Shave it...you're just like everyone else now. That's not a gross problem, that is a normal problem.

It is normally called puberty.....Although while I was on Depo Provera I did start growing hair in places I never did before. You may need to go to the dr. to make sure your hormones are level. If you have just started a new birth control ask your dr.. for somthing different before it gets out of control.

You're lucky! Most of us start growing between ages 13-15. It stinks, but it's a part of life. You can shave or wax it, but it will keep growing back and you can't really slow it down.

Maybe normal, maybe not. One possibility is hirsutism.
Since your 20, puberty is probably over, but that doesnt mean you cant continue to grow hair over your body.
Hey, I posted a link on hirsutism below, take a look and see if this describes you.

ugh your 20 and just now getting hair ? I'm shocked this didn't happen like 6 years ago. you can not slow its growth you can shave, or wax it away if you do not like it but other wise your stuck with it.

Naturally Smooth by Jergens helped me alot and few of my freinds also.After few weeks of using it hair grows less thick and not as fast.
But in other hands you can shave,wax or laser.

You should not be worried or grossed out. You should have went to the docs office 5 or 6 years ago to ask him/her why you didnt have it.

There's no way to slow it unless you wax or laser zap it, this is normal, you'll get used to it, it's just a part of growing up!!!

That's not gross, it's normal. Shave like the rest of us. No need to worry.
