ClazUK Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Blame the thread on Joe/BoosBoss cos he reminded me..... I had a depressing realisation the other day that I spend aaaages plucking eyebrows and waxing moustache and shaving legs and underarms and sculpting lady garden . And I wondered if I was normal, obsessed or just very hairy And I was wondering if anyone here could share their experiences of more permanent methods of getting rid of unwanted hair (I'm thinking lazer but I might be behind the times). Yours hirsutely........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobean Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Joe I'm disappointed. I thought you would have all the answers given your experience of the laydees and their gardens. Erm I think you're normal Claire. In fact you're doing well if your not mentioning hairs elsewhere. Not that I have any of those either you understand but I have noticed other personages what have an abundance of other fluffy stuff. I pluck my moustachio hairs out.

Kathyw Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 As I have baby fine hair all over - not just on my head - this has never been a problem for me and while I bemoan my fine hair, I am grateful when I read things like this. I only have my eyebrows plucked - not neccessary elsewhere. Yours quite baldy from Islington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClazUK Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Thank you Michelle. I forgot to mention the beard, nasal and ear hair Kathy, I hate you - I am thinking of joining the circus I have so much Edited July 30, 2008 by ClazUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 A large magnifying mirror (horrifying experience!) and tweezers here. I know on that programme Embarrassing Illnesses, there was a woman who really was hairy, poor soul...they sent her for laser treatment and it got rid of all of it. They said it works best on dark, strong hair rather than fair fine, and it may need more than one treatment to get rid of it all but once gone, its gone for good. It was exxpensive..but maybe in the long run it would pay for itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elefan Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Eyebrows OK Leg hair doesn't grow anymore after waxing for donkey's years Shave armpits But face - Thanks to the menopuase, I started to sprout a beard, tache and a hairy neck I got so miserable plucking that I eventually tried electrolysis and it's the bestest thing I've done. It's taken a while to kill off the horrid, black bristles but after 18 months I'm now down to maintenance visits every 6 weeks. Lady garden is redundant so don't bother with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melp Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Eyebrows-pluck Armpits-shave Legs-shave Lady lawn-shave. After rather hideous experiments with wax, veet and plucking I resorted to razors again. Did buy one of those Phillips toot hair removal jobbies but don't like it. The epilator rips the hairs out by the roots and bluddy hurts, the trimmer bits aren't robust enough and don't give a smooth enough finish. My legs and pits aren't very hairy so don't need doing that often but my toot is like the Amazon rain forest, hair grows like crazy there including up my bum crack I'd like laser treatment but worry that the hair will eventually stop growing and I'll be a bald chuffed pensioner. Getting older I have noticed nasal hair needs plucking more [ouch] and a mole on my neck sprouts a couple of thick black hairs too, which get plucked.

cycas Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'd like laser treatment but worry that the hair will eventually stop growing and I'll be a bald chuffed pensioner. Not to worry you , but that could happen anyway. My gran went bald as a coot down there in old age... Still, think of the savings on razorblades! I am hairy and I don't care. Well OK, I do shave my armpits because otherwise they prickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spins4me Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Lists of menopause symptoms don't mention the lessening of hair in one's intimate regions but the growing of extra bristles in the facial area. One day it feels like a tiny bristle or two on the cheek, chin or lip and the next day it's run away to join the circus time. The only answer is eternal vigilance backed up by a magnifying mirror and extra strong tweezers. As for hairy parts of a more intimate nature - what can I say? Fast disappearing!!

celeste Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'm not hairy at all, well theres some hair but I've never needed to shave me chuffster , although I'm informed that my friends is so hairy it grows down the inside of her thigh , and she has hairy toes..........freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Please tell me you are referring to your eyebrows here. Mostly eyebrows, but stray bristles on the chin too no way would I be attacking my lady bits with tweezers! My friend who is a year younger than me says her lady garden is now a desert...it all fell out. My OH says oh good he's looking forward to that happening I know its good to be able to talk about things to your relatives, but knowing your Gran is bald down there..isn't that a bit too much information?

Jacobean Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Forgot to say I think. Shave my pits and legs with a razor blade. Shave my lady garden with an electric razor and scissors. Rather liking the thought that I won't need to worry about this in old age, especially as my eyesight is likely to get a lot worse. I'm fair skinned with black hairs.

ranirottie Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I tried an epilator on my legs but it didnt do a very good job. So I shave armpits and legs. Eyebrows resemble slugs but who cares! Lady garden just sprouts a few weeds here and there but no mowing necessary. I am an old lady who rarely dresses up so I dont feel the need to be pruned and mowed very often. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
