A model has shared a picture of her armpit hair in a bid to show others that fuzz is completely natural.
Fenella shared the body positive post on Instagram, where she revealed she’d be participating in Januhairy .
The movement encourages ladies to ditch their razors to “challenge social norms”.
Participants hope this will make others more accepting of their body hair.
In a candid Instagram post, Fenella admitted that she used to feel self conscious about her fuzz.
She remarked: “When I first grew out my body hair I felt ashamed.”
The Instagram star added: “I felt so ashamed I felt I had to apologise to the people around me if they saw it – ‘Sorry I know it’s disgusting but…’
“Women have been socially conditioned to believe their body hair is disgusting, dirty, unattractive and this is not OK.
“This month I’m joining the movement #januhairy by posting every day and encouraging conversation on body hair. Follow @januhairy for more.”
Fenella’s post has been very well received on Instagram.
It’s racked up 1,400 likes in a matter of days – and many have praised the model for her honesty.

One responder remarked: “You are stunning – and I’m really so proud of how brave and amazing you are.
“Natural is always best.”
Another said: “Body hair is normal and its existence has a reason.
“Don’t feel ashamed and keep enjoying life.”
And a third added: “Hair is just part of us. I’m more ashamed of society.”
The Januhairy campaign was first started by student Laura Jackson.
At the time, the 21-year-old Exeter University student said she came up with the idea after growing out her own hair for a performance.
The Warwickshire-based woman used the movement to raise money for charity.
She hoped to drum up £1,000 for charity Body Gossip’s education programme, which teaches young people about body image.
Those participating in the campaign are urged to share snaps to social media with the hashtag #Januhairy.
