Well maybe not quite that bad...
But DD not so subtly pointed out today that really it's TIME and now I'm a bit omg about what to do. Should I bleach it lighter? Or get some anti fuzz cream or similar?
Is this the start of a beard....oh god....I'm already plucking the little fuckers off my Chin every week or so Angry
The moustache consists of about 6/8 thick black hairs above my top lip on each side. I agree, I need to deal with it!

When this happened to me, bleaching just made those thick hairs a bit blonder, not less obvious. I then waxed for a while, then bought a home IPL machine which worked so well on other areas, I had a go on my tache. It's been brilliant, only a few treatments and I've not needed to do anything else for about a year!

carrie what machine do you have?

Op, get a springy thing. Yes it makes your eyes water a little but do it after a bath while watching tv and it's really ok. Dead cheap, does the trick in a few seconds and regrowth takes a while as you are pulling the whole hair out

I've got the Boots version of Lumea but it's a few years old now. The IPL machines look even better now!
