35 weeks & Nair question

[pinkk1111]

Is it safe to use nair now? Or shud i not because of the strong smell. I used to use it on ny bikini area and legs but i havent used it since i got pregnant.

That's like saying shaving cream will get into your blood stream its a chemical also, its fine to use just open a window or door & some women don't care to be all hairy but personally that's gross and no hair = more clean & less stink.

ps -- If you go with miss lucky's advice, at least call the 800 number for the product and ask if it is safe during pregnancy.  I'll bet most of those products aren't willing to offer guarantees for pregnant women.

I once asked my ob-gyn (figuring he would be the one to know) roughly what percentage of his patients get rid of their hair on their lady parts.  He said about half, but especially, sounded so colossally disinterested in the whole topic, it was obvious that ob-gyns REALLY don't give a damn what women do with their hair.  lol

Or if the smell gets to you, try a product that has no smell :)

[miss_lucky]

I don't see why not. .if you're in a well ventilated area.. You see people who work in that industry with those products and they're pregnant :)

Lol...true. im so used to shaving or waxing everything. I hate hair down there. But since ive been on bedrest the entire pregnancy brazilian wax has not been on my agenda so i was shaving. Now ita harder to shave and i feel i cant get everythng anymore. I know i told my husband the same thing how its embarrassing but im sure doctors are soooo used to seeing them at its worse down there. Lmao. :)

I wouldn't.  It's not just the smell, it is a chemical and could somehow cross into your bloodstream and you don't need that.  If you're adamant about not having leg hair, just shave.  Don't bother with the bikini area, you aren't going to be starring in a film, the doctor has seen everything and doesn't care.
