For over a decade, women have carefully groomed their body hair, often conforming to societal standards of beauty. However, in recent times, advocates of body positivity have embraced the idea of celebrating a woman’s freedom to choose. Shaving legs and armpits? Some women are saying, “No, thanks!”
Enter Sara Puhto and Bella Davis, two young women leading the charge on Instagram by promoting body positivity and self-love. They proudly show off their “imperfections,” encouraging other women to embrace and love their bodies just as they are, regardless of societal expectations.
“I would never wear a bikini with a full hairy bikini line like this, never, not even if paid. Beyond the gender issues, there are cultural factors too. I was born and raised in the country where the waxing technique originated,” one of them shares.
On the other hand, some people hold a different view: “It’s unhygienic, don’t fool yourselves, just because you don’t want to shave or wax. The rest of your body is fine to keep the hair, but armpit and pubic hair should be removed, at least once a month.”
Meanwhile, some assert, “If you keep it personal, you should be free from judgment. But if you flaunt it publicly, you shouldn’t expect to be immune from criticism.”
Both sides of the debate showcase the ongoing conversation about personal choices, body hair, and the freedom to embrace one’s natural self.
