Help me i'm too hairy :(

"Help....help...help"  (imagine the voice trailing off for dramatic affect)...

Please tell me if anyone has had any personal experience regarding what can be done with way too much body hair (*frowns*).

I am trapped in here! This body I have is so hairy (almost I swear like a guerilla). What has worked for any of my sisters out there?? I am trying

Hormones will pretty much get rid of it.

that's really not necessarily the case.

It was with me and pretty much everyone else I've known who's gone on estrogen, etc.

She should know it's not hopeless. Hormones are a wonderful thing.

[shrines]

oh, she should absolutely know it's not hopeless. she should also know that hormones are not a cure-all, and are absolutely not a guarantee. in my and several other women's experiences that i know of, hrt did not get rid of body hair to a great extent. i am just presenting that.

Don't give out false hope. Four years of HRT, three of them post op, did nothing at all that I could see to my body hair. I know I'm far from alone in this.

[pandagenma]

Ah. Well, damn. Sorry, OP, you're fucked.

[auntysarah]

I'm not sure being facetious is entirely helpful. It's certainly the case that the effects of HRT on body hair are highly variable. Some get good results, some get nothing at all. Even if the OP does get a good outcome from HRT alone, it could take years during which she'll presumably want to do something else about it, and yanking the stuff out by whatever means gets old very quickly.
