Moustaches on ladies...

Okay, ladies, first let me say I'm not quite ready
for Barnum & Bailey, but I've noticed what I consider to be longer growth of hair in the moustache area. Not dark, but light blonde, so that when I'm in the sunshine at a certain angle it really lights up and makes me self conscious.

So, thinking I must just be getting older and this was part of life, I shaved it. Bad mistake.

On down the line, I ignored it for the most part,
but here it came again. This time I decided to use
Nair. I smeared it on my moustache and even down the sides for any hair getting a wise idea. Before the time elapsed for hair removal, I was screaming down the hall to get it off! It was burning! I wiped it off, some hair came with it, and ended up with a week's worth of irritated skin in the moustache area.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I decided to use
a sugar wax. Having never experienced a waxing on any part of my body, I proceeded with caution. I was pleasantly surprised, actually, and felt it was
relatively painless. Wa-la! Baby smooth skin and no moustache!

Just a few days later an entire parade of tiny bubbles appeared on my moustache.

What is one to do????

Now here it is almost healed, my acne moustache is just about gone. I've tried three times to
find a reasonable hair removal. Can anyone suggest a good product or idea?

Duct tape and tweezers are out of the question, please.

im sorry but..........hahahahaha!

i have that prob too so im not poking fun, but it sounds like u've tried everything to no avail.

how about laser hair removal? or u could try threading if ur up for it.

haha.. barnum and bailey... thats funny.. ok.. so the moustache thing.. it sucks.. for me- being an italian girl who was blessed with much unwanted hair... i tried waxing and also got the little bubbles.. which were not good.. nair .. yes it BURNS A LOT! the tweezing is actually the only thing that works for me.. yes it sounds painful.. one... hair.... at ....a ...time lol... but it gets the job done! actually.. my "technique" is to use some ice to numb the area a little.. then i use a 10x magnification mirror (yeahh it takes some geting used to) and pluck away! when i look in a regular mirror it looks reallly good. and it lasts for up to two weeks. and it gets thinner.. weird huh? o well thought i''d put in my 2 cents!

I use the jolens bleach creme on mine too. It's the perfect soloution for me but I have to say it does feel a little tingley and burny and does sometimes cause me one or two tiny spots. That said I have VERY sensitive skin and absolutely anything else leaves me in unbearable agony. I think it's worth it though because the spots are only little and clear up after a few days plus it does indeed last a long time but since your problem is with the legnth I'd say go with the facial trimmer the other girl mentioned

Electrolysis is the only way to permanently remove hair.

If I had that problem I would get laser or electrolysis.
Why even bother with other methods.

I would suggest electrolysis. Make sure they are liscensed. It should be approx $1 a minute depending on where you live.
Trust me on this one. I am Greek and waxed for 10 years before discovering this one. Bleach is good for in between sessions, but if you have a lot of hair it just showcases your mustache to bleach.
The only permanant solution approved by the fda is electrolysis, which costs similar to waxing, but after a few sessions your hair is so much finer.
I spend maybe $100 over 5 years on my mustache with electrolysis and now I don't need to go, I just bleach it every once in awhile, but I used to spend $10 every other month on waxing and it used to grow back.

P.S. don;t use wax if you use accutane or any retin a like products even if you don't use them on the mustache because your skin will come off with the wax in strips.
