‘I refuse to shave my armpits and pubic hair – trolls hate it but some say it’s beautiful’

A woman is flaunting her natural body online – and receives a mixed reaction from her followers. 
More and more influencers out there are choosing to stop shaving their underarms. A study from 2016 found nearly one in four women under the age of 25 refuse to shave their armpits, a statistic that could be even higher now. 
The trend could be a reaction to the unnatural beauty standards that stem from celebrities like the Kardashians and more. Even brands like Adidas and Asos used models with armpit hair in recent years. 
Martina is an influencer who posts her outfits and bikinis on her TikTok, @martina_peach. She promotes a natural body by refusing to shave her armpits or pubic hair to her over 605,000 followers.

She captioned it: “Pov you are my boyfriend and I ask you to make a video of me by the pool.”
Martina’s appearance received some praise from commenters.
