How to Shave Your Legs When Pregnant Posted: 09-15-04 14:28pm
Just had this sent from a pregnancy
website,
is shaving really so difficult that
pregnant women need a step by step
guide?
Shaving your legs while very pregnant can
be hazardous to your health! Humorous but
practical, here's the how to for those who
dare...
Difficulty: hard
time required: 30+ minutes (30 mins to
shave legs why so long????)
here's how:
1. Make sure you really need to shave
your legs before even considering this
option. If it's winter maybe you can just
wear long pants!
2. If you do need to shave, consider a
mini-shave, say from the mid-calf down.
Also great for winter shaving
techniques!
3. Get something to shave with like a
shaving lotion or soap, something smooth
enough to shave with, but thick enough not
to run down your legs too quickly.
4. I prefer the "sit on the edge of the
tub" method. It saves your balance and
provides the best view of all areas.
5. I usually place a towel under my
rear, for padding and non-slip efforts.
6. Lather up and have a cup or bowl
handy for pouring water onto your legs.
7. Start shaving at the bottom. This
way if you get too tired, you can stop and
come back with as few people knowing as
possible.
8. Once you've done the calf of one
leg, do the other calf.
9. If you've made it this far you're
truly dedicated to getting this done, or
you must be in labor! Select a thigh and
commence to shaving.
10. Shave the other thigh if you're
still hanging in there.
11. Let someone else clean up any water
or hair left in the tub! You deserve a
break!
Tips:
if at all possible enlist the help of
someone to shave your legs for you. Dads
work really well, or a dear girlfriend!
Avoid shaving in the shower, all joking
aside it is easier to slip even when
you're not pregnant.
Use a new razor to avoid nicks and cuts
from a dull blade. If it's been awhile
since you've shaved you may need two!
Consider using one of the wet/dry electric
razors to prevent cutting yourself and
allowing more freedom of location.
What you need:
shaving cream
towel
razor
water
drink - you ned a drink to shave your legs

I would still think you would shave your
legs being preggers....Hmmm I must have
been wrong. I guess it depends how big
you get...And how far along you are.
