In a recent video, Michelli answered questions from her followers and revealed two things they weren’t expecting. First: she doesn’t shave her armpits, and she doesn’t understand why she should. Her question was direct, almost rhetorical, as if the answer were obvious to her.
The second goes further. On the days of heaviest menstrual flow, she prefers not to leave the house and lets the bleeding run down her legs without using disposable pads. She says the experience makes her feel “super alive”. When she does need to go out, she turns to specific fabrics and recommends menstrual cups or reusable underwear as alternatives.
Her final argument is aimed directly at the industry: she wants fewer people to depend financially on disposable products. A personal decision that, told this way, without filters, makes anyone think about how much of what we use every day is habit and how much is a real necessity.
