Can You Get a Brazilian Wax on Your Period?

(A Licensed Esthetician Answers the Awkward Question)

Let’s just say it out loud, because whispering doesn’t make it less true: yes, you can get a Brazilian wax on your period. The world does not stop spinning, and neither do we.

At Bare Beauty Wax Studio, Jess and Em want you to know this is not shocking, unusual, or embarrassing. Bodies have cycles. Licensed estheticians are trained professionals. We promise—your period is not the most interesting thing we’ll see all day.

That said, there are a few things you should know before keeping your Brazilian appointment during that time of the month.

First: your skin may be more sensitive. Hormonal changes can make waxing feel more intense than usual, especially for Brazilians. If you’re already feeling crampy, bloated, or emotionally attached to your sweatpants, it’s okay to reschedule.

If you do come in on your period, a tampon or menstrual cup is required for hygiene reasons. Pads won’t work during a Brazilian (gravity and positioning have opinions).

Tips to make it easier:

• Avoid caffeine that day

• Take a mild pain reliever 30-60 minutes before your appointment

• Communicate with your licensed esthetician—comfort matters

There is zero judgment either way. Keep the appointment or move it—your comfort comes first. You may be subject to a late cancellation fee if it’s less than 24 hours notice.
