I am so very hairy, my entire family on both sides is hairy, and I used to have a lot of dysphoria about it. I now rock my arm hair and just try to trim my facial hair with a trimmer if it’s looking particularly obvious. I have a lot of tweezers and use them to fidget if I’m watching videos. When I had more time, I used to sugar wax every two or three months and thankfully after a few years that gave me nice smooth calves that don’t need any upkeep. I guess the hair gave up after being ripped out enough. Same for my pits, the remaining hair is soft and fine enough that I’m not self conscious about it.

I highly recommend sugar wax to anyone with body hair that’s relatively coarse and thick, you can make it yourself for less than a dollar a batch and it’s not as painful as “normal” waxing. I mean, it’s still painful, but it’s over quickly and it’s not as rough on your skin. It’s a great broke bitch option for unwanted hair because the biggest cost is time.
