वायरल वीडियो: महिला ने छह सालों से नहीं की वैक्सिंग, बताया इसे “थकाने वाला काम”

सब कुछ ठीक है

एक महिला, जिसने पिछले छह सालों से वैक्सिंग या शेविंग नहीं की है, ने इस “थकाने वाले काम” को लेकर अपना अनुभव साझा किया और सोशल मीडिया पर वायरल हो गई।  “मैं सालों तक नियमित रूप से वैक्सिंग करती थी और यह काम बहुत थकाऊ लगता था, लेकिन एक महिला के तौर पर यह ज़रूरी भी लगता था — सुंदर, स्वच्छ और आकर्षक महसूस करने के लिए,” कहा जॉर्जिया पेक ने, जो एक होलिस्टिक हेल्थ कोच हैं, अपने वायरल TikTok वीडियो में।  इसके बाद पेक ने बताया कि उन्होंने यह फैसला क्यों लिया। “सच कहूं तो यह बहुत मेहनत का काम है, और वैक्सिंग के एक दिन बाद ही जो छोटे-छोटे बाल वापस उगते थे, वो बेहद असहज लगते थे।”  “यह एक और चीज़ बन गई थी जिसे मैं खुद में 'ठीक' करने की कोशिश कर रही थी — जबकि उसमें कोई कमी थी ही नहीं। आखिर क्यों पुरुषों का शरीर पर बाल होना सामान्य माना जाता है, लेकिन महिलाओं के लिए वही बात अस्वच्छ और अप्रिय मानी जाती है?” पेक ने सवाल उठाया।  इस वीडियो को अब तक 80 लाख से ज़्यादा बार देखा जा चुका है और बहुत से यूज़र्स ने कमेंट्स में पेक का समर्थन किया है। एक व्यक्ति ने लिखा, “काश ज़्यादा लोग ऐसा करते, तो यह और सामान्य हो जाता। शर्म पर आधारित फैसले हमेशा बुरे होते हैं।”  फोटो और वीडियो: TikTok @wildlygeorgia

00:00I haven't shaved my legs or my armpits in over six years and I used to shave on a very regular basis

00:06for years and it did feel like a chore but it also felt necessary to as a woman to feel beautiful

00:12and hygienic and attractive but over time I did wonder to myself why am I doing this and here

00:18are four reasons why I stopped shaving. First it's honestly such a hassle and the spikiness that

00:24would begin to grow back after just a day after shaving was quite uncomfortable and not to

00:29mention the ingrown hairs that would sometimes occur it became another thing on my list another

00:34thing I was trying to fix within myself that wasn't inherently broken. Second I started to question the

00:39double standard why is it considered totally normal for men to have body hair but for women it's

00:44considered unattractive and unhygienic. Hair in itself isn't inherently dirty and it's not shameful it

00:51actually plays an important function for our body otherwise why would we have it it helps balance

00:56our temperature it even holds pheromones and it's protective and yet as women we've been told

01:01to strip it away as if our natural body is something to change. Third the products most of us use to

01:07actually remove armpit and leg hair are completely full of hormone disrupting chemicals. Fragrants,

01:13parabens, phthalates, chemical coated blades we're using them on warm and open pores directly over lymph

01:21nodes and sensitive areas and over time you really have to wonder what is this constant exposure

01:26doing to our hormones, our skin barrier, our liver, our overall system. Fourth I wanted to feel at home

01:34in my body again just wild and natural and I didn't realize just how much how many aspects of my beauty

01:42routine were just trying to cover up parts of myself and allowing my hair to grow back again was one of

01:47pieces of the puzzle that allowed me to trust my natural rhythm again with a softness and a wild

01:53beauty that wasn't shaped by trends or pressures. The purpose of this video isn't to tell you to stop

01:59shaving if it feels good for you genuinely then continue but I would definitely opt for more stainless

02:05steel razor instead of a plastic one and for natural oils and creams instead of synthetic lotions

02:13or shaving cream but if it feels like a chore more of a shame based choice or a should then maybe

02:19it's time to ask why because true beauty doesn't come from erasing natural parts of ourselves it comes

02:26from our own confident choices that are good for us from authentic embodiment from being unapologetically
