I’m 2/3 of the way through laser hair removal on my back and shoulders. I can see a definite reduction in volume and coarseness. Not as much as I’d like to see but I do have two more treatments. The FDA has approved laser hair removal to be advertised as “80% effective” but my people say they routinely see better results, up to 100%. I’d like to have some more done on my upper arms but since I had to replace my car after a recent crash I am not going to have a lot of spare cash for the next three years. As to the OP, I do hate the hair on my back but couldn’t really care less about any other of my body hair.
Plenty of interesting replys thanks.
I too had heard that electrolysis was the most permanent solution. But arround here in Silly Koan Valley there seems to only be laser hair removal.
I am starting to wonder if people who don’t like their body hair correlates to having black/dark hair colour? I sertainly am ver dark haired. Maybe dark hair looks more like dirt on the skin.

I inherited my dad’s hairiness – no, I’m NOT all THAT hairy, but for a woman, I’m on the hairy side. And it’s all dark hair, so it’s very very visible. It doesn’t look like dirt, but for some mysterious reason leg hair on women is unacceptable in this country.
Note to men: YOUR leg hair is not particularly attractive, it’s just there. Why shouldn’t ours be?
For the same reson boobs aren’t attractive on men.
I’m just confused by the perfect swirl of chest hair I have.
All of the REST (trust me I’ve got lots) of the chest hair goes every which way. Except one little perfect swirly patch.
Start a rebellion. Don’t shave.
When it’s short sleeve weather, I have my arms waxed. I have dark hair, and it’s really long on my arms. I am very self-conscious of it, even tho friends and family say they don’t notice it.
I also have a monobrow if not attended to regularly and ahem a little shadow above my lip.
OK, after reading this post I guess I am very hairy!!
I didn’t during the winter, Otto until I started dating my ex, and when I ran the idea of an unshaven me past him his reaction was horror. It’s not really that big a deal to shave. I’m just mystified as to why. Shaving armpits is at least somewhat justifiable on hygiene grounds.
Annoyingly, I’m now in the habit, so I do it once or twice a week, even though the man in question is history.
A lot of the hair I have is in all the wrong places. Trying to grow a beard is a joke; odd patches crop up in random parts of my face, mostly on the right side so at the very best it looks like I’m pathetically trying to grow a beard.
The hair that grows out of my armpits is straighter, shinier, and smoother than the hair that grows out of my head. I feel nature played a cruel joke on me. The only hair on my chest grows around my nipples which is hideous looking in my opinion but I’m too squeamish to shave/wax/whatever it in such a sensitive area.
(TMI)I am cursed with prodigious coarse locks which seemingly sprout out of my ass. The hair makes it hard to do a thorough job of wiping after going to the bathroom- a lot of the hair gets painfully torn loose in the attempt to remove the offending fecal matter. Its an extremely embarassing problem that there seems to be no easy solution for- the skin in that area is pretty delicate and I couldn’t think of any way of getting rid of the hair without making it hurt when I sit down :eek:
