Before I ask what I want, let say that even though it is an odd question, it is hard to research! Nose Hairs.....what do you ladies do to get rid of them? Will they go away the longer I am on hormones? They are annoying and I (probably along with others) don't exactly know what to do!

I thought about that too, and found a place that includes nasal hair in their laser 'packages'. I suppose they just stick the gun there somehow and voilà, gone. But right now I just pluck: hurts a bit, but most of it goes away, and actually my breathing improved (funny, I know). It's one of those things nobody talks about but many have to deal with.

I wax them. Warm wax on a Q-tip. I clean the nares first with saline solution, then dip the Q-tip into the warm wax. Place it in the area and twist slightly. Then yank.

Clean for at least a week. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-3.gif&hash=f49e2f86761323f2abd9c33941920389dbb3b10f)

It has, but a pair of tweezers can get out the wax. Plus I just remove the ones in the corners.

I find the plucking to be significantly less painful over time.

I use a philips trimmer for ears, brows and nose (18€).

Totally worth it. Specially for the brows.

I pluck, and I've found that removal of nose hair has actually improved my hay fever, I guess less hair for dust and pollen to adhere to reduces the effects of hay fever.
I'm going to have to try the q-tip with wax, that sounds like a really quick solution to a monthly problem.
