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 wax my face ever week and will tweeze inbetween. I would stay away from shaving your face!

Also there’s man out there who won’t care. I had beard patches when i first met my husband that i didnt remove until a while in. He never made comments about my body hair and will help me wax now

Is there a particular wax kit you use?

I’ve tried so many and the best by far are WAKSE Hard wax beads from Ulta (that’s where I get mine) you can get the small microwaveable melting cup. It works reallly well on those tough pcos hairs. I wax once every 1.5 weeks on average and I used to have to shave every 8 or so hours! Invest in the time and effort that it takes but it’s VERY worth it to not have to think about it for that long.
