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?
Lazer!
My body hair was quite dark but after about 8 months I noticed how leg to chest was significantly lighter and less dark. Only my facial hair stayed corse and dark without laser. Shaving my legs early on was painful now it’s mainly just a chore. Of course everyone has a different experience but I would say give it time. Unless you have the cash to full body laser then I’d say do that.
I personally use an at-home Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) hair removal device. Wirks great for dark hair on light skin. But it is a costly device. A regular compact epilator is also a good chraper option. I use it on my facial hair
Laser hair removal is great for that combination. I got started on it after a couple months of hrt, and it’s done a lot for body hair over a short time
Not an ideal solution but my plan is to use kigurumi. It seems like the easiest and least painful option for me.
