It's only noticeable to you because it's your body and you see it up close. It's like this: No one knows exactly where you are wearing concealer or coverup unless you point it out. You see yourself close up in a mirror while others only see you from a distance. I doubt anyone would go up to your stomach or back and stare. I don't think bleaching would help a bit because you're just bleaching hair.. it's still there. My friend tried bleaching her stomach hair and it looked bad. It seemed to be more noticeable in my opinion. Wear that bikini. Everyone has dark body hair but since they are looking at you from a distance, it's not going to be pointed out. Especially if the sun is on you, it makes your skin have a glow. Unless someone knows it bothers you and wants to hurt you in some way, they will point it out. I have hair on my stomach and well, trying to remove it.. is a bad idea. Once a part of the hair is gone, you'll notice the surrounding hair[even if it's light!]... then you'll end up trying to remove every hair you have. So you could try waxing if you want or bleaching but from my experience, it's not good. It does grow back darker and in my opinion, before I tried doing anything.. it was not that noticeable or dark. Now it is. So even though you are conscious about it.. don't pay attention to it. Just focus on your legs. That's where guys usually look "long, sexy legs blah" You're always going to have hair everywhere. Just don't wax your chest, stomach or back.. Leave that to the dudes. You can either pluck or shave hair on your breasts though. I remember having a few long hairs.. and I just pulled it out. it looks better. I'm sure if you look closely to your friends, they have dark hair too. [ queenhearts's advice column | Ask queenhearts A Question ]

#1 You can bleach your skin hair with some kind of product. The ones I found are Jolen Creme Bleach, Sally Hansen Extra Strength Creme Hair Bleach for Arms, Legs, and Face, Sally Hansen Fast and Gentle Creme Hair Bleach for Face and Invis-Bleach Bleaching Cream. These are just to name a few. If you need more options, you can click on the link below.
#2 You can go to the doctor and get a prescription strength hair removal cream called Vaniqa.
I hope I've helped.
Good Luck. [ AngelofMercy's advice column | Ask AngelofMercy A Question ]
