If you shave it, you're going to end up with itchy stubble -- and possibly red bumps -- on your tummy, which is even more noticeable (and annoying!) than hair. You could try bleaching it or using a depilatory like Nair, but according to David Sire, M.D., of Fullerton, CA, an effective long-term solution is laser hair removal. It usually takes two to four treatments, but the results last about a year. Check with your doctor.
