My doc told me they are fine after the first trimester but to limit breathing fumes and to use in a ventilated area. same goes for hair color. Ask your doc if your unsure.

i dont know if hair removal creams are safe or not.. but im so hairy! my stomach is getting like black hair everywhere and i feel so nasty. i cant see my area either :( to shave, i squat in the shower and slowly feel where im shaving. i make sure its not a dull razor either cause that can cause pulling that you dont need! i just had a gyno appt on tuesday and it took me like a half hour to shave. after i do my best in the shower, i will sit on the end of my tub with a mirror seeing if there is anything serious i missed. and your ob has seen many hairy vaginas lol dont worry too much about it.
FYI im almost 23 weeks and already cant see my area. its gonna be a long, hairy next 17 weeks.
