My kind of advice is if you are afraid of losing your friends or partner, think about whether you want to live with people for whom you have to pretend to be someone you are not. That’s why I made a post about it on social media. I saw January and thought this is a good thing for woman. I also just wanted to feel the difference between shaving and not shaving, it’s a little more freedom.’ These are some of the other people embracing Januhairy:
Women flaunt their pubic hair on the beach for body positive
Like most females, secretary Sonia Cytrowska (28) from Gdynia, Poland first started to remove her body hair when she was 12 but thanks to airbrushing in magazines and on television, she constantly found herself comparing her hair to other girls who had more or less hair than her. Sonia Cytrowska / mediadrumworld.com It makes me feel like a grown-up. It makes me feel like I’m in control of my life and how I want to be presented. I get to say what I think beauty is. My happy trail is my favorite. I’ll never shave it again because I think it’s so cute. I was looking at other body hair positive accounts and it was much easier for me to start my new, hairy life with support of others, both men and women,” said Sonia. Sonia Cytrowska / mediadrumworld.comYes, I shaved from 5th grade to 12th grade. I started shaving because all of my classmates in elementary school would make fun of me for how hairy I was, saying I looked like the boys in my class (which I didn’t see an issue with because I hung out with all the boys, but I still felt that I needed to shave it off).

At home, with my husband or friends I feel safe and accepted. I can easily show my body hair and it is natural for me,” she added. I wish it were as normal as anything else. Body hair shouldn’t be taboo; women had body hair all through history until the 1900s. It’s not gross, most men have all types of body hair — why is that accepted? I’m taking part to try and break the stigma around women’s body hair. We are conditioned to think it’s not feminine, disgusting and a flaw when in fact it’s natural and a normal body function. I’ve been shaving since I was twelve and all my life I was feeling worse and less worthy than other girls who didn’t have so much hair on their bodies.Yes! I swam and did ballet, so as soon as my hair peeked past the elastic of my underwear, I had my mom take me to get waxed. Hair was NOT accepted at my school. Kids were ruthless and I wasn’t cool. Having hair on display scared me. I have a very light mustache, but the worst people always noticed it. I hated shaving my pits, even though exposing them au naturel terrified me. One day I wore a sweatshirt for an entire dance class even though the radiators were on blast because I had a little bit of pit hair. My biggest dream is to see women shaved and women with unshaved body hair in the streets of big cities. Both accept each other, because what they do with their body is their choice. It turns out that I really like it. I think it’s important to normalise body hair, and remind everyone that it’s a choice. A very common reaction to body hair (usually from men) is that it’s “dirty.” I always try to remind the people who make that comment that they probably don’t think men’s armpits are “dirty” and that my armpit hair doesn’t stop me from showering.
Flesh after 50: The new exhibition celebrating older bodies
If I didn’t keep up with the shaving/hair removal, I felt a deep sense of shame, added to by the male partners who would comment in horror if my leg hair or pubic hair started to grow in.I have not had any trouble with my body hair physically. I haven’t really had any issues with ingrown hairs or anything like that. It’s more of a challenge of how people can’t help but stare or get uncomfortable even though there is a much bigger population of femmes who don’t shave their body hair now. It also makes it harder for me as an actor to break certain molds or fit into the industry. Even though I think now is my time! It is more of a social and professional challenge.

The hardest thing was to accept myself and to feel confident with my hairy body in front of others, even if they whisper and stare at me. It was hard to accept that sometimes people can reject me if they will know how I really look like. Body hair in my society is a taboo”. When I stopped shaving my armpits, I was in art school, surrounded by smart, beautiful, talented, hairy women. It was a safe place for me to make the first step in accepting my hair. I haven’t shaved my pits since 2011. They’re lovely and have the cutest baby curl. I stopped shaving my last year of high school because I was really coming into a new form of myself! I was in love with how I looked with body hair, especially under my armpits, and it was satisfying to do something that felt true to me and was definitely not the norm where I was from. I still got hated on a bit but I felt my queer self staring to expand and be loved by myself.Styled with Sleeper pajama set and Brinker & Eliza earrings Styled with Sleeper pajama set and Brinker & Eliza earrings I choose not to shave because I find myself beautiful and it’s very comfortable to live that way but of course days where I question why I choose to fight with all these beauty standards and ask why I am so stubborn. I receive a lot of messages from women who are at the very point where I was one year ago. I talk with them, sometimes we send pics and we support each other.
