My boob hairs grow faster than the hairs on my head.
Can’t wait for the next surprise.

@blandana my chin hairs grow faster than any other bodily hair!!! Nothing at all last week.... yesterday 10 of the little buggers

blandana · 27/08/2025 22:41

Right?!! And they grow inches overnight. I always have my tweezers at the ready

Tbh I’ve always been a plucker. A plucker fucker 😆 but like you, my tweezers have multiplied. Every bag/compartment/vehicle.

My OH was mortified when I whipped out the babys mini nail scissors in the car and started attacking my chin hairs 🤣 we were on our way to a party and they certainly did not get an invitation haha

shellyleppard · 27/08/2025 22:53

@dontcomeatme im impressed with your ingenious method!!

blandana · 27/08/2025 22:58

Scissors for chin hairs in a car??? Sounds pretty high risk

I want to know what my body is preparing me for that I'm going to need so much hair in my nose and ears for 😮

I’ve reached the age where I seem to put on weight just by looking at food !?!

Top your boob hairs with having to shave my big toes for the summer 👡

blandana · 27/08/2025 23:34

No one wants comb over toes.

What's worse than finding you left your tweezers home when you go on holiday? Finding you accidentally packed your blunt ones!!!! 😤

blandana · 27/08/2025 23:45

So what are your best tweezers, guys? Pointed? Slanted? Flat?

Personally, my slanted ones have had the longest life. Poor things.

All of the above. I have boob hair, chin hair, moustache, nasal hair, big toe hair… but by way of compensation my armpit hair and pubes are now much more scant, so, you know, every cloud…

tobee · 28/08/2025 01:53

Slanted tweezerman for me

Tiredofwhataboutery · 28/08/2025 06:52

I have no boob hair yet , another of life’s disappointments to look forward to. I have developed a mole on my chin that sprouts incredibly long dark hairs overnight, I find myself fingering it in public to check. Random dark hairs on top of lip too. I find slanted tweezermsns are the best. An epilator for dealing with hairy toes.

They were just baby scissors, plus it was 100% worth the risk. No way could I attend a family party with a beard 😅

@PearlClutzsche i haven't shaved my legs or underarm for years 😂😂 one of the benefits of being post menopausal

Yay!
I shave armpits twice per year: once at the beginning of summer, then once in the middle to top it up. Just leave it in winter as there’s not much there.
Don’t have to bother with legs!
