armpit hair

When it comes to grooming, women are subject to an awful lot of rules. We "must" wear makeup (but not too much!), we "must" be flawless of skin, and we "must" remove all of our body hair from the eyebrows down. But the honest truth is, there's really only ONE rule that we need to follow:

We must be ourselves, whoever that person is.

And for some of us, that means keeping our body hair where it belongs: on our bodies. Here are 14 babes who unapologetically flaunt what Mother Nature gave them, and make it look DAMN good.

Never feel ashamed of your body hair! It's YOURS, and it's as beautiful as the rest of you.
