I’m Pregnant, Can I Get Sugared?

Jillian Crabtree • February 2, 2025

Here’s What You Need to Know

Congratulations on your pregnancy! If you’re wondering whether you can continue your sugaring routine during this exciting time, the answer is yes—you absolutely can. However, there are a few things to keep in mind to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

Why Sugaring Is Still a Great Option During Pregnancy

Sugaring is an all-natural hair removal method that uses a simple paste made from sugar, water, and lemon juice. Unlike waxing, which can adhere to live skin cells, sugaring only removes dead skin and hair, making it a gentler choice—especially when your skin might be extra sensitive due to pregnancy.

Sugaring is also chemical-free, making it ideal for those who are mindful of what goes on their bodies during pregnancy. Plus, the results leave your skin smooth without the soreness or raw feeling often associated with waxing.

Why You Might Feel More Sensitive

Due to hormonal changes, many pregnant women experience heightened skin sensitivity. Increased blood flow and hormonal fluctuations can make the sugaring process feel a bit more intense than usual.

Some women may also notice changes in hair growth patterns during pregnancy, including faster or thicker hair growth. While this might mean you want more frequent maintenance sessions, the gentleness of sugaring can make it a better option for managing these changes.

Tips for a Comfortable Sugaring Session While Pregnant

Choose an experienced sugaring technician: A professional with experience working with pregnant clients will know how to help you feel comfortable.
Communicate your needs: Let your technician know if you’re feeling particularly sensitive or need to adjust your position during the session.
Time your appointments wisely: Some women find that their pain threshold is lower during certain stages of pregnancy, particularly in the first and third trimesters. You might prefer to book appointments in the second trimester when you may feel more comfortable.
Stay hydrated: Drinking water before and after your session can help your skin handle the process better.

Common Areas for Sugaring During Pregnancy

Many expectant mothers continue sugaring their legs, underarms, and even bikini areas, especially as their due date approaches. Some choose sugaring to stay comfortable and clean for labor and delivery.

Final Thoughts

While it’s perfectly safe to get sugared during pregnancy, it’s essential to listen to your body and do what feels right for you. At Sugar Me, we’re here to help you maintain your self-care routine and keep your skin smooth, even during this beautiful and transformative time.

Why More Greenville Clients Are Choosing Sugaring Instead of Waxing

By Jillian Crabtree • January 5, 2026

If you’re searching for waxing in Greenville and keep hearing about sugaring, you’re not alone. Sugaring has become increasingly popular, especially for Brazilian hair removal and sensitive skin, and for good reason. I’m Jillian, the owner of Sugar Me in Greenville, SC. I’ve been sugaring for 15 years and opened my studio to offer a more natural, comfortable alternative to traditional waxing. If you’ve struggled with irritation, ingrown hairs, or painful experiences in the past, this may be exactly what your skin has been waiting for. What is sugaring? Sugaring is a method of hair removal using a simple paste made from sugar, water, and lemon. That’s it. No resins, no chemicals, and no artificial fragrance. Because the ingredients are so minimal, sugaring is safe for even the most sensitive skin. Unlike waxing, sugaring removes hair in the natural direction of growth. This is a huge difference and one of the main reasons clients see less breakage, fewer ingrown hairs, and smoother results over time. Sugaring vs waxing: what’s the difference? Traditional waxing adheres to live skin cells and pulls hair against the direction it grows. This can lead to more discomfort, redness, and irritation, especially for Brazilian services. Sugaring only sticks to dead skin cells and hair. Because it’s removed in the natural direction of growth, it’s gentler on the skin and helps reduce inflammation and post service sensitivity. Many clients who thought hair removal just had to be painful are surprised by how much more comfortable sugaring feels. Why sugaring is ideal for Brazilian hair removal. Brazilian sugaring is one of my most requested services at Sugar Me. Clients love that it’s more tolerable, especially with regular maintenance. Over time, hair often grows back finer and slower, and the skin becomes healthier with consistent sugaring. If you’ve experienced chronic ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or sensitivity from waxing or shaving, sugaring can be a game changer. Is sugaring right for you? Sugaring is great for: • sensitive skin • clients prone to ingrowns • Brazilian and facial hair removal • anyone looking for an all natural alternative to waxing If you’re new to sugaring, we always take time to educate you on the process, aftercare, and maintenance so you know exactly what to expect.
