summers arriving...yet horible problem

ok, well as u all know, summers arriving!yay:biggrin: or arrived....well..this is british weather its unpredictable anyway:p: but yeah back to my point...well, seeing as summers almost here, I'd really like to be confident in what I wear, which isnt made possible by the fact that I hav quite a hairy back:frown: it really gets me down, its not monkey hairy or anything, but its enough to make me extremely self conscious about wearing certain types of clothing.if anyone has any ideas as to how to get rid of it?it would be much appreciated, ive thought about laser but thats very expensive, and creams I figured would be kind of hard to reach:p: but any advice would be great:smile:

are you a girl or a guy?

If a guy, if its not monkey hairy as you say whats the problem?

and if you're a girl, the only times most of your back is showing, they're not going to be looking at that... depending on preference, its the bum, boobs and the legs which get the most notice!

There isn't much clothing that shows your back anyway... I'm sure it can be avoided

nobodies going to notice. most girls have a fine coating of tiny lil hairs anyway : ) and if someone does say anything, why would you care what they thought anyway if they're that ignorent?

I'm sure there are some guys out there with a fetish for girls with hirsute backs.

chica, unless youre a trueskool Gorillagram then calm down, its not a big deal. Get out there and party with the rest, and if you have a SERIOUS problem then dye it for summer, then get on with life!

If it is dark hair then you could try some of the hair bleaching kits that you can buy - which would lighten it up so its not as noticeable. If its not I wouldn't worry about it, people really won't notice!

get someone to wax it for you if thats what you want.

wax or electrolyse it if it's really bad :smile:

Maybe some of those hair minimising moisturisers might help? You mightn't be able to reach all of your back, but I'm sure someone in your family can help out!

Also, gets some nice thin cardies to wear with pretty summer dresses. You can still feel summery and feminine, but cover your back a bit too.

I woulsn't be bothered I'm blonde and although the hair on my body is light I have alot of it but it's completely normal. You could also use a buffer it exfoliates and removes hair easily get them in argos for like £20

Just wear things like boleros and shrugs, they often come (I dont know what its called) knitted with holes all over them, they wont show your skin but will keep you cool.

wax maybe.. or have you got a good friend or relative that could do the cream for you so you dont have to go through the pain of waxing?

guys will notice! especially if it's shining under the sun on the beach.

wax your back... get it done at a parlour though. its not that expensive plus it feels nice:smile:
