Shaving/hair removal cream
How long after getting stitches down there can you start shaving/using hair removal.. I’m 4 weeks pp, and I don’t think I feel stitches anymore and bleeding has significantly reduced to less than a normal period.

I think I shaved at 4 weeks pp, I just made sure it was a brand new razor & didn’t use anything scented! Looking back I think I would have waited until I had been for my 6 week check because I picked up an infection last week at 5 weeks pp and I’m now on antibiotics xxx
@Jade think I'm going to wait for 6 week check, but might ask midwife at discharge appointment tomorrow, thanks for your experience
I shaved at 2 weeks but mine were all internal stitches except for one external one so they were easy to avoid!
I lost my stitches already (only a small tear) but I have had a little clean up shave 3wks pp
