Did they all have A DISEASE???? (( NO )) and it’s not a medical condition that happens! It’s you becoming a woman!! A razor company that started woman shaving and the guy that made up the ad got a big promotion and now they are starting to get men to shave all over I know you have seen this. I could not wait to be a man I don’t want to go back to a boy. I looked for a hirsutism woman for over 15 years with no luck and I have a lets just say non hirsutism wife and she has not shaved in the last 9 years for me. Don’t give up just keep looking there are men who like hirsutism woman. When I see a woman without hair all I can think of is she needs a dipper and put her down for a nap!!!

I know other women are hurting from this same problem as I am, but I'm still ashamed to talk about it. I didn't realize how bad it was til highschool. It first started with my upper lip, and then that entire area under my chin and above my neck.... At first I was a tad bit lucky because it came out blonde, but then they mutated into thick, black, prickly demons. It really hit me that I needed to take some action when my nephew told me I needed to shave... I felt so embarrassed. Then 5th graders I was tutoring would say something about it... It was horrible. Absolutely horrible, because you know when children are bluntly telling you, then everyone else sees it but just aren't as blunt. I used creams and wax, both worked, but had side-effects (bumps, rash, acne, swollen areas). I remember the first time I waxed all the hair, and in that instant i felt like all my prayers were answered. And of course, for all you women out there who deal with this same problem, the problem was not solved. Now I'm almost 20 yrs old and the hair has become a problem on the sides of my face, upper lip, chin, below my chin, on my chest, breast, stomach, and the lower part of my back. I shave my arms, and I have a magnified mirror and tweezers with a LED light, from AVON, that I use to pluck my chin, upper lip, and under chin. But for the rest of my problem areas i bought the new product "Smooth Away" and it works great for my face, under my chin, lower back, and my chest. It takes less than a minute to remove the hair. I dont think it actually removes all of the hair, but it makes it way less visible (and very smooth). Read the instructions on how to use it, some women don't use it right and it doesn't work. Rub 3 ways clockwise, then 3 counter-clockwise. I honestly dont know what my problem is. I went to my Gyno Dyno and he told me I more than likely have PMDD, because of my cramps and irregularity. But hairiness isn't a symptom of PMDD, but my blood tests came out normal... So, I'm not sure if I have PCOS. All i know is I'm really really really hairy. I have a great man in my life. He tells me I'm the most beautiful person he's ever seen. Of course, that may be a little far-fetched and love has a way of making you see through rose colored glasses, but he really feels this way about me. This problem has put a damper on things, considering I wont let him touch my face. Sometime when he caresses my body, he'll run his fingers along my lower back and my chest (sometimes it feels like he's playing with the hairs. ewww..), and i'll feel really uncomfortable, but he's never freaked out or even mentioned the hair once. So, i've calmed down with being to harsh on myself, but I still know it's a problem. After reading this post, I feel not as lonely.
