She recalled the horror dating story: “There was one time I saw a guy who made a comment saying he wouldn’t date a girl hairier than him.
‘And I thought: how strange. So I ended up ending that relationship completely because I felt like that wasn’t productive or that I wanted to be with a man like that.
“He wasn’t a very nice person.”
Although there have been a few bad seeds, Esther noted that most men are more than acceptable when it comes to her body hair.
The 27-year-old added: ‘There have also been plenty of men who have been okay with my hair.
‘There was a guy who really liked me and I never told him I had chest hair.
“I decided to tell him because I kind of knew he had a crush on me, so I thought if he told or showed him that I have chest hair, he wouldn’t like me anymore because I didn’t like him back.”
“Once I showed it to him, he still liked me, he said, ‘I really don’t care.’

“I’d never experienced that before.”
She explained that she decided to stop removing her body hair five years ago after becoming frustrated with the removal process.
Esther noted that she felt like she was always fighting a losing battle against her thick locks.
“I decided to keep my body hair because the more I removed it, the more hair I grew,” she said.
‘My body hair was getting longer, thicker, darker, blacker, so I was going crazy! If I have to remove it, why does it grow back?
“That’s what I’ve been taught since I was a child and I’ve never questioned it, because I have to remove my body hair simply because I’m a woman, and that’s that – I haven’t questioned it.
‘But then I started asking questions and I realized that those ideas didn’t come from me, but from society telling me that something is beautiful.’
Esther recalled being constantly bullied for her body hair, even as a young child, and noted that she still received negative reactions to this day.
“There was a moment in primary school when my friends had noticed the hair on my stomach and I remember their overreaction, which made me feel very insecure,” she said.

“When I was in high school, I remember seeing so many girls who were teased or teased because they had hairy arms or body hair, so that made me feel shy and insecure.
“I made sure no one could see my body hair.”
The 27-year-old revealed she was often branded cruel names.
“There are typical things like ‘monkey,’ ‘Chewbacca,’ and ‘monkey.’
‘Another time someone filmed me as a joke. And other times people just stare at me really badly.”
Despite this, she decided to embrace every hair on her body and flaunt it with confidence, while vowing never to shave again.
“I think we’re taught in society that body hair, especially on women, is unsanitary, unsightly and unwanted,” she said.
‘I wondered growing up: why did I hate my body hair?

Esther explained that letting go of all societal refrains filled her with joy
‘I had to realize that it was society – like I hated my body hair, but I also hated removing it because it was so painful. But now I feel free.’
Esther explained that letting go of all societal refrains filled her with joy.
She added: ‘I’m much happier today, I can analyze certain things in my life and what’s good for me and what’s not, so no, I’ll never go back to the way I was – ever. When we embrace ourselves, we are much stronger.
‘It is important to have more confidence in ourselves, to build that confidence so that we are not guided by false ideas and harmful ideas – also for our health and our mental health.’
