Can I Still Get Sugared If I’m on My Period?

One of the most common questions we get at Sugar Me is whether it’s okay to get sugared during your menstrual cycle—and we get it! When you're not feeling your best, the thought of a hair removal service might feel like a lot. But here's the good news: you can still keep your appointment and stay on track with your smooth skin goals.

Here’s What You Need to Know:

Your body goes through hormonal changes during your cycle, and this can make you more sensitive to pain than usual. While sugaring is already gentler than waxing—especially since it removes hair in the natural direction of growth—you may still notice the area feels a bit more tender during this time. If you’re concerned about discomfort, feel free to take an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment.

A Few Quick Guidelines:

• For any bikini or backside sugaring service while on your cycle, you’ll need to wear a tampon or menstrual cup to proceed with the appointment.
• We ask that you arrive freshly cleaned and that you use a fresh tampon or cup right before your service for your comfort and hygiene (and ours!).
• If you’re feeling particularly sensitive or simply not up for it, we totally understand—just give us a heads-up so we can reschedule.

Remember, we’ve seen it all and we want you to feel comfortable, cared for, and confident—whether it’s your first appointment or your fiftieth. Your cycle is a natural part of life, and it doesn’t have to get in the way of your self-care routine.
