Periods are personal, and so is bikini waxing. We often get asked about how the two might affect each other, so here's a straightforward guide to help you out.
Waxing and Your Period: FAQs
Can I get a Brazilian wax while on my period?
Absolutely! You can still get a Brazilian wax during your period. Just be sure to use a tampon or menstrual cup, and if you’re using a tampon, make sure to tuck in the string.
Should I get a wax while on my period? Will it feel different?
Yes, the experience may feel slightly different. Your body tends to be more sensitive during your period, so waxing might be a bit more uncomfortable than usual—but it's still manageable.
When in my cycle is the best time to get a wax?
The best time to get waxed is whenever it fits into your schedule. Your comfort and convenience should come first, so choose a time that works best for you, regardless of your cycle.
Should I tell my waxing specialist that I’m on my period?
Your comfort is the priority. If you feel comfortable letting your specialist know, go ahead, but it’s entirely up to you.
