I was talking to a lady who lives up the road, about my age.  I was so reassured to see quite a covering of fair, downy hair all over her cheeks and chin, just like mine.  Perhaps we could start a new fashion 

[dulciana]

Yes.  Whiskers with style.........

[Ju Ju]

I'd better do something about mine before any of my young pupils - who sit just two feet away from me, at my level - say something like, "Why have you.......?" etc.   

Oh children are very perceptive and will come out with observations you would rather they wouldn't! Like, " Miss, why are your teeth a bit yellow?", when you are giving instructions for a task or " Your feet are very big" when reading a story to a group of children. I did have a good answer!  " All the better to......!" with a nod to Little Red Riding Hood.

I could feel hairs - eventually pulled out 5 which were thick, white and with a 'hook' at the end 

[Elizabethrose]

I've never seen this thread before, how brilliant!

It's reminded me of the time my daughter was being interviewed for a senior school by a female teacher with a moustache, full on!! I was in the room praying that my 10 year old would in no way show that the situation was anything but normal. All went well but as soon as we left and were thankfully out of earshot she whispered, 'mum, please tell me that I'm never going to grow a moustache like that lady'.

[Winterose]

I freeze if my husband strokes my face - terrified in case he feels a whisker Ive not discovered -

[CLKD]

Mine knows better than to stroke my face, I can't bear anyone too close  ....... he says he doesn't notice the hairs 

[CLKD]

Why is it that I can feel hairs under the skin but when I look in the mirror with tweezers poised, I can't locate them 

[jorainbow]

What makes me laugh is I stand in front of the mirror tweezer poised and can't find them but sat at traffic lights quick glance in mirror and I'm the bearded lady!!! Must be the light 😂😂😂😂

[Sandy1]

I investigate my chin every morning, it's like brushing my teeth, it has to be done.  I will clear them all as far as i can see with my 10x magnifying mirror and off i go to start my day.  The next morning i will go and investigate my chin again and you better believe there will be another 6 or so sitting there waiting to be plucked again. I swear someone must be putting miracle grow on my face over night!

Eyebrows, these are now thinner than they used to be but some of the hairs are thick and grow really long, these have to be trimmed down when i  notice them. There is also the odd grey ones that stick out and don't lie flat against my brow so these have to be eradicated too.

And yes jorainbow, as soon as you look in a different mirror there is a bearded lady looking back at you with a horrified expression and i have to spend the rest of the day looking down at the ground

I'll never forget visiting some friends who live in gorgeous Suffolk in a beautiful little village.....we were walking down their lane and a lady was bending down gardening and my friend said "hello" and the shock on my face must have been awful, as when the lady stood up to answer my friend, she was sporting a full moustache    Honestly, I couldn't stop staring...never, ever seen anything like it but it obviously didn't bother her!!!

[CLKD]

  or maybe it did but she couldn't keep up with demand.  Don't get me started on the nasal hairs 

  Sandy !

[MicheleMaBelle]

this has made me laugh and that's not something I do much
Yes to all of the above and hairy toes too! tweezers are your best friend!

[CLKD]

My toes have been hairy for years, like small spiders at the bottom of the bed  . When I had my nails painted many years ago the lady offered to wax them  ........ I told her that it's taken great skill to grow them like that 

More thick silver hairs removed this week ......

[MicheleMaBelle]

Omg -I'm laughing so much at all the replies both now and a few years back. wonderful, absolutely wonderful.Ladies- you are all remarkable. We might feel like shit but aren't we fantastic! XXX
Ps watch those overhead spotlights in bars/ restaurants if you've neglected plucking duties. Not enough fingers to cover the hairy spots. you could try putting your feet up so your fingers could keep your toes company BUT only if you've remembered to pluck your toes!  :-*x
