No hair there please
Question
I have dark hairs around my nipples and I just want to get rid of them but don't know how to do it. Should I shave them or would bleaching be a better idea? Please help me, I hate them.
Answer
Most women have a few hairs growing around their nipples. Usually these can be tamed by regularly plucking them out. It's best not to shave them, as this leaves a blunt hair shaft that will grow through, feeling more stubbly and appearing more noticeable.
