I have never thought of myself has a 'hairy' person, until Saturday. When I was sitting on the bed talking to the hubs about where we were going to go to eat in the Park (Denali Park that is). I looked down at my legs, because I was wearing capris. WOW. I had just shaved Friday because I was going to see the hubs and I know how much he hates hairy legs. I already had a bunch of hair growing back. I looked up at the hubs and said "Either I really just suck at shaving, or I am turning into a monkey and my hair grows back in fast." I have always thought I sucked at shaving, but today I have decided that it’s just the PCOS and that I just have to face the fact that I might have to shave everyday.
I am glad I don't live somewhere warm (that’s a first) because if I had to shave my legs this much I would never wear shorts or go to the beach, This isn't going to get any better is it? Nope. It’s just going to get worse, longer, darker, and pricklier by the second. There is no way in hell I am waxing my whole body (and to those who do kudos to you) I would maybe do it once, or twice before a vacation, but I would never make it a regular thing in my life. I don't even think I could handle doing it once or twice, at least my whole body. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit in my mouth.
My question today is, how often do you shave, PCOS or no PCOS? Do you get annoyed as much as I do when the next day your legs are prickly again?
Okay that’s all I wanted to bitch about tonight, I am off to a party ( no not that kind).
Girlfriend...let me just start off by saying that I am so thankful to have found someone else who feels the same way that I do about their own personal "hairy situation". I have the problem of hair under my chin, and to be quite honest it's pissing me off. I don't want to break out the razor, because I have heard this only makes it thicker and come back faster, but I am seriously contemplating it.
ReplyDeleteI am so sick of this PCOS crap making me a hairy dude.
Jessie-
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment,this is the first time I have ever complained about the hair. Now that it is summer though its driving me crazy. Also your family is in my prayers, I just read part of you blog and it brought me to tears!
Howdy
ReplyDeleteI am hairier than a hairy thing in a hairy situation!!
I could (but usually don't!) shave my legs and underarms every day. I have a hairy chin / neck / top lip that I wax once every 2 weeks tops. I was having laser hair removal, but TBH didn't really rate it. I have, in the past, broken out the razor (when I've been on my way out and noticed an outbreak that needed to be gone super quick!) but wouldn't recommend it (not only does it grow back super quick, it doesn't help you feel any more feminine!)
Don't you just love PCOS!!! xx
For a few months I shaved everyday and put lotion on my legs. I LOVED how smooth and soft my legs were. But it just gets to be too tedious. LOL Now I shave about every 3 days and use lotion every other day-ish.
ReplyDeleteSince I usually wear jeans, I only shave every three or four days. I usually am prickly the day after I shave though. My hair and nails grow really fast.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the wonderfuly hairy comments girls! It does suck, but there could be worse things right?
