The notion of feminine hygiene linked with hair removal, initiated by Gillette’s 1915 campaign, has shaped societal expectations and personal practices around women's bodies, fostering an ongoing debate about autonomy.
I stopped shaving my legs and underarms when I had children. What began as laziness turned into an appreciation for my natural body, highlighting personal choices in grooming.
Women's bodies have long been politicized in ways that men’s have not, with advertising and societal pressures playing a significant role in dictating norms, especially regarding hair removal.
Now, I wish I’d never started shaving, as I appreciate the texture and look of my natural hair, which signifies a personal choice rather than societal conformity.
