On TikTok, Lydi Winter stands out as a woman who wears her body hair with pride. After years of fearing judgment from others, she’s now on a mission to challenge the traditional standards of female beauty.
The topic of female body hair often remains taboo in discussions around the ideal standard of beauty. Yet, there are women who embrace their natural hair, and an increasing number are becoming comfortable with showing it off. This shift is far from being considered an anomaly.
Lydi Winter, from the UK, is among those women who no longer hide their body hair. On TikTok, going by the name Lydi Hairy—a playful nod to her unshaven state—she leverages her platform to represent women who choose to keep their body hair.
In one of her viral videos, she confidently wears an orange bikini, arms raised, revealing her underarm hair and pubic hair peeking out from her swimsuit.
“It Took Me A Long Time to Feel Comfortable”
“I’m a big fan of body hair. It took me a long time to feel comfortable with it… but I believe anyone can get there,” she shares. This video alone captivated over a million viewers.
Naturally, her post and her body hair have sparked a wide range of reactions, from both men and women. Some express discomfort or outright rejection of body hair, especially on women, while others commend Lydi for setting an example by flaunting her hair with such confidence.
Through her posts, Lydi hopes to empower other women to embrace their natural body hair. While she recognized the sensitivity of the subject, she didn’t anticipate the overwhelming success of her video. It’s clear evidence that her message is resonating with a broad audience.
