Its easy to do at home, and you can get chemical-free brands (I like Moom). Plus, it lasts longer than Nair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preg-safe-hair-removal#post-910939 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 11:24:30 +0000 Charm54 910939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Nair down there throughout my pregnancy...I asked the pharmacist and doctor and both said it was safe since it is topical. I'm like you, it smells so awful that I was wary, but I haven't had any problems. I used it sparingly and watched the time closely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preg-safe-hair-removal#post-910898 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 10:17:30 +0000 ladybee 910898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: @LazyLightning: I used Sally Hansen remover on my face recently. It said it was safe in their website. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preg-safe-hair-removal#post-910886 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 09:54:18 +0000 Foodnerd81 910886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: I waxed there last week. It hurt a good bit worse than usual! (plus it had been longer than usual in between, but still) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preg-safe-hair-removal#post-910856 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 09:26:18 +0000 LazyLightning 910856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: FYI, my Veet bottle doesn't say anything about avoiding while pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preg-safe-hair-removal#post-910852 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 09:24:44 +0000 LazyLightning 910852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I used it there too! Really made things cleaner for my recovery after the birth (I'm too much a wimp to wax...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preg-safe-hair-removal#post-910849 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 09:23:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 910849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LazyLightning: @Cherrybee: Hmm... i never even checked if Nair was safe-- it just smells so chemically that I assumed it was a no no. </p> <p>Also since baby is pretty much almost fully cooked by now, it probably wouldn't make a difference. I'll probably try to home wax strip things first though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preg-safe-hair-removal#post-910837 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 09:15:54 +0000 Cherrybee 910837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have used Veet hair removal cream during pregnancy. I think that's the same as Nair, isn't it? I used it on my lady bits so it was right by the babba, too! The Veet website said it was safe to use during pregnancy.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preg-safe-hair-removal#post-910820 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 08:53:33 +0000 LazyLightning 910820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used nair in the third tri. Hmmm. Waxing is a good alternative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preg-safe-hair-removal#post-910817 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 08:49:04 +0000 Dandelion 910817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tweezed it out during pregnancy.</p> <p>You could get an epilady, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preg-safe-hair-removal#post-910812 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 08:44:21 +0000 Pepper 910812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wax that kind of hair. I used those Veet wax strips a long time ago, and from what I remember, they work. They sell them at drugstores, and wax is definitely pregnancy safe (though it could irritate your skin more, depending on how sensitive it is to wax normally). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preg-safe-hair-removal#post-910808 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 08:40:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 910808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of embarrassing, but I have this little patch of fine hair the grows on my neck, under my chin. In the past, I took care of it by using Nair every couple of months, not problem. I'm not at all comfortable using Nair while I'm pregnant, so it's sort of been growing for the last 8 months and is really bothering me (not to mention that DH brought it up, which is another story). I definitely don't want to shave, because ew, stubble on my neck?? Any recommendations for something that would remove fine facial type hair without an expensive visit to a salon or harsh chemicals? At home waxing strips? Some other 'as seen on TV' product? </p>
