I’ve been on hrt for a couple of months and one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with is my light skin + dark body hair. While I’m not out to the world yet it’d be nice to have a smooth chest without short, visible hairs after shaving, which leads to my question. Have any of you dealt with this and found someway to at least hide body hair stubble?

    Just mentioning it as an option since I haven’t seen ppl talk about it, but nair is also an option and leaves you without any stubble, if you can deal with the smell and how harsh it can be on your skin. IF you want to do nair patch test a part of your leg/arm first to see if you get any sort of negative reaction.

    Avoid using nair if you have any cuts/abrasions for any reason.

    It’s also a bit more expensive than your other options. My hair is light enough that I can often get away with shaving so that’s what I do if no one else is going to see it, but I wish you luck on finding a solution that works for you!

      Oh yeah! A friend of mine recommended them a while ago but I dismissed it since she’s blonde and has fairly thin hair. I’ll give it a second look!
