Did you know that hormonal fluctuations throughout your menstrual cycle can affect your pain tolerance and skin sensitivity? To ensure your waxing session is as comfortable as possible, we have put together a few tips. Because at The Wax Bar, we understand that the phases of your menstrual cycle play an important role in your waxing experience. But let's get one thing straight: it is definitely possible to wax during your period!

The least suitable time for waxing during your period

During the days right before and throughout your period, your skin is often more sensitive due to hormonal changes. This increased sensitivity can make waxing feel more painful than usual. That is why we recommend scheduling your wax appointment up to 3 days before your period starts or 5 days after it finishes. During this time frame, the skin is generally less sensitive and your pain threshold generally higher, which contributes to a more pleasant waxing experience.

Menstruation cycle and waxing: What is the best time?

The absolute best time to wax? In general, that is about halfway through the menstrual cycle, around ovulation (usually between days 10 and 14). At this point, hormones are more balanced out. Many women therefore experience less sensitivity during this stage, which can make the waxing more comfortable.

Consistency is key for waxing

No matter which phase of your menstrual cycle you choose to wax in, maintaining a consistent schedule is key to achieving optimal results. Regular waxing, such as every 4 to 6 weeks, ensures that your hair growth cycle becomes more synchronized. This leads to softer, finer regrowth, which allows you to enjoy smooth skin for longer.

Find your own ideal waxing timing

Ultimately, it is important to listen to your body and figure out what timing works best for you. Everyone experiences their menstrual cycle differently. Pay attention to when you feel most comfortable during waxing and schedule your appointments accordingly to make the treatments as pleasant as possible.
