    Sorry she I, but this just made me laugh:-) ! Grandkids - they are so funny!

    I suppose I've got some chin hairs but they're natural blonde, and pluck them as and when ( but don't go thinking Ulrika Johnson.... think more Boris Johnson:-) !!).

    But I do confess to getting this really annoyingly long nipple hair that I can feel tickling my inner arm when I lift my arm to my face, topless of course! Me and the ol' man find it amusing: think the longest i've left it to grow is about 3" unravelled!

    We won't even go there with leg shaving: I'm really a fair-weather friend in that regard but when I finally condescend to shave them (around Easter generally!), even I'm amazed at how long - not thick thankfully! - they are. And of course, blonde....phew!!!

    Young girls would be truly mortified if they really knew what was in store for them!!:-)

    Oooo yes 😄 welcome to our world !! Seemingly we're told.....our pituitary glands are looking for the oestrogen( which of course we're not making too much of anymore )  in our bodies, and sends out a follicle stimulant to find it !! Which results in hairs growing in the most OBSCURE  places!! Really God...that's some wierd design fault !!! 

    Head for the beauty therapist honey...they can laser the perishers off permanently !!!!

    I've had a "moustache" since my late teens and was horrified to get a full "beard" in my thirty's.

    I pluck them out every few days - in a week I counted them, I counted 1200 + strong dark brown little buggers. (there are some grey ones too, which are sooooo thick and strong)

    In my forty's I had tests for polycystic overies, but nothing was confirmed.

    8 years ago I had 7 sessions of lasering at full strength.

    In the last 4 years, most have grown back (I had the lasering done at a clinic in our hospital)

    If I don't have time I razor them off, before going out etc.

    I was told that hair removing creams distort the hair follacle and so lasering is not so successful.

    I can't use hair remover cream etc now as I've tried them all and they all give me horrid rashes.

      Just to add - my mum had some, not as many as me, she had them right up until the day she died at 78

      Very brave lol  the hairs on the chin feel more prickly when they pop through the skin than when they get to 2mm
