Well, it's summer time and you know what that means. I have to bleach my stomach hairs. Ugh. Will putting bleach (yes, fabric bleach) on them work?

Bad idea. Use peroxide, not bleach. Bleach is corosive. Read the Bottle! ***If it will eat a hole through your clothes, it will eat a hole through your skin***
Your options are to use peroxide (which may bleach the skin for a day or two), shave, Nair, wax or deal with it.
(Shaving might cause it to grow back thicker)
I think if you have serious belly hair problems you should have a hormone test done. (Read up on PCOS - hormonal problems causing unwanted hair growth in about 50% of the female population.)

No.
It is a powder, mixed with developer.
You can buy kits at Walmart, where you find the Nair stuff.
Or just get them waxed off, I do it at work all the time. Lasts for 6-8 weeks, and it doesn't glint in the summer sun! :)

Why would you want to use fabric bleach?
You can buy hair bleach for legs at any drug store only for $6.00 and if it works for legs I guess it would work for stomach.
8 minutes and you done.

No, don't do that for real.Don't do it you will irritate your skin. the bleach used for body hair is a different kind of bleach. Its actualliy peroxide. You can get some at Walgreens.

Bleach is chlorine. I do not think it will harm you in that strength. Muratic acid is another name and diluted to a low strength it is used as Murine, an eye wash.
At full strength, it is one of the most corrosive of the acids.

NO... you will end up with an irritated and sore skin. The best is to pluck them out NOT ONE BY ONE but by using the proper stuf, wax I think

Why don't you leave those hairs as they are? Honestly, it can't be so bad. If you want to bleach them, use peroxide like you would use on your hair.

go to a professional, its the safest bet. bleach may actually do that, bleach your skin... then you will walk around with a powder stomach.

No. I agree with above.. it is a bad idea. There are commerical products you can buy for this.
Here is a homemade recipe you might want to try:

No, it will irritate your skin. That's about the dumbest thing you can do. Just remove them by getting a wax.
