I have thick dark hair in all places that grows pretty fast... I usually shave day of work but if I have to work 2 nights in a row or even skip a night and work the next then my hair is noticeable but too short to shave again. Any suggestions??

get an epilator! it has literally saved my life. It takes a few times to get used to the pain, but it is so worth it. I never bought one before cuz I thought it couldn't handle my coarse bikini area hair, but its no problem. It also takes out really short hairs so you never have to have stubble
Since I am a chicken and wax/ epilator isn't working, I got my live saver: An IPL hair removal device.
I have Philips Lumea (something like this, but I am from Europe so models vary https://www.amazon.com/Philips-BRI95...=philips+lumea)
It changed my life.
You have to use it at every 2 weeks, first 5-6 usages, till the hair is completely gone (in my case, I was still having areas with hair, of a coin size, mostly because I was probably skipping that area during the process and on my labia areas, since I had to use on lowest level, the hair takes a lot to dissapear, but the V bush is gooone!).
After those 5-6 usages at every 2 weeks, you only need to do it once per month (they say at 2 months tho) to prevent hair to grow back. Somehow, I was THAT lazy, that I forgot to do it for 8 months and the hair grew back. But this week I start the process again. It's funny because the process of "shooting" the areas takes maximum 30 minutes ( probably 1 hour if you do your forearms and tighs too. I only do armpits, genital areas and calves).
It doesn't hurt, you only feel something warm, for a split second.
Keep in mind that is not reccomended to use it during summer, so, make sure u start doing it now, if you opt for it. Also, if you are pregnant/ breastfeeding, you have to wait.
Hope it helps.
PS: In my case, as I said, it didn't completely removed the hair, but the hair tht still grows here and there got really thin.

Update:
I looked on amazon.uk, since the one I shown you on amazon.com has only one review. In case you want to read more user reviews.
So, here's the one I shown you in the example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-Pre...ps+lumea&psc=1
And this is what I currently have: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-SC2...ps+lumea&psc=1

Laser hair removal if you can afford it. Its expensive upfront but saves money in the long run compared to waxing or whatever and you don't have to go through that gross process of waiting for hair to grow 1/4 inch before getting waxed. I don't have any experience with the epilators or other at home things so I cant say how it compares.



I have a braun silk epil 5. It is wet/dry and comes with some attachments





I Nair. Be careful to scrub all of it off & moisturizer after you use the chemical cream. It can irritate skin if left on too long....
Edit to add- I used an Epilator when I was younger but my hair would just grow back rapidly. Nair is faster & not painful if you wash it off thoroughly...

It would be appropriate to visit a dermatologist.
