I have always been a Hairy Mary but at fifty it really is getting ridiculous! My bikini line is becoming my sock line- I can deal with this with shaving and epilating but the crack of my backside looks like I have a sporran shoved in. I have tried shaving and creams etc but always get a horrible rash which looks really nice with all the hair growing back Hmm

How can i remove it without getting a rash? I don't want it there anymore

Veet?

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 09/06/2014 18:01

IPL.

MewlingQuim · 09/06/2014 18:21

Have you considered IPL?

I have a phillips one which has made a huge difference to my legs underarms and bikini line. It could also be used on the arse if you are fairly flexible Grin

They are not cheap, mine was £400, but much cheaper than laser hair removal, much less painful than epilating or waxing, and the effects can last for months. I only do a top up once every couple of months so it has been worth every penny.

I have nothing helpful to add except this is the funniest thread I have ever seen on a message board........Smile

Tallypet · 09/06/2014 18:48

Veet sensitive skin or the stuff for the face. Don't leave it on for the full amount of time.
No soap after - at least until your next shower

ItHasANiceRingWhenYouLaugh · 09/06/2014 18:49

Bikini line trimmer. Keeps it in check.

BeeMyBaby · 09/06/2014 18:53

I would be very weary about the waxing/epilating as you definitely don't want to end up with any ingrown hairs there.

WastingMyYoungYears · 09/06/2014 19:16

hedgetrimmer, did you NC especially for this thread Grin?

I'm snorting and crying.
This thread is hilarious! Pile, brandy and squatting
Grin

WitchWay · 09/06/2014 19:59

Waxing - ouch ouch!

I shave mine by contorting myself in the shower into a sort of squat Grin

Only once managed to hack a lump out of myself Blush

Art at foxes tail

Larimarbleu · 09/06/2014 20:05

Is the hair growing OUTof your arse
or AROUND it?

(could always tie it in a ponytail)

Hobbes8 · 09/06/2014 20:07

You're going about this all wrong. Make a feature of it. Some braids, beading. Maybe a few highlights.

Larimarbleu · 09/06/2014 20:09

Put those loom bands to good use and make a scrunchy to tie up your arse hair.

Nocomet · 09/06/2014 20:10

Since only DH ever sees my arse and we've been together 26 years and grown hairier together, mine stays furry.

I'm too old for this new fangled allergy to perfectly natural hair, in places it doesn't matter.

The hairs on my chin however, Angry

GiniCooper · 09/06/2014 20:13

This is the funniest thing I've read on here!!

cressetmama · 09/06/2014 20:23

Go on holiday to the Middle East and then book a bikini wax. THere, all beauticians and lady customers expect you to have a full bikini and crack done... t'is normal! And a nice holiday to recover, even a something and tonic!!

littlegreengloworm · 09/06/2014 20:27

Surely it can't be hairy enough to swig brandy and try to wax.. Grin

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 09/06/2014 20:40

Oh no, the beautician left me bald all over but left the (even more noticeable) foxes tail

I wonder why she thought you had decided that was the look you wanted. I mean who would? Confused

This thread reminded me i needed razors so i picked up some mac3's in asda as they fit the venus handle and are cheaper (and better) DS2 (5) pipes up, top volume, "is that to shave your beard mum?" Hmm

Freewheelin · 09/06/2014 20:50

Waxing. Beautician will have seen it all before.
To help prevent ingrowing hairs use an exfoliating sponge to scrub gently.
I waxed DPs recently using strips. Grin

Larimarbleu · 09/06/2014 21:15

I know this means I must have led a very sheltered life, but

what is a Foxes Tail ?????

Freewheelin · 09/06/2014 21:38

I was left with a tuft one time when I hadn't rolled back enough and she missed the bit right at the eh, cleft.

oohdaddypig · 09/06/2014 21:45

Foxes tail?! Christ, thanks for making me wet myself (and my hairy arse)

But I'm perturbed. I thought ALL women had hair in their bum? So on that basis I have left mine.

Does anyone not have hair there?!

Can I buy a hair bobble for arse hair?
