Can we use veet in pregnancy?

Question

I usually use veet for hair removal but now im pregnant and wondering if the chemicals are safe. Parlour wax feels like too much effort right now. Anyone used it during these months?

I recently delivered and used hair removal creams a few times during pregnancy with no issues, just make sure to do a patch test.

Don't worry, you can use it, but try to do a small patch test on your skin first. Your skin is more sensitive now, so be gentle.

Personally, I avoided Veet because the chemical smell was triggering my nausea. I preferred shaving or normal waxing.

I felt so conscious about my body changes and used Veet once, but it caused a mild rash because my skin was so sensitive.

Madhuri Shroff · Answer

My doctor said hair removal creams are generally fine, but skin becomes highly sensitive due to hormones, so do a patch test first.

My mother told me to avoid chemicals, but my doctor said a patch test is fine. I used it carefully on my legs.
