1 when hair is visible on your arms or legs, how many of you wear long sleeves w/ pants?I don't worry about my arms too much but if there is any stubble on my legs I'm wearing long pants if I'm around anyone but DH
2 how many people wear socks constantly to hide the hair around the ankle & toes & feet? I tend to shave any foot or toe hairs that are on my feet before wearing shoes that show my feet.
3 does anyone wear turtlenecks/scarves to hide hair on the chest or neck? I've not really had to deal with that.
4 or comb your hair around your face so that sideburns arent visible. I shave my sideburns daily.
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've never waxed and nair burns my skin. I'd spend all day in the bathroom if I plucked. I shave because it's efficient and smoother for me.
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 shave. It's cheap and my skin doesn't react badly to it. I hate that I have to shave but I just deal with it rather than fret about it.
7 does anyone else get knicked from shaving their arms or toes or feet? I don't usually knick myself on my toes or feet. I have to be careful on my chin, ankles, knees.
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. I carefully shave the hairs around my nipples. Unfortunately, one time I nicked my nipple on the day I was having my annual gyn appointment. That hurt so bad and it bled forever.
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 know how to get rid of every bit of the stubble.
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
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.never used one
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!never used one
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.Nair burns my skin, Nads doesn't work, plucking taking forever, so I'm stuck shaving since it's economical and a bit quicker that other ways.
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?No it doesn't effect my love, social, or sex life. I'm a little paranoid if I think someone other than DH might notice and comment about excessive hair.
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?DH does know. I try to keep the hairs on my face, pits, nipples, and tummy in check. I tend to let some of the other go for a bit.
16 does hirsutism cause a less-fullfilling sex life? no effect
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 feel like I've come to accept the problem. It's annoying but I've got to deal with it. Life's too short to worry too much about that.
18 does the cold seem to make hair growth worse?I haven't really noticed.
