I'm 20 years old female..I can't describe how gross and how discusting it is to be hairy, especially I'm a girl!!...anyways, to make story short..I have hair all over my butt, crack, thighs...i also have ingrown hair and bumpy skin...I wonder if there is anything i could use to get rid of this problem? .. I used all kinds of wax, shaving, hair removal products...Nothing helped! .. It's really bad, i can't wear shorts, skirts,anything like that, and it's a huge problem for my sexlife...could anyone help??

Thanks

How bout lazer removal?
Listen I'm hairy too and I used to be so...Blah because I felt like I was so ugly just because of hair..but I've just grown to..accept me ....I know some people that WANT hair so we're lucky when you think about it. Being hairy is beautiful and natural!

babygirl, I too am a very hairy person. I am quite embarrased also because I am only 28 but I have had this problem ever since I was alittle girl and have been picked on by kids and adults alike. I tried electrolysis a few years ago and ,unless it has changed, it only made my hair grow back worse and thicker. And it was painful. I have just got to the point where I have to realize this is me but it anyone has tried the laser treatment I would like to know how it was and what the results were. Oh I also took spiro a few years ago and my hair growth decreased signifacantly. I am seriously thinking about going back on that. So that may be an option for you. Hope this helps.

From what I have heard, the laser treatment is VERY expensive and it doesn't stop the hair growth. It makes it lighter, but it will still be there.

I was really hairy at one point in my life,dark curly hair,2-3 hairs coming out of every hair follicle,waxing ,shaving,etc...nothing seemed to work for me.Then I saw a friend in yoga who always seemed to be hair free,she had the lasering done months before and voila..no hair.Anyway ,I had it done quite awhile ago and no hair has come back.I did have to go 3 times for it to work,my hair was VERY coarse and strong,and in reply to the last poster ,it can be expensive.If you do your homework on lasering you will find it works best on lighter skinned(olive,etc..),dark haired individuals and I'm sure there are better lasers now than a year or so ago.Even though it was expensive(about $3000Canadian,entire legs ,bikini line,toes .... 3 times each),I have not had to deal with a razor for a long time and even if i have to get a touch up....which from the looks of things won't be for a long time,it was the best thing I could have done for myself.When I think about how much time I wasted shaving ,waxing,scrubbing buffing,tweezing,and squeezing and the scars...and all the money I spent on products....and the fact that time is money.......and much much more .How could I not afford to get this done ???Now when my boyfriend .wants to go to the beach,I just put on a bikini and go....when I decide what to wear for the day I never think "will my legs look alright ?" That is priceless!!!Good luck in your quest for hairlessness!!!!!
