I have hair in all kinds of places I don't want it. I've had tests and there's no obvious cause. I've taken hormone medication, which hasn't achieved much. I've had laser treatment, which has massively improved my bikini line but didn't work anywhere else. I now bleach my upper lip once a week, shave my legs from top to bottom and bikini line every other day, shave the hairs around my nipples and my "crab ladder" every day, have electrolysis once a week/fortnight for the hairs on my chin/neck ... and that's about as much as I can afford, both time- and money-wise.
From a distance (and even close-up on a good day), I don't think it's that noticeable. The odd lovely soul has actually said I'm a "hot" mum (yay!). I have had a few men interested in me. But I do worry about a new partner having an issue with the odd stray hair I've missed in places they're repulsed to find it, and stubble on my legs and elsewhere.
I know the old line about someone worth being with loving you as you are, hairs warts and all. I like this idea. I just wonder if it's really true. After all, I don't think I could get excited about moobs on a man. But I would like to be with someone again, when the time's right, and I don't want to feel rejected over this hair business - or forever worrying about if it's bothering them. I don't want to be hardline feminist and let it all grow, but nor do I want to be enslaved to obsessive girly preening. There has to be a balance. Do lovely, decent, sexy men really exist who'd be unphased by a bit of hair in surprising places?
