This episode gets right into the messy, honest truth about body hair. Why some women shave everything daily, why others have stopped caring, and how culture quietly taught us that hairless equals clean, attractive and “normal.” Roula shares the rituals she grew up with, the pressure to be hairless, and why she feels uncomfortable even going two days without shaving. Rosie talks about sensitive skin, convenience, and why shaving every day would absolutely ruin her life.
We dig into the cultural, generational and emotional layers behind shaving, the double standards between men and women, the link between body hair and “hygiene,” and why so many women are suddenly choosing not to shave at all. There’s humour, a few uncomfortable truths, and plenty of moments that make you realise just how conditioned we all are.
What’s your honest take on body hair: do you care, or are you over it?
