An Option for Light Hair and Sensitive SkinFrom: MB (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 24 Apr 2002 08:01:53 -0500 (CDT)
I don't know how many people here share my sensitive skin problem -- I break out from shaving or using hair removers -- but I thought I'd offer an option that I discovered last summer when I needed to have fairly presentable legs while visiting my mother and sister who are hung up on personal grooming. My husband has a beard and my sons wear crew cuts so we have an electric hair trimmer in the house. I took off all the combs and set it on the closest possible setting -- something like 1/16 of an inch. Then I did my legs and underarms. It left just enough stubble that I didn't get those itchy, infected breakouts and because my leg hair is strawberry blonde and medium-fine the stubble wasn't obvious. Usually I just wear calf-length skirts and ignore the issue. But there are times that call for more conformity with social norms <VBG> and this works for me. Anyone know a good mail-order or online source of skirted bathing suits in plus sizes? I just moved near the beach. I refuse to shave and get infected boils in the bikini area but have to admit that hair showing down my legs looks indecent.
