My bush has always started halfway down my thighs. What really upsets me is the bristly chin, lip and cheek hairs. Very distressing. They come from nowhere! I go to bed smooth chinned and wake up like Gandalf.

I've always been hairy and used to spend time shaving and plucking everywhere. Since my 40s (now 47) my chin hair removal is almost a full time occupation. I don't have the time, energy or inclination to deal with other hair anymore. I just cover up. DH says he doesn't mind though he probably does
It's the grey chin hairs that bug me. I can feel them but with my deteriorating eyesight I can't bloody see them to get them out!

I very nearly started a post asking whether post-30 post-partum nasal hair is a thing so at least we’re not alone. Seriously though, follicles, I know winter’s coming but I’m sure we all have plenty of nice woolly jumpers and don’t need to grow our own knitwear!

Yes sorry, you need to start keeping tweezers in the car. I always spot the random chin and neck hairs when I'm in the car.

I have white hairs on one eyebrow. From a distance it looks like a bald patch.

Well you may as well be prepared for the fact that hairs will grow where you don’t want them and will drop out where you’d like them to stay. It’s a fucker. 😬

Ooh id quite like a neck hair, only if it was near the front so could tweeze it though, fed up if the single nose hair that hides but grows stealthily and pings out like a full formed kracken tentacle.

I have 3 on my neck. I check them daily and one morning nothing, the next morning it's an inch long, fat black hair waving at everyone.

Don't worry ladies - your pubic hair drops out when you are very old. Sadly the same cannot be said for your face...

I started getting dark hair on my top lip and the odd dark hair on my chin when I was in my late teens. By the time I stopped taking the pill at 25 I started to get darker hair all over the place - my cheeks, loads on my chin, my boobs, my stomach. Plus my bikini line started to go lower down on my thighs. I have to get my face waxed every 2 months and pluck my chin every day. It sucks.

NECK HAIR? WTAF?

I have enough problems with my head hairs abandoning my scalp in favor of my chin. KMN.

I've been a hairy bugger for years, pale skin, dark hair, but recently, Christ, it's taken on a life of its own! At 32, I was struggling to keep up!

Go get threaded Ten mins of pain, two weeks of no beard. I get my eyebrows, top lip and chin done all at once.

I get this really long, wispy hair on my upper lip. I never see it until it's long enough to get caught in my mouth when I'm eating...tugs at my lip. The first time it happened, I was like "WTF is going on here?!?"

Oh god, this reminds me of a time a long time ago (15 yrs ago roughly) when I worked in a call centre there was a female colleague, I'd guestimate in her early 40's sat next to me and we were chatting away and I saw a black hair on her shoulder. I thought it was a stray hair that had fallen out of her head so lent over to pick it off and it was attached to her shoulder. For some bizarre reason my brain didn't compute it could be attached so pulled at it two or three times more whilst looking confused. She actually had to say "can you stop doing that please" in the end. I was mortified and still am everytime I think about it. I don't know why I continued to pull the hair. Just have to put it down to one of those stupid things I do sometimes. Anyway now I am a bit older, wiser and hairier it's a mistake I'll not make again!

Yep I’ve got chin hairs, my nose hairs seem to have doubled in length, I get white eyebrow hairs (luckily only a couple so can pluck), haven’t got a bald or grey foof so that’s something to look forward to
I also have tweezers in my car, can see soooo much more in there than in the house. In work I’ve been known to feel a tiny stubble chin hair and go to my car in car park to get the bugger!

Oh nooo is that why there is a random pube several inches down my inside leg? Is it a scouting party? 😱

Thank you for a good laugh - I needed it Brew

I'm past the scouting party stage - I've got a fucking battalion encamped there AngrySad
