Well, no one had really explained the fact that hair grows back darker and thicker after you shave it...
Anyways, I had some annoying hair on my stomach that was sort of embarrassing, so I shaved it every so often when I would get desperate before swimming and would be wearing a bikini or something. And now it's grown back really noticeably, and I really really HATE it!!! PLEASE tell me what to do! I've heard that you can bleach it, but what product should I use that i can get at walmart? and could it do anything weird to my skin or anything like that? I'm going to be working at a camp all summer, so i'll be in my bathing suit A LOT, and i really don't want to worry about it. HELP! (thanks!)

Hydrogen Peroxide has a lightening effect, and shouldn't burn at the concentrations sold in drugstores for antiseptic use.
There are expensive therapies that supposedly zap the hair with laser, light, or electric pulses, and make it go away forever. If you want a permanent solution you might look them up, and look for a place you think is credible.
Aside from shaving, plucking makes hair stay away for longer, but is only really useful for small amounts of hair, and hurts for the first while, until your skin gets used to it.
Quick fix, try weak peroxide..
Light coloured fuzz on the belly isn't offensive. Thick black hair is a bit of a turnoff.
