I got so fed up with my hairy forearms yesterday that I used hair removing cream, they look ridiculous. I'm a school teacher and I could tell the kids were looking at me and making comments today. I'm going to have to wear long sleeves until it grows back, however long that may take. What's the solution? I don't want no hair as it looks silly on my arms. I just want to look like other women.

My self-esteem has taken a real dive since my miscarriage 2 weeks ago, I feel let down by my body and just want it to be like everyone else.

((((hugs)))) I'm sorry for your loss. And you aren't dumb, you are just trying to make yourself look "normal." I know there are women that shave or wax their arms, but I leave mine alone. Everyone has arm hair, that's what normal is. And I feel I have hair too many other places to worry about another area. I don't think there is really anything you can do about it now. It will have to just grow back in it's own time. If you are wanting a different solution, maybe you can try bleach after the hair grows back to lighten it. I hope you are feeling better soon. Best of luck.

I am very sorry for your loss.
I did the arm hair thing too...and honestly, I wasn't sure if I liked it at first, but I LOVE it so much better now. My arm hair on my forearms was thicker than my dh's and most mens AND BLACK. I too just wanted to look like "other women". Maybe it will grow on ya! Good luck!!

I don`t think you are dumb either.

just a thought, if you wanted to keep the hair but shorter, maybe the graded electric hair clippers could to the trick?? To keep them at the wanted length.

Maybe the kids were used to you just as you were, and just couldn`t work out what was different??

good luck and a big hug sent your way. So Sorry
