Do you have hairy boobs?

I started getting underarm-type hair around them at around age 30. I pluck them when I see them but they seem to spring out when I'm not looking. DH finds this hilarious.

I thought it was just me but then he and DD were watching the celebrity SAS program and one of the contestants was showing her hairy boobs to another woman. It turns out I'm not the only hirsute one, hooray! Now I'm interested to know how common this is via a completely unscientific MN poll.

Yes course. I have like 8 that always come back and so does my best mate. It’s a hormonal thing. I barely have any hair on my arms or legs so it’s surprising.

Yes I pluck them out. Awful.

Also am a nurse. It's soooooo normal. Not even something we would find abnormal in patients at all.

I am glad to see this. I was told I was a freak and no female had hairy nipples.

No I don't. I could grow a full beard though if I wanted to (thank you PCOS) so I feel I've done my bit for hair growth.

Delays at airports definitely do strange things to your brain. I once saw a woman do a complete cleanse, tone and moisturise routine.
Maybe cut your toenails or chant your times tables.

I've amused myself by discussing which diamante-studded bra I should buy in Victoria Secret with DH. It's closed now though so no sparkly underwear for me :(

@DiscoRice which rude bugger told you that?! I hope you scratched their face with your magnificent boob stubble.

Girls in the changing room at school.

I'm glad VS was closed. That purchase would not have been wise.

Do you think plucking my knee bristles at the airport be acceptable? There are people sleeping on the floor so the usual rules might have been abandoned and it's sooo satisfying.

Ha! I bet they're all hairy-boobed now and regret their mean behaviour.

Go for it. Normal rules do not apply.

I hope they have hairy chins now. I don't 😆

Agreed. I imagine they chafe.

We finally have a gate. My knee bristles are safe for now.

That's good. Safe journey. Your knees can be attended to on the plane.

BasilandTom · 28/08/2026 21:26

Yup. They started sprouting when I was late 30s. The odd one here and there that I pluck. The ones that get me are the fuckers on the underside of my boobs. I think I’ve got ‘em all and then lift my arm up to put deodorant on, and see one waving to me in the mirror.

And don’t get me started on the chin and neck hairs that spring out of nowhere, which I almost always discover as I switch my laptop on at work in the morning waiting for it to load. Gah!

CalmFairy · 28/08/2026 21:32

Ive just checked mine in ok no hair yet.
But may i ask them that pluck the hair from your nipples/boob area it must really hurt.

Periperipolyphonic · 28/08/2026 21:34

I'm a beast anywhere below the chin
Of course I have hairy boobs. I'm a woman over the age of 35!

Pinkclarko · 28/08/2026 21:36

I’ve never had any on the boobs but just don’t ask my chin or, weirdly, the back of one of my thighs.

Are you at a bus stop?

zebrazoop · 28/08/2026 21:41

The odd hair

NeedAbout36HoursADay · 28/08/2026 20:10

Yes 😣

Also one white hair on my neck which I check for daily yet only find when it's 2 inches long. Why???

THIS!!!!! And it's wiry as hell!

namechange6766333545544 · 28/08/2026 22:03

Yes, and they are thick and dark. I’m not generally a hairy person at all so it is a bit odd.

No.

elprup · 28/08/2026 22:37

Yes! I have a couple of black hairs on each boob. An ex once pulled me up on it and said it wasn’t sexy.

Midlifecrisis2026 · 28/08/2026 22:56

Yes since the age of about 15

Wanker. I hope that’s why they’re an ex.

Tulion · 28/08/2026 23:57
