Hair removal on chest/stomach

unknown08 · 10-08-2009, 07:01 AM

Hi everyone

I feel a little bad asking this coz I know lots of other people have much bigger problems with hair than I do but the extra hair I do have is making me a bit self conscious.

I have had quite a bit of extra blonde (fine) hair grow on my chest and stomach in the last 6 months and slightly darker hair down my stomach line. I'm thinking it wouldn't be too noticeable to other people but I know it's there and thats what's annoying!

I have noticed that this hair growth has really slowed/stopped (touch wood) since starting on BCP and am wondering - if I use a hair removal cream like Veet do you think the hair will grow back sharp and stubbly? I don't want to shave and would rather not wax but I thought if the hair growth has slowed/stopped then it might hardly grow back..I just don't want it stubbly.

Has anyone had any experience with hair removal creams especially on quite fine hair?

Thanks

No, hair removal creams won't cause stubbly regrowth. However it would be a good idea to be careful using depilatory creams around your breasts if the skin there is in any way sensitive.

The BCP will cause a reduction that is likely to stay as long as you're on the BCP.
