Ugh, I'm really hairy, too. I have it on my stomach, back, bikini line, inner thighs near bikini line, butt, butt crack.. lol I think I have hair everywhere except for the palms of my hands and the soles of my feet. I am so embarassed by this problem and I spend way too much shaving/waxing/plucking.. etc!!! It sucks. I am on birth control.. don't bother w/ that b/c it makes no difference..

I need more info on dianette. It's just a pill and it makes u less hairy?

I am 18. I have no money for electrolysis or laser hair removal. I need something cheaper.. help!!!

My body hair is in no way as bad as some posters describe their hair problem, but i have had electrolysis and if the person doing the procedure know what they are doing it is 100% successful. I know for a fact b/c i'm one happy customer. However, i have have had electrolysis done many years ago and it made no difference, but that was b/c the person doing it wasn't doing it right. Your best option is to trust word of mouth.

Hey there..
Well, I don't know about body hair but for any female that is out there with facial hair ....
I have a cream prescribed to me from my doctor, it is calle Vaniqa. You apply twice a day and it is suppose to reduce your facial hair. Only problem is that insurance doesn't pay for it.
I recently went back to my doctor for other reasons and she told me she wanted to try me on a pill to reduce facial hair. Insurance does pay for this.
It is called Spironolactone and it is actually a water/blood pressure pill but is known to reduce female facial hair.
I've only been a week that I hae been on it. You do have to drink plenty of fluid and make sure your potasium is ok. If you drink Orange juice and eat a bananna it will help. It will make you pee alot too!
Any one else out there that has used this pill????
Let us know..
Thanks!
