I suffer from a hairy abdomen. I have been ridiculed...

[D H]

I have been ridiculed all my adult life about it. I feel like an animal! am i?

[maiya]

no just shave everynight

[puckheaded]

We are all animals. Woof woof.No. Just human.

[Dawnia P]

Wrong category??We are all animals... some are hairier than others. If you feel awkward about it, you can shave it, wax it, or have it removed via surgery. Good luck. =)

[need2know]

No! We all have something,we don't like about ourselves.If it bothers you.You can wax (ouch!) your tummy. Or use a electric shaver.I think razors will cause more hair to grow.

well if your a woman, get that waxed, if your a man, you can do what you want. getting it waxed would be a good idea. im a guy and i had the same problem, but i started doing hs wrestling and i had to be nearly hairless

[unplugged]

no, ur just unique.

I tend to agree with Adam as far as shaving goes. But, have you considered "trimming" instead? Trim down to 1/4 inch so there is still hair. Purpose of hair is to help keep the body cool. In the men's department of stores, purchase hair trimmer; they are made now so you can trim down to what I suggested (or longer if you desire). I use one on my abdomen and pubic areas to the quarter inch. Your choice.

Didnt we all evolve from animals, monkeys to be precise. Jokes apart if you think that you abdominal hair is irritating you then just remove them.
you can wax , shave or go for laser. I'd suggest that you start liking them, Girls actually dig it [ i take it for granted that the poster is a guy]

I'm guessing you're female, in which case I can understand your embarassment. You've got a few options:

- Bleach the affected area to make the hair less prominent.
- Shave the affected area, although the regrowth has a chance of being irritable.
- Use hair removal creams for another temporary fix.
- Wax the affected area to remove the hair from the root. Subsequent regrowth will also be finer and less noticeable.
- If it's really bad ask your doctor about electrolysis - the last resort.

I recommend the regular waxing route.

Wax on, wax off. Then no more hair for a while.

you can try laser hair removal if its really making you sad.
