As humans, we all strive to look and feel our best. However, society has long held certain beauty standards that can be difficult to meet.
One of the most significant examples is the expectation for women to be hairless. But some women embrace their body hair and reject these societal expectations of femininity. Let’s go on a ride to explore the journey of several ladies who have gained confidence and self-love by doing just that.
1. “Normalizing hairy bodies one selfie at a time.”
2. “I went out in public in a skirt for the first time since I stopped shaving my legs. It was a little scary but exhilarating. No one noticed, to my knowledge.”
3. “Shaving is just overrated.”
4. “Feeling pretty”
5. “About to leave for a date, but I’m hoping they don’t mind I don’t shave.”
6. “Imagine if everyone just decided that today was the day they loved themselves and embraced every part of themselves.”
7. Bella Thorne is proud of her legs.

12. Having body hair as a female is completely natural and normal.
13. “Getting confident for summer?”
14. “Not the best pic but I loved subtly showing off my hairy legs this Christmas.”
15. Beth Ditto is an icon when it comes to body positivity.
