Don’t put it IN YOUR VAGINA god no. But you don’t have any hair there anyway! Veet can go anywhere outside though

I tried to shave but unusually it started feeling a bit rashy and over sensitive in patches and since I couldn’t see what was going on decided to stop. The best option is hot wax from the beautician, id do it before you get too big (40 weeks now and too late!)

@Triskaidekaphilia 😂😂🙂🙂 you make a very valid point !

Do not wax for the first time when very pregnant!! Pregnancy makes you more sensitive, and you really don't want an angry fanny. Even regular waders sometimes find that they need to stop for a while, because of added angriness. It's really not the time to start.

If you really cannot do it, then just don't do it at all. It's only a few weeks, there's no medical need (indeed a small downside in terms of micro abrasions being a route for infection, and episiotomy healing is (apparently) considerabley more comfortable if itchy regrow than is not happening at the same time (you really won't be depilating whilst undercarriage is still healing)

Honestly when my belly was too big to do it myself, my partner did it for me xx
