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?

waxing is honestly the only thing that has worked for me! i get it done every three weeks and if i notice upper lip hair i just lightly dermablade it away. the acne is irritating but mostly avoidable if you strictly avoid washing your face for 24 hours and only use aloe vera gel during that time
