Wait at least six weeks after childbirth before considering intimate waxing, and always consult your clinician first to ensure you’re fully healed. Postpartum bodies need time to recover, and waxing too soon can cause discomfort or complications.
When to consider intimate waxing after childbirth
Wait until your clinician confirms you’re healed, typically after your six-week postpartum check-up. Healing times vary, so prioritise your body’s recovery over rushing into treatments.
Signs you’re ready for waxing
- No pain, swelling, or tenderness in the intimate area
- Absence of bleeding or discharge
- Clearance from your clinician
Preparing for your waxing appointment
If you’re cleared for waxing, follow these steps to ensure a comfortable experience:
- Exfoliate gently 24-48 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin
- Avoid lotions or oils on the day of your wax
- Wear loose, breathable clothing to prevent irritation post-treatment

When to seek medical advice
If you experience unusual pain, redness, or swelling after waxing, consult your clinician immediately. Postpartum bodies are more sensitive, so it’s essential to monitor any changes closely.
