It’s a bit weird this obsession society has with women shaving off body hair that’s just trying to grow naturally.
We’ve all got it, so who was the oddball who one morning woke up and tried to make hair-free armpits a thing?
Well, according to a video from Timeline News it’s all down to an advert in Harper’s Bazaar in 1915.
Before then, ladies weren’t really shaving anything.
The ad told women that modern dancing and sleeveless dresses were the next big thing, meaning ‘objectionable hair’ was out.
Then a whole flood of anti-armpit hair adverts followed.
