Getting Rid of Hair Around Nipples?

Well, I have not idea what do with the hair around my nipples! Before I asked this question, I surfed around Y! A and got totaly mixed up answers!

I want to shave my nipples, because I already have a razor, it seems painless, and it's easy.

But, some people are saying that it will make it grow back darker, it doesn't work, and it's not safe? (I definatly need something that's safe!)

Some people say to wax? I, like others, think that would be so un-safe and not a good idea at all! What's the deal with waxing your nipples?

Others say to pluck? I have basically heard that this is safe and a lot of people suggest it? Ouch! I'm not a big plucker. Here's my problem with plucking: I don't want to tell my mom that I'm doing this, so I couldn't really go to the store and get the tweezer. We recently got wax strips for my eyebrows, so I couldn't say they were for my eyebrows.

Hair removing cream. I have some hair removing cream can I use that?

Basicaly can I shave my nipples?

OK. First of all, the idea that shaving hair makes it grow back thicker/darker is a myth. If that were the case, mens' beards would get thicker every day (I can attest that this is not true) and American womens' legs would look hairier than mens' legs if they let the hair grow out after years of shaving.

You can check medical references if you like, but believe me; It's not going to grow back thicker or darker if you shave it.

HOWEVER, you'd probably be better off NOT shaving around such a sensitive area. Aside from the possibility of cutting yourself, there's the very real possibility of desensitizing your nipples from frequent razor burn. It wouldn't be complete, but you'd built up tougher skin from all the times dragging a razor on it.

You do NOT want tougher, less sensitive nipples!

Hair removing cream can do the same thing-- It BURNS your hair off. It's basically weak acid. NOT something you should be putting on ANY sensitive area of your body!

Plucking is your best option. If you're an adult, and the problem is serious, you may consider electrolysis to permanently remove it. See a doctor about this.

I can't speak to waxing them-- It sounds unpleasant, and could possibly do damage to such a sensitive area.

Pluck them, dear. I know it's time-consuming and annoying, and can be painful, but it's the best option.

Shave if they really bother you. Everyone has them.

Shaving does not make it grow back darker or thicker, it just seems like it does because the hair used to have soft wispy ends, and when you shaved them the hair was cut off a a very blunt angle. Put some kind of lotion on after you do or you'll be very itchy :p

Don't wax, pluck, or use a depilatory ("hair removing cream"). They'll irritate the gentle skin.

DOOOO NOOOT shave them, it will grow back a lot thicker (like each hair will be more course). I get a few and they are super thick from shaving them a while back. Try to pluck them if you can get a hold of them!

DON'T PUT HAIR REMOVING CREAM ON YOUR NIPPLES!

Don't shave your nipples, the hair will grow back worse, darker and thicker (even the really light-colored ones) and you could cut yourself.

Get a friend to get you some tweezers. Just pluck them out, they come right out and don't even hurt. I know, I've done that all my life - and I hate pain.
