The hair on my nipples is embarrassing!

I have hair on my nipples, and I really want to remove it—it's embarrassing! Should I pluck it, shave it, wax it...what?

 

When you go through puberty, it’s pretty darn common to wake up one morning, look down and realize there's hair everywhere. The fact of the matter is, however, humans are mammals and we all naturally have hair all over, whether it’s dark and coarse or barely noticeable.

 

I urge you to leave the hair on your nipples alone. The skin on and surrounding your nips is extremely sensitive, making plucking and waxing a really painful-sounding idea. Plus, if that area of skin doesn’t take well to depilatories, you’re gonna be seriously uncomfortable until the irritation goes away. And shaving is a recipe for lots of cuts all over your boobs.

 

It’s time to embrace the hair on your bod and, if necessary, learn to ignore it. It’s not hurting anyone, and chances are no one is going to see it, anyway. So what’s the big deal? Drop the embarrassment and rock your body proudly!

the wire on my bra is poking out, and i have no were to get a new one!! how do i fix it!?!?




Hey girl,

If the bra has ripped and the wire is coming out, it is time to kick it to the curb! Bras aren't made to last forever, so try to accept that and recognize that you gotta buy a new one. Try Forever 21 or Target for affordable bras that you can try on before buying!

I have quite a bit of hair on my arms, and it's really embarrasing! I get really mean comments from boys, like "i wish iwas that hairy) and stuff like that. What should i do?!




Hey girlie!

There isn't much that you can do, unfortunately.  If you shave your arms, the hair will only come back thicker and it will go through that pesky stubble phase too.  Often enough, the hair on places like your arms is a sign of your ethnicity.  Instead of letting their immature comments get to you, learn to love it because you love your heritage.  Trust me, chica, the time will pass and you'll notice it less and less.
