Bit personal: Is it safe to use hair removal cream "down there"?

KamKol · Feb 1st, 2010, 09:21 AM

Sorry if this is TMI.

So far I've been shaving with razor blades, but it's getting harder every single time! I'm guessing I'll have to stop soon before I injure myself! DH doesn't trust himself enough with the blade to try and shave for me. He'd rather use his trimmer!

I can't even imagine waxing...it was way too painful when I wasn't pregnant let alone now.

I was wondering if it's safe to use hair removal cream to remove the hair during pregnancy...especially late pregnancy? It'll be easier for me and even DH can't go wrong with it if he wants to help me.

I've done it before when I was NOT pregnant, and it did no harm to me. I know some people are more sensitive. I was just wondering if it could cause any harm to the baby if I do it while pregnant.

I use veet hair removing spray. Its brilliant you spray it on, leave for up to 10 minutes then you just get the shower head and wash it all off. Quick and easy...lol. Ive used it alot and never had any adverse reactions

i'm sure it says on hair removal creams not to use when pregnant

is it worth the risk of a reaction? pregnancy has lots of efects on women skin changes etc.
