I've been reading alot on these posts and find it quite amazing that I am not the 'only' one with this problem! It started for me when I was 13-14. I was riding home on the school bus and this boy pointed out to everyone on the bus that I had a hairy chin. It was bad enough that I was a fat kid all my life never mind all this happening! From that time on it just got worse and it still is. I am now 28 and it's still a major depressing annoyance.

For me my facial hair is thick, harsh and dark and I am light skinned. I have a little upper-lip hair but it is my chin and below and my jaw. My arms aren't that hairy and I do get a little on my toes and the top of my foot which is easy to take care of. However, I have excess pubic hair and on my buttocks (sorry if this is inappropriate to mention! - but it is a problem for me!) That part I dont know how to get rid of.

For my face I've tried creams and shaving, waxing (doesn't work right for my face) and I've spend hundreds of dollars on laser treatment. Laser is great for the 2 weeks after you have it done cuz your face is smooth but it just comes back and was getting way too expensive.

Also does anyone get dark belly hair too? Oh yeah, I also have dark patched skin in the armpit area which is why I don't wear short sleeved shirts - anyone else have that????

Is the braun epilator (sp?) the same as shaving/plucking or is it much better? If I pluck with tweezers i get stubble the next day and it grows back in so harshly and very dark until the hair grows out again( which is still thick and dark). And shaving I get stubble within 8 hours again.

So what is the difference between the Braun, a razor, or tweezers?

Does anyone have my similar problem? I'd like to know!
