I’m a hairy girl & love showing off my armpit hair – people try to make me uncomfortable, but I’m learning not to care
MANY women are attempting to change the face of beauty.
And they are first starting off with how we view female body hair.
For years, women have been waxing and shaving to get rid of the hairs on their armpits to their legs.
But there’s a new wave of females who are making body hair more visible in popular culture.
From celebrities to regular people – it feels like everyone is joining in.
One woman in particular goes by the name of wikiriot on TikTok.
She has over 17k TikTok followers and often posts videos showing off her underarm.
But in one particular video, the influencer revealed how she sometimes may get uncomfortable showing it off in the gym.
Filming herself working out, she wrote: “I always covered my armpit hair at the gym because I was afraid somebody could see it.
“But you know what f**k it!”
She then captioned the video: “Am I the only one?
“Usually I am so comfortable with my body hair. But at the gym it’s a completely different thing. Don’t know why.”
The video attracted lots of attention, with many rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “Why do some of these women think this is a movement? Y’all thinking you did something.”
Another expressed: “Or just shave it.”
A third said: “I’m a man and I also shave my armpits because when you get sweaty it just stinks and it isn’t even pleasing to look at.”
Someone else wrote: “If ya’ll boys wanna complain abt it I wanna see you get waxed and shave every week from neck to toe (SIC).”
A fifth said: “Wow so rebellious? It’s still basic hygiene to shave, also for men. It’s just to prevent odour and feel clean.”
