|Share your embarrassing moments on the Shout Out Boards!|
“When I was in 6th grade I noticed around my belly button that there was hair but it was the light kind of hair you see on your arms thats barely noticeable.. I made a horrible mistake and shaved it like an idiot… And ever since then it’s grown back much much much thicker and the hair is BLACK. I have blonde hair and when I started shaving it it actually turned black!!! And I cant wear swimsuits even when I shave it because its become so thick you can see the million dots where ive shaved.”

Can You Trust Him?
I shave my stomach, my legs, my private-area, the little hairs around my nipples, my armpits, my arms, and since my mother pretty much forced me to growing up cause I was ‘hairy’, my face. It disgust me every single time I have to, I don’t feel like a real woman. Even afterwards, with everything ‘smooth’ it only last for about a day. I am so self conscious about this, about the shaving aspect and the fact that if I don’t shave, the consequences would be too devastating for me.
It may be embarssing, but trust me you are not the only one. I have to shave all those areas as well and it is such a pain.
I’m 22 I shaved a part of my stomach when I was in middle school. Only the middle part of my belly button down.. so now I have a weird patch that grows back long and black. I have a boyfriend that I get embarrassed to reveal my stomach to… so what I do is I pluck the hairs that are the darkest and the lighter short ones I bleach.. I don’t shave anymore it makes it worse, it just grows back faster and uneven. I suggest you stop!!! plucking allows the hair to grow back slower. And plucking may leave scarring so be gentle. Don’t try and pluck out a short hair that isn’t even yet out. And if you already do have scarring what you can do is cover it up with makeup and use scar lightning remedies at home. You know you can always let it grow back out too, your hair will get softer over time.
p.s. I do not recommend anyone use Nair it can be harmful to the skin since it is a chemical. It can end up leaving you with red dots or be painful used over already open hair pores. Also, If you use Nair, just like shaving, it will become an everyday thing that will prob get uglier. My experience from use.
i shaved mines just now, so i can get a piercing…but then read ur guts comments
so next time, i will use nair?
Well i was thinking about it but cant talk to my mum about it but wait for then to grow abit thewX … some stores let you buy waxing equipment that at a young ageso hope it.goes well xxx

I no a lot of girls that do that nd I was thinking of shaving my tummy but idk what to do!! Have no hair or have hair and look hairy 0_0
lol i shave my stomach every other day and it looks fine. but then again i only have like four hairs on it lol
I am 14 I shaved my stomach last year and really regret it the hairs are really long and thick I can’t bleach or wax also I haven’t told my mom and i can’t cuz shes too embarrassing I’ve true plucking but is too painful please help I also can’t buy any thing please help me!!
I do the same thing and I’m 14 too I didn’t tell my mom either I tried to let it grow in but it grew in like leg hair so I just continued shaving. I’m not so sure what to do though……
Just bleach it…. Leave the bleach on for a good 30 mins. Buy Jolen bleach. Your hair will turn blonde. I shaved my stomch hair too ad have the same problem. Just tell your mom, she’ll understand.
Do you continually have to bleach it, or do you just have to do it once?
I thought was the only only1 ive tried bleaching but it doesnt work good. I dont own no one piece all two piece so pretty but cant wear them now. DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO!!!!!!!!!
Lol thts sad bleecher or pluck girl! Stop shaving and let it grow out than pluck it bleach it or use a special hair remover
