, you do you, but if you'd prefer to embrace your body hair in all its fuzzy glory, that's also bloody amazing.
The revulsion that people feel over women's body hair: that it's dirty, smelly, or unattractive, is learnt - and quite frankly stupid. It's the same stuff that men have under their arms, over their chests and around their groin, but we grow up being told ours is undesirable. Whilst of course it isn't at all undesirable, some women may be concerned with excessive body hair, whether it's on their face, arms, tummy, legs or back. That's why we've enlisted two experts, Dr Sophie Shotter and Dr Deborah Lee from
