Calling all hairy lady's

Hi everyone,

I am suffering horrendously with dark excessive hair growth. Mainly on my bikini line and ALL over my bum and down my legs. Iv had this for as long as I can remember but it's getting worse. I'm 33, not over weight (but slightly wobbly). I'm a size 10. I have regular periods and I get the odd dark hair on my chin every so often. Quite a few corse hairs around my nipples.

I am going to go to the Dr's as it's really getting me down. I have hidden it well for years somehow but it's getting tiring and worse.

Any tips/suggestions?

Iv never been diagnosed with anything but id love to hear your remedies other than shaving and waxing. I have done both. Waxing I did for a long time but it caused me to have keratosis! Which I also can't get rid of.

Help a hairy girl out.

Laser hair removal. I’ve never met a woman who was hairier than me (really thick dark hair that was noticeably stubbly within hours of shaving), but I had laser hair removal sessions nearly 20 years ago and it was pretty life-changing.

I would agree with the other person and say laser hair removal if you don’t like the hair. I’ve heard good things about it from friends who have done it. I wax my legs at home with veet waxing strips and that’s the extent of my hair removal 😂. I’m not bothered about hair down there and on my bikini line. And bum? Jeez I just assume hair doesn’t grow there.
