Questions & Answers

Can I get a bikini wax when I知 pregnant?

Yes, but it might hurt even more than usual. For some women, hair growth increases during pregnancy. Many women also have more sensitive skin while pregnant. That can be a painful combination along the bikini line. Test the wax on a small area of skin first to make sure it isn't too painful.

In the last months of pregnancy, doing a bikini wax at home may become difficult. Those areas may be hard to see, let alone reach. If you really want a bikini wax at this point, you may want to visit the salon.
