We would like to use our pits to start an evolving conversation about feminism, identity, body positivity, judgment, acceptance and freedom of choice.” Collegiate Anna* says she would never dye let alone grow out her armpit hair, while collegiate Jane* would dye her armpits but she believes that it is a try hard type of trend.
