Can You Wax on Your Period? (Yes — and Here’s What You Should Know)
(Because smooth waits for no one — not even your cycle.)
It’s that time of the month, and your wax appointment just happens to fall right in the middle of it. You’re probably wondering: “Can I still get waxed?”
The short answer? Yes, you absolutely can. But there are a few things you should know to make sure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
Let’s break it down, Smooth Criminals style.
💫 Yes, It’s Totally Safe
Getting waxed during your period is completely safe — your body doesn’t react any differently to wax, and there’s no risk to you or your aesthetician.
At Smooth Criminals Wax Co., our priority is your comfort and hygiene. As long as you’re wearing a fresh tampon or menstrual cup, you’re good to go. We’ve seen it all, waxed it all, and trust us — it’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
Your period doesn’t stop life, and it definitely doesn’t stop smooth.
⚡ But Here’s the Catch: You Might Be More Sensitive
During your period, your body’s hormone levels (specifically estrogen and progesterone) fluctuate, which can increase skin sensitivity.
That means you might feel a bit more discomfort than usual — especially if you’re booking a bikini or Brazilian wax.
If you’re worried, you can:
✅ Take an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment.
✅ Avoid caffeine that day (it can heighten sensitivity).
✅ Communicate with your aesthetician — we’ll adjust technique, temperature, and pace to keep you as comfortable as possible.
🧖 Our Hygiene Promise
At Smooth Criminals, we uphold the highest hygiene standards. Fresh gloves, clean treatment rooms, and sterilised tools — always.
If you’re waxing on your period, we simply ask that you:
Wear a fresh tampon or menstrual cup before your appointment.
Let your aesthetician know privately — no awkwardness, just professionalism.
Avoid using pads during waxing (for obvious reasons).
We’ll take care of the rest — discreetly, respectfully, and expertly.
💬 So… Should You Reschedule?
If you’re cramping badly or feeling low energy, it’s totally okay to reschedule — self-care comes first.
But if you’re feeling fine and ready to stay smooth, there’s no reason to skip your appointment.
In fact, many clients prefer to keep their regular schedule to maintain consistency in their waxing cycle — and that’s key to smoother, longer-lasting results.
