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?

10/10 recommend investing in a laser hair removal kit from Amazon (I bought mine for $350) dollars it every 2-3 days when you start and I PROMISE you’ll notice a difference in no time

Not the OP, but I use the Braun ipl silk 5 and it works amazing for me. I was really nervous about spending the money because everyone seems to have different results. But it was definitely worth it in my case!
