Removing nipple hair

[Guest Kayla Grace]

This is the only reason I'm glad my breasts haven't began to get more sensitive. I still have dark thick hair growing in the nipple area, and in the "clevage" area. Laser is not an option nor is electrolysis, and I'm hesitant to use the Moom 4 Men on the nipples since it advises not to, plus, waxing hair in general really does hurt.

This is a problem that, in all likelihood, will disappear after you've been on HRT for a year or two (if you haven't already been on it for that long already). Chest hair and body hair are among those regions that HRT seems to have a good effect on for most. Even if the hair doesn't completely disappear, it should become thin enough to shave off easily.

It will take between 18 months to two years for hair in that area to change in texture and color to the point that a little bit of careful shaving in the shower will take care of the problem with the hair. Use a women's body razor for now with a smear of shampoo or hair conditioner lotion and it will be a bit prickly at first, but as E takes over the hair you will be able to go for days before it will be seen. I had fairly thick blackish hair in the whole belly area when I began HRT. What is there now, is "baby fuzz" where there is any hair at all, and I only shave the area every month or two. I do get what are called rogue hairs inside the aureola every now and then, but they pluck out almost painlessly.

Your body hair, like head and beard hair grows in cycles over the 2 year window, and once a hair has completed its growth cycle and falls out, the follicle goes dormant for a while. It is in the dormancy phase that the Estrogen takes it over and it comes awake again in female mode a few weeks later.

A good question about what seems such an annoyance. Showering and noticing hairs where they just belong is truly a bummer. You have had great advice above. Time helps....another one of those changes that takes patience. I use the sideburn trimmer on my electric razor to tenderly get the odd survivor.

I have the estrogen peach fuzz down from woolly mammoth. Works for me. I wish I could post the before and after picture but I think it treads badly on T&C. I'm wearing a bra of course, when I show the picture to friends I don't want them gawking at my girls. Giggle. They all say WOW, estrogen did that?

Every month, month and a half I use Nair. I follow the directions religiously. I use it all over my body. I don't put it on my face, head or badge (triangle on the bottom). I use a shower cap too. It takes off areola strays like a champ. Hey, it works for me. Hug. JodyAnn

That will lighten and/or disappear on HRT after a while. You may still have a few strands on the aereola, but many women do anyway and that doesn't take long to shave off in the shower.

Thanks girls. I'm glad it's a time thing and not reliant on my own ways of removing it. HRT has definitely been a huge waiting game to say the least.

Stay safe,
