I hope this isn't too TMI but I don't know anywhere else I can ask this,

Does anyone have stray hairs on their breasts near the nipple area?

If you do, how to you get rid of it? Or do you leave it?

TIA for all your replies

The biggest mistake that I made when I was younger, is that I tweezed. Did it promote more hair? I think so! So I've just been tweezing ever since...

what would you suggest I do?

I don't want to leave it. Wax? Laser? Electrolysis?

Frankly, its kind of exposing to go for the above to wax, laser or electr. And its such a sensitive area.

I did electrolysis in that area and it went away much faster than other parts of my body.

I do electrolysis occasionally and don't touch it the rest of the time. DH has no idea that I even remove it. I find that electrolysis works really well.
And yes, it is embarrassing at the beginning, but trust me, they've seen it all.

Electrolysis is perfect for this since there are only a handful of hairs. The women who do electrolysis have seen much much worse, believe me! If you want some more privacy then go to a salon outside your community (and not a Jewish woman). If you plan on paying in cash, you could also use a different name, although I really don't think you have to worry about it that much Smile

Try EMLA cream before laser or electrolysis.

Having those hairs is common and totally normal. Tweezing won't promote growth at all so go ahead and tweeze them if they bother you.

I tweeze too. It's only a few stray hairs here and there, so not a big deal to just take care of it twice a month.

I have had hair there for a long time. When I was doing electrolosis on a different area, I asked for it to be done on my breasts as well but I still have hair there so I either shave or tweeze depending on the size.
