@stoppit&tidyup:
You’re right, it definitely sounds like a normal plucking cycle, and without doubt I should definitely be seeing results by now as I haven’t plucked ONCE since I’ve started going for treatment, so surely she must have got all of the hairs by now too. And, like I keep saying, I really don’t think I’ve seen any reduction in the number or hairs. I think I may have to start going elsewhere, but I don’t think there is another practitioner in my immediate area, so I might have to go to the next town.
How should I tell her I no longer want treatment? I know it’s silly, but I don’t want to offend her :S
And thanks for your thoughts on laser. I can see what you’ve said about the surrounding hairs being very true.
@dfahey:
I started treatment mid-November last year, and have been going once every two weeks without fail. So come this Wednesday, 28th April 2010 (one day before my birthday!!), I’ve had about 12 treatments.
I can confidently say that all the hairs are always removed by the end of the session. I never get ingrown hairs (and if I do, they are very easy to just scrape out with a nail) and I’ve never plucked since I have started treatment, so there’s never an issue with hairs that aren’t fully grown yet for her to see.

Thank you so much for your kind words! =)
I know that what men (and women!) always say that what is most attractive in the opposite sex is confidence, which is why it really sucks that I’m not, because I want to be. So desperately. This whole hairy nipple drama has really affected my whole confidence since I hit puberty really.
As big headed as its sounds, I am a fairly attractive girl, and when I was younger, boys in high school could never understand why I never wanted to get close to them or have a boyfriend, or have sex, and it was always because I’d think, “Yeah, you THINK I’m pretty, but if you only knew the truth =(” And I think like that now when people pay me a compliment. I go all shy and awkward and want to leave.
But then luckily, I found my lovely boyfriend, who I just somehow knew would be nice enough to just accept me the way I am. And like I said, no matter how much he says he loves me the way I am, I’m just convinced that if he ever did see (or touch!) one of these little hairs, inside, he’d actually be really repulsed, and maybe didn’t expect it to be that gross. I’d be devastated if it happened. I don’t like him touching my boobs sometimes. I get really cross and flip over on my front (in bed) so he can’t get to them. It’s so stupid and mean. I love him to bits and I just really need to get over this. Your words really have reminded me of this fact to be honest. So thank you , again x x

They are countable =( This is really embarrassing but…I can count around 9 on each nipple, and there’s still 6 days until my next appointment, so there’ll probably be more by then. And no, I have only ever tweezed before. No shaving or cutting or anything like that. Tweezing used to give me really bad ingrown hairs too. Since having electrolysis I haven’t had any like that again.
