Influencer Bella Davis is known for flaunting her body hair online.
However, the body acceptance star, from Australia, was forced to hit back at claims it's 'not hygienic' this week after trolls targeted her posts.
Bella is known for flaunting fuzz on her bikini line, armpits, toes and stomach as she tries to show her 258,000 Instagram followers that 'it's normal to have hair there'.

However, it seems some people don't think it's 'clean' to have hair in such places.
Bella shared a number of negative comments she'd received about her body hair posts.
These included: "It's dirty," as well as "Not very hygienic."
Another person wrote: "It's not empowering to not take care of your hygiene."
While another added: "That's not clean!"
Answering the haters, Bella wrote: "Body hair is normal, not wrong. Natural, not disgusting. Human, not shameful. Hygienic not dirty.
"I’m tired of being told to shave away my shame. Sick of hearing how dirty my body hair is. Over being told body hair on women is unfeminine and unattractive."
She added: "I don’t want young people growing up thinking there is something wrong with their bodies. Assuming they are flawed and imperfect for having body hair when it is a part of being human.
"So let this be a reminder that body hair is natural.
"Removing your body hair is a choice, not a necessity. Sometimes I choose to remove mine, and sometimes I don’t. If I remove my body hair I’m often left with razor bumps and they aren’t shameful as well.
"If removing your body’s hair makes you feel good, then great keep doing it but let’s not shame those who choose to embrace theirs.
"After all, body hair is normal. I hope this helps you to remove the stigma you may feel around body hair and by sharing this I truly hope it helps those who need it feel safe to exist in their natural bodies without shame or embarrassment."
Fans were quick to support Bella over the post, as one fan wrote: "Urgh the hygiene one annoys me every time."
While another agreed: "Pubic hair literally helps protect the body from pathogens/bacteria."
"I wish all girls didn’t have to go through this rubbish," added another.
While a fourth wrote: "Men commenting on women's hygiene when they have body hair only tells me that they don't have good hygiene."
Bella has admitted she's used to be targeted by trolls though, as she previously told Daily Star back in April that she's slammed by haters daily for stripping off and flaunting her curves.
She claims that the trolls are just 'insecure', though.
