‘I am not ashamed of having hairy legs – women are like this, hairy and we choose to shave or not if we don’t want to.
‘It has nothing to do with feminism or trying to make a point – I just didn’t want to.
‘I am tired of having to shave because I’m obliged to by society, and I won’t do so until I feel like it.
‘Since stopping in November I haven’t shaved to this day and I don’t know when I will.’
Ana said she was surprised to see a lot of people reacted to her video, which racked up more than 9,000 shares to date.
She said while she is single, it has nothing to do with her body hair.
Other trolls called her ‘horrible and disgusting’ while one said ‘if you don’t want to have sex, just say it’.
Among the hate Ana did receive some positive comments from women who wanted to thank her for making hairy legs less of a taboo.
She added: ‘I am single right now, but I have never had a problem with my ex-boyfriends – no man has ever made me shave my legs because they thought I was dirty or gross.
‘The worst comment I’ve received was from someone who told me I suffered from depression and I had low self-esteem because I stopped shaving.
‘I can’t believe I was diagnosed by a random person on the internet – it’s unbelievable.
‘I told him I suppose it would be the same for him and his beard.
‘I have to say there were a lot of people who messaged me to say ‘thank you’ or just to support me and that’s what I am going to keep from all this.’
