1 when hair is visible on your arms or legs, how many of you wear long sleeves w/ pants? I always wear long pants if I haven't shaved my legs..even at home. I usually don't try to hide my arms ..unless I haven't waxed in a long time, then I'll wear longer sleeves when I go to work.
2 how many people wear socks constantly to hide the hair around the ankle & toes & feet? I usually wear slippers around the house, but I started waxing the little hairs on my toes so I don't mind going barefoot!
3 does anyone wear turtlenecks/scarves to hide hair on the chest or neck? I don't wear low cut blouses if I haven't removed the little hairs on my chest.
4 or comb your hair around your face so that sideburns arent visible.
YES! but my sideburns aren't the problem..its the hair on my cheeks.
5 if you cant wax, nair or pluck for a few days, do you give in to the urge to shave? (actually i heard plucking is worse and shaving is better but i feel safer plucking for some odd reason) yes..but not the hair on my face..just by body.
6 favourite method of hair removal (besides laser/electrolysis but if youre on it PRAY TELL how its working for you and how long it took to complete the treatments) here are some preferences: sugaring, waxing, threading, plucking, shaving, finishing touch/electronic hair removal blades, nair/cream. also please recommend brands, types, and pros of cons of the ones you like or dislike very strongly. It depends on the part of my body where I am removing the hair..I wax my toes, shave my legs, thighs and bikini area, wax my arms, bleach my face and neck, tweeze my brows and wax my above my lip.
7 does anyone else get knicked from shaving their arms or toes or feet? sometimes..but I love the Intuition razor..hardly any nicks!
8 whats the strangest place that you have to remove hair? i dont know if its strange but my fingers...i actually woulda said the tops of my feet or a couple other things except that i saw some people who said they too have to remove the hair from there. my chest
9 HOW on EARTH do you get rid of all that tiny black stubble? the kind that looks like pores in your arms or wherever you remove it from? the ones that when you shave or whatever its still there! my legs even kinda look like that bcuz im so pale and then i got these li'l dots except on my legs its pores, on my arms its hair. anyone got any ideas? I wish I knew. I don't like wearing shorts, even after I shave because of this.
10 anyone tried those hair buffers by con-air or any of that kinda stuff? the ones where you replace those pads on it? like a microderm abrasion kit? no...looks like it would feel like sandpaper!
12 anyone had any luck w/ the facial hair buffer, hair off mitten, or the Sally Hansen hair removal kit that includes the "hair wand"??? i dont know what the hair wand is but its called something like that i think, i cant remember but i was and am tempted to try it except that i think its probably going to be something like nair in a tube, or "wand". i just wanna know what it is! no luck.
13 favourite method? most effective? least favourite? least effective? please give details as to why, if you can. i.e. the smell, the residue, painful/leaves burns, too much preparation time/doesnt remove small/long hairs effectively, doesnt remove hair as its supposed to, etc. favorite-shaving, bleaching because its easy and quick..I also LOVE Nair roll on WAX (not hair removal CREAM!) for my arms! it is clean, easy to use, removes all the hair, washes off easily and I can do both arms in about 15 minutes! This is great for the chest area too.
Least favorite- Veet, Nair hair removal cream..stinks, does not remove all the hair, burns and the hair grows back fast and thick!
14 how does hirsutism affect your love/social/sex life? and on a scale of 0-10 (or OFF THE SCALE!!!) how would you say that the hirsutism affects your self-esteem/self-worth? I was teased horribly when I was a teenager. I'm 30 now and still remember every incident. All of the men I have been involved with have teased my about the "hair" except for my husband. God bless him, he has never made me feel like less of a woman because of it. But I'm to self concious to let him look at my face in the bright sun light..or be intimate with the lights on. Sorry if TMI..but he's a butt man and I never let him touch my behind because I don't want him to feel any of the little hairs. Sometimes I will not take my shirt offbecause I don't want him to feel anything..We can never be "spontaneous " because I always have jump in the shower to shave..(as if he doen't know what I'm doing!) So I would say on a scale from 1-10....it would be a 9!. I wish I could erase the comments that have been made to me by other men so my husband wouldn't suffer for it but...I can't.
15 does your partner know you have hair? do you cover/remove it and try to keep it flawless all the time or do you sometimes let it go for a bit? he knows..but has never mentioned it..Its hard to keep it flawless all the time...
16 does hirsutism cause a less-fullfilling sex life? well..its always in the back of my mind..I always feel like my bikini line is too rough or my legs aren't smooth enough. Sometimes I wear thigh high stockings when being intimate..they're sexy and hide stubble!!
17 have you come to accept the problem or do you constantly find yourself wondering how things would be different if you DIDNT have it? does it cause a constant state of depression/loss of control? I don't think a day goes by that I don't wish I didn't have this problem..I constantly compare myself to other women that don't suffer from this.
18 does the cold seem to make hair growth worse? I feel more stubble when I have goose-bumps.
19 pros & cons of your favourite method/least favourite method. i know ive put this a few times on here probably but i figure that different products may be listed on different areas so you dont have to answer this if you have already and youre going to say the same thing you already said...lol bcuz i dont wanna be a hassle BUT this is more for the last words on any product that is worth knowing about
BCPs do help..I just wish there was a way to control this without the use of drugs. |
