The Hairy Truth: How IttyBittyCherry Made Me Rethink My Legs, My Skirt, and My Story

By Lila Monroe

Just the other day, I stood in front of my closet weighing a decision that had little to do with fashion and everything to do with body hair.

Pants or skirt?

Which, if we’re being honest, was really: Do I shave or not? And do I feel like caring about it today?

I was still debating that emotional calculus—legs smooth or defiant—when I found myself scrolling Instagram on the toilet (as one does), and there she was. Like some goddess of perfectly timed serendipity: @ittybittycherry.

The caption?

“Body hair is beautiful.”

I paused. Then I looked down at my own legs. And in that moment of synergy—me, mid-scroll, mid-shave-debate, mid-life—Cherry’s message landed like a warm exhale: maybe I didn’t need to care so much.

Introducing IttyBittyCherry

With over 93,000 followers, Cherry isn’t your average influencer. She’s not about polish or posing. She’s about presence. About showing up in her full, unfiltered, glorious self—with leg hair, underarm hair, and a softness that dares to say, “This is enough.”

Her Instagram feed is a tapestry of raw confidence and real-life moments. She’s not screaming for attention—she’s quietly reclaiming space.

No razors. No apologies.

A Reflection in the Mirror (And in My Closet)

Her message wasn’t loud. It didn’t have to be. Because it landed like a truth I already knew—but hadn’t let myself live.

I can’t count the number of hours I’ve spent shaving, waxing, trimming, plucking—sometimes out of desire, sure, but mostly out of habit. Conditioning. That internalized whisper that smooth = feminine, and anything else = lazy, unkempt, unworthy.

It’s wild how a stranger on Instagram can hold a mirror up to you better than your own.

That morning, I put the skirt on. Hair and all.

Hair, Power, and the Creator Economy

Cherry doesn’t just normalize body hair—she celebrates it. In a world where creators are building empires off curated content, Cherry builds hers with candor. There’s power in that. Especially in the OnlyFans community, where creators navigate beauty standards while fiercely holding onto autonomy.

I’ve interviewed dozens of creators since joining Only Fans Insider Magazine, and what continues to blow me away isn’t the content—it’s the confidence. The way creators like Cherry redefine what “sexy” means simply by showing up authentically.

And let’s be real—this isn’t just about hair. It’s about permission. About choosing what feels good and letting that be enough.

Hairy Isn’t a Rebellion—It’s a Reset

One of the biggest myths we’re sold is that going “natural” is a political statement. But what if it’s just... natural?

Cherry isn’t waging war on razors. She’s simply choosing what works for her—and giving the rest of us permission to explore that choice, too.

Her linktree (yes, go click it) isn’t a manifesto—it’s a mosaic of body love, softness, and empowerment. And as I scrolled, I felt something quiet but seismic shift in me: the realization that my body wasn’t something to manage. It was something to live in.

What I Learned From Cherry (and From My Legs)

I didn’t think body hair would become a spiritual reckoning. But here we are.

Choosing the skirt that day felt like a small act of rebellion. But the real win wasn’t the skirt—it was the fact that I didn’t spend a second tugging at the hem to hide my knees. I just... existed. And smiled.

So thank you, Cherry. For showing up on my feed at just the right moment. For reminding me that beauty isn’t maintenance—it’s alignment. It’s permission. It’s showing up, hair and all.

A Note to My Fellow Women

If you’re reading this and nodding—maybe even on your own bathroom scroll—consider this your sign. You don’t have to shave for the outfit. You don’t have to explain your stubble. And you sure as hell don’t need permission.

But if you’re looking for it anyway—here it is.

See you out there, legs and all.
