After inspecting my thumbs I have to say that I have 2 light blond hairs on my right thumb, and 1 light blond hair on my left thumb. The rest of my fingers have way more hair, but not "furry". Never would have thought to look before.
Interesting.

LMAO!!!
I'm the same as most of you (have hair on all my fingers, but not my thumbs).
I know they say that with the exception of lips and fingertips, you have a very fine layer of hair all over your body but I never thought that it applied to thumbs too.
I've been experiencing the same thing too, DigitalAngel. I am now started to get sparse blonde hairs on the undersides of my forearms.
About my thumbs: well, the hair on them is so faint that I can hardly see it or feel it. I wish it was like that everywhere else! It is only on the first part of my thumbs--the part closest to the hand. No hair grows on the part with my thumbnail.
I will admit that yes, I shave the tops of my feet and all my toes! I don't do this every single day yet though because the hair growth hasn't gotten that bad there. I also have more important areas to worry about than my toes! Sometimes I feel like an explorer in the middle of the Amazon with a machete. I'm not sure how to spell machete, but I think machete is right. Can you tell I like the word MACHETE? I can use up a razor a day, believe it or not! I shave my legs, bikini line when I go swimming, my feet, underarms, and around my belly button in case it accidently shows if my jeans begin to sag or my top begins to rise. Arghhhh, I hate being a woman in a hairy ape suit!!!!
I also pluck like a madman! I pluck my chin, sideburn area, chest, shoulders, and if I can reach it, I'll pluck the odd hair on my back. Is this normal for PCOS?
On my left thumb, there is 2 hairs there..on my right, there is about 10...all blonde and barely noticable.
I do have hair on the rest of my fingers too
I think i need to take a bath in nair.

If only the rest of my body could be like my hands - there's no hair there!

I have hair on my thumbs. I also have hair on my fingers, lower portion and upper...except no hair on the upper portion of my pointing finger!!! How funny!!! I do shave the tops of my hands (along with my arms). I have not shaved my fingers yet...but that will probably come one day! LOL Some days I just gotta laugh it's so bad!!!
