Version 0 of 1.

Xiao Meili is a well known women's rights activist in China.

She launched an "Armpit Hair Competition" on China's popular micro-blog service Weibo to get women to take ownership of their bodies.

The competition attracted thousands of comments from Chinese women.

@jen_vorhaut in Washington DC, US, chooses not to shave her armpits.

@MARKDIDDY from Nigeria and @Jenn_Abrams from the US share their reasons for preferring armpits to remain hairless.

But not all readers agree that shaving armpits is the best way forward. @bijubelinky in London, UK, thinks it is down to the individual to choose.

@YHHSulami from Manhattan, Kansas, US, thinks that shaving armpits is a way to keep clean.

@ennisorca is from Australia and says that shaving, or choosing not to shave, is a seasonal choice.

And finally, @WomenAlso_ from the UK raises the point that shaving armpit hair has nothing to do with hygiene.
