Default What's best for nipple hairs?

Hey cysters,

I've just realised how lucky I am being fair. I have a a few slightly darker upper lip hairs but mostly they are blonde ..... that is blonde, everywhere but my nipples and belly button snail trail.

What have people found the best treatment is for nipple hair?? Have people tried Epilady's? I've heard about a coil thing that rips them out by the root and then there's the electrolysis thing you can buy for home.

What have people found works best as I don't wanna have to buy both. Gee this PCOS is an expensive business.

Thanks again
Dayna

Unfortunately, there are more than a few so I'd rather try and take the root and all. I have plucked them in the past but they grow back coarser and I was hoping for a revolution? I thought there might be something on the US market that we don't have in Australia. I've never tried epiladies or any of those sorta things and wanted to get something that works. Thanks anyway ktlynn.

Yeah, I only have a few, so for now that works for me. But I've noticed a few more sprouting up (oh joy) so I'll be interested to see if anyone else has a better suggestion.

I once thought using Nair was a good idea.
I didn't put it directly on my nipple but around them but where ever it slightly overlapped it dried my nipple out and made it bleed. I learned that this was a very bad idea and decided to never do it again.
So like most others I pluck and pluck and pluck and when I am finished I always find more hair to pluck.

I get the nipple hairs also. I just pull them out when i am in the shower. Nothing else sounds like it would feel to good. Eventhough that doesnt either

I use wax ... strip wax that you don't need to heat. I use the mini ones that are meant for eyebrows. Works pretty well.

I've tried just about every hair removal method known to man and I'd recommend waxing if you want to take it by the root. The thing about nipple hair is that you can at least allow it to grow longer than, say, facial hair, making waxing a viable option. Personnaly, I just shave it. I've found that as the hairyness progresses (and it does progress ), it grows back faster and faster. I've actually waxed and had regrowth within 3 days.

I would NOT recommend the epilady-it's horrible!!!! It's like slow-motion waxing.

Hope this helps.

I'm contemplating electroysis there It's only about 10 big dark hairs on each.


It isn't the pain that worries me- its the idea of the tech manhandling my breasts!
