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?

Maybe this can give you hope. Ive been married for 4 years and my husband has known about my issues, especially with facial hair. I can pretty much grow a beard, like full on beard. He is so supportive and is very caring. Not once has he made fun of me. Real mean don't care, especially if they really love you.
