At Depil Brazil we're all about intimate care. Your Brazilians are intimate. Your bikini waxes are intimate. So of course we're here to talk about the most intimate subject -- your period. People tend to get shy and uncomfortable when it comes to getting waxed during that "time of the month". But there's no reason to cancel your appointment. The truth is, your monthly visit from "Aunt Flo" doesn't have to interrupt your wax visits. We've gotten questions from our curious clients about the "dos and don'ts" of waxing "down there" while on your cycle, so we're answering some FAQs about everything waxing and period-related. So that you know, from here on out, that you’re good to go when it comes to booking a wax - any time of the month.
Can I get a Brazilian wax on my period?
YES! Yes! Yes! You can absolutely get your Brazilian or bikini wax while on your period. As long as you are wearing a fresh menstrual cup or tampon with the string tucked in before your appointment. If you get a surprise visit from your monthly friend prior to your visit, or you find yourself without a fresh tampon to change into, please let your Wax Pro or our front desk staff know, and you will be given a new, unwrapped tampon.
Will getting my wax during my period change my experience?
There is no change in your experience. You can expect the same 5-star worthy wax session that you normally receive from Depil Brazil. Every Wax Pro is thoroughly trained and experienced. As expected, Bikini and Brazilian Waxes are our most popular services. We perform hundreds of body wax services each month. So don’t worry, we are completely comfortable with waxing you during menstruation! Keep in mind, your body may be more sensitive during your period, but the wax is still totally manageable.
Should I wait until I have a lighter flow to get my wax?
This is totally up to your comfort level. We are happy to wax you any day of the week, at any time of the month. Some clients prefer to use the restroom right before their appointment and change their tampons. Our restroom is also equipped with personal toiletries for your personal use.
Should I shower before my appointment?
Whether you are waxing on your period, or any other day, you want to thoroughly clean and exfoliate the intended wax area to remove any dirt, oil, sweat, or build-up before your appointment. Failure to do so can impact your wax results, as the wax may not properly adhere to the hair. We recommend showering at least 24 hours before getting your wax. After your wax, be sure to care for your intimate area with our Sao Conrado Intimate Wash, and our Ipanema Ingrown Hair Serum to maintain your gorgeous, smooth skin.
How do I tell my Wax Pro that I’m on my period?
Clients’ comfort is our top priority. If you want to let your Wax Pro know, you definitely can, but it’s completely up to you.
Can I use a pad instead of a tampon?
While you're absolutely fine to get a wax while on your period, you're better off using a tampon or menstrual cup instead. Since your intimate wax requires you to remove your pants and underwear a pad won't provide you the proper protection. You'll also want to make sure you change your tampon or clean out your cup right before your wax to minimise the risk or worry of period leaks during your wax appointment.
Will my Wax Pro be cool about me being on my period?
ABSOLUTELY. Waxing is what we do, care and comfort are what we provide. Our Wax Pros are thoroughly trained and professional. Since opening, we’ve performed thousands of Brazilians – so it’s safe to say you are in good hands.
Mother nature is on her own schedule. But that doesn't mean you have to cancel your plans or let your period interrupt your life. The Wax Pros at Depil Brazil have seen it all, and we're trained and knowledgeable about your period waxing questions, so feel free to ask. We are here for any and all of your waxing needs! You can book your next, or first wax visit here and be stress-free and hair-free, any time of the month!
For being a first-time customer of this place and for the services I received, this was the best experience. The front desk was very friendly and informative and my waxer was not only friendly and professional, but she was very welcoming. I will be returning here for this team!
Amazing staff! Very friendly! Fair prices.
First Brazilian- was super nervous for so many reasons. But the waxer was fast and eased my anxiety. I will be back! So happy with my results!
