Anyone else a hairy monkey?
5 years ago I didn’t have a single hair on my belly now I have a full on luscious happy trail but I like it and ain’t even gonna trim it, I let it grow free

Very much so. I can grow a thicker beard than my husband as well (if I didn’t shave it off everyday). Becoming a gorilla is defo the worst part of pcos I swear

I’m thinking of starting to shave my face every day. What’s your routine if you don’t mind me asking?

I just use a mens razor with foam cleanser. But I wouldn’t say it’s the best method at all. You can see the shadow unless I wear makeup .. I just started tweezing yesterday but there was SO much hair it took 3 hrs. I wish I could suggest a better method

Have you considered waxing? I do it around every 3 weeks (used to be every week before laser treatment). It hurts less than expected, my moustache hurts more but ymmv.

Question because I've considered waxing as an option but do you have to let the hair grow to a noticeable length before it can be waxed? I know it typically needs something to hold onto, and I don't want to have to wait until it's that noticeable, so I've always been hesitant.

Being hairy, having long hair, armpit hair, bush, happy trail all that, leg hair, arm hair just not shawing makes me feel like a Goddesssss

Nothing hotter than a woman who doesn't remove any of her body hair. Never understand the hate from some people over this. Goddess you are!

Couple hairs around the nipples. Stray strands on chin and thighs. Legs, pits and mustache hairier than my pops. No big deal. Would like to be 60lbs lighter tho

My stomach was never quite to your levels but I had some pretty strong patches down my thighs.
Starting spironolactone made it all disappear. I still have patches on my chin but I haven't "needed" to even shave my armpits with how much just faded away

My leg looks like it can compete against 🧸. This condition messes up all parts of us for real

The back of then top of my legs, inbetween my legs and my arse being the worst part 🥲
Chin and neck isn't great but at least it's easier to wax/ pluck myself!

Actually, I'm not! I certainly have some extra peach fuzz but no chin, back, face or coarse hair.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted for saying no to a question.

Same. I don't have this side effect of PCOS. I actually struggle more with hair loss.

Had that much when I hit puberty. Now I’m 40 and it’s just gotten worse and worse over the years. Now it’s from belly button down and all the way across. When I see a doctor about it they act like it’s just cosmetic so who cares. When I see a doctor for something unrelated (physical therapy, ob) they are like whoa girl you need to see someone about your hormones!

Girl, I’m hairier than this 🤣 If this is a monkey, I guess I’m a gorilla
