I wax often. The box says it lasts three weeks - HA! Not this PCOS facial hair. It drives me bananas.I wax every week and a half.

I use this thing for most of it...

I have wax strips but I never want to let the hair get long enough to be able to wax it although I know it'd last longer than using the tool above which is similar to shaving. I tweeze the random stray hairs.

ETA: I don't have PCOS, I'm just hairy.

Does that thing work, Xan?

I don't have PCOS, but I am hairy. I've been having my eyebrows threaded for years and recently got my chin done. I really liked it.

@amandaf6383, it works really well for my eye brows, mustache and side burns. It doesn't work as well for the hair under my chin so sometimes I have to use an actual razor on that.

Kind of all of the above. I've had a lot of laser treatments for it, but the stragglers I usually tweeze or shave

All of the above... often

Shave mostly but tweeze the randoms. I've used one of those cream hair removers before but it burnt my face so that was no bueno.

Another non-PCOSer who tends to be hairy.

I tweeze my eyebrows (every once in a blue moon I'll pay to have them properly shaped/waxed).

I wax my upper lip.

And I tweeze the random chin hairs I get. (Embarrassing moment: I didn't notice one right before my wedding, but the makeup artist on my wedding day caught it and plucked it for me. I hate it when anyone notices those ones.)

I know, right?? Why are the chin ones SO much more embarrassing?

Also, for those who shave, don't you have to do it like every day? Do you get stubble/5 oclock shadow like boys do?

I've done all of the above, but the most common one I use is shaving. I used to have a little tool like the one Xan mentioned, but it broke and I haven't gotten another one. Now, I just use a regular razor for my side burns and upper lip. I only get a few stray hairs on my chin so I just pluck those.

@amandaf6383 I will shave my side burns like once every 3 weeks or so. My upper lip I do more often, like once every 5-7 days.

I shave every few days. I would have to shave every day if I wanted it to stay super smooth. My hair is blonde so I don't really have a problem with it showing unless it gets longer. I would like to try waxing sometime soon though.

Yes. Yes.
