I do. I feel like a freak. How common is this?

I have a few hairs on my nipples and I just trim them with scissors. I tried plucking but got ingrown hairs that were painful to get back out again

I get a couple and just pluck the, out. I've asked all of my female friends about this and they all get them!

Fellow sufferer here. I've resorted to plucking.

I have them, and pubic hair that reaches my tummy button at the front and all round my bun and up my back. And an almost full beard and moustache.
I have severe PCOS though so it is part of that.

I think mine would still be pretty noticeable if I trimmed.

I've got a few too. I remember when I was a teenager my mate's vile boyfriend trying to make fun of her about this and every girl we were with saying they had them too.
Strangely I have a lot less now that I've had a baby.

CockyFox snap on the hairy tummy. My GP wants to test me for PCOS.

I feel so unfeminine.

No, none here.

No, I don't either.

I'd never heard that this happened. Or that it was so common. I feel odd.

Yes. One thick black one appears on my left nipple now and then. I pluck it out

I have a hairy tummy too! Currently being tested for PCOS so my opinion in this thread may be slightly invalid as my "hairyness" could be a medical thing.
But don't feel unfeminine, I think body hair is entirely normal and it's just our silly society that states that women need to be hairless creatures. It's bizarre really. Who woke up one day and said we should all start shaving our legs!? Madness.

Yes. A few. Thought everyone had. Everyone I have ever spoken to about this has said they do. Hate it. So unfeminine.

In the USA nostril hairs are removed. That must be painful.

Yes loads. Dark haired, hair everywhere. No PCOS to blame either!

I have to do a bit of plucking. Ex P was appalled when he caught me once

YokoUhOh · 26/05/2013 20:03

Yep - pluck them. I have a fetching blonde 'tache, too - it's kinda comforting to stroke it sometimes really must learn threading

Yes, a few, although fewer since I had a baby. Wish I could say the same for my upperlip and chin.

It's not at all unusual op! I have them, so do many friends. Annoying to deal with though, I had them lasered a few years ago but it only lasted a couple. Fewer grow now and I pluck.

Well this is all very reassuring I must say, thanks Smile. My mum has also told me that her hormones settled down a lot after having babies. Maybe I should start using this as a chat up line and crack on with it.

I've started getting electrolysis on my stomach and the beauty therapist asked if I wanted to book in for my nipples as well. She hadn't seen them so I guess it must be common, at least among hairier ladies.
