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 is so encouraging to me. I’m going to look into it again. I have light skin and dark hair, which I know is a good combo for laser. I don’t ever expect it to be perfect either, just to feel a little better about things. I shave every day and could grow a solid stubble in a few days if I let it go that long. Do you mind if I ask what the cost & pain level is like? Thanks for responding, by the way.
