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.

Was also a victim of a circle of long dark hairs around areola, but since my teens. Laser it off 10 years ago and not come back (yet…).

I had no idea this was a thing.
I am wincing at the thought of people plucking them.

Doesn’t hurt at all to tweeze them (at least not for me!)

Yes 😣

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

I would love to know this and why I can't grow 2 inches of hair on my head in one day. That would be amazing

Same. Had electrolysis 20 years ago and never saw them again!

The same for me too! I had electrolysis on mine, took quite a few gos but they did go - never thought they would as electrolysis didn’t really work for me on my upper lip or chin.

I also had electrolysis on my stomach hairs and they went too - so there is hope!!

I just shave mine. No bother at all. It's fascinating seeing how long the hairs can get though, especially as I only have about 3 per boob x

I used to get hairs on my nipples but since having my boob job (uplift and enlarged) where the nipples were removed and made smaller, the seem to have all disappeared!

I have 4 of these, neck, above eyebrow, back and upper eyelid!!

Also check ALL THE TIME then one day I find it and as you say, inches!

Every once in a while one will spring out at least an inch long, seemingly over night. Maybe 4-5 times a year. They are long enough I don’t even need tweezers to yank them.

MirandaWest · 29/08/2026 15:15

I don’t have any nipple hairs. But the amount that sprout on my chin, and go from nothing to about 2 inches long is phenomenal

whatsit84 · 29/08/2026 15:18

Yes! I pluck them out when I spot one…..or more likely, multiple….

It doesn't hurt at all. There's a tug and a satisfying itch-scratch.
