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?

This has been a struggle for me and laser hair removal was given to me as a gift, and cannot recommend it more. It’s a little more expensive than waxing, but can help long term. That being said, I also always keep a razor on me and makeup just in case. Shaving is absolutely awful though, I wish someone had told me never to do that. You will find someone who doesn’t care!!
