Its a question we get asked often here at the salon.. “is brazilian waxing still ok during pregnancy?”

The answer- OF COURSE it is!

Most people find the idea of a brazilian wax a little daunting when you cant even see whats going on down there but rest assured, if your visiting a reputable salon, there is nothing to be concerned about.

The hormones that are racing around your body during pregnancy effect each person differently. Some find that their hair is growing quicker, while for others it slows down dramatically. Either way, keeping up with your regular waxing is the best way to go because if you leave it much longer than 6 weeks between appointments, the hairs will grow too long and they will most likely break instead of pulling out by the root (Not to mention the fact that its generally a bit more painful when left too long…).

We also hear different reports of some people becoming more sensitive as the weeks go by. There is no doubt that the increased blood flow to that area and the hormonal changes can make the skin more fragile, so extra care needs to be taken. But as far as pain goes, each person has a different experience.

Personally (I’m currently 31 weeks pregnant) I’m still doing my own waxing and finding little change in the pain levels, and the waxing seems to be lasting me a little longer than usual, which is a lovely little bonus. I dont know how much longer it will be possible for me to wax myself though… lucky there is a whole salon of experienced therapists here just incase i get stuck half way through! Don’t forget, if your going to wax, you need to loofah daily to prevent ingrown hairs! (while you can still reach that is…!)
