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

Yep, it's perfectly natural-just pluck them.

never had any, i didnt realize women did until i worked with a woman who told everyone at every given opportunity she had them Blush i'm not a hairy person at all though, neither is my mum or my daughters, maybe genetic then?

No, none for me, and I'm quite hairy I think.

I'm not sure I could cope with plucking such a sensitive area. Isn't it agony?

Yes, 10-ish around each nipple. I used to have one huge monster growing out of my chest between my boobs, but that naturally went away about ten years ago. I used to pluck that one, I shave my nips.
I also have big scary ones growing out of my chin and a furry carpet on each big toe.
DH is lucky to have me!

I also have the same and it is a sign of PCOS.

No, but I used to get one thick, blond 'eyebrow' hair growing horizontally straight out from the centre of my forehead. It was truly bizarre. I would only notice it when.it was long enough to feel with my hand, as it was so blond it was transparent. However, frequent plucking soon got rid of the sucker...

Thinkingpositively yes that's the reason for the name!

Right, sounds like I definitely need to go back to my GP for the PCOS results. Although oddly reassuring that you can also get them without.

Signing in... Never been tested for PCOS tho.
Hairy nips, hairy toes, hairy top lip, hairy bloomin everything. I love my tweezers.

I'm also quite long-haired, as is DH, we used to joke we'd have Persian children. DS doesn't have a full pelt yet thank goodness, but we shall have to wait and see what fate hands him in his teens...
