Don't use them, I tried them like 10 years ago and they broke me out. So I just had a big ugly scab on my upper lip. How embarrassing! I didn't even have any noticeable lip hair, I just thought I did. Thank god my teenage years are over. They were very awkward.

You're better using wax strips - the hair comes out at the roots that way and grows back over a longer period. And it doesn't come back like a beard!

Don't do it!!! I used one once and never ever again.

You may as well be using sandpaper.

It rubs the skin raw. And then afterwards you are left with a really red area that burns like crazy and there isn't anything you can do about it except wait it out. The hair doesn't grow in thicker, but the other problems are worse.

My advice, try Nad's or something similar. It hurts for a second but is so much better in the long run.

Good Luck!

They are hideous!!! Much better to use wax strips, or even pluck with tweezers - anything is better than the pads. They don't only remove the hair, they also remove the top layer of your skin. I ended up with what looked like grazed skin - really painful, and not very attractive either!

Don't use them...they don't work like they say they will.

Try getting it bleached it-professionally! Or waxing is good!

If there's not too much of it, do you really need to do anything? Most guys are OK about women with a slight moustache.

If you do decide you have to do something, then there isn't a simple answer.

Facial (and also body) hair on women comes about in the same way as on men because of

1) your body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many

2) your body producing high levels of testosterone

The growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in your bloodstream.

Steer clear of bleaching -- when someone sees you against the light you'll look as if you have a glowing moustache and/or beard.

As far as removing it is concerned it's worth remembering that

* Waxing, plucking, threading, epilating all pull the hair out by the roots and where the growth is hormonally-driven can actually stimulate a dormant follicle into producing more hair quicker. They also distort the root if done repeatedly, leading to hair growing at strange angles. And you've got to let the hair grow to quite a length before you can repeat the exercise. It can also damage the skin and discolor it. Long-term use of waxing also causes bad wrinkles.

* Chemical depilatories strong enough to remove the hair are very likely to burn the skin, cause swelling and cause long-term discoloration of the skin.

* Laser is also liable to cause burning and discoloration and in any case only works effectively on a dark hair/light skin combinantion.

* Electrolysis is very liable to cause scarring and discoloration of the skin.

Which, like it or not, leaves shaving which does not damage the skin. Best done with a men's-style electric razor, the best of which, for women, are probably those from the men's range of Norelco razors (Philishave outside the US). Most women who try a men's Norelco wonder why nobody ever told them about it before.
