My hair growth on my chin is about the same as yours. I am so embarassed about it. I always wear my hair in ways to cover my chin area. My hair covers 3"X4". What I found that works the best for hair removal is Nads. I only have to do it once a week and the hair grows in soft and fine. Plus Nads is natural so it doesn't cause any problems for sensitive skin. I know what you mean about feeling like a freak when you let the hair grow. Coming from a family of very hairy people (my dad looks like an ape) doesn't help me out. I have hair growing in all the wrong places. When I go to the beach I have to spend so much time removing it all. I have been eating a better diet and going the naturopathic route. Since I was not ovulating my doctor gave me something from Germany called Vitex or Vitalex. Not sure on the spelling. I have been taking it for about 6 mnths and have gotten my periods back and started to ovulate! I am so excited that I should be able to get pregnant soon. Oh, I found out that if your periods are a dark color that you are low in progesterone. Mine used to be that way, but now they are a lighter red. Wishing you success with eliminating chin hair! >At Wed, 26 Jul 2000, Helen wrote: >> >>I hope this one isn't too wierd -- but, knowing that my husband would be >>gone on business for 7 days, I stopped waxing/plucking my chin/neck >>hairs (which I usually have to tend to on a daily basis..).
