Default longer spreading hair down there?

sorry if this question is too personal but was wondering does anyone else have longer spreading hair down there? My male type hair growth has been face and beggining to change on chest & stomach...but have noticed longer hair under tummy button and down there... just done first bikini creme looked like I was getting more outside pantyline than inside and some very long I`d say double what it used to be.......with courser hair on top inner thighs is this common with pcos?

I'm not sure how common it is, as I can only speak for me. I have no problems with hair on my face, but the hair down there has pretty much doubled. I have a line of hairs leading down from my belly button and more and more long dark hairs on what can only be called upper inner thigh (as opposed to bikini area).

So, you are not the only one.

I think it's pretty common among us. My doctor said that I have hirsutism without even looking for facial hair. All of that body hair makes a person feel less feminine. I hate it.

I totally agree with Sheri. I have hair all over and it's the worst!

I have always had sooo much pubic hair!! I have what I refer to as "the never ending bush". It has always grown outside my panty line. I shave sometimes,but I hate the bumps. I also have hair on my belly and a few that grow out of my nipple. My husband jokes about the nipple hair and says, thanks for the floss!

Instead of a happy trail, I have a happy four lane highway. And the hair is long and course. I shave it sometimes, but I always have stubble and you can see the dark hair under the skin. I also have very long pubic hair and on my bikini area. Yuck.

I know it sounds gross...but I had an idea the other day in the bath...the longest hairs around bikini area are easier to see when in the bath, I saw a couple the other day really long ones and I thought I didn`t have any that long...so I`m going to trim in the bath, because the longest ones show up then because they uncurl in the water. That`s if you don`t do a total removal already. Just thought I`d share....ahhhh!!! this whole hair thing is horrible..gives a whole new meaning to bad hair days.

Question waxing anyone??

just wondering if anyone has found a realy good wax that doesn't leave more hair than it takes off? This is soooo frustrating! I've tried Sally Hansen wax strips & Nads, but they seem to leave a lot of hair behind! Any suggestions??

I use a good ole razor and skintimate shaving gel. Before you start shaving it, use clippers to get the really long stuff off. Then soak in a tub of really warm water for a few minutes. This will help to loosen the hair. I shave with the growth of the hair. Never shave against it. That is what leaves the red bumps. I shave down there whenever I shave my legs. Usually 3 times a week. I feel so much cleaner not having it there. And hubby doesn't mind it either.

Just a tip I learned and use myself, alpha-hydroxy lotion applied after you shave will eliminate the red bumps an ingrown hairs!

I'm with Patty - I shave and use skintimate, plus I use my DH's mustouche (sp?) trimmer inbetween. It keeps it short.

As for hair everywhere? Yup!
