Anyone else here that is dealing with body hair fed up with buying clothes? I'm just so sick of it. All the clothes I love I talk myself out of buying because it will be too much trouble keeping up with the hair. I mean is it just me or are girly shirts getting shorter and shorter? If I bend over it shows my lower back and if I lift my arms to reach for something the shirt shows my hairy belly. UGH! And just forget tank tops. Also, i've always dressed tom boyish. Ever since this problem came on I want to dress more girly but it's just impossible. Can anyone relate?
Yeah I hate it when girls shirts are like that. What I have done is go to the guy section and buy guys button up shirts that are girly colored and unbutton them a few buttons down and pull them down in the back. It compliments my figure and gives you that sexy I am wearing my boyfriends shirt look. Hopefully this helps.
I just wear them anyway, I really don't care about anyone seeing the hair. It's not like there aren't other women out there with hair on their stomachs/backs, and men get away with being ultra hairy all the time, why can't we?
Hell, I went out last night in a pair of cut-off shorts, legs unshaven. I'm getting to the point where I just don't think it's necessary to please everyone by not being hairy, hehe.
Yeah I agree with inferiority too!! So what you got some hair whatever. I used to shave my legs everyday since I got my boyfriend guess what I only shave my legs once a week and tell you what compared to his beard my leg hairs are nothing. Plus new fads have to start somewhere so just show it off and if someone if rude pick on one of their flaws then. Nobody is perfect!
i still do my legs, but leave my chest n face....so what if ppl see it....i dnt care.

I hate this! most of the shirts I find have these plunging neck lines.....NOT FOR ME.
I don't know about the "let it all hang out" thing. That to me is easier said than done. I don't know how much facial hair or chest hair you have - or what color - but I would never dream of going out without taking care of it first. Maybe you are just more brave than I am.....

I don't think it's about being brave, but about just not caring what people think.
My mom doesn't care what anyone thinks about her. She doesn't allow other people to bother her with their harsh words(if they have any), or allow anything to affect her negatively. She always has a positive attitude and looks for the good in things(and people). If it weren't for her encouraging me every step of the way, I would probably become a hermit and stay inside my house all the time, as, just recently, I had completely lost all hope in humanity.
I still get angry with people for some stuff, but I don't let their opinions bother me anymore. For instance... my DH's friends absolutely do not like me. I allowed it to bother me, to the point of not wanting to accept a ride from one of them in 90 degree weather. And then my mom straight up told me that I need to just ignore what they say and not allow it to get to me, because that's what they want. People who make fun of other people are just trying to belittle you because they have insecurities themselves.
I'm still learning and adjusting, but going out in an outfit that makes me feel good, despite the hair on my stomach/back, was the first step for me. I can shave, wax, nads, etc. my stomach and back all I want, that still doesn't change the fact that the hair *is* there and will be growing back. It also doesn't change the fact that I'm not the only person in the world with these problems, nor will I be the last.
I heard that starting the next two seasons women's clothing will be more modest. I'm looking forward to that.

I'm totally on board. I rarely wear shorts or skirts, not because I don't like my legs (I actually love them, all of my annoying rolls and such are around my middle) but because with all of the hair I deal with, my legs really get put on the back burner.
The chest hair is similar. Sometimes I have some ingrown hairs or breakouts because I shave my chest, and that doesn't make for nice cleavage action.

Good on you! I wish I didn't care what other people think. I'm always looking out for long tops etc. to cover my back and tummy if I bend over or reach up and if I do wear shorter tops i'm so uncomfotable trying to make sure nobody see's the hair.
Hi Girls,
Really for the most part other people are not going to notice these things you are worried about and most people have it themselves!! It is hot out there in the summer, granted my hairs are not too bad at the point in time but they are dark and would be noticable if someone was sitting there staring at me, just keep on the go go! You have one life on this earth and enjoy it don't get too down by these cosmetic things, life is too short. I know it is hard when my hair dresser told me I was loosing my hair I went nuts for the least and was refered to mental health by many doctors. But now I thought about it and realize I would have never noticed unless someone else said something. And now I am more comfortable with the excess hair and lack of hair on head and I talk about it more with other women and they usually have the same problem too, so it is not as uncommon as you think!! And like I said in my other post go buy guys clothes and excessorize them to look girly, that is what I have been doing all my life because guy clothes fit me better, because of my great body shape, yeah right! And alot of girls do it so...
I feel like I live in long pants and 3/4-length sleeves. I will sometimes wear short sleeves; but, I NEVER will do cap sleeves. I haven't worn shorts or a skirt that goes above my knees since I was in 5th grade! It really isn't that much of a problem for me. I think that I look better with less skin exposed.
I often wear "wife beaters" (the men's ribbed tank tops) underneath my shirts. They are long enough to tuck in so if my shirt comes up you don't see the skin. I don't wear them under sheer-er clothing though, because I don't want them to show through. I have some nice camis from Lane Bryant that I wear under other shirts. They have adjustable straps and can be pretty long as well.
I've heard very good things about the shirts from this company: http://www.impelshirts.com/ . They are supposed to be long and more modest. I haven't tried them though; because they aren't big enough.
I have noticed the trend of the shorter shirts and I dont like it very much. Its not the hair issue, its just the fact that they hit me at the wrong place on my body for my shape. Right at my button which is above the biggest part of my tummy so its like it accentuates the size of it! eek..

It took me a REALLY long time to get to this point but I decided that life is too short and before I know it I'll be too old to wear all the really cute tops so that I better wear them while I can. Now I just tell myself if people want to stare then let them stare. I did have one lady approach me about setting up a laser hair removal appointment but I let it go in one ear and out the other. If I could afford it I definately would but right now it's not in my budget.
girly clothes and hairiness
