Hair in unnecessary places...?

When I was little, I was lenient to personal hygenine. So, hair started to grow on my stomach and chest. I didn't think anything of it since I was only 7 at the time. But now, all my friends have their stomachs out with thir bikinis and stuff and I can't do that because of hair. I've tried shaving and stuff but it's a hassle. Is their anyway I could reverse this besides laser hair removal or Nair and stuff?
