Yep-probably a dumb question, but....

You never know what is dumb and not dumb to worry about anymore.

A friend called me last night asking if she could use Nair Hair removal while pregnant. I laughed and first and said "of course...why not?"

She then said "I don't know. You aren't supposed to use Retin-A or other acne medications like that and I don't know how those work, so I thought I better ask someone."

?I still said she was fine, but what do you think.?

    My instinct would say that she's fine as long as she doesn't eat it or something.

    Its one of those no-one-knows-for-sure-so-they-say-to-avoid.  But I continue to use it - I agree w/ pp about most facial/skin creams - if you don't eat it and you don't use it frequently, I can't imagine it would be a problem.  If she's worried, she can get waxed instead but it will likely be more ouchy.

    I have heard back and forth on this one. One reason it is a no-no, the chemicals. Your skin is hypersensative when you are pregnant. My doctor said no, but it all depends on what her doctor tells her.

    LOL--I just need to add again---- thinking back to that time in college I tried it and DH (boyfriend at the time) was like..oh that stuff can't be that bad!  So I put it on his chest hair and it burned the $hit outta him!!!  He got a rash/burn for days, not to mention the smell---he's like.,...why would anyone use this stuff if the hair just grows back?!?!  I know it doesnt get as stubbily but still.
