Once we reach a certain age, women tend to have our hair removal systems on lock. For example, at 51, I'm highly unlikely to switch razor brands, no matter how great a new company's claims (Venus Comfort Glide for life!). But, while we may have our shaving and waxing preferences set, during menopause, our hair — and hair needs — change.

As hormones shift, body hair may grow less quickly and become more sparse. At the same time, you may notice hair cropping up in places you never expected it — like out of your nostrils. In addition, while eyebrows and eyelashes may begin to thin, chin whiskers and mustaches often become more dense. You can chalk all of this up to the indignities of aging (and also things no one talks about!), but the truth is, with new hair problems, we need new solutions.

This week I've rounded up three truly helpful hair-removal devices for women over 50. I've tried all three and can confirm that they made getting rid of unwanted hair easier, helped smooth out my skin and allowed me to look less like a hirsute Broom-Hilda overall.

This handy hair-removing doodad is ideal if you have sparse leg, armpit and bikini line hair growth and don't want the hassle of a razor to achieve optimal smoothness (girls of a certain age, you know who you are). It also works if you're looking to touch up a rushed shave job (I see you, ankle hair). And it's especially excellent for removing the fuzz from one's armpits, an area that can be tricky with conventional razors. Users report that it travels well and cuts down on razor burn, nicks and cuts. But beware: Reviewers also say it works best with a light touch — too much force can cause skin irritation.  

"Is this the best-kept secret or what?" exclaimed one five-star reviewer. "I had a day two shave, so already some stubble, which I was skeptical this thing could handle. Oh boy did it! Because it's exfoliating dead skin at the same time, it's better than a day zero shave! For [under] $10 and ease of use (especially while traveling) this thing is def worth it!"

Let's say your menopausal lady mustache is growing in thicker than Tom Selleck's, and you're starting to look a bit like you're auditioning to solve a crime on Magnum PI. Or perhaps your once-smooth underchin has begun sprouting hard-to-pluck whiskers faster than kudzu and you're starting to feel like a feral bearded witch.

This gentle, affordable, thorough face shaver will save you hours of tweezer time. It's elegantly designed and effective, and right now, you can pick up the handy device at more than 50% off.

This ultra-portable, pen-size shaver eradicates unwanted facial hair with the touch of a button. The clever dual-head design works in a flash on unwanted nose and ear hair (it's good for brow touch-ups and one-off chin whiskers too, though it's too narrow to tackle larger swaths like a full mustache). 

I actually keep one of these in my car to zap unruly black strands whenever they unexpectedly appear. Another cool feature? The TouchBeauty is waterproof, so you can use it in the shower while you're waiting for your conditioner to set.

For decades, Tend Skin has been the go-to product for preventing ingrown hairs and razor bumps — there's truly nothing better on the market. After straying from the treatment for years, I re-upped on Tend Skin this summer before vacation, specifically for my bikini line, which tends to become a bumpy, itchy mess after I shave or wax. Once I started applying Tend Skin to the area, the entire issue was resolved! I'll probably never shave without it again.
