Spearmint tea -- A possible treatment for hairy women

Im 15 and Ive always been pretty hairy. My dad is also really hairy but my mom isnt My brother and I always joke about how i got the bad(hairy) genes. HAHA not really...I got hair on most of my body and ive been teased about it all my life. Im a girl so its pretty embarrasing having hair on my breasts, tummy and face. People dont really understand there always like why dont you shave? But if i shave hair gets thicker and i dont wanna walk around looking even more like a man around my face. It always brings me down because i see all these other beautiul HAIRLESS women walking around and im like why cant i be like them? Its pretty sad when you got more facial hair than your boyriend you know? It gets really hard to love yourself when you cant relax because your always worryin about what people see and soon enough you see yourself through their eyes and isnt self loathing just great? And dont let me get started with the creeps who actually LIKE hairy women LOL Im always getting hit on my those weirdos :( Anywo thats my life story. Cross your fingers and pray this works for me.

sorry i 'm going through the same thing the one thing i've tried its a middle eastern technique called aqueeda. you buy it usually at the middle eastern stores its cold wax.
or you can go do threading on your face.i usually do that weekly expensive but worth it

I feel you women. I'm on eo fthree girls in my fam and am the ONLY hairy one. My mums super hair-free and so are both my sisters. They wax like, what, once in 6 months !?
I, on the other hand, am 21, and I've ALWAYS bin hairy. I've got em on my stomach, chest, arms, legs and worst of all, MY FACE. Just today, at work, a girl working beside me asked me 'Whats That on your face? Looks like a blood clot.' Thanks, bud.

I dont mind the arm and leg hair coz theres Nair, Sally Hanson etc.

But my face!! I've got to wax ALL of my face every s-i-n-g-l-e week. My cheeks, side locks, jaw line, chin, neck, upper lip - everything.. Yes, I am Hairy Scary.
Thats what I should have dressed up as for halloween, Just go as myself and hah! the fright factor would have been taken care off. Maybe I could just join a circus as beard lady or something. sigh.

i totally agree! :(
my now ex is getting so mad at me for now doing stuff with him but i just can't :( its so depressing. i hide my hands all the time. i shave/wax my toes and arms. i dont want to start waxing everything else though. don't jump out your window you silly goose! i know it sucks. it sucks sososososos bad. it makes me want to cry all the time. but its still not worth killing yourself over. i found out last night that my ex was hooking up with a really hot chick while i was supposed ot be seeing him. pretty sure i can relate.
:((:(:(

Wow, I've been extremely touched by all these comments, because I thought I was going through this alone...

As most of you have mentioned, I too am effected by this "so called" problem. It didn't really get to me until when it was my first year in high school when one guy said to his mates "ohh, look we've got a man in the room!" because of how I've got arm hairs. That really sucked... literally sucked. --before that, I was known as "Moustachie Girl". WTF?--
It feels like I was been skin carved alive. As much as i'm trying to be a better person, the pain is still there, worsening everyday. Sometimes I think why am I even here? I am such a freak! It's really hard to not let it bring me down or let it go because like I said, it worsens and I get depressed.
People say that I'm a pretty face but I don't believe them.
I talk about it with my mom and she says that it's "sexy"? But I don't believe her {I do try to}.
I always wear clothes to cover up my arms and legs because I can't bear to think what others would say or see.
I'm 16 and it's hard for me to get a boyfriend. I feel left out because I'm like the only one {and being the only child} out of the girls in the family that's hairy. I just want to feel free from all of this.
I hate it. I hate always feeling so low and shitty. I guess all I have to do is go see a doctor or something. And plus, those hair removal products, I'm just sick of it all.
I was once told, if the first product convinces us it works; then why are they making another different one?
idk...

I hope we all find what we are looking for ...
God bless us all ;x

Sometimes I try and make myself feel better by acting like my hair is all in my head, but then I look in the mirror and it is still there. It makes me feel like the ugliest person in the world, it makes me feel unworthy of being loved by anyone. I dream of being hairless running freely and confidently in a bikini. Sometimes I think it is only a matter of time. It haunts me all the time. I get my legs waxed and I look down to find there is still hair on my legs. It won't go away. It has stopped me on numerous occasions from enjoying myself because I thought I was unfit, too ugly, too hairy. My sisters are hairless, but something went wrong with me, I have acne, stretch marks, and hair, I am ugly. No man will ever look at me, find me interesting, or love me. I wish I were not me, I wish I were normal. I often find myself crying about my body hair. In most cases, body weight can be controlled, but in some cases, as with mine, body hair seems almost unmanageable. I wish and pray it will dissapear, but I know it won't.

Hi everyone, I'm a very attractive 48 year old male in the Washington DC area, and I just want to let you know that there are those of us who actually prefer women with bodyhair! My first wife was quite hairy, and once I'd seen and felt her furry body which she wouldn't shave at all in the wintertime, and experienced the natural female scents that it trapped, it was quite difficult for me to accept women without a good bit of bodyhair! While I hate the sensation of cold weather, the fact that my wife would grow all of her "fur" out all over her body during this time was something to look froward to.

There are actually erotic adult websites that cater to this preference as well.

I do understand the issues of all who want to try to conform to the "norms'" that modern society has adopted, but keep in mind that corporations are trying to tell you that if you don't look (or smell) a certain way, you need to be "improved" by buying their product! There are those of us who would pass by the non-hairy women were we to know of the treasures you are hiding!

If you find this appealing and would like to share, I'm at dms19612@aol.com

I feel so sorry reading all your stories because people who don’t have this or make fun of it don’t realize how awful it is. It’s the normal things you miss out on. How much I would love to be able to wear my hair in a ponytail on a hot day, never mind wearing a two piece bathing suit! I am 24 and only recently have begun to try to fix it. I saw an endocrinologist who prescribed spironolact. Can’t tell if it’s started working yet but I think it’s helped my acne. I suggest looking at message boards where others tell their experiences about spironolact. It looks like a lot of you are too young to start taking this kind of medicine but you should definitely see a doctor to see what they say. Don’t wait until you are in your twenties or later. You can get tested to see if you have a hormonal imbalance, but you can have a lot of hair and your hormone levels can be normal. Hopefully you will find a doctor that is sympathetic. I was so embarrassed by the thought of telling someone else I thought I was going to throw up the day of my appointment. I was sitting there crying and my doctor didn’t even offer me a kind word or a tissue but I don’t care as long as the medicine works. I know doctors deal with much worse diseases but it doesn’t mean we should just be dismissed. I just wished I had seen my doctor earlier, like when I was 18. I also found a doctor that does laser hair removal and she is so nice that I am comfortable with her. I thought about getting laser hair removal for a while but was too embarrassed (and b/c of the high cost) but now I am spending the money because it’s worth it. Don’t be too embarrassed to see a doctor, for the 10-20 minutes you have to talk about it, it’ll be worth it if they are able to help you. And if the first one you see is an insensitive jerk, go find another one because there are medicines that can help.

Dear FriendI

Its good to see that you blieve in God and are still behaving in a confident manner with your friends.But please get an ultrasound done.You are suffering from PCOD (pOLY CYSTIC oVARIAN SYNDROME)sEE YOUR gYNAECOLOGIST will give you medication.Your symptoms will be relieved.Please remember God helps those who help themselves.

Regards

I was crying after reading all of your replies.

I have the same problem, I know it's probably not as bad, but still every day when I wake up and get into the bath it's all I think about.
I wear long sleeved tops, trousers and trainers all the damn time. I usualy wear gloves aswell.
I had a boyfriend a couple of years back, and he told me I was beautiful and I shouldn't worry about it. And he would do his best to show me he didnt care about it. [I dont like sayingit but im refering to the areas of hair aka EVERYWHERE]

But some guy I had never met said to me in a shop "Wow..Your so hairy"
...
I was like "..Thanks.."

So I thought if a total stranger, can judge me like that..Why the hell should I bother trying to love myself.

I've never shaved my arms or face/back etc cause I was told it would make them worse, but when I bleach the hair I feel so relieved..Untill I have to do it again..and again...

What annoys me is that If I didn't have the hair, I would think I was really nice looking, I just cant grasp the feeling of being pretty. Guess I never will.

But reading that there are others like me, made it easyer, cause I dont think theres anything wrong with it, its just when some ass puts me down I will be down for ages. But I have a boyfriend now and he's also said he doesnt mind, and that he thinks I am very pretty. So I will just listen to him, and not what anyone else says.

I am so glad I found this site. You all rule. ^_^

When I was 19 I noticed one long strand of hair growing on my jaw line and didn't think much of it I plucked it out and went about my business.Then all of a sudden a good six months later I noticed my peach fuzz (that never really got my attention because you could hardly see it) began to get a little bit darker.I must admit I was alarmed at this sudden change especially as I quickly took a little flashback to the past in my mind remembering that 1 sudden long strand of hair that appeared out of now where 6 months before.I tried not to worry hoping by some miracle it would all go away and I could feel normal again.However as months went by I noticed the hairs got darker and thicker and then I noticed hair on my chest and lower abdomen;I sat there in shock beyond crying I felt so disgusting and ugly in a matter of seconds. My life changed that day and my self esteem took a downward spiral and has ever since.My life is consumed now with plucking,waxing,hair removal creme and threading. The worst is right now that budgeting is a must I cannot always take care of this problem and I will literally lock myself up at home until I can run to the store or nearest salon to have the hair removed, I've missed doctor appointments,dates,social events,weddings,you name it I won't go anywhere if the hair problem is out of control.And I'm not superficial but when you're trying your best to hold a regular conversation and all people can see is the hair on your face or even look at you in disgust well it takes a huge toll on how you feel on the inside.I've hid in the bathroom and cried just wishing this problem would go away.When I'm "all cleaned up" people talk to me and look at my eyes instead of my chin, guys will notice me and I'm so much more confident but unfortunately I don't always get to experience this...and it truly does hurt. I know there are people that go through much worse with horrible,painful diseases and disabilities who have overcome much greater obstacles;but I just can't deny how this situation has effected my life. I would be lying if I said it didn't.

your story sounds like mine.
i was also sixteen and had not gotten my first period.
i went to an obgyn, and she did not do an exam.
she just ran several blood tests and did an ultrasound of my ovaries.
the ultrasound was the worst part of it all because i had to drink a ton of water and it was uncomfortable, as you can imagine, with the ultrasound probe pushing my bladder.

but the result of the tests confirmed that i had something called polycistic ovarian syndrome. which isn't a bad thing, if you're treating yourself. i take two medications called actos and glucophage. and i'm also on birth control to regulate my periods now. my hormone levels went back to normal and i lost a lot of weight.

find time to talk to your mom, please. for it could really change your life and boost your confidence (: i'll pray for you.

I know how you feel. It is paralysing. I Have to shave my neck and pretty much my whole body everyday, I used to really worry what others think and then I had to make myself come out and now I am learning to deal. The worst part for me is the self hate. I have to learn to accept myself and get help. I;m currently seeking a dr. that I can trust and talk about my issues. It is very important that you get it out. It will drive you down.
I have a two year old with an X. Now I am inlove with someone who excepts me for who I am. I am me. Good luck to you and know that once you start letting it out it will feel better.

i shaved my back like 7xs cause it was hairy and i wanna know if it will still work if i drink the speartmint tea?

of course i think that god will answer that prayer, but you have to have a very strong faith. btw, i have prayed for my problem to be cured. I know that it wont be sudden, and he may or may not "cure" me from this, but so far he has cured me, by giving meaning to my life. and yes, YOU and I and all the ohter girls and women with this same problem can live a NORMAL LIFE. Let's let the comments that people tell us just slide off, thats what i do. I give them a smile, and they usually recognize that what they said was innapropriate. I have learned that forgiving and forgetting is very good for the soul....I try to look at all the blessings that God has given me and i always end up amazed at how blessed i am. I can see, hear, wallk, talk, sense, jump,laugh, think, love, etc. I recommend that you or anyone with any problem to make a list of all the things you are thankful for and that you are able to do and compare it with a list of your setbacks, and i assure you that you will have more positive things than negative ones. We are so lucky to have been born with two legs, arms, eyes, a nose...There are so many people that would love to be in our position. Our setback is hair, and yes it is very tough and we are reminded of this issue everyday, but there has been no real quickfix, so, i try to camouflage what i can and i keep on keeping. Get close to our God that loves us and will not let us fall and your life will have a lot of prosperity.

I have all the same symptoms you have.What caught my attention to your post was that you said you have a deep voice. i do too. i have been reading these posts for about an hour now and you are the only one that mentioned it. I havent' done anything about my problem.
I had laser done once. i think it sorta helped. But i couldnt afford getting it done again. im 19, and my problem started when i was in 7th grade, i think. The deep voice, the thick hair (never had a period either)does bother me, a lot i might add, but i have faith that i can live a happy and "normal" life. I am in college and leaving home was very hard, since i didnt have my parents motivation to keep me going. I have found one of the best cures of all, GOD. I have found a great sense of releif ever since i went on a retreat last year. Pray and talk to him and he will work wonders in your life. I am a very happy, joyful, giggly person because i have faith in god. I am a very strong person, and this is because of my hair problem. It has humbled me and although i would rather be "normal" , i am thankful that i do have hair because it has made me become a person with a very loving and compassionate heart....My life i would describe as sheltered, because i have never had a boyfriend, but i do go out, i have great friends and a wonderful family. i am intelligent, i dont let my deep voice, or body hair hold me back on getting an education, asking questions, and doing presentations is tough, but you know what, being embarassed is not gonna get through my college education. ...I do party, but i shave and try to wear clothing that is not too revealing. I think about my problem a lot, but sometimes i forget about it and just live and enjoy life. Although i do get very emotional at times, i dont worry because i know that our Lord died on the cross for us and he loves each and every one of us UNCONDITIONALLY.
Jesus Christ has been the best "medicine"/healing i have had and i just want you and all the other girls with this same problem to take advantage of it, because it has made my life soo much better. PLEASE, I URGE YOU, if you havent already, to give it a try. You wont lose anything, its free and I gaurantee you that if you put all your faith in Him, you will feel much better, I have and I feel great. You should also try listening to Ginny Owens-If you want me to. Or Hillsong United. The songs are great for healing.

I just read your blogs. I feel bad for all of you. I believe I have an answer for all of you. Possibly. I was getting hair on chin, and I went to a hair removal lady. She told me that I needed to get my hormones checked. I thought, I am onlyin my 30's, I don't need to do that! One thing led after another, and someone told me about this new place in town called SEASONS. They do Hormone replacement therapy. NATURALLY..made from plants!! not the synthetic stuff that causes more problems. I have found that I have very high androgen levels. All people need to get checked, this is NOT for menopausal women only. Kids, men and women need to get this done early before things get worse. Try to find some place local or your nearest large city that will do this testing. They will check all hormones, vitamins, thyroid. The tests are very accurate, and worth it. They do it through saliva tests. Check it out! A regular physician or ob. gyn will not do this testing. You need to find a place that SPECIALIZES in natural hormone replacement therapy.

I am sorry to hear about the distress that excessive hair has caused you, but reading your story made me quite amazed. As far as I am aware women love hairy men!! I in particular find a hairier man extremely attractive and am certainly not alone. There's somehting about a hairy man which makes them seem powerful, strong; like a man should be!!!

I really don't know why I am very hairy. I literally have hair everywhere. I have thick hair on my neck, under my chain, and don't get me started about my legs, arms, and armpits. My boyfriend doesn't really like it and tells me to shave my legs and whatnot. I've done practically everything!!!! Veet, nair, shaving, waxing, laser hair removal, etc!!! And I am still doomed to be hairy. I just don't understand why I'm like this. I'm 17 years old and I've struggled with this problem ever since I was 12. I really don't know what to do anymore. So I just stopped caring. I may remove hair on my body occasionally, but othertimes I let it just grow. I'm sick of it. And wtf is up with the infrown hair? It pisses me off!!
And tanning doesn't even help me, my hair is so thick and everywhere.

Hey cutixox, its not that bad ,i have heard of many people not getting there period untill they are like 18!!
there are possibilities of your really stressed , or your eating habbit could improve, or its just not your time yet ..
im scared to talk to my docter about my period too , ,what i recommend is just say to your mom , next time you see her - Hey , mom .. i havent got my period yet , and i just want to know if there is anything medicaly wrong with me .. and i dont want to have a body exam from the docter,
Something like that ,

Hi Hairy Mate,

Sorry for my bad English and spelling, but English is my second language.
I have same problem with my hair as you do, but in the past I got help. Right now I am in another country, so I have to find a family physician. Back to you, first you have to go to a doctor, I guess to a family physician and tell your problem. He/she is going to take blood to check your hormone levels. especially androgen, testosteron, prolactin and thyroid hormones. Probably you will be sent to have a head CT or MRI to check if you have a little benign tumor which can cause body hair. Also, they will sent you for a stomach ultrasound to check if you have PCO (polycystic ovarii). Depends on the result, you might get medication for your problem and that should help.
In my case, my prolactin hormone level was high that caused my androgen level to go high as well, so that is why I was very hairy. I got Bromocriptin medication that really helped to lose some hair. I have no medication here and I am hairy again.
So, do not be depressed, there is help, but you have to find a good doctor.
Good luck!

The guy who liked me and who i actually reeeeliii liked bak jus moved on bcos i was being so stubborn n i wouldnt let him get close to me...he thought i didnt think he was good enough for me and thinks im snobbish...but thts not the case :( its bcos IM HAIRY!!! i cant let him get close to me and discover tht...i'd hate myself 100 times more than i already do if he discovered i was a monkey....and yea i jus found out he got a girlfriend who i saw pictures of...she's so pretty and obviously hairless and carefree and HAPPY!.....i reeli do wish them the best....and i think its time for me to go jump out my window...
goodbye

I'm ashamed of my body. I have dark, Long hairs Everywhere!and I never knew so many girls had it. They should seriously research this because its depressing and I think its a disorder because we become obsessed with our hair and it really controls how we live on a daily basis. Ive been made fun of by Everyone in my family n yet I'm still hanging on. I'm the prettiest but when its time to go to the pool then I feel like the ugly duckling. I've shaved, waxed, nared, and just recently tried laser hair removal on my stomach to see quick results...still waiting for the hairs to fall out. Idc, I'm determined to be pretty from top to bottom and counciling someone who has thought about it everyday of there life and trying to make them feel better is like an anorexic telling a fat person there not fat. The fat people Know that there fat and feel even worse knowing that the anorexics try so hard not to beCome fat like them. I also have a bad case of scoliosis so imagine being able to hide your ugly hair w/ clothes and yet scoliosis (your torso's shape) is showing off to the world to laugh at. I can't get a break lol my body looks like I should be in the circus. I'm twisted up and hairy all over. Look up scoliosis on google just for fun one day and see what I mean

Hey 'im just trying to find a bit of help

Im 16 i am 5'5. and overweight

I am so self conscious i dont want a doctor look at my flabby stomach. It makes me freak even thinking of it.

What do they do when you go to the doctors about your period? Do they do a full exam?

I am so afraid i will never be able to have children.
I cant really talk to my mum about it because we dont really get time to talk. she works full time and is a single parent.

I've read on all these websites to get afraid if you havent gotten them by 16. i dont know what to do. its really starting to scare me.

Please if anyone can help will you please email me soon. my email address is cutixox@hotmail.com

Hello everyone,

I'm hairy too.... I shave my arms legs every single day. Surprisingly I don't have those ugly bumps on arms as I do in my legs when I shave.

I used to feel ugly and was very insecure about. I met my husband when I was 19, back then I would use nair on my back, my stomach and it would be smooth for a a week or so, my arms and legs I always shaved since I was 18 and a guy at work told me to shave my arms. The point of the matter is that you will be loved by someone who can care less about hair. my husband has the smoothes back I have ever touch without hair, I have a very smooth back my self so he says... and he never complaints about my hair. He buys me dresses despise the dots on my legs from the hair constant growth and doesn't care what no one thinks so why should I? and why should you? Be happy with your self - I tell you that you need to learn to love your self now before you decide to make any drastic changes to your body and then regret it. My pastor used to tell us that you can't move to the next stage until you are happy with this one. don't be complacent just be happy. You are not alone. I'm the only hairy ball in my family all the other woman have smooth hairless skin and although they always made fun of me I never took it personal - I grew up at the beach and no one is taking that from me.
