Many women remove excess hair by tweezing, shaving, waxing, or bleaching dark, unwanted hair. There are many low-cost products that can be purchased in drugstores for these methods.Although electrolysis is the only permanent way of removing hair......

Hi J,
well i think we are quite a few having this kind of prob and not being able to sor it out. I have the same problem and where i leave, no beautician sorts it out.Have read other omemnts about pluckin etc. But if some say u can pluck hair out, why then cant we just wax if off?
anyone has tried?
wat do u think?
want advise before trying
cheers

Hey

Im a fair haired girl but i get black hairs on my stomach and on my nipples! i usually pluck them and i have had a session of laser hair removal but i didnt go back because it left a small scar on my stomach. The hair growth on my nipples seems to be spreading! Its so embarressing and i wondered if many other people had it and how they dealt with it?

yes its perfectly normal, i had them, dont do what i did and pluck them though as they get alot worse, i suggest that you go to your G.P thats what i did, she refered me to a dermatologist, i had blood tests to check for a hormone imablance and was refered to the laser hair removal department (god i love that place!) i had three sessions and i took about 8-12 weeks for them to start growing back and the came through alot finer if you have it done regularly you can be hair free, what a weight of my shoulders that was! its not a permanent form but as i said if you have it done on a regular basis as the are coming back through you dont notice. Im 32 now and have been struggling with this since i was around 16, get yourself down to the G.P. and dont stress with it as long as i did.

Have you tried IPL Hair Removal, IPL AFT device delivers flashes of light at specific wavelengths. This light energy targets, and is absorbed by, the pigment called melanin within hair and is converted into heat. The hair transmits this heat into the hair follicle which it destroys and as a result the follicle cannot produce any new hairs. The intense pulsed light is designed to selectively treat only hair follicles so the surrounding skin remains unharmed.

I have had this treatment on my underarm and bikini line and it is fantastic. I am currently saving to have my legs done.

HOw much was this IPL hair removal...and where can I try it?

Hi there, im trying to find out about the IPL hair removal, unfortunately i inherited my dads 'hairy' gene, and ive been hairy all my life, arms, legs, etc and the hair seems to grow back soooo quickly, within 8hours i would say, i also have to leave it grow a little bit beofre i shave cos i then get a skin rash, all very annoying!! So i was wondering how much the treatments are i.e. a list example...arm such and such a price, bikinni line X price, lowers legs x price etc as i so want an end to my stubble, rashes and general embarisment. Please anyone help?? Thanks

Not to worry...I have more than one and I just pluck them. Just make sure that you do before you see a guy!

as far as i know nipple hair on a woman is normal as i have a few and even spoke to me mum and she too has some,so your not the only one (i dont know if you should take this advice)but i myself have plucked them (a bit sore)i have used my immac hair remover cream ,but i just wanted you to know you are not the only girl with this!

I was told, just tonight, after 14years of marriage and my first $150.00 bottle of wine to my lips, that my nipple hair is not normal! I'm really feeling weird.... I always thought it was quite normal. Then I read, "During pregnacy nipple hair is normal". What about the other 3 months out of the year? I think my husband is an Asshole.... I could be wrong?
Make me feel better, cause I can't talk to anyone I see face to face about this BIG issue.

Well to be quite frank he sounds like an uttre Arss of a man!! Nippel hair si Sooo normal! The diference is if your dark haired or fair haired then it will be more or less noticable.

My wife and I both like it when I kiss and suck her breasts during/before lovemaking. Lately- there have been hairs there...not many, probably 10 around each nipple. I don't want to hurt her feelings- but I don't like the feel of hair in my mouth. Should I say something? Spend less time doing what I've always done? Should I buy her a gift cert. for laser treatement? Should I show her this blog? Ladies- I don't want to sound like, nor be an arse! It just seems to be such an easy thing to fix. If there were something so simple for me- I would not hesitate. But, you know how women can be so sensitive about such things...what do I do?

I have had this problem since I was a teenager...it has gotten worse with age (I'm now 40)...it sucks and is not all that EASY. When I pluck it then turns into ingrown hairs as the hair regrows with in days. I pluck I shave but the next day a new hair is always there. I would love to have the laser treatment but from what my other female friends tell me it takes a LOT of treatments so be ready for the expense. My husband has never said anything to me because he KNOWS I am aware (we've been married 20 years). I would say this is something your wife has been dealing with and has just become secure/comfortable in your relationship or is just busier with married life. I don't know how old your wife is how long you have been with her. You are in a real catchy situation. I would just say hey sweetie I noticed you have some hair around your nipples is that normal for you or is that something new that is happening with your body? If this is something new she could have a hormone imbalance or it could have something to do with birth control or other stuff. Just my thoughts as a woman who has always plucked in addition I have talked to my doctor. My hormones are fine it is just something that we women who have it try to hide. I have hair around my navel and on my chin as I get older the hair is more..it sucks I PLUCK and shave all of the time but there are times that I get busy and have to play catch up...this might be where your wife is. JUST MY THOUGHTs
