Don't use depilators cus they haven't co firmed if its safe or not during pregnancy.in the book what to expect when your expecting its safe to pluck so it should be ok to epilate.you should try it I love it!it pulls hair from the root like waxing.but it doesn't get your skin only your hairs.it might hurt the first few times when you use it but it didn't for me.the hairs don't grow back untill 6-8 weeks and I use it for my legs and arms and underarms its awsome I can't live without it!

Depilating is safe thus far. The chemicals do not reach your blood stream for the amount of time (10 min or less) that the product sits on your skin.

I use nair for sensitive skin. It still irritates my skin, mostly for the time its on there, but the results last longer than shaving, so I keep doing it. I do my legs, thighs, belly, panty line and the pubic area above the lips. Too scared to go any lower. I use a sock turned inside out to scrub it off, helps scratch my itches too. I do this in the tub.
