Female Body Hair Positivity<\/h2>\r\nBody hair is normal for all, including women and genderqueer folks. Yet it\u2019s often a subject of critique for anyone who’s not a man, due to an outdated belief that body hair isn’t compatible with femme beauty. But thankfully, there are folks on Instagram\u2014like Nude Nora<\/a> and Shari Siadat<\/a>\u2014who use their platforms to challenge that notion. No matter where it grows, the message is clear: Body hair is nothing to be ashamed of.\r\n\r\nWhile we love a socially prevalent trend, we\u2019re suckers for seeing how it plays out in real life. For that reason, we chatted with a few women on what it\u2019s like to embrace their body hair.\r\n\r\nKeep reading for inspiration for body hair positivity and to celebrate beauty beyond conformity.\r\n

3 Women Discuss Embracing Body Hair<\/h2>\r\n

Kelsey, 25<\/h3>\r\n\u201cTruthfully, as a cis straight woman who feels like a feminine appearance is a constant battle, my body hair still makes me insecure,\u201d Kelsey admits.\u00a0\u201cI have high testosterone for a woman<\/a>, and I am a pale person who inherited dark body hair from my dad. (Thanks, genes!)\r\n

Hair Removal History<\/h4>\r\n\u201cAs someone who has been shaving since middle school (first my arm hair, then my lady ‘stache, then my lady sideburns), it’s exhausting. It only got worse as I grew older and also developed a lady beard. I have been shaving, plucking, [and] using hair removal products. After college, I even tried laser hair removal and skin-safe bleaches.\r\n

On Learning How to Embrace Body Hair<\/h4>\r\n\u201cMy first romantic partner shamed me for my dark body hair. Later in life, a different partner asked me what my pubic hair would look like if I let it grow; he’d never previously had a partner with a body like mine. I was humiliated because again, I felt othered. His own body had less hair that was also lighter than mine. [However,] he explained that my body hair was actually a turn on for him because it made me more of a woman in his eyes. Later, he became the first partner I lived with, so it was impossible to shave before every naked encounter<\/a>. In that way, I grew accustomed to him seeing me as I was, and felt more comfortable going longer stretches of time without shaving.\r\n\r\n\u201cI know it’s a lame story to say that some partner helped me come to terms with my body. But after being told by my family members, friends, and previous partners that my body hair was something to be ashamed of, it truly helped to be around someone who wasn’t affected by it.\r\n\r\n\u201cAdditionally, I have a lot of friends in the queer community who let their hair grow out. Seeing body hair on all bodies allows others to feel more comfortable with their own. I also have friends with PCOS<\/a> who consider themselves cis and straight. They, like me, present feminine and struggle with thick, dark body hair.\r\n

Lady’s Choice<\/h4>\r\n\u201cI still shave, and that is my personal choice. But I’m a lot more lax about it. I’m also less insecure about the fact that I can shave at night and wake up hairy the very next day (although it is exhausting). I make jokes about my \u2018pelt\u2019 and my lady beard all the time with friends and my partner. That helps me normalize and come to terms with my body hair.\r\n

Relfections<\/h4>\r\n\u201cThe moral of the story is to be around people who either don’t care what your body looks like, or who are attracted to you regardless. And that applies to anything: Some people like certain body types, and you will never please everyone. If you are around people who make you feel bad about your body\u2014in any capacity\u2014leave that environment.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe other moral is that people literally don’t notice. Nobody knew I had a lady beard until I would bring it up with my female friends as a point of insecurity. [Yet] to me, it was so obvious! My arm hair that freaked me out in middle school hasn’t bothered me in years; I never think about it anymore. Sometimes we build our insecurities up<\/a> in our own head.\u201d\r\n\r\n\"Kactus\r\n

KACTUS KUTIE<\/a>, 27<\/h3>\r\n\u201cI’m a boudoir photographer and sex worker; I see a lot of different types of beautiful bodies,\u201d Kactus shares. \u201cIn 2016, I photographed a model with body hair for the first time, and I was instantly entranced and inspired. She radiated confidence, beauty, womanhood, and rebellion. She embraced the natural hair her body gave her and she WERKED it!\r\n

On Letting it Grow<\/h4>\r\n\u201cA month later, I decided to grow my armpit hair during No Shave November. I loved it so much that I haven’t shaved my armpit hair since then. Also, in the past few years, I’ve grown out my leg hair and my bush hair. Not only do I love the natural look (and so do my fans), but it’s also less work. I don’t have to shave every few days, making my body feel prickly to the touch.\r\n\r\n\u201cI joined an uplifting community of other hairy babes in the sex-work world in the last year. We hype each other up, engage in each other’s posts on social media<\/a>, and we’re here for each other! I’ve never experienced so much love, compassion, beauty, and confident expression.\r\n

On Combating Stigma<\/h4>\r\n\u201cThis community and my fans have made me feel so much more beautiful in my own skin, unlike where I used to live. I lived in a small town where I stuck out like a sore thumb with my colorful split-dye hair, armpit hair, leg hair, and kute, trendy fashion. I tried to \u2018act normal,\u2019 or even above and beyond, so that the people at the grocery store [would] see me as kind, respectful, professional, and a put-together person.\r\n\r\n\u201cAs a hairy woman, it’s hard to constantly fight the stigma of what I look like so that people will hopefully see me in a \u2018better light.\u2019 But I’m happy to be a part of the fight. Let us women decide what’s beautiful to us<\/a>!\u201d\r\n\r\nFor more commentary on embracing body hair, check out her appearance on Candy Girl\u2019s podcast<\/a>.<\/em>\r\n\r\n\"Woman\r\n

Jessica, 33<\/h3>\r\n\u201cI stopped shaving when I was 19,\u201d Jessica shares. \u201cInitially, I was emulating the punk rock body politics of older women in my crowd. I wanted to fit in. But dipping your toe in that sort of freedom\u2014after years of being told all the ways you need to correct your body\u2014feels really good. Sometimes I forget that feeling of freedom.\u201d\r\n\r\nAfter someone commented on her pits a few years ago, Jessica gave her take on why she prefers to embrace her body hair. The women then responded \u201cwith some good advice I\u2019ll never forget: \u2018You don\u2019t need an excuse to do want you want with your body. It\u2019s yours.\u2019\u201d\r\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\r\nThe moral of the story? Body hair is beautiful.\r\n\r\nFor so long, female body hair has been stigmatized, making women who have fast-growing or darker body hair feel as though they must, without question, remove it to be considered beautiful.\r\n\r\nBut the body hair movement has something to say about that.\r\n\r\nIf growing out body hair is your jam, by all means, feel free to do so and flaunt it proudly. If styling or removing your body hair is your preference, that’s cool, too. At the end of the day, it’s all about body hair positivity\u2014whether you want to keep it, shave it, wax it, or laser it off, it’s up to you.\n
