1 when hair is visible on your arms or legs, how many of you wear long sleeves w/ pants?
I don't wear long-sleaves, I don't think I have any more hair on my arms than normal. But, I do wear long pants simply because I don't shave my legs. I haven't shaved my legs in a couple of years.
2 how many people wear socks constantly to hide the hair around the ankle & toes & feet?
I have hair on my toes, but not on my ankles and feet. So, no socks if I'm wearing sandals. (one, sandals and socks equals yuck; and two, I look stupid with jeans and sandals on, but oh well
3 does anyone wear turtlenecks/scarves to hide hair on the chest or neck?
I don't wear anything low-cut, like crop neck shirts. So, no, no turtlenecks, I have huge breasts, turtlenecks makes them look bigger.
4 or comb your hair around your face so that sideburns arent visible.
I don't have enough hair to try to conceal my sideburns.
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)
I just take one of those little face shavers and shave my face every few days or so (I'm mostly a shut-in). I don't wax, or shave any other part of my 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.
None, just shave my face every few days.
7 does anyone else get knicked from shaving their arms or toes or feet?
I don't shave my arms, toes or feet.
8 whats the strangest place that you have to remove hair?
When I get nervous, I take my tweezers and pluck the hair on, and between and on the sides of my breasts off.
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 don't. Haven't bothered with shaving for years. I do hate those things on my breasts. When I first started getting hair on places other than my face, legs, stomach, pubic area and ass, people used to ask me "what was wrong with my breasts." How embarrassing.
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 don't know about sex, I've never had it and don't particularly want to. I never had a social life either. No one has said anything about my facial hair to my face, but I have seen people staring, and I'm sure people did talk about it.
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 know. I was a social outcast even before the hair popped up on my face. I do wonder if I would have had a better life if my mother and I lived around people that looked like us (we live in a mostly white, rural area). It's really hard to say, I've been depressed and felt helpless/hopeless since I was six-seven years old. :|
18 does the cold seem to make hair growth worse?
I can't tell really. |
