Hair removal creams while pregnant

Has anyone else struggled to remove hair on your privates while pregnant, I normally shave but it's become impossible given my obstructive growing belly, so recently decided to use Nairs hair removal cream which worked a treat, but later wondered if it's actually safe to use while pregnant, anyone else used this, what was your experience of it, any negative side effects?

Following this, as I've been wondering the same

I have and thought nothing of it but my usual ‘sensitive’ Nair stung me like buggery and caused a massive irritation so I’ve not touched it again.

I use Veet sensitive. Midwife said was fine, just to check your skin sensitivity first. Only used a couple of times but I'm now beginning to struggle to shave so will be going back to it.

Completely fine but wise to do a patch test for sensitivity, even if you used it successfully pre-pregnancy.
