Waxing/period

2 replies

I have a wax appointment booked for Tuesday. My period has started earlier than expected. I was actually planning on starting Noresthisterone this evening to delay it for holiday.

Should I cancel my wax appointment? What’s the etiquette here? I don’t get everything off, just bikini line/tidy up up top. If i wore a tampon, would that be okay?

I’ve never had this issue before and I don’t want to offend the new waxing lady I’m going to!

It’s fine. Put a tampon in and let the therapist know. They’re not bothered - they see it all the time

Thank you. Should I message in advance, do you think?
