Hi all,

I'd like to talk about a topic that pisses me off. Body hair.

I seem to have high testosterone levels. I'm hairy as a monkey. Okay, not really a monkey. But I'm really very hairy for a woman. In my natural state I don't have hair only on my calves like others, no I have it all over my legs, on my butt, on my belly, on the back of my neck and even a little bit on my breasts!

Of course I don't let it there, I shave/depilate my entire body. But it's so much work, and I haven't found any really good method.

I'm allergic to depilating creams. Depilating with wax is a hassle, and it hurts like HELL, and the hair grows back under the skin. Plus, the hair needs to be quite long, or else it doesn't work very well, and what do I do in the meantime? As for shaving, the hair grows back immediately so I have to shave it every day, or else I end up with a beard in all kinds of inappropriate places. Plus it itches like crazy when it grows back.

Both methods irritate my skin, and take a lof of time. I'm SO fed up with this permanent war against the hair! It's such a stupid waste of time!!

But of course I won't let the hair on my body. I know it's just social conditioning, but I would definitely find it very humiliating.

I thought I'd ask you smart people for advice. Have some of you found a really good method to get rid of body hair?? Do you happen to know a healthy and effective way to get rid of it forever?
