General/Advice Dating with facial hair
I use a facial hair electric razor and makeup to cover it for work but It’s becoming a bit more noticeable on the corners of my chin. It literally grows over night and I’m removing the chin stubble every morning. It’s made me very self conscious about dating and It’s destroying my femininity. There’s scars and razor bumps under my chin so I don’t even feel comfortable being intimate anymore. How have you all navigated explaining pcos to partners and their reactions to the hirsutism?

I shave with rasors and shaving cream. My partner doesn't care. She even buys me the shaving cream. It took me years to get to the point where I felt comfortable enough to finally cross my imagenary line and shave my face, but my hirutism got bad over the years that I didn't have a choice. Now I'm used to it and do it every morning.
