About using a razor: just use an eyebrow razor! I use persona eyebrow razors for shaping. It's the closest you get & much safer than plucking. They're very sharp, so be sure to glide along the skin. Don't point the sharp edge at your skin. Hopefully you understand.

Best way is to remove hair from breast is remove hair from root so next time it wil not grow. It will pain a little then next time it will be good. Dont use razor by using razor orblade it grows 10x faster then normal. Hope u would like it. Best of luck to u all.

@ pussy : Sorry, but that's false. Shaved hair grows back no faster than any other kind of hair. It only seems like it because you *notice* its growth, unlike, for instance, a hair on your head, where it's hard to tell when it grows a few centimeters. Think about it, it makes no sense for that to happen since the hair grows from the root and shaving doesn't affect the root. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/hair-removal/faq-20058427

@ Nope : @ Nope Yes shaving does cause it to grow faster.....it does for most woman, I will say. The five woman in my household are all this way. If it doesn't for you, then that's awesome, you are one of a kind. More power to you and your offspring!!! Plucking is best, it will not grow back in the same area at all or for a very long time. Do not shave, it DOES cause to grow back faster and thicker!!!

@ Ugh : I doesn't as it only looks that way, though some don't mind it, as the plan shaving whatever happens, then they don't bother with verifying it ;).

@nope EXACTLY that's why shaved hair does grow back faster because it's already at the surface so it comes out first a plucked hair has 2 grow back out from the root so it will take longer @pussy is correct

@ Cakes : The correct word is then sooner, not faster. As they grow back at the same speed, when they start to show. They *show* faster.

@ Antonymous : They grow faster too, as the hair plucked out is not growing at all, it can be then said that one is growing at a faster rate then the other as long as it gets there first, doesn't matter ....you are all ridiculous, correcting grammar, English, spelling????? this is not helpful to the topic!!! And even if it did not grow faster, everyone obviously knows what she is talking about, except you so please stop correcting people, or go teach in a classroom if it is that important to you. Sorry ladies, the gull of some people........thank you @ Cakes and @ Ugh for being decent people

@ Perch : Well it's not just a detail perch, but I accept corrections. If I point out a detail it doesn't mean the other is ignorant.

I do not recommend plucking out single hairs with the tweezers! My problem started a few months ago when I had about 5 stray hairs and I read on other blogs to pluck the single hairs on your breasts with a tweezers and right after a hot shower is best. I woke up the next morning with 5 painful infected hair follicles/ingrown hairs on my chest and now I have twice as many hairs on my chest. Gently shaving them works best for me. Unsure of the cause as I'm in my mid 30's and not going through menopause quite yet, spoke to obgyn and she said it's normal.
