To be horrified at my pubes making an advance on my knees....

[TheScreamingfrog]

I am only 38 FFS

[Ubermumsy]

PS I don't think I can have laser/IPL treatment as I also have monster thread veins on my legs . Leggings are a godsend (or they would be if I wasn't an atheist, but you know what I mean).

[LadySlatternlysHoover]

So why, with all this hairy growth, do our eyebrows disappear?

Why? Why?

[Nombrechanger]

Über-I used to think that no-one would want me either. I would never wear short sleeved tops because I convinced myself that my arms were the hairiest on earth.

Jolen is my best friend.

[quizzywizz]

I have PCOS also blessed with a Casper-like skin tone and dark brown hair.

I look like something that causes Bigfoot myths.

It is to the point where I can't even look at my hairy self in the mirror so I am going to live and die alone.

[IfNotNowThenWhen]

I am not even very hairy.. BUT..I have found 3 PUBES growing out of the back of my knee!
AND, I noticed in the bathroom mirror the other day that I have a kind of handlebar 'tache! It's blonde hair, so only noticed in the light.
Why has nobody told me I have a moustache??!
I may get some wax and fashion it into a dashing shape.

[Ubermumsy]

Isn't it the worst, when you suddenly catch sight of your fizog in bright sunlight and you realise you are thoroughly bewhiskered? I've started carrying tweezers with me to tackle embarrassing quills.

[Ubermumsy]

I don't even have PCOS either (at least I don't think so). Just genetics - DM was hairy too in her youth. She told me it all starts going grey and falling out once you get beyond 70. Something to look forward too, huh

[quizzywizz]

ubermumsy So I will finally be able to date at 70 plus?!

Depressing stuff to be hair from chin to toes.

[WipsGlitter]

walk a mile in my pubes, sister BRILLIANT

Hairy thighs - back and front, massive 70s style bush, toes, chin. I keep tweezers in the car now for the chin.

[FarBetterNow]

Enjoy your hirsuteness, they do disappear when you are post menopausal.
Except the bloody chin & tash hairs!

And pubes go grey!!

[idiot55]

yip pubes are the first to go grey ( erm not that I know or anything, honest)

Right hairy nipples, anyone else?

[LittleMissLucy]

Not here. My head is almost completely grey, my pubes a nice shade of chestnut brown.

[dementedma]

Grey pubes are awful. Well, white really. And sparse. My lush bush is long gone.
Yes to moustache, wiry chin hairs.
No hairy toes or nipples though

[idiot55]

ah Little thats my theory gone, wonder if its purely down to genetics what goes grey first or, hair colour? who knows!

[LittleMissLucy]

I think its genetics. Its also an Irish / Celtic thing.

[EuroShaggleton]

quizz that colouring makes you the perfect candidate for laser (the greater the contrast between skin and hair colour, the better).

My hairiness used to really affect my self-esteem. I'm so happy that it is under control now and could kiss whoever invented laser hair removal.

[EglantinePrice]

Laser has changed my life. Not IPL (didn't work) Hurts less than waxing. No scarring. DO IT.

But despite my luscious, thick, quick growing body hair I have shite, fine, head hair. How thoroughly unjust.

[EglantinePrice]

Just realised how that description makes me sound... like some hideous balding, yeti freak. Which was how I felt before laser.

[quizzywizz]

I was told that laser wouldn't work because of the PCOS - something about fluctuating hormones.

Hairy arms too - always feel like people are looking at them.

[Bobyan]

Ooo Euro I too am a glow in the dark pallour with nearly black hair. Maybe I should just go for it...

[Bobyan]

I also have a home IPL machine, which does seem to slow the regrowth after treatment...

[snooter]

I thought pubes disappeared with age, certainly becoming moth-eaten after the menopause.

I've recently found the odd grey one - aaargh - I'm only 48 & not yet menopausal. I thought the odd grey eyebrow bad enough.

No sign of kneeward migration, but I do keep them in trim - don't want to look as if I've a cat sitting on my lap.

[EglantinePrice]

quizzy you may get new hairs(or you may not if your PCOS is under control) but the laser could still blast the existing ones.

[Gottleogear]

I very rarely post but just had reply to this!

Thank God I'm not alone

I have suffered from the bikini line down to knees, backs of leg, toes etc for a long time and thought I was a freak. Spent a fortune over the years getting waxed, in fact I was once asked did I mind if a trainee came in to observe
I am in fact the "missing link"

But I have been perimenopausal for 4 years and there are some advantages...body hair is just starting to thin out, so by the time I'm post meno... oh in ..ANOTHER FEW FUCKING YEARS...but that's another thread entirely.
I should be happily hairless

[LittleMissLucy]

Oh goddleogear you've given me something to look forward to
