A woman has revealed how people constantly stare at her hairy legs in public – but claims men can’t get enough of her bushy pins.
Aria Loca is sick of society dictating that women should shave and have hairless bodies to please others.
The 34-year-old prefers a more natural, low-maintenance look, displaying her fuzzy parts for all to see.
Despite puzzling strangers on the street with her unique look, Aria says men lap it up online – with her receiving daily messages from people professing their love for her hairy pins and fluffy armpits.
But it has caused tension in her dating life in the past.
“I saw other women showing off their body hair and it seemed so rebellious and badass,” Aria, from Mexico, told What’s The Jam.

“A lot of us don’t realise we’ve been getting brainwashed since birth to fit societal norms.
“Women with smooth, hairless skin are plastered everywhere and that’s what we think women should look like.
“I was [once] in a relationship with someone that wasn’t into it.
“I kept shaving to please them but I would never do that now.
“If they can’t fully accept me, they’re not for me, I’m not for them.
“My [TikTok] page has always been centred around my body hair and [now] I get comments from men every day saying how much they love hairy legs and armpits on women.”
Aria, who works as an electrical journeywoman, first started growing out her body hair at 21.
She was first inspired to ditch the razor by musician Patti Smith’s Easter album cover – which features the singer showing off her hairy armpits.
Aria also believes her friends envy her confidence and that they too wish they could embrace body hair.
She said: “I have received some comments from friends saying they wish they could stop shaving like me, but they’re too scared of what others will say.
“No one truly enjoys shaving but they do it for others, it doesn’t really make sense.”
Aria often shares her passion for body hair on TikTok (@vivalahippieloca) with her 3,000 followers and does receive some backlash, but shakes it off.
She said: “Negative comments come from online.
“There’s always going to be haters, not much you can do about that.
“I don’t really think much about what other people may think.
“I enjoy spreading awareness though and like to think I could be changing perspectives, just like mine was changed.
“I may get some stares in public but I’ve never had a negative comment in person.
“I think people should embrace their body in general more.”
“We’re all beautiful the way we are and if women weren’t meant to have body hair then we wouldn’t have body hair, but it’s there for a reason.
“I love embracing my womanhood by embracing my body hair.”
