"I think I stopped shaving my pits mid 2016 after coming across @ripsnorter on Instagram. She was beautiful and just so happened to not shave either and that's when I realised who f*cking cares about hair. I'm half Lebanese, hairy by nature. When I shave my hair grows back within minutes; it's truly pointless and a waste of shower time for me considering how much hair I have to groom solely on my head. So I stopped. Eventually I stopped shaving all together because it simply did not benefit me anymore. Fast forward three years and I haven't bought a single use razor since then. Sometimes I'll shave because I feel like it and that's the point. It should be a choice! Not a beauty standard.
Sure there's tons of criticism but [not shaving] has benefited me in so many ways. No more ingrowns or razor bumps, I don't sweat as much. I used to always have sweat circles on my sleeves [and] contrary to popular belief, my pits don't stink and I rarely use deodorant now because of that. I have much more time in the shower now that I'm not incessantly worrying about removing every last strand of hair on my body. Oh and it's also helped me weed out shallow potential mates in this freaky dating world because I don't want to be with someone who's not comfortable with my body choices.
The point is, do whatever you want because it's your body. Someone is always going to have something negative to say so you may as well do whatever is going to benefit you."
