to be alarmed that at 32

[Cblockbitch]

I am sprouting hairs from previously hairless places? wtf is this my life now?

[PawneeParksDept]

I'm 37 and have had a stressful two years and feel like I've gone from looking like still 20s to looking 40s overnight

I started with 2 or 3 hairs on lip in teens (PCOS)

Now it's full muzzy situation, and an uncountable array of black hairs from my immediate chin bone but down to my neck. I saw an old lady with a full white beard a few years ago and I was like "Fuck that will be me"

I've done Laser it's now worse than it was

The thing with the Lumea is you can't pluck or wax in between. Shaving leaves stubble and I just can't go that long.

It's super depressing but the comments here have made me laugh

[PawneeParksDept]

I'm sure I had the JML and the battery lasting 5 mins and then it broke

I almost bought the Tweezerman defuzzer product today but I baulked at £20 price tag

We should just a fill a bath with hair removal cream and sit in it once a week. Use a garden spade to scrape the fluff off. I wonder if that's what all those hairless women on love island, naked attraction etc do?

[Flashingbeacon]

I didn’t realise other people weren’t as hairy when I was young. My legs have a full covering of hair from my bikini line to my ankles (further now). I was at uni before I knew lots of people had just skin on their legs. I hate them all obviously.
Anyway I mentioned my Ming the merciless to dm today and she said she only has 1 beard hair. That was a tough conversation. I had to make her put on her glasses, then the bathroom light, then look in the magnifying mirror. She was horrified and mad at me for a) not telling her and b) showing her what her face actually looked like.

I'm sitting reading this with the usual pair of tweezers in my hand, running them all around my chin and upper lip to see what I can catch today. When I get one I add it to the collection on the post-it note beside me, thought I might try felting at some point :D

I have a random hair that appeared on my forehead, just over an inch below my hairline. I've left it there, just in case my hairline is moving down and I can enjoy not having a high forehead in my later years, but so far it's friends have not decided to join it.

[Katedotness1963]

You can go to bed with a hairless chin and wake up with a thick, inch long hair sprouting out there. I wish the hair on my head was a...as thick and b...grew as fast.

[NameChangedNow]

DP enjoys plucking my chin hairs out. far too much, strange man

[MerryMarigold]

I just really don't get why hair thins on your head and grows everywhere else. Why do your anus, chin and breasts require warmth in old age? And yet the top of your head, where most heat escapes becomes sparser. It's made me doubt evolution, I tell you.

[tobee]

I remember coming out of hospital after birthing dd and all my hairs had grown inches in the greenhouse like atmosphere of the maternity ward.

Neck hairs are my nemesis they're so bleeding awkward to get.

Definition of happiness:- finally pulling out that recalcitrant whisker.

Definition of misery:- malfunctioning tweezers that cut rather than pluck, leaving you with stubble

[tobee]

PS the fun thing is, if you pluck upper lip hair, regrowth can result in electric shocks for people you kiss!

Try it!

[EllieThornton]

I am getting on in years, well I'm 60, and my hair has gone grey. I also swim everyday for exercise, and lately I have developed "swimmers hair". So instead of my excess body hair being hardly noticeable, it has now turned bloody green! If anyone refers to me as the Incredible Hulk, there will be blood, I swear.

[lightonthewater]

Electrolysis. I've been having it for years . Unfortunately once you get menopausal a whole load of new ones sprout, it's just an ongoing expense.

[MerryMarigold]

Waxing strips on the chin ones. Gets a while lot in one go. Less painful than plucking

[strivingforsuccess]

@meddie
Totally was gonna suggest this tool - great for the tache!


Years of plucking hairs from my witch mole on my chin - some of which are now white!
Pluck the nipple hairs
Use the tweezer man for under chin, stray cheek hairs & sub belly button
Have noticed the pubes growing down inner thighs.....try the tweezerman on those I shall!
Growing old gracefully!

[strivingforsuccess]

@pawnieparks
Head to eBay for tweezerman equivalents- less than £9 with free delivery or collection from your local Argos! 😉

[Purplealienpuke]

Thank you all for cheering me up on this very stressful day 🤣.
I've never been a hirsute bird, only 6 or so armpit hairs ever and shave my legs once a month if I can be arsed (I'm single, who cares!).
But since the perimenopause occurred I have developed facial down, blonde, when I'm dark! I'm relieved it's not dark hair but it's a nightmare! In amongst the fuzz there are a few REALLY long fuckers!!! I don't always see them. I occasionally get one between my eyebrows too. If I don't notice it it can grow long enough to poke me in the eye ffs 🙄.
I don't have alot of pubes either. I tried shaving the lady garden once, got terrible ingrowing hairs so didn't bother again. Very painful!

[TeddyIsaHe]

Oh ffs, pube trousers?! I’ve only just got on board with the fact I need to wax my nostrils (after someone kindly asked what was up my nose in Sainsburys, thanks body!) and now this!

[itsonlysubterfuge]

I've been getting chin hairs since I was in my teens... I've gotten use to them. I've had a moustache for years, but DH always insists I don't have one. The other day DD kindly pointed out that daddy is wrong, I do have a moustache. She also let me know that.. "Mommy, you ae really young, but you look old. Daddy is young and looks young. Grandma is old and looks old, but you are young and look old!"

[Seafoodeatit]

@LoisWilkerson1 I imagine you're not far from the truth, a lot of people laser every inch of their bodies too. I wish I could afford it/put up with the pain!

[pumpastrotter]

I am 27 and already have the knee to crotch pubes (and for a while). Always been reasonably hairy, bottom of my back and snail trail are very fluffy. When i was pregnant the snail trail thickened and went up to my chest - they don't tell you that in the baby books! Fell out after, luckily.

The past year my nipples have started sprouting thick black hairs and I'm having to pluck them every other day. Recently had to start plucking fine but dark hairs out of my cheeks too. I have my lips filled and never realised how bad my 'tache was until they took an up-close photo

[ICantBelieveIDidThis]

I have just taken off an M&S silk scarf as it was rubbing against my stubble and creating a maddening itch. 😳

[yorkrose]

I have a graveyard drawer full of torture devices with the epilator at top spot for being the most painful for me and selfie wax strips coming in second. With no one device being adequate, the No No and tweezers I use for my face and neck and the good old razor for the onesided Pube shorts (looks a bit dodgy when it's itchy growing back). Forget the toe hair, doesn't it mean you have good circulation and there to show off!
The eye sight is starting to let me down; is this mother nature being kind so you can't see the hairs on your face... Or is she being cruel as everyone else sees them and your oblivious!

[penguingirl]

oh yes, that one maddening chin hair! And the weird odd white ones. I'm fairly sure it's to do with the pigment of your natural hair colour, the root still being dark I mean. I have spent a fortune on electrolysis, epilators, tweezers, magnifying mirrors, other gadgets etc over the years. Not to mention the time that probably adds up to weeks or even months that I've spent removing hair. It has been an issue since my teenage years. I now pluck the strays on my chin, eyebrows and nipples, ignore my tache and won't have razors in the house. I get a full leg, bikini and underarm wax when I can afford it but stay hairy inbetween because at 40 I've decided I have better things to spend my time and money on. It's actually quite liberating. Although I have this weird thing where I have no issue whatsoever with people seeing my armpit hair but I have to keep my legs, feet and toes covered when outside the house/expecting visitors.

[yorkrose]

You're

[LongSummerDays]

I can scrutinise my face with magnifying mirror and remove every hair that shouldn't be there, get downstairs and OH will gleefully tug on a black hair sprouting from my chin which is about 4 inches long that wasn't there 30 seconds earlier.
