly one. i have 2 other sisters both of which are beautiful they arent hairy and they are really skinny it makes me feel so depressed. Me on the other hand i am FAT, UGLY the 2 perfect words to describe me. When ever someone is talking to me i try to cover it up with my hands its sooo embarasing :’(. I was expected to leave school with straight A’s but THIS and life at home has made that goal impossible. I feel now that my life is rewind sometimes i just sit there and cry : ‘ (. I felt like i was the only one………
However after reading all of your blogs its made me realise that im not the only one and has given me a slight glimmer of hope and for all of you who have the same problems i feel for you i really do. I just wish there was some way to get rid of it :’(
Hi there,
Don’t let them get to you. There are a lot of decent guys out there who actually think hairy women are especially attractive. (And I mean US men, not just those in Euopre, where body hair on women is accepted.) Your boyfriend might be such a guy. If you don’t wind up sticking together, there are plenty of others who will not just appreciate you in spite of your hair but will really enjoy it. I’ve been happily married for a while now to a woman who has a good deal of body hair, and I can’t imagine female beauty without it.

I am 18 and I never realized I had this problem until middle school. I have hair everywhere. It is not bad on my face just my upper lip along with a few random dark hairs that I pluck out with twezers. I’ve only told two people in my entire life and that was a few months ago. I shaved about every 3 or 4 days in fear that when I bent over someone might catch a glimpse of my back or behind at school. I have been made fun of in middle school for having a moustache in my AP science class. I let it get to me and failed out just so I wouldn’t have to put up with the one kid who encouraged others to make fun of me. My boyfriend knows about it and doesn’t care. He tells me I’m beautiful and that he can’t see it although I know he can. If there is one guy out there who doesn’t mind it, then I know there could be more. Don’t give up on love. If he truly loves you, he won’t care.
Just today though in one of my classes I’m pretty sure when I bent over that 2 people saw and were making fun of me, but they were speaking Spanish and I could barely hear what they were saying. I cried 3 different times today. I need more than support from my boyfriend, so if any one wants to give me some tips or just wants someone to talk to about this then email me please. I want to know I’m not alone in this.

Thanks so much for posting this I’m 14 and I’m so hairy! I’m crying right after reading what you posted.I don’t shave only my under arms I don’t go swimming and my mom wonders why I tell her and she doesn’t seem to understand.I don’t wear shorts,skirts or capris I feel very very petrified thinking about wearing revealing clothing.When I wear shorts around the house I feel my family looks at my hairy legs I have dark hair so it shows.I have hair everywhere! I have browsed the internet reading and reading about this problem and when I read this I was like wow and hopefully I’ll take this has inspiration and not worry so much.I can’t remember the last time I wore a bathing suit and I just sit out by the pool or on the porch while everyone else is in.I hate myself I hate my body.Thanks for writing this.
i was just redaing all these comments but i can absolutely relate to urs. When u mentioned that u convince yourself its all in ur head but when u look in the mirror its still there- i do that all the time, i often break down when i see myself in the mirror. I also hav lots of stretch marks too, and on top of that my severe facial and body hair. I have hair covering every square inch of my body, i cant wear skirts becus even if i wax my legs it looks like a 5 o’clock shadow – thats how thick my hair is, even if i remove it! i cant wear low necks beucs i hav hair on my breast, chest and very thick hair on my abdomen.
I understand its upsetting, but i hav been really thinking about this spearmint tea, i truly believe that i hav a horomonal imbalance, and that hopefully this tea may resolve some problems. By the ways ive tried laser hair removal on my face, but sadly it made my face even more worse-its really hairy. Ive literally scarred my face by trying to remove every hair on my face. I now hate going outside to parties or social gatherings becus every girl i see is hair free. However i really pray that ur situation gets better, and plaease pray for me. By the ways i am a 19 years old female, and have been suffering from this condition since i was 9 years old.
Im 15 and Ive always been pretty hairy. My dad is also really hairy but my mom isnt My brother and I always joke about how i got the bad(hairy) genes. HAHA not really…I got hair on most of my body and ive been teased about it all my life. Im a girl so its pretty embarrasing having hair on my breasts, tummy and face. People dont really understand there always like why dont you shave? But if i shave hair gets thicker and i dont wanna walk around looking even more like a man around my face. It always brings me down because i see all these other beautiul HAIRLESS women walking around and im like why cant i be like them? Its pretty sad when you got more facial hair than your boyriend you know? It gets really hard to love yourself when you cant relax because your always worryin about what people see and soon enough you see yourself through their eyes and isnt self loathing just great? And dont let me get started with the creeps who actually LIKE hairy women LOL Im always getting hit on my those weirdos
Anywo thats my life story. Cross your fingers and pray this works for me.
I’m 18 at the moment. I have been hairy since i was a kid.I remember my boyfriend that i have right now, we use to go to elementary together, I remember he would call me a hairy beast lol it was mean I use to get really sad because i was skinny and pretty and had a nice body but i was fuzzy lol like on my back my tummy my breast and you know. But it didn’t really affect my friendships like i told only my close friends like 1 or 2 bt my family all knew. They use to like show me off and shyt lol && it didn’t mess up my relationship which is fantastic like he didnt even care.So yeah pretty cool right? but i was hella self conscious i was like man i hate this. Now i don’t care cause im pretty lol and i just wax my face it’s easy hella fast and i barely started drinking spearmint tea.Let’s see what happens.
seriously!this shit works!!oh boy!!goodbye ugly!!hello beautiful!!
uhuh!cuz i’m only 13 and i have hair on my ***!!witch sucks!cuz i cant wear a bikini or swimsuit any more i have to wear the one that look like a skirt!!i cry every night about it!!
and no i’m not dating!!i just hate it cuz why is everyone in my class+the whole world doesnt have this problem!!i just have to be the ugly one!!it’s bad enough i’m fat i have bad teeth and my mom wont let me put braces to fix them!!
i totally agree!
its so depressing. i hide my hands all the time. i shave/wax my toes and arms. i dont want to start waxing everything else though. don’t jump out your window you silly goose! i know it sucks. it sucks sososososos bad. it makes me want to cry all the time. but its still not worth killing yourself over. i found out last night that my ex was hooking up with a really hot chick while i was supposed ot be seeing him. pretty sure i can relate. 
(:(:(
my now ex is getting so mad at me for now doing stuff with him but i just can’t
Wow, I’ve been extremely touched by all these comments, because I thought I was going through this alone…
As most of you have mentioned, I too am effected by this “so called” problem. It didn’t really get to me until when it was my first year in high school when one guy said to his mates “ohh, look we’ve got a man in the room!” because of how I’ve got arm hairs. That really sucked… literally sucked. –before that, I was known as “Moustachie Girl”. WTF?–
It feels like I was been skin carved alive. As much as i’m trying to be a better person, the pain is still there, worsening everyday. Sometimes I think why am I even here? I am such a freak! It’s really hard to not let it bring me down or let it go because like I said, it worsens and I get depressed.
People say that I’m a pretty face but I don’t believe them.
I talk about it with my mom and she says that it’s “sexy”? But I don’t believe her {I do try to}.
I always wear clothes to cover up my arms and legs because I can’t bear to think what others would say or see.
I’m 16 and it’s hard for me to get a boyfriend. I feel left out because I’m like the only one {and being the only child} out of the girls in the family that’s hairy. I just want to feel free from all of this.
I hate it. I hate always feeling so low and shitty. I guess all I have to do is go see a doctor or something. And plus, those hair removal products, I’m just sick of it all.
I was once told, if the first product convinces us it works; then why are they making another different one?
idk…
I hope we all find what we are looking for …
God bless us all ;x
xoxo
Well im another Male
I have read most of these comments and i am somewhat relieved im not the only person on earth facing this but i am so upset why we cant fix this damn problem.
I have shaved most of my life, Arms and legs mostly.
Now its gotten to a stage i cant keep up with the hair growth and its becoming so embarassing to even go out.
I tried laser hair removal several times and it made some hair go away but now i got patches of thick hair so now its even worse cause its not all blended.
I honestly do not know how im going to pull through another hot day like today, i want to go out and enjoy my life but i am at home staring at my disgusting arms and asking myself why do i even exist.
Like one commenter said theres so much advanced technology yet science cannot figure how to permanently kill a hair.
Its making me so frustrated why we just have to accept this, i swear you can call me an ape and ill believe you.
I dont believe in evoloution but it looks like i took the ape genetic.
This sucks so bad!!
Reading through many of these comments, makes me feel sorry for you people.
Some people are hairy, some people aren’t – don’t let the media and it’s manipulated imagery, fool you into believing that you should be smooth as a fish – it’s ridiculous.
You’re being conned by a clever marketing gimmick and some wanker is getting rich off you poor souls, because you THINK the opposite sex won’t even look at you, because you have some body hair and are scrambling to be rid of it at whatever cost.
Don’t let gullible brainwashed people who tease you, dictate to you what you should look like either.
We as individuals have the intelligence to overcome this childishness, perpetuated by small minded, unintelligent media sponges, who above everything else, worship youth and the pre-pubescent imagery that is so dominant in our culture today.
Sometimes I try and make myself feel better by acting like my hair is all in my head, but then I look in the mirror and it is still there. It makes me feel like the ugliest person in the world, it makes me feel unworthy of being loved by anyone. I dream of being hairless running freely and confidently in a bikini. Sometimes I think it is only a matter of time. It haunts me all the time. I get my legs waxed and I look down to find there is still hair on my legs. It won’t go away. It has stopped me on numerous occasions from enjoying myself because I thought I was unfit, too ugly, too hairy. My sisters are hairless, but something went wrong with me, I have acne, stretch marks, and hair, I am ugly. No man will ever look at me, find me interesting, or love me. I wish I were not me, I wish I were normal. I often find myself crying about my body hair. In most cases, body weight can be controlled, but in some cases, as with mine, body hair seems almost unmanageable. I wish and pray it will dissapear, but I know it won’t.
Hi everyone, I’m a very attractive 48 year old male in the Washington DC area, and I just want to let you know that there are those of us who actually prefer women with bodyhair! My first wife was quite hairy, and once I’d seen and felt her furry body which she wouldn’t shave at all in the wintertime, and experienced the natural female scents that it trapped, it was quite difficult for me to accept women without a good bit of bodyhair! While I hate the sensation of cold weather, the fact that my wife would grow all of her “fur” out all over her body during this time was something to look froward to.
There are actually erotic adult websites that cater to this preference as well.
I do understand the issues of all who want to try to conform to the “norms’” that modern society has adopted, but keep in mind that corporations are trying to tell you that if you don’t look (or smell) a certain way, you need to be “improved” by buying their product! There are those of us who would pass by the non-hairy women were we to know of the treasures you are hiding!

kso i’m not sure if youll ever read this but its worth a try. i am also a very hairy individual just like yourself, its the worst in summers. girl, you are BEAUTIFUL. i dont need to see you to say that. i just know you are. are you really going to let something like hair stop you from feeling pretty? you know you are pretty, without all the hair right? hair is whatever, i can definitely relate to a lot of your stories and feeling like i dont belong in a society full of hairless ppl but the truth is that hair isnt a big deal. there are plenty of a$sholes who will have a problem with ur hair. but there are also plenty of guys who notice the person behind it. remember this phrase: ppl who mind dont matter and ppl who matter dont mind. you cant expect ppl to love you when you dont love yourself first. let me tell you something… guys dont care much about hair. the last thing they prolly look for in a girl is having little hair on her body. guys care for a girl who is confident with herself. i know it may seem hard to have confidence but look at yourself in the mirror and examine yourself. look at all your good qualities. you are gorgeous and you need to believe that. walk with your head high and dont let anyone bring you down. excessive hair is a very small problem when you think about it. be thankful for not having scars all over your face or being anorexic or obese. there are much bigger problems out there, and trust me when i say that you are beautiful. i am sure of it. keep smiling babygirl cuz you deserve to. plus when you get older and start working, if the hair still really bothers you.. you can always get a bodywax. the salon near my house charges $90 so its not TOO expensive. and once you’re pretty rich you might be able to afford laser
plz dont let hair hold you back from things you want to be doing.
dont worry, you are not alone.
I feel so sorry reading all your stories because people who don’t have this or make fun of it don’t realize how awful it is. It’s the normal things you miss out on. How much I would love to be able to wear my hair in a ponytail on a hot day, never mind wearing a two piece bathing suit! I am 24 and only recently have begun to try to fix it. I saw an endocrinologist who prescribed spironolact. Can’t tell if it’s started working yet but I think it’s helped my acne. I suggest looking at message boards where others tell their experiences about spironolact. It looks like a lot of you are too young to start taking this kind of medicine but you should definitely see a doctor to see what they say. Don’t wait until you are in your twenties or later. You can get tested to see if you have a hormonal imbalance, but you can have a lot of hair and your hormone levels can be normal. Hopefully you will find a doctor that is sympathetic. I was so embarrassed by the thought of telling someone else I thought I was going to throw up the day of my appointment. I was sitting there crying and my doctor didn’t even offer me a kind word or a tissue but I don’t care as long as the medicine works. I know doctors deal with much worse diseases but it doesn’t mean we should just be dismissed. I just wished I had seen my doctor earlier, like when I was 18. I also found a doctor that does laser hair removal and she is so nice that I am comfortable with her. I thought about getting laser hair removal for a while but was too embarrassed (and b/c of the high cost) but now I am spending the money because it’s worth it. Don’t be too embarrassed to see a doctor, for the 10-20 minutes you have to talk about it, it’ll be worth it if they are able to help you. And if the first one you see is an insensitive jerk, go find another one because there are medicines that can help.
i have that same issue and im only 15. ive had a hairy body for as long as i can remember and really frustrating, especially now that i have swimming class at my school and we have to wear like bikinis and 1 pieces.
i just don’t know what to do because i g out w/ guys, and i cant wear a dress because of my back.
im sick and tired of this, and i really need help, but i dont want 2 talk 2 a doctor.
can anyone help?
Hi, I feel for you all. I’m a girl with very light coloured hair so I’m lucky, but I do have a patch of it under my chin on the front of my neck and have had that since a young child. Also my stomach and toes get hairy. I have sensitive skin so I cannot shave or wax, however I find epilating to be the best way of getting rid of it, as long as skin is exfoliated to stop ingrown hairs. Epilating is painful at first but it does get better. Also I’ve done my research on skin care, hair care etc and most of the typical brands people use are full of toxic chemicals, some which can cause hormonal problems from only a drop of it! So I have recently changed to using completely organic products which are excellent as my skin is more healthy and is starting to handle shaving with less irritation. Especially under my arms the ‘Miessence deoderant’ is fantastic and soothing. This could help many people who get irritation from hair removal.
Good luck to you all

I’ve been having the same problem for a couple of years now. Have been so depressed about it and talked about it to my mum and dad. They never really thought it affected me much till I broke down once and they told me they’d do something about it. I have been going for electrolysis and things have been getting better ever since. It takes time to see results but is amazing nonetheless. It is an expensive form of treatment and am so grateful that my parents are willing to spend so much money to look after my needs. I still do have alot of unwanted hair on my torso etc. but am being patient and am trying to stay positive. It brings me down sometimes but I’m trying to accept that this is part of life and other people have different and difficult hurdles to deal with. It is normal to be self-conscious and I am still ultra sensitive to the now and then remarks that people with no pragmatics tend to make. But I’ve realized that it beats moping around and that it helps to think positive. You might start to see your life in a very different light all together. All the best girls.
I was crying after reading all of your replies.
I have the same problem, I know it’s probably not as bad, but still every day when I wake up and get into the bath it’s all I think about.
I wear long sleeved tops, trousers and trainers all the damn time. I usualy wear gloves aswell.
I had a boyfriend a couple of years back, and he told me I was beautiful and I shouldn’t worry about it. And he would do his best to show me he didnt care about it. [I dont like sayingit but im refering to the areas of hair aka EVERYWHERE]
But some guy I had never met said to me in a shop “Wow..Your so hairy”
…
I was like “..Thanks..”
So I thought if a total stranger, can judge me like that..Why the hell should I bother trying to love myself.
I’ve never shaved my arms or face/back etc cause I was told it would make them worse, but when I bleach the hair I feel so relieved..Untill I have to do it again..and again…
What annoys me is that If I didn’t have the hair, I would think I was really nice looking, I just cant grasp the feeling of being pretty. Guess I never will.
But reading that there are others like me, made it easyer, cause I dont think theres anything wrong with it, its just when some ass puts me down I will be down for ages. But I have a boyfriend now and he’s also said he doesnt mind, and that he thinks I am very pretty. So I will just listen to him, and not what anyone else says.
I am so glad I found this site. You all rule. ^_^
When I was 19 I noticed one long strand of hair growing on my jaw line and didn’t think much of it I plucked it out and went about my business.Then all of a sudden a good six months later I noticed my peach fuzz (that never really got my attention because you could hardly see it) began to get a little bit darker.I must admit I was alarmed at this sudden change especially as I quickly took a little flashback to the past in my mind remembering that 1 sudden long strand of hair that appeared out of now where 6 months before.I tried not to worry hoping by some miracle it would all go away and I could feel normal again.However as months went by I noticed the hairs got darker and thicker and then I noticed hair on my chest and lower abdomen;I sat there in shock beyond crying I felt so disgusting and ugly in a matter of seconds. My life changed that day and my self esteem took a downward spiral and has ever since.My life is consumed now with plucking,waxing,hair removal creme and threading. The worst is right now that budgeting is a must I cannot always take care of this problem and I will literally lock myself up at home until I can run to the store or nearest salon to have the hair removed, I’ve missed doctor appointments,dates,social events,weddings,you name it I won’t go anywhere if the hair problem is out of control.And I’m not superficial but when you’re trying your best to hold a regular conversation and all people can see is the hair on your face or even look at you in disgust well it takes a huge toll on how you feel on the inside.I’ve hid in the bathroom and cried just wishing this problem would go away.When I’m “all cleaned up” people talk to me and look at my eyes instead of my chin, guys will notice me and I’m so much more confident but unfortunately I don’t always get to experience this…and it truly does hurt. I know there are people that go through much worse with horrible,painful diseases and disabilities who have overcome much greater obstacles;but I just can’t deny how this situation has effected my life. I would be lying if I said it didn’t.
I am fourteen years old and have a mustache and a monobrow when I don’t take care of it, and noticeable hair on my torso. My arms are also quite hairy and my legs are when not shaved, and I have mild scoliosis and a deeper-than-usual voice. Plus some serious acne.
My mom has high testosterone levels, and my grandmother had to have her hair removed until she started taking thyroid medication. My great-great-grandmother ALSO had these problems.
Since I know this only gets worse with age, I’m considering consulting my parents about such matters and finding some sort of solution.
I’m not ugly, and while I’m not curvy or pretty much bald I’m not exactly masculine in appearance, either. In fact, I do look like a girl, and it’s really just the hair that ruins the image if I don’t take care of it.
So since I have only mild symptoms, this may be a good solution.
But I think I may also want to ask my doctor and my parents about it, because they know more about my specific situation than the internet does.
But I’m just sick of being harrier than all the boys my age! I hope I can take care of my problem!
I was 14 and I my period didn’t come so my mom take me to the doctor and she gave me a medicine (Contraceptives) , and then my period start to become
after eating it in 6 months, I become fatter so in this 6 monthes I gain 15 Kilos and have alittle hair in my chin it was very thin but I was not comfortable so I remove it after that it become worser and worser
and our doctors here are not useful so why bothering my self and go to them
they even give me medicine and I become hairy and gain extra weight because of them
but I was already overweight and then I become suuper fat
sorry for my bad english
I have the SAME exact problem. I am very pretty but I have to wake up an hour early every morning just so I can attempt to tweeze, bleach, and shave every part of my body. I have it EVERYWHERE and since a young age. I’ve been dealing with hair problems for the past 4 or 5 years and I’ve made it much worse for myself. I don’t live with my parents, I don’t have medical, and I don’t want to ask the family that I live with to take me to the doctor for this problem but I have hair everywhere and it really does effect my relationship with people because I don’t spend time with them when I’m having “a bad hair day” haha…. but yeah. It’s becoming more and more noticeable. It’s very noticeable on my stomach, neck, face, and chest. I can’t take this anymore…I’m only 16 and I’m scared of how bad it’ll be when I’m 20, 30 and older.
I know how you feel. It is paralysing. I Have to shave my neck and pretty much my whole body everyday, I used to really worry what others think and then I had to make myself come out and now I am learning to deal. The worst part for me is the self hate. I have to learn to accept myself and get help. I;m currently seeking a dr. that I can trust and talk about my issues. It is very important that you get it out. It will drive you down.
I have a two year old with an X. Now I am inlove with someone who excepts me for who I am. I am me. Good luck to you and know that once you start letting it out it will feel better.
I think I might know the answer to help you deal with your issue.
I have dealt with these problems before.

hi i am 27 female, i have always been hairier than my friends in school, could not have friends for a long time because i was certain they were making fun of me.
a few years ago i met the most amazing guy and fell in love with, we have been together ever since now married but found out the extra hair on my body was the result of hormone imbalance.
we’ve been trying for kids for 2 years but unable to. i wish i went to the doctors earlier with my concerns.
i still try everything from shaving, waxing, plucking with no fix it solution yet.
of course i think that god will answer that prayer, but you have to have a very strong faith. btw, i have prayed for my problem to be cured. I know that it wont be sudden, and he may or may not “cure” me from this, but so far he has cured me, by giving meaning to my life. and yes, YOU and I and all the ohter girls and women with this same problem can live a NORMAL LIFE. Let’s let the comments that people tell us just slide off, thats what i do. I give them a smile, and they usually recognize that what they said was innapropriate. I have learned that forgiving and forgetting is very good for the soul….I try to look at all the blessings that God has given me and i always end up amazed at how blessed i am. I can see, hear, wallk, talk, sense, jump,laugh, think, love, etc. I recommend that you or anyone with any problem to make a list of all the things you are thankful for and that you are able to do and compare it with a list of your setbacks, and i assure you that you will have more positive things than negative ones. We are so lucky to have been born with two legs, arms, eyes, a nose…There are so many people that would love to be in our position. Our setback is hair, and yes it is very tough and we are reminded of this issue everyday, but there has been no real quickfix, so, i try to camouflage what i can and i keep on keeping. Get close to our God that loves us and will not let us fall and your life will have a lot of prosperity.
READ MY STORY!!! IT WILL TOUCH YOUR HEART!!!
ive lived with this constant struggle for almost over 7 years and im tired of it. I am as hairy as hairy gets. its so embarrasing. im very pretty. its just all my hair that makes my self-confidence go down. let me explain to you my problem:
i have hair:
on my cheeks
above my lip (mustache)
around my ears
on my arms
on my hands
on my fingers
on my legs
under my armpits
on my stomach
on my feet
on my toes
on my chest
on my back
all around the privates
and anywhere else that hair can grow out of.
to top the all off, i have random thick black hairs:
on my neck
on my arms
on my stomach
on my cheeks
and on my shoulders.
its soo DISGUSTING!!! i shave, wax and even tweeze all my hairs. but they r too thick for cream hair removers. i can never just wear a tank top because i know that people are looking. my parents want me to wear flip flops but i dnt like to because even if i shave my toes, the hairs are so thick that they leave a shadow that is very noticable. all that i ever wear are sneakers because they hide my toes and it is one less problem that i have to worry about. i can never show my belly button because im so hairy. ive tried shaving, waxing, and even tweezing. but it always comes out red, irritated, and with nicks.
the worst part of all, is that 4 years ago, when my hair problem wasnt as bad, i decided to join the swim team at my school. it was fun and easy at first until i found myself having to shave every other day. its my senior year and even tho my hair is a huge problem, ive stayed on the swim team because i love swimming and competing. but the hair is just too much. i have to shave every single day. i cant shave the night before because it will be grown back by the next morning. so i have to wake up a whole hour earlier than i need to to shave practically my entire body. and even after that, right before practice, i always need to touch up a little bit.
i had a boyfriend but i never did anything because i didnt want him to find out about my problem. we r talking again now. we both like each other alot. and i want to take things to the next level. i want to do things that we have never done before. but my problem is holding me back.
i cant afford laser hair removal. ive entered contests to try to win some free sessions to see if my problem improve at least a tiny bit, but i never end winning anything.
this problem is not just affecting me. its affecting everyone around me. including my family. we took a vacation to the bahamas that my dads company paid for us. the whole time, i was far away from my family at the beach. i didnt want them to see my hairy, irritated skin. it hurt alot. i really wanted to spend time with them but it was just so embarassing. what hurt more was that they were saying thtiidnt want to spend time with them because i was going off by myself.
having this hair problem is driving me away from my family and loved ones. i am constantly thinking about what people are thinking when they look at me. i always wonder if they are looking at my monstrous hair. and if they say a comment regarding it, i get so pissed off. i dont want to. i try not too. but im just so self concious about it that anything at all triggers my anger.
this problem is not something to joke about at all. i respect anyone and everyone who is having to deal with this sort of problem. it is not something that should be taken lightly and it can even cause mental damage from suffering about it so much.
the sad part is, that it is so hard to talk about this problem with anyone else. i havnt even told my mom the full extent of my story and my problem. it hurts to know that i cant tell her because i tell her everything. but this is just a personal problem that is just too embarassing.
i hope that everyone out there with this horrible problem at least tries to live life to the fullest. i try. i try to be happy so that people cant tell that i am actually extremely depressed. i cry myself to sleep at night because i find alot of comfort in that.
please know that you are not alone. you have never been and you never will be.
I am sorry to hear about the distress that excessive hair has caused you, but reading your story made me quite amazed. As far as I am aware women love hairy men!! I in particular find a hairier man extremely attractive and am certainly not alone. There’s somehting about a hairy man which makes them seem powerful, strong; like a man should be!!!
Im a 21 year old male, i thought it was normal to have hair as a child but i was laughed at and ridiculed for my arm and leg hair for a few weeks in highschool and ive been traumitised about it ever since.
I consider myself to be attractive to most women as i dont have a problem getting a girl of any type, but i have locked myself up for the past 3 years with no Girlfriend due to the fact i am ashamed to wear a t-shirt on a hot day.
In winter a lot of girls tend to take interest because my personality comes out and i finally am not ashamed to go out without being stared at for my long sleeves.
Whenever im asked if i want to go out i always make an excuse and i stay home so depressed and hating life.
Summer is coming up and i remeber the agony of last years stress concerning my hair, i have done 10-12 laser treatments and it hasnt worked for me at all!
I will try waxing just so i can get passed this summer with my mind intact.
I feel sorry for you girls, im a guy and i go through this, i cant imagine how hard it is for a girl but i know what your feeling and it hurts me to see that sceience have not found an answer to this problem. Its only my arms that im self conscious about. The rest i dont really have to show.
Though ive realised all the girls i have had a serious liking to which is about 2 out of the 10 ive been with, the ones i seriously had a connection and love towards were both girls with visible black hair. One of them told me how much they hate it and i basically cheered her up, not telling her how long ive been effected by this problem as well. I also dont advise a girl to ignore this problem and be happy about it cause i know for some its impossible.
The only solution is get rid of it until science figures a way to get rid of it permanently.
My advice to find a temporary solution for a hot day, is to exfoliate your hairs so you avoid ingrowns and shave or wax and accept this is the best solution and it always has been.
If your very self consicous about it, just try getting by wearing a t-shirt and jeans. No matter how hot the day is you will still look normal in that fashion.
I Hope for a cure in the near future for all of us suffering with this garbage!
I just read your blogs. I feel bad for all of you. I believe I have an answer for all of you. Possibly. I was getting hair on chin, and I went to a hair removal lady. She told me that I needed to get my hormones checked. I thought, I am onlyin my 30′s, I don’t need to do that! One thing led after another, and someone told me about this new place in town called SEASONS. They do Hormone replacement therapy. NATURALLY..made from plants!! not the synthetic stuff that causes more problems. I have found that I have very high androgen levels. All people need to get checked, this is NOT for menopausal women only. Kids, men and women need to get this done early before things get worse. Try to find some place local or your nearest large city that will do this testing. They will check all hormones, vitamins, thyroid. The tests are very accurate, and worth it. They do it through saliva tests. Check it out! A regular physician or ob. gyn will not do this testing. You need to find a place that SPECIALIZES in natural hormone replacement therapy.
I really don’t know why I am very hairy. I literally have hair everywhere. I have thick hair on my neck, under my chain, and don’t get me started about my legs, arms, and armpits. My boyfriend doesn’t really like it and tells me to shave my legs and whatnot. I’ve done practically everything!!!! Veet, nair, shaving, waxing, laser hair removal, etc!!! And I am still doomed to be hairy. I just don’t understand why I’m like this. I’m 17 years old and I’ve struggled with this problem ever since I was 12. I really don’t know what to do anymore. So I just stopped caring. I may remove hair on my body occasionally, but othertimes I let it just grow. I’m sick of it. And wtf is up with the infrown hair? It pisses me off!!
And tanning doesn’t even help me, my hair is so thick and everywhere.
HONESTLY I DONT KNO WOT TO SAY IT UPSETS ME WEN I HEAR THESE STORIES ( NOT THT THEY JUS STORIES OR NOTHING.) BUT I UNDERSTAND WHER UR ALL COMING FROM I GET HAIR EVERYWHER , LYK OK LEGS,ARMS , FACE EVRRY1 GETS THEM YE?.. I GET BACK HAIR SHOULDERS, ‘BUM’ THATS RITE ON MY BUTT ITS JUS SOO EMBARASSING I HAVE TO SHAVE SOO OFTEN I DONT THINK I’D EVA BE ABLE TO HAVE A PARTNER COZ I’D BE TOO SCARED FOR THEM TO EVER SEE THE HAIR .. SO JUS THINK ATLEST U GUYS ENT ALONE LUK THERS LYK 10/20 OTHERS OF U ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ..
I’m a 14 year old girl, and i’m starting high school in 2 weeks. The problem is that i have hair everywhere! I’m pretty sure that my friends and other people have already noticed my excessive hair, but so far no one has said anything hurtful about it. One of my best friends just said “hahah you have a mustache. i do too”. Lol, that’s not a very encouraging thing to hear. I’m not the only girl in my family who has excessive hair, my younger cousin has the same problem. I’ve heard that shaving makes the grow out like a man’s, and waxing burns, and i’ve personally tried the removal creams, but my skin got very irritated. And i’m too young for laser removal. My mom says my problem is normal, but i know it’s not! I don’t know of ANYONE outside of my family that has this same problem. I think about it like 24/7 because i always have to see it, and when i’m with people, i know that they see it too, they’re just too polite to say anything. I want a boyfriend but i’m pretty sure that no boy i like would want a girl with body&facial hair than him. It brings me down to have to think about it. I hope that someone will find a cure, and soon! Thanks for listening to my story.

Hi Hairy Mate,
Sorry for my bad English and spelling, but English is my second language.
I have same problem with my hair as you do, but in the past I got help. Right now I am in another country, so I have to find a family physician. Back to you, first you have to go to a doctor, I guess to a family physician and tell your problem. He/she is going to take blood to check your hormone levels. especially androgen, testosteron, prolactin and thyroid hormones. Probably you will be sent to have a head CT or MRI to check if you have a little benign tumor which can cause body hair. Also, they will sent you for a stomach ultrasound to check if you have PCO (polycystic ovarii). Depends on the result, you might get medication for your problem and that should help.
In my case, my prolactin hormone level was high that caused my androgen level to go high as well, so that is why I was very hairy. I got Bromocriptin medication that really helped to lose some hair. I have no medication here and I am hairy again.
So, do not be depressed, there is help, but you have to find a good doctor.
Good luck!
Hey cutixox, its not that bad ,i have heard of many people not getting there period untill they are like 18!!
there are possibilities of your really stressed , or your eating habbit could improve, or its just not your time yet ..
im scared to talk to my docter about my period too , ,what i recommend is just say to your mom , next time you see her – Hey , mom .. i havent got my period yet , and i just want to know if there is anything medicaly wrong with me .. and i dont want to have a body exam from the docter,
Something like that ,
this was rele sweet
i have hated myself all my life becuz of my hair problem
nd reading something like this, from a guys point of view, really makes me feel so much better about myself
and your right, there are probably plenty of guys out there who arent as vain as we all may think, that dont have problem with it
i feel so relieved
thank you so much
OKAY!!! WOW WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN!!…well before I say anything I want to first say that it’s nice to know that I am not alone because honestly I thought i was an alien…a hairy alien…
….I’m not joking when i say I literally have body hair all over myself… I have a trail from the back of my neck coming down my back then onto my beautiful hairy ass 
…It’s so sad I don’t even want to get out of bed sometimes because there are days when I just want to kill myself because I feel so ugly…I have no motivation to do anything in life because I feel like there’s no point since at the end of the day I am and will always be just a hairy monkey who was born in the wrong era…i was supposed to be born in the ape era…I remember this one time in school I felt something go down the back of my shirt…so I asked my best friend if there was an insect on my neck…so she looked at the back of my neck and was like nope! dnt worry nothings there but hair hahahahahahaha…and i laughed too just to pretend like I wasn’t embarrassed as hell and on the verge of tears…that hurt me so much because it made me realize how many little things I wont be able to do in life because I have no confidence of my hairy body…what if one day I get a boyfriend (which i doubt that would happen since no guy would want to date someone hairier than their pet monkey) and he wants to tie on my necklace for me…and I lift up my hair to expose my beloved hairy back and neck..the poor guy would get a heart attack and I will honestly die of embarrassment and disgust…I absolutely love the beach but I never ever go and it’s so hard because all my friends are hairless and they are constantly at the beach…every week i make up an excuse to avoid going to the beach and not only because I’m embarrassed to reveal my hairiness to them but also because I’m disgusted of myself…when i put on a bikini i feel like crying, I can’t stand to look at myself, there are times when i avoid looking in the mirror or even touching my bare skin because i can’t stand to feel the hair 
….I wish I could just sew a cloth all over my body permanently…I have liked so many guys and have cried almost every night since i was 13 (now I am 18) because I knew deep inside that I could never be with those guys because they were so hot and hairless! 
….there is no reason these guys should like me…I’ll just be a whiny hairy ugly girl…it really hurts to know that I will never feel like I can get the guy I like and enjoy life….I met this one really cute boy this year (hairless as usual) and he really liked me but I told my friends to tell him that i was not interested even though i liked him soooooooooooo much and he was on my mind 24/7….but i told my friends to say that because he was such a sweet person and he honestly deserved a much better girl than me 
… my stories can go on forever! i have soo many things to say but I am honestly done with boring you guys :S I just want to say that knowing that I am not alone really made me feel better…because everyday of my life I never felt like i never fitted in anywhere…but now I know that I am not alone…I am so sorry for all those young girls who have to go through low self confidence levels like me 
i feel your pain
I have had issues with my body ever since I was a little girl but honestly THE BIGGEST ISSUE OF MY LIFE is my body hair
Love your self!! Being hairy is not that bad..eventho…I really wanna go to the beach and just run naked Lol or just a tan will work.=)

wow. thank god i’m not the only one. i’m fourteen, and i have a hairy stomach, back, arms, really hairy legs (my hair grows back after one day of shaving) and other parts. i am in a long distance relationship so i’m happy my bf isn’t here to see me like this. i’m going to talk to my mom about trying this. because i really don’t have to be so self conscious about my hair. everyone i know thinks i’m beautiful, my bf thinks i’m the most gorgeous girl he’s ever seen, and i can’t be happy with the way i look because of this issue. i really hope this works.
I’m ashamed of my body. I have dark, Long hairs Everywhere!and I never knew so many girls had it. They should seriously research this because its depressing and I think its a disorder because we become obsessed with our hair and it really controls how we live on a daily basis. Ive been made fun of by Everyone in my family n yet I’m still hanging on. I’m the prettiest but when its time to go to the pool then I feel like the ugly duckling. I’ve shaved, waxed, nared, and just recently tried laser hair removal on my stomach to see quick results…still waiting for the hairs to fall out. Idc, I’m determined to be pretty from top to bottom and counciling someone who has thought about it everyday of there life and trying to make them feel better is like an anorexic telling a fat person there not fat. The fat people Know that there fat and feel even worse knowing that the anorexics try so hard not to beCome fat like them. I also have a bad case of scoliosis so imagine being able to hide your ugly hair w/ clothes and yet scoliosis (your torso’s shape) is showing off to the world to laugh at. I can’t get a break lol my body looks like I should be in the circus. I’m twisted up and hairy all over. Look up scoliosis on google just for fun one day and see what I mean
Hi i was wondering if I could get your e-mail

I’m sooo glad I ain’t the only one I’ve shaved after my Bff told me it wouldnt do anything and now I have harry arms thighs and a little unibrowl I shave my legs but its humiliating because while my legs are hairlesss my thighs are hairry!!!!!!!!! I hate! Shving and my dad humiliates me because of that he’s just playing around but it really hurts my feelings and that’s why I wear a long sleeve everyday to school even in PE and even if its 100 degrees outside!!

I’m also 12 and I REALLY have problems with the hair on my legs and arms,but I’m sure no one will pay attention except the boys in my class, I’m VERY nervous for school since I will be entering junoir high, I am very insecure too, you should wear short sleeves when it is VERY hot, and you can wear a tank top and a sweater, that is what my cousin always tell me, and who cares what other people may think ssure it hurts, since I had to go through that millions of times, all we need is confidence, and sometimes I go shopping with my cousin to buy me wax are shaving things, and I just hide it in my room if I don’t wanna get embaressed:D
Hey ‘im just trying to find a bit of help
Im 16 i am 5’5. and overweight
I am so self conscious i dont want a doctor look at my flabby stomach. It makes me freak even thinking of it.
What do they do when you go to the doctors about your period? Do they do a full exam?
I am so afraid i will never be able to have children.
I cant really talk to my mum about it because we dont really get time to talk. she works full time and is a single parent.
I’ve read on all these websites to get afraid if you havent gotten them by 16. i dont know what to do. its really starting to scare me.
Please if anyone can help will you please email me soon. my email address is cutixox@hotmail.com
Hi!
and I also get so annoyed and jelous when I see hairless girls and it just pisses me off even more when they act like their the ones who are so miserable…What you wrote really made me feel better because now I know I am not alone
You really said everything that has been on my mind since i was like 11 and now I’m 18!…Like there are days when i wear a nice outfit but when I look in the mirror I feel ugly as hell because I know I’m just a hairball underneath all the clothing…I literally have hair all over my body! LITERALLY! and its jet black too
Takecare
im 13 nd have had it 4 a year or 2 i know im young bt i dnt wanna tell my mom even though i can go 2 her. bt the problem i have is that i cant wear a 2 piece swimsuit the only 1 i can wear is the 1 that cover my stomach. nd i c all of my friends get 2 wear 2 piece swimsuits with there stomach showin. i know im young bt in the next few years theres gonna b parties with girls swimin in 2 pieces nd im goin have the 1 piece or the 2 piece that covers my stomach
nd i cnt get the tea stuff without my mom knowin or already seein
I’m 18 I have hair allll over my body. I’m like 97% hairy. NO LIE. It sucks at my work I have to wear my hair up. And I get so embarrassed because my cheeks and neck is so hairy I feel like that’s what everyone is looking at. I’m not an ugly girl either so u can imagine what a set back that is on me.
I have a boyfriend. Who I’ve been with for two years. He’s never told me anything about it (thank god). But I know he’s seen it. And felt it.
I guess I’m super lucky to have him. But I’m not happy in my skin my family always tell me ur so hairy jess. And I get so mad. I fuckin know ok?.
Its just really hard. And I’ve told my mom but she doesn’t think I feel strongly about. I’ve seen women with really thick hairs on their face and I just wanna cry. I don’t want to get like that. I have dark peach fuzz and loots of it. Its so gross.
And that’s just my face don’t get me started with my belly,arms,legs and butt. Now those hairs are really jet black thick. :.(. Its really sad. I really need to find something that’s going to get red of my hairs for good.
I am also happy to know that there are girls out there not just older women with hair problems.
I think u guys could really be my best friends. Because our hair problems are a big deal to us and “normal” people make fun and just don’t understand like we do.
Good luck girls
Pls let me know if anything u guys have tried really worked and ur extra hairs or gone pls.

heyy
i have the exact same problem. im 16 years old & ive tried everything to remove the hair & not alot does much for it as it just grows back the next day.
ive had this problem ever since i came off the pill.last year i was with my ex and decided to go on the pill. my hormones were everywere which didnt help and so i decided to come off the pill and i then became even more hairy. before i went on the pill i didnt havenoticable hair on my chest etc but now its very noticable. im not quite sure wether the pill was too blame but i noticed the changes when i was on it.
I know EXACTLLY what you are talking about .. i am 30 yrs old and have since the age of 14 yrs old had problems with alot of hair. I have hair on my chin, upper lip, stomach and hairy arms . I get laser treatments done to my face but the rest i dont really care ! I have been in relationships before and the men have never said anything about the extra hair . I do want to tell you that you should probably see a gynecologist about this problem, it may cause problems later in life. Please remember that you are beautiful no matter what people say , the only thing that matters is what YOU think ! Take care of yourself and dont let it get you down!!
Hello everyone,
I’m hairy too…. I shave my arms legs every single day. Surprisingly I don’t have those ugly bumps on arms as I do in my legs when I shave.
I used to feel ugly and was very insecure about. I met my husband when I was 19, back then I would use nair on my back, my stomach and it would be smooth for a a week or so, my arms and legs I always shaved since I was 18 and a guy at work told me to shave my arms. The point of the matter is that you will be loved by someone who can care less about hair. my husband has the smoothes back I have ever touch without hair, I have a very smooth back my self so he says… and he never complaints about my hair. He buys me dresses despise the dots on my legs from the hair constant growth and doesn’t care what no one thinks so why should I? and why should you? Be happy with your self – I tell you that you need to learn to love your self now before you decide to make any drastic changes to your body and then regret it. My pastor used to tell us that you can’t move to the next stage until you are happy with this one. don’t be complacent just be happy. You are not alone. I’m the only hairy ball in my family all the other woman have smooth hairless skin and although they always made fun of me I never took it personal – I grew up at the beach and no one is taking that from me.
I’m 16 and have the same problem as all of you. It does really suck but I’m glad to know I’m not alone. I think I’ll try the tea as well. My hair isn’t really thick on my back and face so I really hope it will work.
Hair is beautiful to men, especially on the stomach….very sexy and attractive
go to an endocrinologist and get your androgen levels tested. you will probably be prescribed an anti androgen medication which takes roughly 3-6 months to take effect.
You are only 14. Give your life some time. You are so funny. I had to laugh. Maybe you can put that humor to use.
My neices are really hairy. They have dark long hairs on their white bodies. One of them dropped some ice cream on her arm and the hairs were so long and tough that the ice cream didn’t even touch her skin.
I suggest you go to a dermatologist or a gynocologist and see what they recommend.
Good luck. I’m sure you will find a good mate when you grow up. If hair is your only problem then you have it made.
Bev
hey girly what so ever u have written is amazing, i would suggest all the girls to listen your words carefully and just do what so ever you say, and thank God that you have got rid of hairs, i wish you alll the best in future

hi
I have hair fall problem and i would love hairs on the body of a girl, and for kind information of all girls, please dont remove hairs if you remove hairs so remove from all the body so that it would become nice looking, and you know that the best thing in a girl is legs back and chest, if their are no hairs on these moentioned places so a man would love to see all the body. so please remove all the hairs and make your self prettier than now and in this you can give more pleasure to the man.
syed_275@hotmail.com
the below comment was meant to be a reply to the 14 year old girl’s comment titled ” i have hair all over”
honey don’t worry ALOT of other girls have this problem too, your not the only one, me included. here are my reccommendations:
breast and chest hair= bleach : will lighten hair.since these hairs are usually thinner, it wont be noticable. i reccomend this for the back too.
arms= wax =i do this sometimes but when im lazy i just shave once a week or so when im in the shower. its no big.i dont reccomend doing anything to finger hairs though, their small no one is gonna notice!
legs= shave and moisturize.all girls i know shave so thats also not a big deal
AND my new favorite discovery for stomach hair…..SANDPAPER.! now allow me to explain. theres this new product out thats called Smooth Away pads you may have heard of. theyre little grey pads that remove hair. well my dad SO CLEVERLY found out that they didnt have “micro crystals” they were advertised as, but it was just verryy fiine sand paper! now dont get sand paper with a texture whatsoever, get the smoothest you can find and rub in circular motions on your dry stomach. the hairs fall right off and just put lotion on after!
and last but CERTAINLY NOT LEAST…have confidence girl! dont make it noticable that your bothered by your body hair! dont talk about it (no one needs to know ) and dont bring attention to it. i personally would never talk about it to my friends (their all hairless..haha) but talk about it with your mom if you feel like your alone. im sure she can make you feel better about it, and you never know..maybe shes had body hair..? haha well good luck to ya and just remember, your not alone. !!
girls… everyone has hair .. it’s normal for girls to grow hair in these places. It’s just that some get it more then others. And when you see people with absolutly no hair on them what so ever. It’s probably beacuase their just like you. And they try and hide it by shaving. In my opinion, DO NOT SHAVE. I used to shave my legs and I got ingrown hairs all the time. I tried all different kinds of soaps and foams, I also tried condsionor, and even mens shaving cream! Then I started waxing…. That was the perfect thing to do. But I stopped because I hated waiting for my hair to grow back long enough to get waxed again. But now i’m on hair removal cream. Veet. It’s like shaving…. it just takes off the top of the hairs (not the whole root, like waxing) but doesnt cause me anymore red spots!
So if you do want to remove the hair, wax it. Otherwise hair removal cream.
Hey girls i have found somthing that will help the hair but won’s get rid of it or reduce but it makes you alot more comfortable in your skin.
I am 16 and i am like a hair ball i have hair everywhere stomach,back,fingers,toes,upperlip,arms,leg etc …………….
I have tryed all the methods to get rid of the hair
shaved,plucked,waxed,naired .. i even saved up for a course of laser treatments guess what this didn’t work either i was gutted 2months of going and there was no way near a improvment :’(. so i just stuck to shaving it was something i could do everyday and AFFORDABLE when i shave the hair comes back the next which i excpect.. , but i find it a annoying when i’m left with all the red dots on my skin caused my irritantion from the razor even though i used shaving foam and mouisteriser it’s such a kick in the teeth.
well recently i was told by a friend that she use’s hair conditioner when she shaves because it’s alot more comfortable, so i decided to try it, so i went to the supermarket and bought there own brand conditioner ya know the cheap one because i was only shaving for goodness sake lol, so when i got home i thickley layered the hair conditioner on my skin and started shaving ( I suggest you leave the hair for about 3 days like i did ) and it was the most comfortable shave ever and i only had to put a blob of mouisteriser because the areas i shaved were really smooth, This is because the hair conditioner makes the hair soft and conditioned when you remove it making it easier ( it smells nice too ). So now i shave every two to three days becuase the hair comes through alot more softer and not so prickly make it more comfortable when you put clothes on.
I hope this has the same affect on you girls

( p.s i have been to the doctors and he said its nothing its just where i have dark hair and theres nothing he can do about it )
Even if your’re as bad as you say.. You are only 14 and you haven’t hit puberty fully yet..chances are you’ll turn into a beautiful swan..I’m a living testiment, when I was around 7 I was really cute and I won a lot of beauty pagents but around 13 my hair fell out and I was hideous freshman year but then around Jr year it was like I blossomed and turned into an entirely different person! Even after graduating highshcool I feel I get prettier everyday.
Of course this isn’t the case but I just have confidence.lol
And tons of girls wish they were as skinny as you and more than likely you’re gonna be naturally on the thin. side but you’ll still have womanly curves, perfect for modeling.
But whatever happens always have confidence in yourself, you could look average but if you dress to compliment your style and personality. Throw on a little mascara, blush, and a smile. And have a winning attitude ppl will think you look like a million bucks.
i know excatly how all you girls feel i have had this problem since i was a bout 11 i am now 16 nearly 17 .
Everyday its horrible when your wearing your clothes and you know that all this horrible overgrown hair is under you clothing. i have shaved , waxed , hair removal creams. I get so jelous when i like see these girls wearing bikini’s and there like hair free and they act so miserable and you think theres girls like us who would love to just be hair free. I spoke to my mum about this problem and she has the same as me so i’m guessing it’s in the genes. my sister has the problem aswell but her hair is blonde like my mums but i have dark brown hair on my head but the body hair is jet black and i have light skin aswell so this really doesn’t help the problem.
sometimes having this problem makes me feel really abnormal at times because the hair is just everywhere i meen EVERYWHERE i have it on my back nearly all over , on my stomach everywhere , arms , legs , armpits , above my lip , on my bottom just basically everywhere you dont want it to be.
i’m gonna try spearmint tea and let you guys on this page know how i get on hopefully it works
.
i hope my story has made you feel like your not alone and that are so many people like you and your not the only one.
good luck for the future

i shaved my back like 7xs cause it was hairy and i wanna know if it will still work if i drink the speartmint tea?
Hey everyone, I am a 14 year old girl and I have hair all over me. On my back, stomach, legs, arms, chest, breasts, toes, butt, girl area, fingers, armpits, and neck. On my face there is hair but it is not that noticeable. I am light-skinned and I have black hair. It looks so bad. Sometimes I don’t even look at my body because I can not stand to see it.
I am going to high school and I am so afraid of the comments that I may get. In middle school some people would talk about it but they wouldn’t make it such a big deal. Every time I wear short sleeves I feel that everyone is looking at the hair on my arms. I hate it so much. It makes me feel really sad. I shave my legs and I sort of regret it because now the hair grows back really fast and my skin isn’t smooth. I used Nair on my legs but never tried it anywhere else. I am thinking about getting like 2 bottles of Nair and using it on my whole body so the hair can go away. I have long hair so if I have a shirt that has a low back I just wear my hair down so that no one can see the hair on my back.
Sometimes when I see some of my friends still looking at my arms and my chest because of the hair I start to talk about the hair. I just don’t like it when they talk behind my back and I know about it. I will bring up the subject of my hair just so I can make it seem like I am comfortable with it when I am not. Everyone is always saying shave it off but I think if I shave it it will grow back more.
I have had boyfriends but I still think that they had problems with my hair but they won’t say it to my face. Sometimes I think that the reason why some guys don’t like me is because of my hair. That sucks too especially when I like them. But I just tell myself they are missing out on a great person. I try to do a lot of things to bring my confidence up.
My mom had the same problem when she was young. She had hair all over and she told me that when she started having kids they just went away. I can still see the little dots on her skin that looks like there was hair though.
Sometimes I don’t know what I should do. I am thinking about using the spearmint tea soon so I am just going to try it out and if it doesn’t work then I guess I may just have to deal with it.
sometimes it’s good for you’re skin to see the day light. go in your back yard, in a bikini, and get some sun. this won’t burn off the hair b
ut will make it less noticable.
I’m covered in hair. I f***ing hate it. I look like a monster. I’m living proof of evolution: some of my relatives were definitely apes. I have a unibrow which I pluck to shreds when it even thinks about growing back, a hairy upper lip which I also pluck but it still leaves the dreaded shadow that lets everyone know I had hair there, a (small) beard that my faithful tweezers spring on when it grows too bad, hairy cheeks which I try waxing but it doesn’t work very well, the most DISGUSTING hairy arms I’ve ever seen on a woman that I can’t bare to look at, a “happy trail” and (finer) hair on my breasts and entire stomach, and thick underarm hair and pubic hair (that’s quite bad even for underarm hair and pubic hair) and DISGUSTING long, course hairs on my legs. I also have fine hair on my butt and back. I even have some growing on my hands and fingers and on my toes and feet. And even some (small, but undeniably there) hairs on my nose!
And did I mention that no matter how much I pluck/wax/shave them they keep growing back?
Also, my hair is not affected by hair removal creams.
They actually make it worse: it becomes thick and clumped together.
I can’t take it! I look like a gorilla. I expect my mirrors to crack one of these days when I look in them. I went to a hair specialist person and they gave me Dianette (a form of the Pill) that is supposedly effective at curing excess hair, but I’m scared to take it because I hear it can cause some pretty bad side effects (like baldness on the head and blood clots) but if I can’t find another way to get rid of these disgusting hairs I’m probably going to take it and go bald, and if that happens I’m never going to go in public again.
My body itself (even without the hair) isn’t good either.
I’m really skinny and it looks horrible.
I want to be slim, not skinny.
I’m 14 years old, 5’4 and yet I weigh just 47kg (a little under 8 stones = BMI = 17.9)
I also have the skinniest fingers and arms in existence.
I’m not joking.
I once knew someone who was bullimic (sp?) and I compared arm and finger size to them.
I was horrified to find I was skinnier and they promptly thought they were fat and were instantly unhappy.
I try to put on weight but I can’t.
And to top it all off, I’ve gone and got a million spots on my face.
So I’m a super hairy, anorexic looking, spot covered freak.
I guess they’ll make a film about me one day: “The 40 Year Old Virgin 2″ because a guy would have to be seriously drunk and/or have mental issues to even think about touching me.
If the hair didn’t make him die of horror, my jutting hip bones would impale him to death.
I hate my life.
ok were all in the same situtation i thought i was the only hair gurl in the world…my brother always says imma monkey nd it puts me down some times i hate HIM. lol….okay well
i wax my face beacuse if i dnt i wll have only 1 eyebrow lol i no its sad the most problem that i have is on my back stomach nd ass wow…..i have never wore a 2 pice in my life maybe wen i was a baby but in my teenage years never neways i just save or tell my brother to put nair on it even tho its embarrasing…=( i hate everything abt me i think this really makes me go threw depression sometimes i dnt wanna be alive cuz of this problem i fell cursed soo iono at to do i guess ima have to shave all my life until some one inventes a cure for hairy woman sadley i feel without hope… i have a bf i really like and he always try to touch my tomach or rub my back nd i dnt want him to even though me in thoes places its ssooo imbarrasing =( anyone want to talk abt e- mail me texascutty69@yahoo.com
i was embarassd to wear swimsuits but nowadays i remove my hair every week so i have the oncfidence to go out. im used to it now soi ts not as time consumin as i origianlly thought it was . girls just remove it the best u cann+dnt let it get u down! nearly every girl i knw has hair on her belly n othr’not normal’ places. ours just show moree than othrs! x
i am a 16 year old girl. i dont have my period yet and i have hair EVERYWERE. i wouldnt care if it was all over my body but it is on my face!!!! side burns, neck, chin, lip… i would do anything to get rid of just that! i shave it EVERYDAY!!!! i have acne problems and when i shave im afraid it is making it worse or idk … i tried waxing it but it came back within 2 or 3 days and that isnt normal at all… i tried the laser thing for a year and it didnt do a thing. my youth group goes on sooo many sweet trips like Mexico to build houses and to the states for Creation Fest and to Rush and stuff but i dont ever go because i worry i will take to long in the shower or there will be no shower or someone will find out. not only does my armpit hair grow fast my skin is darkker and it is soooo noticeable and it looks horrible. it makes me wear clothes that i dont like and keeps me from the things i really like … i am also not the smallest person alive but im not that big… i have navle hair and but hair but if i didnt i think i would be more comfortable in a bathing suit as i wear tankinis and am constantly pulling the tops down. i wil not wear just bottoms, i have to have a skirt or shorts on because of the hair on my thighs… it hurts to shave it and it ALWAYS has razor burn so i try to avoid shaving it as much as possible.my legs it hurts and within a few hours it is stubbly again… all my hair runs in diffrent dirrections also so when i do wax i have to do it in SOOO MANY DIFFRENT WAYS!!!!!!!!!! fortunately i have only a little back hair. my arm hair is probably more than most ppl but i dont mind… it is the least of my worries. anyways i guess we all have wishes and wants but this is who we are and we need to find ways to live with it,
ladys im 16 years old like everyone here i feel a lone and no one to talk to abt my problems =( i to have hair everywhere is soo imbarrasing wish it was gone!! if anyone has any adive for me e- mail me at tiffa510@hotmail.com
i really need some one to talk to abt this =( thanks.
hi, i’m 15 and i actually do have a hormone imbalance. i saw my normal doctor, who then recommended me to another pediatric doctor who deals with endocrinology (hormones)
I have also seen a dermatologist about my issue, as far methods of removing hair.
And yes, show them your hair. This will help them understand the extent of your problem, and they will be more likely to prescribe you the correct meds. Don’t be embarrassed…they’re doctors, they have seen everything before. This is about YOU getting better, not what the doctor thinks of your body.
So I posted here a week or two ago, and I got a blood test from the doc. I apparently have more “active testosterone” than normal girls my age (15.)
So I’ve started taking birth control this week, and it supposed to help regulate my periods and cut down on the hair, they might even add this other med which helps stop hair growth too.
So just to let you guys know: THERE IS HOPE!
To all the girls my age….do you have irregular periods? Because if you do that could be the reason why there’s too much hair. Talking to your doctor and going on birth control could help solve it. there’s also PCOS which can be detected and treated.
And i’ve learned to not beat myself up about being “hairy.” I wax, I pluck, I shave, I nair the damn crap off. It’s a hassle but I have hope that this is going to be with me for forever, and it might not be permanent for any of you guys too.
and also, YOU ARE NOT A HAIRY MONSTER! do not call yourself that!!!! just because society has told us that we need to completely hair free doesn’t mean we’re not worth anything! you all are beautiful with hair, or without. i personally feel better about myself when i take it off, but self confidence really is the answer. if you aren’t confident about yourself and love yourself, then who can you love? so keep fighting back, we are strong and we will all get through this!!!!!!!
and by the way, i also have a ton of hair on my arms, legs, thighs, butt, lower back, stomach, “happy trail” =/, cleavage, side burns, upper lip, chin, and eyebrows.
but since i’ve been vigiliant about hair removal, YES i go to the pool with my friends, YES i date boys, and YES wear shorts with confidence!
who cares if you have a few stray hairs on your legs!? show them off anyway!
it’s all about how you look at things. i hope things get better for myself and for everyone on this thread, and for every girl who has to deal with this. be strong. <3
I’m thirteen-going-on-fourteen and I’ve come to terms after reading this that I am indeed an abnormally-hairy person. I have hair on my breasts, stomach, back,and (I recently discovered) butt, not to mention my eyebrows…thank you so much, Dad.
I’d love to know if there was any simple way to remove my excess hair, because it’s a huge downer and stops me from wanting to wear two-piece bathing suits. I know I’m luckier than most since the hair on my stomach and back is a light brown, but it gets darker on my butt and my arms (Mom…) are somewhat untamable.
Being hairier than most girls has an impact on my self-esteem, but I’ve learned that it’s best not to let it get to me, because the minute I start bleating to myself crap like “I’m not worthy of a boyfriend” or “I’m a hairy monster” the words will become true in both my brain and reality.
Of course, having oily skin is bad enough as it is, and I never was hairy until, like, a year ago…is it all hormonal changes???
Meh. People are so dang vain sometimes. I say be proud of your hairiness and be yourself…you’ll find a guy who loves you for who you are one day…
I HOPE YOU DONT REALLY FEEL THAT WAY. I AM ALMOST 40 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH BEING VERY HAIRY SINCE I WAS A TEEN. I’VE SHAVED, NAIRED AND WAXED MYSELF CRAZY. BUT I DONT WORRY ABOUT IT TOO MUCH NOW.MAYBE ONE DAY I WILL TRY LASER BUT ITS NOT REALLY A BIG DEAL. WHEN YOU GET OLDER YOU WILL REALIZE THIS. I HAVE A WONDERFUL, GORGEOUS HUSBAND THAT DOES NOT CARE IF I AM HAIRY OR WAXED. I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT WORRIES ABOUT IT AND I HAVE TO GET USED TO THE FACT THAT HE DOES NOT MIND. NOW I JUST MAKE SURE MY UNDERARMS AND LOWER LEGS ARE WAXED SO I CAN WEAR CAPRIS, BOARD SHORTS AND TANKS AND I STILL ENJOY MY SUMMER! WHO CARES? THERE ARE SOOOO MANY MEN (NORMAL AND HANDSOME ONES) THAT ARE ATTRACTED TO HAIRY WOMEN!
Like everyone here, i’m hairy, literally from head to toe. i can’t take it!! i told my mom about it and she says it’s normal! lyk WTF! how is it normal when u have a body thats wayy hairer than a guy ? IT’S GETTING WORSE too. Im going to hs next year and idk what to do beacuse we have to take a swimming course for only 2 weeks i think but still i don’t want ppl to see me hairy! && how do u expect me to change infront of all the other girls when im covered withh hair(during gym).. though i shave i find it a waste of time and it comes bakk too fast!. && how do u expect someone to shave their back andd butt and other parts where u can’t reach, sighs- if anyone can help mee mesg backk plz.
I’m 14 and about to start my freshman year. I cant hang out with my friends at the beach or when they’re having a pool party. i cant even where gym shorts. i have hair everywhere: unibrow, upper lip, breast, stomach, back, butt, public place, legs, toes, fingers–EVERYWHERE! I just dont know what to do – IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE CAN U EMAIL ME AT: ISRAELIGIRL77@AOL.COM
THANKS
No one really understands what you’re going through except yourself. I know because I deal with excess hair on a daily basis, like everyone else on these postings. You can’t expect people to understand what you’re going through – if you’re lucky your friends and family will support you if you choose to talk to them about it. But YOU are ultimately the only person who can deal with this. I’m in my 20s and I’ve had excess hair since I was 12. Everyday is a struggle to wax/bleach/shave/pluck and walking around under fluorescent lighting is the worst, because it highlights every stray hair. I’ve never had a boyfriend because of this – what guy is going to find a girl who’s hairier than him sexy? I’ve been in love with a boy for nearly a year now but every time I look at him I feel queasy because he has perfect, flawless skin and I’m over here like a furry primate. I know he wouldn’t ever look at me until I sort myself out. And that’s the point I’m trying to make here – it’s not about accepting this, it’s about solving it. Do EVERYTHING you can to get rid of excess hair because like it or not, that’s the only way you’re going to feel okay about yourself. It IS scary to think about what would happen if you didn’t take care of it, and it’s supposed to. Excess hair is a symptom of an underlying problem, and if you can make it to a doctor and get them to diagnose exactly what the underlying problem is, then you have a better handle on it. I’d recommend seeing a doctor immediately and educating yourself on the symptoms, the underlying issues, and treatments. I would give anything (well, almost anything!) to accept myself but it’s the luck of the draw and people like us were just handed the short straw. So don’t think, just do. Get reading, get diagnosing, and get waxing.
Post back on this blog to track your progress.
I am only 14 years old i have had body hair since i was 7 years old it was real bad when i was younger i had a stubble and i had sideburns and i had chest hair, i got picked on a lot at school the kids even beat on my arms and tripped me the teachers never did anything about it my mom finely took me out of school and stated homeschooling me anyway when i was around 7 people would call me a boy all the time they never stopped i would always get stared at, when i was 10 years old i went to the doctor for a yearly checkup they found something so then my doctor sent me to an endocrinologist in San Antonio and they said i had PCOS its a hormone problem i went to the endocrinologist once every 3 months for about 2-3 years then i went once every 6 months now i see a endocrinologist closer to wear i live she says i dont have PCOS she thinks i have a adrenal thing going on so now i have to go have a MRI and a ultrasound some test and more blood work done in Dallas FT Worth, my mom says that i was even hairy when i was a babe so they did some kind of testing and we never got the results they say i might have tumors but its very unlikely if i do because i have had what is wrong with me all my life and if i did have a tumor they would have found it on the ultrasound they did when i was 10 years old, but because of the body hair i have i cant wear what i want i dont even bother wearing shorts out anymore and because of my body hair i have no friends i never really had any friends but now i have friends online and i have had a boyfriend for 6 moths now me and him txt and talk on the phone and all and i dont like calling people that i dont know like making a request on the radio because when i talk to some one i dont know they call me a man because of my really deep voice but its not as low as it was when i was younger and i cant have electrolosis done i cant afford it and when i shave it grows back darker and all i might try waxing but when ever i go somewhere and there is going to be a lot of people there i just bleach the hair above my lip and i had to go to therapy once every 2 weeks for 2 years and i had to take Prozac because of those kids treating me very bad for my body hair and i started shaving my underarms and legs when i was about 11 years old but i got tired of razor burn so i stopped shaving but when i have to go to the doctor sometimes i shave my underarms but the hair grows back so fast so i dont even bother doing it anymore now i have just gotten to the point where i dont care what people say about me or anything but things are better now for me.
THATS REALLY A PRBLEM IM SUFFERING LIKE U, I WILL TRY THIS TEA AND SEE IF ITV WORKS
I USED SOMETHING CALLED BIOXET AND IT DOESNT WORK , IHOPE THIS TEA WILL DO SOMETHING, BECAUSE I WILL SUISIDE AFTER THAT:(
I have hair ALL OVER and it’s freakin annoying. I have a unibrow, upper lip hair, hair on my damn hands, toes, butt, stomach, breasts, blah blah the list goes on and on, it’s humiliating. And BTW, I’m only 14!!!!!!
im also from SA. you can try buying it online at adagioteas.com. however it will cost alot due to rand dollar exchange rate.
Its B.A.D! My unibrow doesn’t bother me as much as it does my girlfriends. Now, if they knew what I know they would probably need psychological help to cope with knowing… hehehe. I have hairy tummy, breasts, legs, toes, fingers and face and to top it off it’s that weird wiry hair that grows in ALL directions so forget about at least looking like a civilized baboon!

HI THERE,
I AM FROM SOUTH AFRICA – DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THIS SPEARMINT TEA.?
I think I might have a hormone imbalance. I have upper lip hair that I remove every 2-3 days. I have lots of other hair on my face, especially on my sideburns, that I dye blond because I’m sick of removing it. I’m have some hairs on my neck that I also dye blond. I have a LOT of hair on my lower back and butt cheeks. It’s thick and black. It also extends to my thighs and all over my legs. I have hairs on my stomach.
I’m thinking I might have to visit a doctor because no other woman in my family has this problem. But, I have no idea what kind of doctor to visit? And when I do visit a doctor, do I have to show them all the hair growing? I’m kind of embarrassed to do that. And how long will I have to wait for the results? And do any pills/treatments actually work?
This spearmint tea has NOT worked for me. I’ve been drinking it for 2 months.
Share your experience.

One question for you though, why dont you pray to god about curing this problem. I know i cant live normal with it and its effected me dramatically me with my beliefs.
You think God will answer such a prayer?

There shouldn’t be a space between .com and /forum. I had to do that so this post wouldn’t be marked as spam.
I feel like most of the people on this site.
I tried laser hair removal and it slowed the growth but it all came back worse after a while as I had shaved it. it’s very expensive also.
I have used a device from finally free – google it. It is the only thing that works on ‘all hair’.
It costs almost nothing but does take up a lot of your time. It will work but you would need to put the time in the removal – it works by using a tweezer clasping and individual hair for 2-3 mins and then the hair falls out and will never come back. obviously that takes forever but if you do 20 hairs a day it adds up and all of a sudden – no hair. there is a patch connection the size of a cigarette box which will do that area – you would need 10 mins per patch – the patches can only be used 3 times tho then you need new ones apparently. anyway – it works and that’s the most important thing imo.
good luck.
p.s. i have had a good few women want me despite the hariness. love yourself and keep going after people you like. don’t let it get you down or stop you from trying cos theres plenty of other hairy good looking people out there!
ugh! im so over it at this point! im not even sad anymore! im pissed! i hate being hairy!!
its summer and i want to wear bikinis and shorts and tank tops and finally get with this awesome dude but i cant! why? because im a frickin’ sasquatch!!
i havent shaved in weeks!
i just wear long pants all the time and never show my belly. at this point i dont care if people see my hairy arms. i used to wear long jackets but now im like whatever! if people say something about it (and they have) i just say “you have no idea” haha im just like that! my underarms arent my hairiest problem! actually they’re no problem at all! i mean i can go at least a month before its gets to be a problem! its my legs, bikini area, stomach, butt, and upper lip thats killing me! im hairier than most of my guy friends! and im 16!! this is horrible! i cant do anything! last minute pool or beach outings are out of the question! shorts are a no no and tanks that show my belly are evil!! haha im playing around now but sometimes when i wake up and see myself i get totally disgusted! i mean not to brag im a very attractive girl! ive been told that a lot and ive been asked out a lot and the hair thing is holding me back! im scared to death of letting a guy see me like this! its caused me to be insecure about myself and i cant take it anymore! its clashing with my personality! im not the most outgoing person but im out there! though ive slowly let my hairiness meet the outside world with the debut of my hairy arms i’ll never, i’ll repeat never, let anyone see my legs or belly or butt (why’d they want to see my butt i really dont kno!)!! i just want to be like every other girl and wake up and say ” hey its a beautiful day!! i think i’ll wear a cute pair of shorts and a tank!”!! is that too much to ask for? seriously!?! well sorry for writing so much but i feel a million times better now that ive vented some of this frustation out! so thanks everyone! i feel even better knowing im not the only one and i hope this tea works for me and everyone else!!
man! i wish there was a forum where us hairy women/girls can talk and share removal techniques! well again thanks for letting me vent and good luck to all!!!
i feel like everyone else who has already posted on this thread!!!! i’ve felt so alone, and that no one has the same problem that i do. i have light skin, and very dark hair in every place all of you guys have mentioned. i have gone through laser treatments for my armpits which has helped me a little. i’ve started waxing and i’ve been seeing improvement.
yeah, problem is is that i’m 15 and in highschool…which means that i have got picked on about it. i think i might be going into depression over it but this thread has given me a little hope that there are other people in this world who are going through the same thing that i am.
so thank you, everyone. i guess i need to just learn to deal with it.
it’s not like i’m ugly or unpopular or anything though! i have had boyfriends and i definately have friends, but lately i’ve notcied that i’ve started complaining more about it and i really need to stop because they’re getting tired of it! i really just need to cope…
I think that you need to start a club where all of us hairy woman can meet up with men like you who appreciate our hairiness. One thing that I can say for myself is that my personal hairiness corresponds to high testosterone levels which in turn means that I build muscle quickly and easily and have a very toned physique. I also have an extremely high sex drive which can even be disruptive sometimes….I go to the gym and look at men like they are pieces of meat! haha.
In any case, I too have fallen victim to the modern outlook on body hair and I shave and use dillapitories on a regular basis. I tried laser hair removal and it works for a time, but my super strong hormones cause it to all eventually grow back. Unless you go to an endocrinologist and they can prescribe something to fix your hormonal imbalance, then I would not recommend spending money on expensive treatments.
What I currently use is a combination of shaving and a very cheap, awesome product called Magic Shaving Powder by SoftSheen/Carson. This is a dillapitory that you can purchase at Walmart for about $1.70. I find that for this to work its best, you have to let the hair grow out for a few days. It is far superior to Nair and will remove even the coarsest of hair. I actually use a spatula to apply it to my back, haha! Just make sure that you don’t use this more than once within 48 hrs or you will get burned (personal experience).
I have just recently started using progesterone cream to see if this helps. I have only been using it for a month so far and it is supposed to take up to 6 months before having a positive outcome on hirsuitism. So far, I have noticed that it is helping to stop my head hair from falling out so much. This is another issue that I have experienced due to hormones. I will let you all know in a few months if I see any improvements from the progesterone cream.
Lets all try to find a website where we can chat with men that like hairy women!!
sorry i ‘m going through the same thing the one thing i’ve tried its a middle eastern technique called aqueeda. you buy it usually at the middle eastern stores its cold wax.
or you can go do threading on your face.i usually do that weekly expensive but worth it
do not let this bring you down, there are good people out there. there’s more to life
Lazer hair removal is a bit of a grey area and there are some dodgey outlets claiming to offer hair reduction. Is there hope with this treatment or is it a waste of time and money? Better regulation is needed in this field me thinks.
I admit it’s not as bad or severe as some other women. But, the hair is everywhere. I’m lucky in that the hairs on my neck and chest are light. But the hair on my stomach and lower back are thick and dark. My legs are extremely hairy and the hair grows so darn fast! And everywhere on legs including thighs (gross) … I just can’t take this anymore. 2 months of drinking the tea and no results… perhaps I should try drinking it for another month.
I’m currently looking into other options. (Can’t afford laser or anything expensive so I had such high hopes that the tea would work because it’s natural and cheap…. seems not!).
how bad is your hirsutism?
Has anyone else been drinking this tea?
I’ve been drinking it for about 2 months; a cup or two every day! And I see absolutely NO results! … This is really frustrating. I still have some tea left; so I’ll finish it. But, I am so sad and mad at this point.
Is there anything else I can try? I can’t stand to look at my body; I am so disgusted by it!!!!!
Im 14 years old, and I have really dark hair. Im the only Person i know with dark facial hair on my upper lip.I have dark hair everywhere possable and im very self conscious. Can someone help me boost my confidence or tell me what i can do ?
Every time i feel down about my body i like to come back to this site and remind myself that im far from being the only one. I’m 18 and still hate my body so much, being overweight used to be my issue, i was a chubby child and was teased about it through primary school, as well as my hairy legs and moustache. In highschool i lost that weight, but could’nt feel any better about myself because my hairiness got a lot worse, the hair on my legs got thicker, as well as my underrms, chest, a large amount of pubic hair and worst of all my stomach. It’s everywhere and makes me feel horrible and brutish. I wax it off all the time, ever since I was 11 and it started getting worse, but it always comes back and so fast. I talk to my friends and the hair on their legs take maybe a week to grow back after shaving, yet when i wax it might come back in an equivalent amount of time. I’m so sick of it, and i know i’ll never be able to tell myfriends, even though I’m sure they know somethings up over the years theyve known me, because although I am slim and have been told on many occasions i have a very good body shape, I refuse to show my midriff in any form, i always wear 2 shirts and a one piece bathing suit and boardies. Whenever i say things like ‘I hate my body’, the reponse i
