Is Waxing More Taxing?

by kate baggott on June 27th, 2006

It has often been said that the mix of hormones and extra moisture in the skin makes waxing more painful during pregnancy. Strangely enough, there isn’t a body of medical research into this fashionable topic.

Has anyone noticed that waxing still seems more painful while you’re nursing or is it just my pain wimp side emerging?

Well, I don’t know if hormones made waxing hurt more in pregnancy, because I didn’t start waxing til I was pregnant. And that’s b/c the hormones DID cause facial hair growth when I was pregnant. Oh, the joys. :)

Kerri, you poor, poor woman. My face is tingling in sympathy.

I got a wax the day before my wedding and it hurt so much I almost couldn’t finish. I mean HURT. Later I learned I was probably already a few days pregnant at that point. I’e always assumed that was why it was so painful.

I can’t say I got waxed after that while I was pregnant! Au contraire, I was totally au naturel!!

Jill,

I had my upper lip done in the sixth week and the skin was red for three weeks afterward.

Au naturel est formidable.
