Wax on wax off

Just curious how ladies stay trimmed/neat during their pregnancies. I've never gotten a wax before, but I'm sure shaving will become difficult/near impossible the bigger I get. Is this a bad time to start waxing? Any tips??

I get sugared but it is very painful. I stay fairly smooth for a few weeks and get it done every 5 weeks or so.

I get a full Brazilian wax and love it! I go back every 5 to 6 weeks and it's not terribly painful. Everyone's pain tolerance is different though, I go with a friend who jumps and flinches throughout the whole wax but I get through it just fine. I definitely suggest giving it a try though earlier than later if you are up for it!!

I just got my Brazilian and leg wax yesterday. I can't live without them. I have zero pain tolerance, but I've always done well with waxing. It hurts most the first time because the hair is thicker, but if you keep it up every 4-6 weeks, it gets easier because the hair will be thinner. Your skin is extra sensitive while pregnant, so it's not going to be fun. Totally worth it though.

I've never done the legs but I think as I get bigger towards the end I might give it a shot it's gotta be better then bending over to shave

I just use it as an excuse to let things grow wild. No shame.

Even 38 weeks with twins I had no problems shaving. I did have to do some by feel, but I’ve been shaving long enough for it to not be a big deal.  For reference, when I sat down, my belly went all the way to my knees, so I was huge.

Heh, same. Although with my first I did get sugared towards the very end. Having no hair during delivery and post partum bleeding was a godsend

This. I try to keep up as long as I can and then IDGAF.

I really want to care about my chacha, but I kind of feel unmotivated. I do light trimming, especially right now while I can still find it. I agree with @cdepperschmidt, I think I'm evolving into IDGAF, too.

I just use an electric razor when it gets too crazy. Easy to do, and it is so much nicer to not have a jungle down there after delivery (first labor I had a jungle, second I did the electric razor).
