Okay I just want to say this photo made me so incredibly happy.
I’ve always been so self conscious about my armpits because even when I shave them they look like they have stubble. This photo is so raw, so real. I love her so much. So beautiful. Thank you @halsey 😭💛 pic.twitter.com/IW1oBknRiv

it’s subtle but I really appreciate the visible stubble on your armpits. A lot of women (me being one) are actually very insecure about their armpits. It’s ridiculous but we’re suffocated by the pressure of society telling us that every inch of us needs to be perfect. IT DOESN’T!

Random but it's so great and refreshing to see normal armpits. Thank you, beautiful! 💜

I loooove the fact that they didn't edit the armpits like most magazines would do. Women are not little babies who don't have body hair. Stunning cover 👌 https://t.co/POHNCnIK9W

Halsey previously hit back at a Twitter user who covered up her armpit hair in a photo she posted in April 2018. When the user tweeted the edited photo with the caption, "what the hell is this ?!!!" Halsey responded with, "It's an armpit you've put a sticker over. Not sure what else there is here to explain?"
