Hiya Claza,

As far as I am aware, hair removal creams should not be used. But waxing is still safe! x x

Yes they do say to stay away from hair removal creams but i think its more to do with your skin being extra sensitive during pregnancy and risking a reaction.

oh dear, I have used it twice on my bikini line during pregnancy... didn't have any reactions to it but guess it's quite a toxic thing considering what it does!
(I used Nair I think...)

Thought waxing would be worse than hair removal creams.

well i have developed some hairs on my tummy from tummy button to navel and to put it bluntly, i didnt care for them as they were not present before last week so i used a couple of mini Veet wax strips (sensitive) and removed them all yesterday... i now feel like a woman again!

I never heard of this 'no no' before, I'm like Julie Wallace, iused veet with 1st pregnancy and have done with this 2nd one, did make me a bit itchy but didn't last long, wanted to give birth looking nice and 'neat'.
