Fitness Blogger Reveals What Happens When You Don’t Shave Legs And Pits For 1 Year To Promote Natural Beauty

Though women’s liberation movement started around the 1960s in Europe, we still need to put in a lot of effort to reach the real gender equality. And ladies, being creative creatures, can find many ways to attract the attention to their problems. One of those ways is the new trend of hairy women, and Morgan is one of these brave ladies.
Fitness blogger Morgan Mikenas probably saves a fortune in razors. She also apparently has a lot more free time than many of us. Why? Because to promote natural beauty, the fitness model and blogger has gone an entire year without shaving her body, and here are the results of her au naturel hair trend experiment.
“I’m not trying to make all of humanity stop shaving their hairy armpits and leg hair anymore,” said Morgan in a clip she posted to YouTube recently. “I just want to inspire others [to do] what works for you, what makes you feel the most comfortable.” Citing time as the number one reason behind her decision to stop shaving body hair, she was also inspired to let it grow out after being bullied in gym class when she was 11 or 12 for having hairy legs. She decided to embrace her natural beauty instead of subscribing to what society expects of her, and she says that her boyfriend likes it and thinks that she looks beautiful either way. “I want everybody not to feel ashamed of themselves,” she said. “I think it’s unfair that people think they have to be in this cultural norm. Just do whatever makes you feel good.” It might not be for everybody, but kudos to Morgan for standing up for what she believes in. Check out the full video on YouTube, which has already been viewed over 200k times.

Shaving your legs and armpits takes a lot of time and effort
So fitness blogger Morgan Mikenas decided to stop shaving her body for a year
“I’m not trying to make all of humanity stop shaving their armpits and leg hair anymore,” she said
“I just want to inspire others [to do] what works for you, what makes you feel the most comfortable”
The main reason she stopped is that shaving takes so much time
She was also inspired to let it grow out after being bullied at school for having hairy legs
“I want everybody not to feel ashamed of themselves”
“I think it’s unfair that people think they have to be in this cultural norm”
“Just do whatever makes you feel good”
What do you think? Would you give it a try?

So downvote away, but as an experiment, I've tried growing out my body hair, and it didn't make me feel liberated at all. In fact the process is itchy, and makes me sweat more. I found in the end, I just don't like body hair on men OR women. It's just a preference, to each their own, but I'm personally turned off by lots of body hair regardless of gender.
I actually agree with you. I'm a lesbian, so I haven't been conditioned by men to think any kind of way towards women. But for me personally, one of the things I love about a woman's body is how soft and smooth her skin is. I'm all for equality, but I like that women AREN'T like men, the sense that they shave their bodies. It's also a preference, just like there are some straight women who prefer a clean shaved male face, to a bearded one.
You're kidding yourself if you actually believe that because you're a lesbian you haven't been conditioned to think in a sexist way about women. We live in a patriarchal society and we are bombarded from birth with imagery and opinions of how women should behave and present. I’m lesbian too but I know I have ingrained misogyny and I challenge myself on it constantly.
I don't think being lesbian automatically makes you immune to male influence... Sadly so much of male ideas is so ingrained in our society that you're influenced without knowing it.
Yes you are conditioned by society it is deep in your brain even when you don't think so.
Women are like men we are all hairy ! Hundreds of years ago all human couldnt shave and everyone was hairy all over (yes even the face) its a genuine fact!
"I'm a lesbian, so I haven't been conditioned by men to think any kind of way towards women." This is one of the saddest and funniest things I've read in this thread. Please, tell me you weren't serious in writing this. "But for me personally, one of the things I love about a woman's body is how soft and smooth her skin is. I'm all for equality, but I like that women AREN'T like men, the sense that they shave their bodies. " Say what? So you're saying that you aren't really a lesbian but that you are actually attracted to people who have smooth skin and shave their bodies? Because I hope you understand that if women were really that different from men we wouldn't _need_ to shave our bodies. We wouldn't have that hair in the first place, now would we?
I am not a lesbian but having a father who ditched us when I was 12 I wasn't in awe with men. Even though my Grandfather and Uncle (on my Dad's side) stepped up to the plate. But men in general as I aged struck me as nobody to be impressed by. Flirting to me is all about them and sometimes insulting. However, like the others are saying it is still hard not to notice that we are a Patriarchal society. I do appreciate indoor plumbing and cities like Rome and Manhattan and find I do have to go a little easy on them. Bless their hearts. But as far as body hair I find it very unattractive. Even on my fiance and ex husband I am not a beard or mustache fan. When I meet God I want to ask what happened at the Round Table when they were all discussing how to create the human body.
Plenty of women have naturally smooth skin without shaving. So of cause you weren't conditioned by men. However, sexual selection is a thing, and it is the process that drove the differences between men and women, which are now huge, including brain size, intelligence, behavior, sexual organs, hormones, physical strength, appearance, etc.

Lesbo should be put down
Yeah, i couldn't do it for long either. I felt it encouraged more odorous sweating too. If others don't care about the hair, good for them. But i'm with you, i generally don't like excessive body hair on either gender. Especially underarm hair. Yes, i am silently judging you if your underarm hair is peeking out of your tank top, guys.
@Shauday oh it does! And I attempted this in the winter months, I can't imagine the summer! And for people who argue "well the hair serves a purpose, it keeps away bacteria yada yada" yeah, it served a purpose in the middles ages, if you live i a developed country where soap and water are readily available, it serves no purpose, and there's no excuse to walk around smelling funky! lol
My underarm hair isn't real. Just kidding.

@Amanda Panda You do realise you're contradicting yourself, right? Also, no - hair doesn't lead to more sweating. Otherwise I guess you shave your head too in order not "encourage more odorous sweating" (to quote Shauday, whom you apparently agree with) on your head. No? Then perhaps it's time you stopped rationalising your behaviour and just owned up to the fact that your likes and dislikes are very much a product of societal norms and have little to nothing to do with any rational reasons.
Strong disagree. I would like to preface that I'm transgender , so I have had experience with this social norm of shaving and I found it very annoying. I only found body hair itchy when it's really short but otherwise it's fine. I'm fine with it on whomever, just trim it. Women don't look "manly" with body hair since it's significantly thinner. Women shaving like that is a recent thing, and I'm not surprised considering it's a pain in the ass.
Amanda Panda, you're lucky! I'm of French extraction and it takes me a lot longer than two minutes once a week to shave! It's every day or it's major stubble.
@Felicia Dale, I guess in that context I am lucky. I'm half Dutch and Half italian, I guess when it came to body hair, I took on the Dutch side, light color, very fine. My sister on the other hand, bless her heart, dark, and coarse.
@Markus Like I said, its my preference, you have your own, as you are also entitled to your opinion. I imagine if you are transitioning from MTF its a lot more hair to shave, and even if its FTM the hormones would create ADDITIONAL hair to shave. Not all women find shaving to be a time consuming pain. It takes me all of 2 minutes, once a week to shave. Being clean shaven makes me feel more hygienic. I know women who spend more time plucking their eyebrows than they do shaving. But to each their own.
It could also be the name of the anime character that's your profile photo. Never know.
+Marioara Popescu As a lesbian, you make me feel embarrassed, you can't just 'turn lesbian' wth??
*begin sarcasm* But she did it because of the smell, that's a completely normal reason to "turn lesbian", didn't you know? I think that's in the official rulebook. You really should go to the meetings more often. *end sarcasm* :) :)
But of course, just sharing my opinion. I'm FTM and don't shave (except my face) if you were trying to pinpoint that at all. If I was MTF I probably wouldn't be going under a male name.
Eyy yo. Just adding my unsolicited two cents, Markus. I was actually wondering as well if it was MTF or FTM. Your user name isn't necessarily indicative of your transitioning experience. "Master Markus" could be a band name for all we know. Pretty sure Amanda isn't a Panda, although I'm not certain :)
@Marioara women don't always smell fresher. This may be TMI (and this is another reason why I prefer clean shaven women), I dated a girl who was all natural, I respected it, she was a vegan, the hippy free spirited type. She also didn't believe in tampons. I don't think I need to say more than that ... it's just a mess. If you wanna grow all your body hair out, I respect that, but you have to also respect that you are going to be denied oral often.
i personally hate hairs!!! i can never be comfortable with bare legs if they're not 100% hairless, even at home. but hey!! to each their own
and also, " I just don't like body hair on men OR women. It's just a preference, to each their own, but I'm personally turned off by lots of body hair regardless of gender." agree 100%
Eh, yes - _the process_ is itchy. Having hair outgrown is _not_ itchy. Or do you really try to tell yourself that a natural state of having body hair is itchy? Is having hair on your head itchy? How about your eyebrows and eyelashes? Do they itch? And why in the world would you suppose that not shaving your body hair would automatically make you feel liberated? Feeling liberated by opposing negative societal norms isn't something that happens on its own - it requires time, lots of hard work, a pretty steady feminist analysis and either lots of support from others who share insights into a feminist analysis or a huge sense of independence. If you have the latter though, odds are that you never actually started to shave.
It's your body, whatever makes you comfortable/happy is good, just remember having body hair is completely natural and not shameful.
No downvote from me, I agree with you. I'm 62 y/o and still shave my legs, my armpits, my bikini area. Like you, I found it to be too itchy to leave the hair au naturel.
In my experience, it's not so bad after it's grown out for a while (for the first little while it is itchy, though).
Well im a guy and hate having hairy body lol i shave almost everything, i coudlnt date a girl who had hairy body lol its stupid but thats jsut me being honest being with someone means being attracted to them and i just dont find hair attractive at all. on myself, on others, on anyone lol personal preference my skin looks and feels SO much better Shaven like for Real but in alot sense theres a sense of the opposite standard for guys like people say your not a woman unless you shave the same people say were not mainly if we dont have hair lol in the end do what feels best to you and dont listen to what other people want from you
true Im a guy who's considering laser reduction. Its so annoying, hair everywhere!
As a man with a very hairy body I agree! Every few months that I clean up and it involves back and neck and etc and talkes half a day, I feel like I have been given a new life. Sadly in a week the f***ing hair grows back!!!
e
It also will make scabs not heal as fast.

This is why I turned lesbian (from bisexual). I just couldn't stand the smell anymore. Unshaved people are used to it and think they don't smell, but they stink so bad!
Sure. You "turned lesbian" because of the smell, that's totally legit.
Well, what ever makes you happy... It's your body. :)
This! This is the point everyone else is missing going "I don't like it on her/me" etc. You don't like it on her? Doesn't matter. You don't like it on you? Don't have it.
I like your comment. What I was trying to explain is that it's not about sticking up for girls or standing up to men, it's about COMFORT. If you like it, go ahead, if you don't, then don't do it. It has nothing to do with what any man thinks. And you shouldn't be saying I'm doing it because this man doesn't like it or I'm doing it because the man wants it. You should be thinking about yourself, not the way others think of you!
Right? I really don't like all the downvotes on the comments that say they're not into so much hair. That's ok. Not everybody has to like it. These comments aren't even overly offensive, yet they're downvoted to hell.
I don't think people are missing the point. I think they are just expressing how it makes them feel. Isn't that the point of her posting it online? If she didn't want to evoke feelings in people she would have done it for herself. But she didn't. She posted about it.
Hair is natural, and that goes with me.
Ajdin Klisura, I think you're completely missing the point here. The article clearly says that she isn't trying to make humanity stop shaving their legs. Had you read the article, I'm sure you'd know that. Also, about the beauty, quit stereotyping! To all Pandas reading this, I'm replying to Ajdin, not Hazel or dancing to myself.
EXACTLY! ex-fvcking-actly
Really? Are there actually millions of women who love hairy legs and arm pits but are just shaving for other people? I doubt it

the thing is that it doesn't need to be promoted like something every other woman should do. it is natural, but it is not beauty.
She's still attractive to me. Very pretty woman. Would take a lot to make her unappealing and body hair just doesn't do that. If it were real long and covered her like a dog to wear you couldn't see her features anymore then maybe. Otherwise perfectly fine.
She is a extraordinary beautiful girl, no question. But to be honest, the hair is not my taste at all.
We've been conditioned to it not being our taste. I'm actually kind of bothered by the fact that I don't like it.
I agree that I am a little disappointed in my buy in to hairless = beauty... but I do love when my legs are smooth
I'll happily not shave for a couple of days but it will always get to a point where it really annoys me, not because its ugly but because I like feeling smooth. I'm sure most girls will agree how nice it feels getting into bed with freshly shaved legs haha. As with bikini, I find it extremely uncomfortable to be really hairly - I honestly have no idea how people have the patience. With the girl in the post, I don't have an issue with the hair, at least not armpit - its that the hair looks uneven on the legs that makes it look a bit odd for me
I would be willing to bet that it's not a conditioned response rather an inherent response. It's just a guess but I have a strong hunch that if ten babies (or youngsters anyway) were shown photos of hairy versus hairless they would choose hairless just as they choose a more traditionally "attractive" face over an "unattractive" face. There are social norms that are simply because human nature has a built in internal desire or distaste. I'm not necessarily saying this is one of those things but why did women start shaving in the first place? It's not like there's a lot of media attention placed on women shaving. There really isn't. There's a little but it's not that much.
I'm not bothered by the fact that I don't like it. We grow up as children, going from having no hair to all of a sudden having hair everywhere! For me, it totally sucked! My hair was itchy, and made my skin not it's usual color (although that one is probably attributed to socialized beauty standards). Let's face it. Hair in some areas has some biological functions that are a little less than pleasant for some people. Personally, I find that the severe lack of understanding some people have about others not liking hair is what's actually sad. Just because they had the time of their lives growing their hair doesn't mean we all did.
xD I was too but hey you can also think of it like not cutting the lawn (we also trimm our nails for that matter). Tastes are different. It would just be odd to like it natural and still shave . Some like wild some like smooth - whatever society says - and it is just body hair anyway..
me too
Not sure if it's conditioned or natural to not liking hairy legs on women. Just think of its connection to testosteron level (mainly - not exculisively - man hormon). Man may be conditioned to like NO hair on women's leg, but liking LESS hair on it seems quite natural for me. So our cultural norm is just the extreme of a natural tendency.
We haven't been conditioned not to like it, it's natural not to like it. Women didn't used to be hairy like that. That thick hairiness is specific to a genetic population, and only members of that genetic population like that sort of thing. Men are attracted to the infintile, and so the more childlike traits a woman carries through into adulthood, the more attractive she appears. it's a whole field of study in evolution, and it's not just humans that practice this form of sexual selection. There are plenty of women out there that are not hairy like this. Before women like her would have struggled to find a partner, and it would be a less common trait, but as it is genetically dominant, it has quickly spread throughout the population now that women can hide this just by shaving.
I'm not bothered by the fact I don't like it. I don't like body hair on men, either.
Conditioning is it when people who praise gross crap shame you to the point is that your mind weakens and you believe that your own opinion should bother you
Conditioning is when people who praise crap you find gross shame your plyable mind so much that your own opinion bothers you.
what if your real conditioning is not to dislike hairy people but to be bothered by disliking hairy people ?
Well I know many women, including myself, who don't grow such dark hair. My legs may be hairy sometimes, but won't look like that. That dark hair reminds me of men's body hair which I just find unfitting...
Or we all just have personal taste and preferences. Like how I'm bothered by the fact that you suggest our personal opinions and tastes are fake and all of us are actually innocent victims of brainwashing.

"We've been conditioned to it not being our taste." lmao. some people just dont like it, purely out of taste. i personally hate hair on me, and on my sexual partners, male or female
The natural hair enhances her beauty IMO, and I am glad she was brave enough to do this. You look fantastic, Morgan, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
The hair enhances her beauty IMO. Women's leg and underarm shaving is so engrained in our society that one hardly ever observes the natural appearance. I am so glad she was brave enough to do this. If many do the same, the ostracism should go away.
Even in the horniest days of my youth I wouldn't have touched those legs!
I almost guarantee she wouldn’t be attracted to that kind of mind set anyway, so don’t worry I’m sure she’d have stayed away from you.
She's beautiful, our adult brains are conditioned to find hair in women, ugly; but I bet a toddler wouldn't mind/find it disgusting. So that's not an instinct, it's not how we are, it's what society has taught us to be. So good for her. Bravo! ...But seriously I didn't know a woman could grow that much hair :D
Yep, my legs look like my husband's when I don't shave (which is my norm). I think when a lot of women talk about how they prefer to shave because it's not that much trouble don't realize HOW MUCH shaving some women have to go through to get smooth. Sometimes you literally have to shave twice even with a sharp razor on areas like your thighs. God help me if I have to shave my thighs....my body doesn't twist that way LOL.
I had a girlfriend who tried all kinds of ways of removing her leg hair and it made her miserable. She broke down in tears over the angst it produced, especially after our hipster male friend saw her at the pool and said "what's wrong with [her]?" Dick. Anyway, i told her to give up on trying to be hairless because it was making her miserable. Her hairy legs didn't bother me any.
I was surprised by how much hair she had on her thighs, I have never shaved the back of my thighs and you only really see the hair in the sunlight. It definitely makes me realize how much harder and time consuming shaving is for some.
I am the most unsocial person there is. I love my home and I don't go to bars etc. I shave for me. Not other people.
Yeah, it's more hair than I have (and I have a lot).

Toddlers eat shit. Not the best of arguments.
i also have thick dark hair on the inside and back of my thighs, nice to see i'm not the only girl who does. though i always shave mine out of embarrassment. she may also have PCOS like i do, or it may just be her genetics, but regardless it's pretty rude to make fun of someone for having it. some of these comments piss me off.
I feel the same! I'm hairy like mountain gorilla, thanks to PCOS and genes. Somehow comforting to actually see someone has hair too.
Yep, likewise! Wish I saw her photos as a teenager, would have saved me a great deal of embarrassememt and feelings of being a freak :)
She has rather shaped eye borrows for someone trying to promote being natural.
"Just do whatever makes you feel good." She's following her own advice, and shaping her eyebrows and not shaving makes her feel good. It's not a "go all out or don't even bother" kind of thing.
Pls go up
Hardly. I've seen eyebrows messed with so much that they aren't even there anymore (which looks freaky, IMO). This woman's brows barely look touched at all (and the photos aren't high quality enough to really judge anyway).
Sad that’s all you took from this. Eyebrows are also not the same. By the time I was a young adult I really didn’t need to pluck because my eyebrows no longer grew back where I plucked in my teens. Hence why many women end up microblading from over plucking.
I had a girlfriend that went to an all girl's Catholic school about 50 years ago, and they had a strict rule of You Will Shave Your legs and pits. The school uniform was a skirt, blouse , crew socks and loafers. The girls decided to band together and buck the shaving rule ...They let the hair around their ankles grow out ! Their socks covered it so the nuns didn't see it . According to my friend one of the staff caught sight of the furry anklet and hauled them all in for a communal shave session. She said they had some impressive results before that happened. As an over 65 woman I've noticed that the hair doesn't grow as fast on the legs and pits now. I do however have to deal weekly with the facial hair that is plaguing me since I generate no hormones any longer... Let's hear it for old age and all the joys it brings...ARGH!
I'm with you sister! I can now participate in Movember much to my horror, lmfao.
Catholic school... the problem starts much further back than this body hair topic...
Same here, in the Winter I let it grow, the extra warmth helps...not that much now, Summer the legs get shaved though...don't need the warmth, lol
Same here, winter I only shave my pits. Also I'm 57, hair definitely comes in a lot thinner by now.
A men's razor will take care of that facial hair in less than 15 seconds each morning. . Lots easier than waxing.
Nice! Now I'm pregnant I also stopped shaving, and guess what.. I like it! No more itchy skin, redness and so on!
I also stopped when I was pregnant. It was easier and my hair also grew a lot slower. It was fine for a break but it was nice to shave after
I had a bad reaction on waxing.. and lasering is to expensive here in the Netherlands! I use a creamy deo stick every morning and shower..

You should try waxing or laser removal. No itchy skin, no redness, no need to do it more than once a month, no smelling.
I don't understand this thinking that hair=smell. Hairy legs don't smell. And armpits? It's seriously about washing and which deodorant you use. I know people who shave their armpits and still smell, and people who don't shave and don't smell. And waxing and laser removal? I'm highly allergic to whatever they use for the wax, and some of us seriously don't have the money for laser removal no matter how much money you say it will save us. I shave if it's going to show, but if it's not then hairy I will be!
I know it's natural but ugh... No thanks. You do what you feel good about but I'll stick to shaving :P
Your choice.
"Just do whatever makes you feel good". She's following her own advice, and maybe plucking and makeup and not shaving makes her feel good. It's not a "go all out or don't even bother" kind of thing.
It's a generational thing, as well. For example, for me shaved armpits and legs on women are normal, but shaved men look weird to me and shaved privates even more so. To me, a big bush is the sign that a woman is mature and not a girl anymore. For people older than me hairy legs are fairly normal and for people younger than me hairless bodies for both genders are normal. Personally, I think the beauty industry is heavily promoting any look that costs money to maintain. White, even teeth, hairless skin, toned bodies - all this takes time and money to create and maintain. It's good that some people out there are rocking the boat a bit - even if they have to be young and stunningly beautiful to get away with it :-)
Excellent point about the beauty industry.
Hairy legs fairly normal? Not. I've been shaving 40 years. The one nice about growing older is that my hair is less thick and dark.
I don't shave much anymore. I think this is beautiful. n.n
I have neuropathy in my legs and feet, so shaving my legs usually ends up in peeling skin and blood loss! Now that I'm menopausal, thankfully most of my body hair is either gone, or very fine, but I've never been a regular shaver. It just doesn't matter to me. I have male friends who shave EVERYTHING but their heads. It's their choice. Please don't judge people just because they do or don't shave!
She's looks gorgeous and I think she has a happy wholesome image of herself. Kudos.
Being natural AF, buit pluck your eyebrows. K then :D
Shaving those legs = approx 30min every second day. Plucking those eyebrows = ~2min once a week. It doesn't have to be all or nothing and she did say her main motivation was time saved.
30 minutes to shave your legs? It takes me about 3 minutes in the shower to shave my armpits and my legs. Either your legs are extremely long, or you need a lesson in shaving.
30 minutes every second day?! I think you're doing it wrong. I shave my legs in 5 minutes maybe once a week tops on the summer.

30 minutes? Wow. Maybe once a week waxing might work for you guys.
They may or may not be plucked. They look mostly natural to me. I'd love to see this natural look on so many women... Some women go really too far. More than some, i think...
I have really fuzzy legs and It's kind of disappointing to me that so many people, just random people, go up to you and mention it. I already have sociall anxiety, it's not helping! The only reason (before I saw this post) that I didn't shave my legs was that I'd fear it would be to noticeable and people would judge me for that. LOL, that impeccable logic that social anxiety brings, though!
Yup, i have social phobia and anxiety, and random sel-entitled a**holes dont help at all *long distance huggs sis*
*self
I have it too. I realized that I was dressing for everybody else but me. Then I wear what I want and people have to comment. I don't care what they think but it annoys me that they think I should. I conform only to shut them up because I don't need the aggravation. (I despise attention so...) The only thing I refuse to do is get a tattoo so I can fit in to the current society. I don't curse in every other sentance either.
I agree, If I stopped epilating the extra attention of people's comments would make my anxiety so much worse. I'd like to stop though

Bleach.
Norm B. Since my early teens I have always loved and been excited at the sight, feel and the smell of hirsute women. On a Biological level, body hair is associated with pheromones, a natural secretion that promotes sexual attraction between humans. So I applaud all of you beautiful hirsute women who reject the Madison Avenue propaganda.
It's not propaganda. Do you let your front lawn grow to it's full potential? Do you not shovel snow? Do you not paint your house? It's preference. I like smooth skin. Even on my man. Beards are very popular right now. Doesn't mean I jumped on the beard bandwagon. Tattoos are extremely trendy. I am still not getting one.
I think it's great to see hairy legs on a beautiful woman, it challenges the conventional idea of beauty and gives an insight into how conditioned we are. Personally I find it hard to look at my hairy self and love how I look and that's because being hairy isn't seen as beautiful. I think it takes a strong sense of self to do this.
Good for her for being brave enough to try it but as a straight man I would feel as if I am sleeping with another man if I had to touch those legs. They are hairier than mine. Just being totally honest here. Not very PC, I know, but I trust you to accept my preferences just as you accept hers. When I am fantasizing about women, hairy legs are not present. The armpits are not that bad but I could never wrap those legs around my neck.
And you have every right to feel that way. Some women can't stand shaved men. Baby smooth legs on a man turns them off. I hate body hair on women and men so I am good with it. I love my fiances legs. For some reason the hair is very fine and soft. Maybe I am a weirdo though lol.
Nah, you're fine. I love your fiance's legs too 😁
So if a woman who meets all of your requirements doesn't want to sleep with you because you don't match her fantasy, don't go calling her a b**** or being all upset about it
My requirements are not that extreme though. All I asked for is for her to not be hairier than me. Most men feel the same way about their female partners. Now about calling her names -why would anyone do that? I consider myself a non-sociopath so I can deal with rejection without being an arse about it. I'm afraid you have been meeting the wrong men.
This is great. I can grow that much hair as well and it only takes me 2 months. I absolutely understand the intention. The whole shaving thing really takes a lot of time, expecially when you have to start with the bikini area and end at the feet. But watching these pics really make me realize the conditions that we grow up with. I don't know if I would feel that comfortable with hairy legs.
don't matter if the hair isn't your taste! that's literally the point lmao live your life and let others live theirs
and shame on you if you're gonna say a whole lot of nasty, would have thought your parents have raised you better
Thank you for sharing this! At least now I know I am not the only person have that much hair on her legs!! the feeling of relief! Lol
Not for me, but I appreciate your bravery!
I don't know if this a good or bad thing ... I never knew women could grow so much body hair! She's got more hair on her legs and pits than I do!
Everyone's different. Controlled by genetics just like everything.
Lower legs and armpits don't look unusual to me but she really has a lot of hair on her thighs. It's still perfectly normal but most women are a less hairy on the inside of their thighs.
I was actually excited, although surprised, to see that. I thought it was just me and felt like a furry freak.
Isn't this common with dark haired people overall?
She is really hairy for a woman.
How many women have you seen let their hair grow out?
As far as what you're used to seeing in life. Everyone is different.
More women should let it grow out for at least variety. Why not? Women change hairdos on their heads so what's the difference? This whole thing that women "need" to shave is ridiculous. It hasn't always been like that and it wasn't an issue back then. Personally I think it looks sexy 😊
As an aromatherapist, every so often I get a client who apologises for not having shaved. It really doesn't bother me in fact I prefer the natural look but whether any individual woman or man for that matter shaves their body hair or not is none of my business.
Good for her. She's a beautiful woman with or without the hair. No one should feel afraid to experiment with their own look. I really wish more people understood just how beautiful humans are in general instead of nit picking over every little thing.
As a hairy woman myself I am very happy to see someone open up like that, I always see images of girls with very little body hair and make me feel like I'm not normal, so to me this is very beautiful and calming.
Hey, I'm doing the same thing! I've never shaved before, and I never will. Honestly, these social standards are just ridiculous!
it's natural, we're born to have hairy armpits, legs, arms and of course other body parts! A lot of other cultures don't shave. My family comes from a long line of hairy ancestors, lol. I haven't shaved my legs in ages, no need; ever since I went through menopause for some reason I have very little hair left on my legs! I also quit shaving my under arms a few years back (basically from shear laziness) its no big deal, but then I am 68, not real concerned with what anyone else thinks about it! I spent several years shaving my crotch area all because some man decided he didn't like a hairy crotch and I went along with it, what a pain in the ass that was. One of the stupid things I did when I was younger just to make someone else happy! Do what you feel is right for you, everyone has different preferences, to each their own!
i haven't shaved my legs or my armpit in over 20 yrs and i'm happy.
I agree with you girl. I always say what we have to shave? just because the society put in our heads we have to?
I say live and let live.
I couldn't love this more!!
nice
Such a beautiful brave young lady. Respect for her
Hey, I've been doing this, too! I've never shaved, and never will. It's ridiculous that society requires girls to...
I really respect her courage - I don't believe in shaving, but I generally chicken out when I have to appear in public with my legs showing. I had a sixteen year old mock me ruthlessly at Girl Scout Camp, of all places, for hairy armpits. I really don't like attracting attention for any reason, so...
People out here talking about the body hair not being their type and stuff and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that but just keep in mind that she did not do this based on what is your type or what turns you off.
nice hair
In high school, I barely ever shaved my legs but that was mostly because my hair is blonde on my legs (i'm a red head). But as time went on, I started getting more and more hair and my armpit hair turned brown. I still didn't shave often, because tbh I just don't like shaving. I do shave my armpits now regularly, but my legs only get shaved when the hair is around a half an inch long. Plus, my leg hair doesn't grow that fast so I buy razors at costco that attach to the stick, so I don't have to use a new razor every time I shave. I don't not shave to be cool or to stand up to men, or anything like that. I do it because shaving my armpits makes me itchy. Shaving my legs only lasts a few hours before they get prickly. It's not worth more than a once a month shave. It's not about standing up to men, it's about comfort. That's my main priority.
She's hot... i personally like armpit hair on women, but thats me. i wish my legs could get as hairy as hers, hahahahahah :-)
she's got more hair on her legs than I do on my head. not fair
It's a fairly modern practice. Up until the 1920's no one ever considered hair removal in Western cultures. Just didn't happen. It was only when fashions changed and pits and legs were exposed that an advertising opportunity was raised. "Let's tell women that exposed pit and leg hair is yucky and we can sell more razors" ... if they hadn't done that none of us (male or female) would think about it. Prior to that time men had been sleeping with and enjoying the bodies of their partners/wives without an issue ... hair and all.
I don't understand why so many people freak out over hairy armpits on women. I think it's sexy.
I always have mixed feelings about articles like this one. Because, honestly, what's the big deal?
I think it's good we have articles like this. Until all people have the same "what's the big deal" attitude as you, it's probably good to show that women are also people who grow hair.
I'm already as natural as I can get. :| I don't shave at all and I can be considered pretty hairless unless you cound my head full of hair.
That's what America is about, freedom to do what you want! She is very beautiful, but I find leg hair on women unattractive. Everyone is different though, some guys might like it or not care either way.
I don't shave my pits or legs and my haircut is very short. My body hair is very sparse and light, but I'm glad to be done with it anyway.
she just did it for attention nothing more...
After having read these threads, I feel like a misogynistic pig because I like women who shave their legs and arm pits :-(
The thing is, she's a beautiful woman regardless. If an overweight, unattractive woman did this, she would be completely ridiculed, nary a supporter in sight. This just goes to show that a "perceived imperfection" such as body hair can be overlooked if you're beautiful with a "socially acceptable" body. That's not a commentary on the woman who did this, but on society as a whole.
i haven't shaved my armpits or legs for over 20 yrs and i'm happy.
I can go a few months, but I start to get distracted by it.. I twirl it, pull it out, do all kind of weird stuff when im hairy. It actually consumes more of my time than when I shave.
It looks like my boyfriends legs
How is that all the armpit hair she has in a year?! Mine grows sooo fast! It'll start to grow back in the same 24 hrs I shaved it.
She say shaving takes too much time.. the time she spend taking those pics she could even wax... I think she need just a bit more attention.
I've gone shaved or not shaved periodically throughout my life. I don't really mind being hairy and I don't mind shaving- but it is expensive and it creates a lot of garbage so sometimes I'll take a break from doing it. I was bullied for being hairy-legged in school, too, along with a lot of other "reasons" but that's not why I shave or don't shave. I do it when I want to and not when I don't. No one I know seems to mind and even if they did these days it wouldn't bug me!
I don't shave as often as some, I often leave my legs undone, but do pits more often as much for odour control as anything else.
<3 Awesome!!!! <3 I agree, well, i grew my hair to exercise my patience, i think i haven't shaved for 2.5 years now, though disapointlingly i have way too little for my taste, i even rubbed my self in oils and mosturizers that supposedly stimulate hair growth. Anyway, i love body hair bcs it gives me a warm-pleasant-feral-peaceful feeling from staring at it on others, and on me i like it too bcs air drafts through my body hair tingle my legs in a very VERY enjoyable manner =) I love it on my bf bcs i can snuggle in him and i get filled with warmth like being touched by soft sun light, my bf also loves my body hair and feels similarly towards it and me, he gets feral, happy and protective, i get kind of a snuggling frenzy, i get that sensation from hairy pets too, like doggies, kittens, guinea pigs, gerbils, etc. sort of a need to hug, cuddle and snuggle <3 it even becomes "cute agression" (is like anxiety from looking at cute things/beings, in this case hairy beings) sometimes.
each to his/her own i reckon. if you like hair let it grow. if you dont then shave/wax..simples
I was born hairy but here in Philippines, we don't mind girls having alot of hair so girls here are not roasted under the society's standards. as a result of not shaving, my leg hairs didnt grew think and curly.
Wow, that is one hairy gal! Guess that explains how she has such a great head of hair.
Gross
I think she looks great either way! But I am surprised she insists so much on shaving being time-consuming!!! I do it in the shower, takes maximum 2 minutes?!! Although it's just the legs and armpits, not the thighs because you can't see my hairs on there. But still. I can think of tons of good reasons why you may want to stop shaving, but saving time never crossed my mind!!
I have about as much hair on my legs as she does, so speaking from experience. When the hair is short it takes anything between 15-30min, because of the density of hair (=razor clogs halfway through one stroke) and thighs (=can't see the back of them and always miss some strips of hair, so have to go over..and over). When the hair is longer - around 1h, because everything mentioned previously is excarberated. Also, if the hair is long 2 disposable razors are a default (1 for each leg)... So yeah, saving time is a legit reason
Yes, that amount of hair takes ages to shave. Not because it takes a long time to do the actual shaving but because thick hair clogs the razor and must be removed.
EWWWWW!!!
And yet she still plucks the hell out of her eyebrows.... Hmmm....
That is NOT "plucked to hell". You clearly need to see more examples of plucked eyebrows.
she kinda brave not to shave,but on my opinion i prefer shaved person..its too ichy and uncomfortable for me
There is difference between legs, that were shaved and the hair grow up again and legs that were never shaved. My mother is the second case, she never shaved her legs (before it wasn´t common like nowadays) and the hair on her legs look almost invisible, is only here and there, and you almost don´t notice it. I kind of envy her :D
I do this every winter. Love it! I was also hairy just like you, now that I've gone through the change, it's so light people hardly notice it!
This is so much about courage. Who of us would dare go among the people like this? Maybe someday it will be super normal to go outside singing if you want to, or doing something soooo "non-conforming", but you'll be happy doing so. Remember... IT WILL BE SAFE THEN, BUT NOT BRAVE ANYMORE! ☼ :)
I don't bother shaving my legs too often during the winter, but I always shave arm pits. I mean, that takes like 10 seconds while under the shower. I've never shaved my upper legs though (except bikini line), never felt the need to (they're not that hairy anyway). I do like the feeling of smooth lower legs though. :)
Damn, she's hairier than I am!
For me I love her hair, I'm a big fan of untouched pubic hair and armpit hair
I just throw on a pair of pantyhose if I don't have time to shave. TightsHair...47d368.jpg
I love hair everywhere on women. I think it's natural, beautiful, and sexy. Please don't shave and also go vegan.
Once we start eating natural raw vegan foods, ripe raw fresh fruits and vegetables, we start to sweat less and eventually not sweat at all. Sweating is toxins coming out of the body. Don't forget when hair starts to grow, until it fully grows in, after it stops itching. This also happens to men as well.
I don't think it looks good by I just hate shaving. Sting-Biki...ca6280.jpg
As a man I like a hairy women. I like a women with hairy arms, belly, and trail down the back. I would love to date a women with at least one or more of these features
I love it. Not all the time, but every now and then. I'm ok with hair arm and armpits and pussy all the time. I even love hair going down the side of ear. Legs I wouldn't want that all the time.
I am jealous. She has as much armpit and leg hair as I do, and as a man, that is a bunch.
she looks great!
I quit shaving 4 months ago. My husband doesn't mind it and once you get passed the itchy regrowth it's really not that different from freshly shaved legs in the way it feels against your clothes. Plus it's much softer and I never get embarrassed for my stubble poking my man at night. I got shy about wearing my swimsuit at the pool and my husband said, baby who cares? You're not looking for a boyfriend and I like your hair so just own it. I love him so much.
I think she looks gourgous and beautiful with her hairy body I love hairy woman
I was raised in the family that my mother never shaved, so as I was growing up it's been normal to me. plus most girls from my country didn't shave, so I never thought girls needed to shave their body hair at all. But after I moved to US I later realized I didn't know how much and how thick body hair people have, especially white people. My mom barely has any hair on her legs, and armpit hair thinner than my eyebrows. Even as a guy myself, I have literally less than 300 strand of hair on each arm. I later started to understand why people feel need to shave, but I still don't think they NEED to.
I think she's beautiful and am glad she's embracing her natural beauty and not feeling like she needs to conform. At 46 I am just now doing the same. Kudos and thank you!
What about her eyebrows, hands, upper lips and side whiskers? She has removed hair on that parts. :) So I think she's making very dumb thing.

I have recently just stopped shaving my legs and my armpits. I have found that I don't sweat nearly as much, or my deodorant does its job better with some hair there. I have extremely fine light hair on my thighs which I rarely shaved before but it is much darker on my legs. My reasons are that I just don't want to spend the money on buying razors anymore, I have things I want to do more than shaving. Every time I think about shaving I ask myself why?If the answer is in any way related to other people will see then I don't shave.
I wish what happens naturally wasn't seen as a novelty or something so unusual. Personally, I like it.
I think she's beautiful.
I have to say that being of Dutch/Scotch decent, I don’t have much body hair, and what I have is light and thin. (Except for on my head, I have the thickest, wavy hair that I adore) I have my body hair removed, but that’s just my personal preference for me. I respect each person for what they believe in, and what they want to do with their own bodies. To shave, or not to shave, that is the question. Do your own thing!
i just dont like hair in my mouth
Ah, human behavior. Conditioned opinions. Grow up in Norway and surrounding countries, where it's normal to leave body hair attached. It is natural. Any other opinion is merely conditioned. Preferred, but still conditioned. If we grew up in a society where some women shaved, and others didn't, if it was 50/50, your opinion would not be conditioned, it would be chosen. But we live in a society where women shaving is EXPECTED. That, dear ones, is conditioned behavior.
its just hair. they come n go. men have literally been leaving it like this forever.
Wow I had no idea women could grow that much hair!
WoW! I had no idea women could grow that much hair! I guess if I had that much hair I'd think it was a hassle to shave it also.
Legs yeah in winter I can see that but even my legs don't take that long. I mean I guess it depends how hairy u are. I can do legs and armpits in 2 min and really that isn't that long out of ur life and the armpits is more of a hygiene thing when you sweat that area just...yuck. no. If u have time to sit there and take selfies u have time to take a razor to your hair. Also, I don't actually believe this is "comfortable" give me a break it's just another way to get 5 min of fame as an SJW. No one said u have to shave this has already been addressed by the hippies in the 60s it is nothing new but just expect that if you don't shave everyone is going to think it's hot. You are free to do what u will with ur body but you can't force your opinion of what is attractive onto others so be prepared for some ppl to this this is unappealing and its their right as well to think that
Okay totally not trying to hate on this but her bikini line has clearly been waxed or shaved and her eyebrows are on fleek so she hasn’t exactly committed, has she?
Wow
i shave my face and yes, manscape because my s.o. prefers it. i don't mind the fact that she doesn't shave. everything gets all prickly.. it also doesn't help that women's razors aren't as sharp as men's.
So all of the hours exercising, taming that hair on your head, plucking those eyebrows, putting on makup, and time spent on the internet,.... but a few secs shaving your pits, and a few mins hiting those legs is just too much time and effort? And you still have "issues" about a time when you were 11? Okay.
It's gross. The girl has a hormone problem.
Nope
I stopped at age 59. It dries my legs out.
Im a man conditioned by society to think this is not beautiful. This bothers me that im bother by it.. i should not be, she is a beautiful woman regardless .. could try and call it personal taste but it's not.. it's conditioning.. Interesting debate I'm now having in my head.. thank you and respect where it's due
I would still hit it
I would still hit it hard
Body hair is useless, maybe in the next few centuries it will stop growing at all, Evolution will make his job, we have clothes now.
I've heard that it isn't useless.
Nope, just nope....Embracing nature yes, but being a freak of it, no!!! Her legs look so masculine with all those hairs...Ugh!!! Trust me, it doesn't take 5 minutes to shave in the shower!!
i never shave my inner tighs, i didnt know you get hair there??
just a question im 19 but are you supposed to get hair on your inner tighs cause i dont, ever
I never used to shave my legs in the winter time but during the summer, when I wore shorts, I did shave my legs. Now that I have severe back pain, I want to shave my legs but it hurts and I have to be careful. I even purchased Nair to see if it would be easier... and it is easier. But, honestly, because of the pain, I choose not to shave my legs. I use a back scrubbers to wash my feet in the shower too.
I hate shaving. I don't think I'd feel comfortable stopping though.
I'm sorry but that is disgusting especially the unshaved armpit...I won't ever do that,thank you
Hairy or smooth skin, I always appreciate both as long as it's ok with you. Fine.
Too right .........you body is your body.....do whatever feels good to you........but from a mans point of view.........unatractive

I stopped shaving legs years ago. It was weird at first but later great.
Good luck on being single the rest of your nasty, hairy ass life! LOL :)
WOOOOW! Soooo witty! Like, what would a woman do without a partner? She would be like doomed for ever. I bet she’s crying now, after realizing she won’t be the lucky lady to catch a neanderthal as a couple. 👌
Under arm hair is a turn-on for me. But leg hair? Not so much!
she's gorgeous. no argument ya can make against that...
No way, It would actually be uncomfortable, I have gone without shaving for a while, not a year though, i couldn't take it besides the fact that it made me feel not so feminine, kinda man like. and that isn't how i want to feel.
Hello sweets you so gorgeous hairy or not but I had to tell your worth every hair or not keep it up you beautiful women I eat you an lick from head to toe wow 😜😘😝😝
You are so dam gorgeous with hair or without his just can't say how beautiful you are your hair eyes an face keep it up beautiful thanks sexi girl
I don't think I can.t go a day without shaving but it's your choice
Sorry it's ugly. I was an exchange student in Costa Rica in 1980. At the time women/teenagers didn't shave but they all complemented me on my smooth hairless legs. Yeah, it's work but I wouldn't change. Now women there shave and they love it.
It's ugly. I was an exhange student in Costa Rica in 1980s and was so happy that they embraced shaving by the time I went back to visit my friends in the 90s.
I do not shave my legs!!!!! I hate that we have been made to feel that we should. Yes some people stare and my husband always says...aren't they nice. Bahahaha
OMG! What I would do with this woman in a bed! Her body hair makes her look like a mature woman and not a girl. Hope she stays with it.
I think it was fifth grade when people teased me about it, which only made me mad xD Its nice to know I'm not the only one out there. Her leg hair is darker than mine, more noticable but oh well xD shes still super gorgeous! I mean, I shave my pits because I think its kind of gross, but I only shave my legs for a super special occasions xD like State competitions lol
Absolutely NOT !! It Looks Nasty... Not for Girls especially Pretty as she is USE NAIR, if you're that Lazy Not to Shave . Men Love Women that have Soft Smooth Legs No Hair and Arm Pits... It's Just Gross.....
Lol at all the comments trying to claim there's even more pressure on men to shave than women. Case in point, if this article were about a man growing his leg and armpit hair, nobody would be commenting. I'm not sure why there's even a discussion. A woman wants to grow her body hair, fine; a man wants to shave everything, fine; you find it attractive, fine; you don't, fine.
In the 1920's the practice of women shaving their legs and underarm became popular in America and a little later in Europe
Actually women were still beautiful a 100 or more years ago when shaving legs and underarm for girls wasn't done. In the 1920's especially in America and later in Europe.
Not for me, I'll continue to wax and shave my body hair away. Also in a couple of pics, she looks way to skinny, unhealthy looking. There's being healthy and going too far.
there is nothing wrong with women or men growing it out. i personally find it gross on either gender
I can't help but wonder if she has any dates with men. Even when I was 18 and constantly horny one look at those legs and I'd have been gone.
Pits look cool. Legs not so much.
this is going to sound weird, but is it possible that the reason she has so much hair is because she works out a lot? doesn't that increase testosterone. this is totally non-judgemental, i think its great, i'm just thinking about it since i started working out a lot.
I stopped giving in to our "cultural norm" years ago..I'm lucky, I'm not particularly hairy..having to shave most of your body is time consuming & costly, invest in pink razors, special shaving creams..what crap the public is fed..in part to maintain a look that is prepubescent..when I see something that goes against the norm I really have to think if it is conditioning or truly a personal dislike ..some days harder to figure out than others...
but is she available?
is she available?
I almost threw up. . .and now go and downvote me
So beautiful <3
Pretty! an incredibly wonderful post.Thanks for supplying this info.
I haven't shaved under my arms in over 15 years. I stopped because I had to shave them every day and they always itched. After the hair grew out, I realized it let more air into my arm pits, so I would actually sweat less and had less under arm odor! I wish I had the guts to stop shaving my legs, also.
I'm sorry but that is just disgusting
Testo Ultra revisión Usted podría ser responsable de enmascarar los gastos de transporte.
Is it just me, or does she have mythical armpits? LET ME EXPLAIN: She let her legs and pits grow out FOR A YEAR. As far as armpit hair, there wasn't that much (in my opinion). IDK, maybe it's my genetics.
It takes longer to comb and treat her long hair then to shave legs, so this is not about "saving time"
I don't shave very often myself, then again my leg and armpit hair are very thin and not dark at all so it really isn't noticeable. As to it being itchy, in the beginning after that not so much. Unless you have dry skin and to it making my ordor worse not really, if you bath properly and use deodorant it isn't any worse.
come weather that encourages you to start wearing longer sleeves and not revealing your under arms or legs, l tend to forget to use my razor..l think because l live in pants l tend to not have as much hair on them due to being worn off..my mums legs were like that as well cause she lived in stockings for most of her life..so having less hair means less shaving..also, from the beginning l decided not to shave above the knee, this also meant that the hair there was fairer and less noticeable..
I shave my legs cause it bothers me if i dont. I don't care what others think about my apperance just I don't like me hairy. Own preference
I think that shaving your armpits takes less time than plucking your eyebrows ...I can see what she's trying to say but it all kind of comes to nothing every time I see her eyebrows ... so in the end I just see her as an attention seeker lol
Ok, she has a point, but even in a pretty girl like her, hair looks so bad it hurts me to see it:P
:O
If I didn't shave my pits for a week , no matter how much washing I would do. Twice a day, three or four times even. My God I would smell worse than a Ram Goat!
She's gorgeous
This girl prefers having more time and less worry over being attractive to others. I think that is a brave statement. But sometimes I think that we all are not always honest about beauty and attractiveness. It is NOT always that we are shaped by society what to like and what to dislike. Some things or people ARE just more attractive. They just ARE. Some things in nature stink and some thing smell wonderful and delicious. I can choose to have a pedicure and get rid of my rough skin or I can choose to have smooth, soft feet. I can choose to have white teeth or I can choose to have yellow teeth. It is a choice to care or not care. It is a good feeling to KNOW that yes, I am hairy, yes, I am short, yes I am big etc. but I AM and that is important. Love who you are but admit that some are fortunate to have lots of great features. I don't want to diminish certain attractive features, just because I don't happen to have them.
OMFG. She is half gorilla for sure. Nobody wants to see that.
I don't think for her this really is about feminism, natural beauty and stuff, but a way to tell her childhood bullies to go f*ck themselves. If doing the exact thing those bullies wanted her to stop, boosts her self esteem, I can only applaud that.
I dont understand, legs no but bikini and eyebrows yes? So being natural or not?
Why is this even a thing. If she doesn't want to shave, that's her beeswax.
As a man, I don't like body hair or facial hair on anyone (including men). The only reason i have a chinstrap right now is because of laziness and the discomfort of shaving so much of my face; I'll be clean shaven again soon enough. Lately I've just been shaving the part that looks the worst when unshaven (the white trash stash), since i cannot grow those beards some women swoon over. I also trim my armpits down to nothing on a regular basis (hair helps hold odor) and trim my crotch sometimes. It doesn't make me any less of a man to have such a personal preference and it doesn't make women any less "correct" to have their own preferences either. Women should do whatever the hell they want. The woman in this article is extremely attractive, IMO. My longest relationships have been with women who didn't find shaving their bodies to be remotely worth the pain and suffering of the task and it didn't make me run from them in some kind of culturally-programmed disgust.
I'm that kind of a girl who only shaves on hot day's when I'm showing of my body~! XD 😜
My only complaint is that they included what her boyfriend thinks. That shouldn't even come up. It's your body. You do what makes YOU happy and feel good. It's not for your significant other or anyone else. Just you.
You like what you like. She's very attractive, and it's super cool she tried this out for herself. At the end of the day what people should take away from this is what she said. To do what makes 'you' happy. If you're a sheeple, then sure, you follow the trend, or if you prefer "conditioning". Things become popular not by force, but because people take a liking to it based on their own personal interests. There are billions who love hair on both women and men, and billion's who do not. Did apple "condition" people to like smart phones? No. They presented an "option" and masses of people took a liking to it based on personal preference and interest. Grew up poor in detroit, did that condition me to stay poor and blame the 1% for misfortune? No, I got off my ass and took control of my life because "I" wanted to make something of myself. Gee-zus, people with these excuses for their actions. Great article & awesome woman, and honestly id date a woman line this despite "conditioning"... <_<
Not for me but hey, if you don't want to shave, don't shave!
Is the make up considered 'natural' because it is natural make up? Well, I don't even know what I'm talking about. Shaped eyebrows is natural? Okay, I'm done.
I'm not bothered one way or the other. To each, their own. It's just not my preference. I remember in my youth how lovely my legs felt after I shaved them, especially the way they felt against the bedsheets. After menopause, I still shave, but, sadly, I don't get that same feeling.
