Bella shared a video on her @isabelladavis6 handle that featured her flaunting her curves and her body hair as she struck poses on a beach while wearing an orange bikini.
The inked stunner kicked things off by lifting her arms to flash her unshaven pits and bikini line. She then gave a close-up of her unshaved pins, with the words: "Not hairy like a man," splashed across the footage.
Next up, Bella gave another glimpse of her underarm hair before beaming at the lens, her full figure on show, captioning it: "Hairy like a HUMAN."
She capped off her post with a caption that read: "I haven't removed my body hair in months, and to be honest it has felt incredibly empowering and liberating.
"But today, at the beach, I had a moment of insecurity. I worried people might see my visible body hair and think I was dirty or unfeminine. However, I was able to quickly replace that insecurity with reassurance.
"I reminded myself that body hair isn't gendered or dirty. It's not unattractive, disgusting, or manly. It's simply a natural part of being human and allowing my body hair to be seen doesn't make me any less feminine, hygienic or worthy of wearing a swimsuit."
She added: "I hope that by sharing this it helps reduce some of the stigmas around body hair and it helps you to realise that whatever you do with your body hair is your decision and yours only."
Fans were quick to support Bella over the post, as one wrote: "Hairy like a human, love this statement as it's 1000% true." While another added: 'Hairy like a human is such a mic drop moment."
A third chimed in: "This is such a big thing for me I get the slightest bit of hair and reach for the shaver then end up with sore skin! It's like it's programmed into my brain that hair is a bad thing! Thank you for sharing this queen! As always love this and love you!"
The post comes after Bella admitted last year she's often trolled for flaunting her body hair. She shared a number of negative comments she'd received about it at the time, with these including: "It's dirty," and "Not very hygienic." Another person wrote: "It's not empowering to not take care of your hygiene."
In response to the critics, Bella penned: "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 further stated: "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."
