I had loads and loads of stitches 13 weeks ago. I'm definitely not thinking Brazilian, but ahem, desperate jungle times downstairs! How long do you have to wait for a wax?

I wouldn't get an areas that were stitched waxed yet, but you should be able to get a good tidy up without going there!?

No, just wax the bikini line instead of the whole lot. You surely didn't have stitched all the way out to your bikini line? (the mind boggles Hmm)

I had a c-section 6 weeks ago and am getting waxed this weekend. Not the whole lot, just a tidy up as I look and feel horrible and thought it would help me feel more like my pre-pregnancy self. Figure there is no harm in it, right?

Go for it honeybee, I've just been, and am jungle free Smile. Didn't manage a brazilian, in fact the thought of ANYTHING over my stitches makes me want to puke, but feel so much better about myself, if a little colder down there now now there's less of a blanket Blush
