It’s disgusting really. Mother Nature turns you into a sweaty, hairy, confused mess to stop you having kids.
Nothing much seems to happen to men.

Yes!!! I pluck every couple of days I swear
Sadly mine are really white so I can't use the electro thingy to blast them off and have to pluck
Same here. My cheeks and neck are covered with white long hairs, I was gonna get one but then read it won't work on them. I've been using facial oil and a separate razor to take them off every so often.
Anyone recommend anything for snoring? I snore like a train at certain times of the night the last year or so and I have to share a room on holiday. I don't want to be smothered by a pillow - any solutions?
Electrolysis works on white/fair hair. Laser needs pigment.
Different things work for different people - for me it's weight-related, which I'm having real trouble shifting now I'm in peri, and I need to lose at least a stone to get back in the no-snore zone. I've been sleeping in the spare room on and off for a few years now and Mr F takes ear plugs if we need to share a room when we're away.
What you might find helpful if you're trying out different remedies is the SnoreLab app. I've got the free version which allows you a free session if you watch an advert (all mine so far have been a static page advertising the premium version!), you can't record two nights in a row and can only look back three sessions (I just screenshot my results), but it's pretty interesting to track your Snore Score and find out what things help and what don't. It rates your snoring as Light, Loud and Epic and you can listen back to a highlights clip if you really want. https://www.snorelab.com/ We've found that if my score is under 10 Mr F can sleep through it, my highest so far is 92...! Currently averaging around the low 40s, so still some work to do.
For facial hair those little pen shaped battery trimmers are good. Also the thick green wax you melt on the stove which comes in a little pot- not the stupid little fabric things with the equivalent of Pritt-stick on .

Always wondered about trying those pen hair remover things. Worry they’ll make the hair grow back stronger and thicker! At the moment I’m plucking my chin every day (43, deffo perimenopausal, hormones all over the shop) - Are they ok in terms of re growth?For facial hair those little pen shaped battery trimmers are good.

I bought one (JML job) and tried it on the fluff on my hand and am v glad I did. I had spikey stubble afterwards. I know that’s not the device’s fault but it made me realise a different removal method was best for me.
They won’t change the actual hairs- what happens is they cut off the very end (which tapers) so it appears thicker when it regrows). It’s a sort of optical illusion.
I’ve got one of those. But the delightful thicker hairs have to be plucked.

Has anyone noticed a change/issue with their muscles? My leg and arm muscles seem so much weaker. Pegging the washing out causes them to ache so quickly I have to keep stopping. Same with my legs - a walk round the block has them feeling really achy and weak.
I get bad pains when I'm washing up or cooking now.
I find this one of the hardest things. I’ve been known to sob from the frustration of feeling “ weak”
I think this is why weight resistance training is recommended. I haven’t done anything about it yet mind but it’s sinking in now and I’m looking into it now. Upper body in particular. My friend is swearing by light weights
Is meno belly a real thing then? I thought I was just getting large!
Can attest to the aches and pains as well - although it's on and off, and thankfully I feel normal a lot of the time. It's awful isn't it? Makes me feel about 102 years old!

I’ve just had an appointment with a lovely lady doctor, yup I’m peri and happy to go down hrt route but I’ve a few things going on…I’m 45
I’ve had left low overy pain, had this Jan too but scan all clear for cysts etc so she didn’t think it’s them again , I’ve ibs and what I believe is a flare up, lots going on, no sleep etc etc back /leg pain
She also mentioned endometriosis, which on reading up on it could be, not made alot of sence here but any ideas ladies?

I'm a lurker here, I too have PCOS and have to shave my chin every day and get quite quick regrowthFor facial hair those little pen shaped battery trimmers are good.

I recently saw a Tic Tok with someone recommending adding a couple of drops of Spearmint (NOT peppermint) essential oil to your daily moisturizer. Don't put it on neat as it will burn. It cost me £10 for a large bottle so even though I was skeptical it wasn't a lot of money, well, honestly I can say it's really helped me and slowed down the regrowth to the point where I can miss a day off shaving some days. Just thought I'd mention it, PCOS is rubbish isn't it?Brill thanks you that’s great to know! I find that spironolactone helps a bit with the hairiness too, as does avoiding sugar. Apparently spearmint and pumpkinseed are anti androgen so I scoff lots! But I’ll try it topically now too xI'm a lurker here, I too have PCOS and have to shave my chin every day and get quite quick regrowth
I do low sugar too, but never heard of spironolactone, so thank you, off to investigate
