To get a wax during that time of the month??

[smudgedlipstick]

Just that really, is it fine or a no go? (Brazilian wax by the way)

[sonlypuppyfat]

Why would you get a wax at anytime?

[EatSpamAmandaLamb]

Would it really be fair on the waxer? Also I read that type of thing is far more painful at that stage in your menstural cycle.

[WorraLiberty]

I think only the person doing it should be the decider of that.

Why not ring the salon and ask?

Is it really necessary though, or can you not wait a few days?

[WorraLiberty]

Because presumably she wants one sonly?

[sonlypuppyfat]

Really!

[WorraLiberty]

Yes

Stop being weird

[Pivoine]

"That" time of the month? Is it really so terrible to say "during my period"?

[WorraLiberty]

It's much better than the twee 'AF' has come to visit that so many MNetters seem to favour.

I always wonder why AnyFucker turned up on their doorstep.

[AprilTheGiraffe]

Eww no don't be gross.

And yeah, someone else's period blood is gross. Don't be inflicting it on a poor unsuspecting waxer.

[Pivoine]

Oh god, the dreaded Aunt Flo. Blimey, how far we haven't come.

[WorraLiberty]

My very old fashioned Irish Catholic mum used to call periods 'The other things'.

I literally never heard her say the word 'period' in all the years she was alive

[Bloopbleep]

I guess you could wear a tampon but i can just imagine it getting yanked out as wax was stuck to the string and the explosion of period clots going everywhere....

[AssassinatedBeauty]

Is this the opportunity to suggest a mooncup? Surely no matter how intimate they get to do the waxing, a mooncup would be safe from accidental involvement?

[Pivoine]

To answer the question, hmm, I've never actually had a wax and have always trimmed my own topiary, so am not sure if knickers on or off is the norm. If you keep your pants on and use a tampon then why not?

Unless your genitals are smeared in menstrual blood I can't see the problem.

[WorraLiberty]

I just can't imagine why the OP can't wait until her period is over?

I suppose a mooncup would at least be invisible

[Flipthebirdy]

I'm not au fait with the procedure but I guess if you're well...contained then it's okay, though not sure why you would want to.

[smudgedlipstick]

Mainly because I have already rescheduled the appointment once and don't want to mess her around, I personally don't see a problem with it, tampon in with the string tucked in she wouldn't even know if I didn't tell her, obv I will and didn't want her to be annoyed I had wasted an appointment if she said no.

[smudgedlipstick]

Bloop I have had this running through my mind for hours 😂 I think I will just cancel

[Pivoine]

No problem then. It's not like she'll be rooting around in there or anything!

[LilQueenie]

mooncups are fine unless you are doing yoga. One girls decided to flip inside out during her yoga session. I have read that there are wax places that allow a tampon to be used during waxing but only for some types of bikini waxing not all. Best to call ahead.

[WorraLiberty]

Phone her and tell her, so she can decide for herself.

For the reason Bloop mentioned, she might say it's a health and safety risk.

Presumably she'll be wearing gloves (do they?) but even so, she might not want to risk coming into contact with a stranger's blood.

[AllPizzasGreatAndSmall]

Eww no don't be gross.

And yeah, someone else's period blood is gross. Don't be inflicting it on a poor unsuspecting waxer.

Presumably the OP would be using a tampon and not freely bleeding everywhere.
Worra maybe she is going on holiday and wants it doing before she goes?

[HesitantHeart]

I've been waxed during my period plenty of times. I just tell the lady that I have a tampon in and I tuck the string up a little when I'm getting cleaned up before she comes in. There zero blood so it doesn't make a jot of difference and I've never been told not to come in whilst on my period.

Also she would be wearing gloves and they give you wipes for before hand.

[WorraLiberty]

Yeah good point Pizzas.

I still think the waxer should be given the choice to decide.

[smudgedlipstick]

Puppy, because I want to? Don't really need any other reason than that!

I think I will call and see what she says before
