Can we use veet cream during pregnancy?

Question

Im 5 months now and shaving is getting so hard with this belly, was thinking of using veet instead. But not sure if the chemicals in it are ok for baby. Anyone used hair removal cream during their pregnancy?

I used hair removal cream in both my pregnancies, mostly on legs. Just do a small patch test first because skin gets extra sensitive these months. If it burns or itches, stop right away.

I switched to a simple razor in pregnancy, cheaper and no smell tension. But if cream suits you then no harm, just test on a tiny patch first.

Yaar honestly most of us use it na, it stays on top of skin only. Actually waxing was too painful for me so cream was easier. Just keep the room airy, the smell can make nausea worse.

My skin reacted very badly in second trimester even to my regular cream, so pls be careful. Better to just ask your gynac once if you have sensitive skin or any allergy history.

Generally these creams arent absorbed deep so people use them, but everyone's skin is different in pregnancy. I'd say mention it to your doctor at next visit just to be safe, and avoid using on broken or irritated skin.

Patch test pehle kar lena, that's it. Otherwise its fine for most.
