sorry wrong post
Probably you'd just have to shave more frequently.Originally Posted by BeeyondUnknown
Actually, I think it's probably easier shaving every day than shaving every few days. Away back when I was in my early teens and first started shaving my moustache at 13 I had to face the question every day "Do I need to shave my moustache today?"-- and it hurt me every time I had to think about it and I felt real bad, that I had to shave my moustache like a guy (though of course very few of the boys I knew were actually shaving at that age). By the time I was 15 my moustache was growing so coarse and so fast that I was having to shave every day and it just became part of my routine and I didn't have to think about it any more. Of course I knew about it and of course if I actually thought about it, it hurt me to think that I had moustache growth heavier even than most of the boys my age and I certainly didn't want to be masculine and I reckoned no boy could ever fancy a girl who could grow a moustache, but the thing is that I didn't have to think about it every day. And I think the fact that DH and I both shave together in the morning makes it a lot easier for me, for DH and indeed for our kids -- we all recognize it as part of everyday reality, rather than an odd event every few days.
I'm so afraid of shaving because my hair is so coarse and stubborn as it is. Right now I try to get by with facial nair 2x weekly and painful plucking in between. But *nothing* gets rid of the shadow on my upper lip. It's so embarrassing walking around and seeing people look at my "mustache".
I have severe facial hair but have never tried waxing. I don't think I could ever let it grow that long that waxing would be benificial. I too have to shave everyday. I have been using vaniqa since september and although my facial hair is still really bad it has improved. You can imagine the severity of the problem. I use a four blade razor and it works pretty good. I probably could stand to shave twice a day but my face is irritated like yours and would be pain if I tried later in the day. Isn't it funny how we can get hair to grow everywhere but where we actually need it or want it?

You know, I'm kinda glad that there is this thread. My PCOS symptoms have been getting much worse and since my skin is dark I've been scarring a lot. I used to be a tweezer and it would take me and hour or so just to do my chin, but I switched to a Remmington Epilator. It was AMAZING the first couple times, but now I rub my chin and jaw and it's just peppered with stubble and bumps...which leads me to believe that it's not really plucking but tearing the hair off on the suface.
Before that, what I found worked great in the managment of hair was nair one week, tweezing the other and shaving in between. I'm hoping that I can hormonally control the symptoms.
Sexyswamprat, I hear you. Need the hair for my head, can't have it. DON'T need it on my face and it's just growing away!

I am sooooooooo with you on this one. I used to shave only my neck because of my beard, but now I have to start shaving the sides of my moustache that I just developed in the last months. Shaving is not close enough for me and I now started cutting my face.
My hair is falling out on the top of the head and I have a bald spot that I try to hide as much as possible.
I thought about shaving my head in the summer and letting it grow back, but doubt that would work.
I'm flat-chested (which I don't know if that's part of this god-forsaken condition, but at this point....I feel like shaving my head....growing my goatee and calling myself Bob.
My doctor said electroalysis (SP) is the only option. She said start saving!

I know this isn't funny, but for some reason this made me chuckle. I can just imagine shelling money for a doctor's visit, only to be told, 'ya got one option lady, start saving!'
Dammed when we do, and dammed when we don't. What a life, eh. Here's some good vibes your way.

I've been shaving my moustache since I was 13 -- a nd every day since I was 15. And though I developed big nipples, my breasts didn't develop.
I've found it easiest just to accept that I have male-pattern hair growth and I use a men's-type electric razor which doesn't damage my skin at all.
When I was in my late teens I could easily have passed for a boy -- but what would have been the use, because without a penis I could never function as a boy and I had all the functional equipment of a woman. I've been able to have children, so no-one can legitimately question that I'm a woman -- it just so happens that I'm a woman who happens to have male-pattern hair growth.
