1 when hair is visible on your arms or legs, how many of you wear long sleeves w/ pants?
My arms aren't very hairy, so I don't need to hide them. If my legs aren't shaved (it rarely happens) I wear long skirts or trousers.
2 how many people wear socks constantly to hide the hair around the ankle & toes & feet?
-I don' know.
3 does anyone wear turtlenecks/scarves to hide hair on the chest or neck? - I dont have chest hair and neck hair.
4 or comb your hair around your face so that sideburns arent visible.
I wear my hair down although my sideburns aren't very bad. They are light and fine.
5 if you cant wax, nair or pluck for a few days, do you give in to the urge to shave? .
I pluck my chin and shave my legs
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.
- I pluck my chin and shave my legs because it's quick and comfortable. If the hair isn't long I can do it in a couple of minutes.
7 does anyone else get knicked from shaving their
arms or toes or feet?
I have no problems with that.
-What is the strangest place that you have to remove hair? .
-Chin hair. I know many women have it but it's not very feminine. Otherwise I am a very feminine woman, nobody would think that I could grow a beard.
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?
-Exfoliating helps a bit with that. I also use a small qantity of make up.
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?
-I am from Romania. They don't sell that kind of stuff here.
11 WHAT IS A FACIAL HAIR BUFFER? they have those facial hair buffers at the stores but i dont know if they really work like they say they do and HOW do they work? thats why im hesitant to buy it.
-I've never seen them in our stores.
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!
- ?
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.
- least effective - hair removal creams. most effective -shaving (not for the face).I tried waxing and epilators, too.What I didn't like about them was the fact that you have to let your hair reach a certain length before you can remove it again and I can't bear being hairy. When the hairs start to surface your skin, it's very itchy and you get a lot of bumps and it's impossible to shave or epilate, your skin looks awful. If I shave my legs I can have smooth skin whenever I want to.(And I want them smooth all the time)
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 am considered to be a very attractive woman so I have no problems with self- esteem but I am annoyed that I have to spend a lot of time removing hair. I would never leave the house with a stubbly chin or hairy legs. I am a highschool teacher and it would be very embarrassing if teenage boys noticed that I have chin hair. I think I would die of shame.
Sometimes I wonder why I was cursed with this. It's a paradox of nature to be a pretty woman with a beard.
16 does hirsutism cause a less-fullfilling sex life?
-No, but that's only because I try to keep my skin look and feel perfect. Otherwise I could't be relaxed.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?
-It's difficult to accept the chin hair, I can deal with the rest.
18 Cold doesn't seem to make a difference.
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.
