i have this problem....i have hairy arms. Sure, the hair is light- meaning not too dark, but it is like 2 cm long!!!!!!!! Its not that I am self concious but it really hurts my feelings when people draw attention to it by saying "ohh look ure harrier than I am , or you are as hairy as a monkey! I do waxing (for special occasions-like 3 times a year) but the other times are living hell. ANY REMEDIES??????????????

are you young? do you work?
i'm 24 years old and have a decent job.
yes i was hairy too. not just arms but legs, back and... ahem... pubic hair too.
i saved money and had a laser hair removal all over my body.
now i'm shaving cream free for the rest of my life.
go see a doctor and ask him how much it costs.
good luck!

Well, I like Chickady's answer. People can be so horrible sometimes, can't they? Flip them off if you'd like. Anyways, I had the same type problem, except with dark hair on my upper lip. Now, I used the hair remover stuff you buy at Walgreen's, but I'm not sure they sell the stuff you need there, you might try using some kind of bleach, if at all cost, now I know this must sound horrible but, I your really that embarresed then wear a thin black long sleaved shirt underneath your short sleaved shirts, try Fang shirts, cute but thin, so your not hot.

ehh. I had the same problem, only once I got rid off it they still made fun of me. So if your doing this for them, don't. But if you really want to get rid off it with-out waxing, try a hair removal lotion. I can't say which will work best for you, so try a couple. Just watch the clock, you don't want to leave it on to long.

I find NADS is a great body wax which is easy to use, doesn't hurt that much (compared to hot wax) and easy to was off. It says it works on arm hair, back hair, leg hair, ect. And it came with reusable strips ^_^

Shaving, electrolysis and other methods are fairly effective. Shaving is the easiest, but you have to do it every now and then. Keep in mind many guys will find you pretty the way you are, with your hair. But I can understand society's pressure. Good luck to you!

Shave your arms, you will have to do it quite often, but that's what i do, i would rather do that then wax them... that hurts... i have to get my eyebrows waxed every couple months.. but anyways, that what i do.

you could try bleaching it or waxing more often. and try and make a joke about when people make fun of you like "if im a monkey then get me a banana b****"
or something witty like that (lol)
