Boob hair: Normal or not?

Is it normal to have hair on your boobs? I’m so insecure that I’m the only girl that has it. Should I see a doctor?

 

No need to head to a doctor over this one, because you are so not alone. According to Dr. Vinay N. Reddy, assistant professor, Pediatrics and Human Development at Michigan State University, everyone has hair follicles on the skin of their chest.

 

“During puberty, girls and boys produce some androgens (the male hormone), and the androgens are what make hair grow in places where preteens didn’t have hair, like their armpits, their chests, their legs and their pubic area,” he explains. “Some girls develop more body hair than others—not necessarily in different places, but one girl may have more chest hair than another girl.”

 

Even if the hair bothers you, resist the urge to shave or wax it off. “Breast skin is much more sensitive than the skin on your legs,” Dr. Reddy cautions. If you have a stray hair that’s bothering you big time, opt for tweezers instead.

Hi so I recently got a lightly padded bra and it was underwire along the bottom. I want another one how can I ask my mom. Also I've had some hair on my breasts is it normal?
Thanks

Hey girlie,

You could just tell your mom that you would like to have another bra so you wouldn't have to wash it as often, and yes, hair is normal!

My arms are really hairy, and do you think I should shave? Because if I did I would have to do it regularly and for the rest of my life. But I am tired of all this hair! Thanks in advance.

Hey chica, if you did shave, you wouldn't have to do it for the rest of your life.  However, it's easiest to just let your arm hair be, like this article recommends: "What's the point of shaving your arms?"

This is my first time using girls life so I am still learning by copying others.
I'm turning 12 in October and I'm Female Tanner Stage 2. (Other words teeny iny barely there breasts.) is this normal?

 

Hey! everyone has their own "normal" so the best person to ask about your development would be your doctor or a relative. someone who knows your family history will be able to tell you if they were similar to you at your age. I hope this helps!

How do I get a flatter stomach I really want
To lose some baby fat I really want to
Wear a two peice bikini this summer also
Where can I find a affordable vintage 1950s style
Swimsuit I tried looking on a website called modcloth
But their swimsuits are EXSPENSIVE I would
Really like some advice please help thanks tons

 

Hey girl,

Crunches & sit ups are the best and most effective way to tone your abs. As for your swimsuit dilemma, I'm not sure. You could try searching around the web, there has to be someone that sells vintage suits that aren't crazy expensive. xoxo

so i have alot of chest hair. as a younger kid i did the dumbest thing and shaved it.. now it's dark and long.. is there anything i can do to make it less noticable? (i have alot of hair problems.. everywhere actually)

 

hey girl! you could wax it or laser it off. or, keep it covered with scarves and high necked tops. Just remember, no one notices it as much as you do!

Are there certain foods that make your breasts bigger?
I know it's a odd question but I was just wondering

Hey girl, to my knowledge, there are no foods that enlarge breasts.  On a side note, make sure you're wearing bras that fit correctly so you can feel confident and comfortable with your bod.

I'm having a problem "Down There". I'm starting to get bumps ( or pimples ) on both sides of my labia. I know it's not an STD because I never had any intercourse. I don't know why it's happening but it's getting irritating. Help? ( I understand if you have to block out my comment.)

Hey girl, if you're worried, first consult your Mom (or an adult you trust).  She'll be able to help you decide if you should seek a professional's opinion.  Best of luck!

Hey girlie,

I think that can be normal, but I would talk to a doc if you're really sore!

Hey girlie,

I don't think that's possible, but I would talk to a doctor about those issues. Since I'm not an expert, I don't want to point you in the wrong direction, so I would talk to a doc or you school nurse.

This explains a lot because I have heard about this before but never knew anyone or saw it, I thought it may not be true but it doesnt sound like a big issue. So we can blame men and their hormones for the hair on our private and public body places. I think we need certain male hormones, like the ones that urge us to reproduce but this one seems like one that we could use less of. It would be so nice to not have to shave in certain areas.
