Shaving While Pregnant!
During the later stages of pregnancy it is increasingly difficult to do the simplest of tasks!
I tend to show early on in each of my pregnancies and by the final few weeks, I find even looking at my feet a strenuous mission. As a result of a ridiculous amount of swelling and excess fluid, this is particularly true at the moment with the increasing size of my feet and ankles.
Pregnancy Struggles
I know most pregnant women struggle with simple things like picking up dropped items off the floor, getting up from sitting, laying, squatting and basically any other position other than standing. Don’t even get me started on the difficulty of shaving!
As a result of my baby belly being so rotund, I have been shaving by feel for good few months now and it is becoming progressively more difficult to balance my leg and weight on the corner part of the shower wall.
ShavEzy Review
As luck would have it; I received an opportunity to try a great new product designed specifically for pregnant women and those who find it hard or awkward to shave their legs. The ShavEzy is a foldable step stool that can used in the shower to assist shaving.

I am having this baby via C-section and I think that because of the way this shower stool is designed; it will be a great tool for not only during pregnancy but after my baby is born as well.
Pregnant women want to feel feminine, sexy and somewhat like their former self. Being able to shave and have smooth legs without the inconvenience of not being able to reach is exactly what we dream of!

Great idea … when I was pregnant I used to get the hubster to shave my legs for me with his electric shaver. Now that’s love!!!
Having a bath. I love nothing more than a long soak with a good book but I just could not get comfortable. And at the end it was just too hard to get in and out without working up a sweat so bad I would need a shower after the bath.
The thing I had trouble with most during pregnancy was sleeping.They would use my rest time as time for them to jump around and do karate moves
what an awesome idea, nothing worse than trying to shave while feeling like a beached whale! fantastic
Shaving my wife’s legs and umm other bits for her because she was paranoid about being hairy and feral ‘should she’ go into labour. AND those 3am trips to various locations, some very far away, to soothe her cravings. It was good, but at times difficult and testing.
Sleeping, especially towards the end of each pregnancy. I couldn’t roll over, I couldn’t get comfortable, and if I did finally get comfortable, I’d get really hot and it was difficult because I love my sleep
Labour!
All mum said was that it would be easy! Ha! I found everything difficult, but I remember not being able to drive as I am really short and my belly was too big so I couldn’t reach the peddles. I didn’t even bother shaving. Oops. If only I knew about this product!
Sleeping and getting out of the bed, very difficult with a huge belly!
This is a brilliant shaving stool it is so hard to shave your legs when pregnant looks very stable as well
I find it hard to handle the heat I’m so cranky all the time. This is perfect I’m 26 weeks and already can’t get to my legs hard enough as it is being 6 feet tall and half of me is legs lol
i found breathing challenging. Walking too, well… any kind of movement was just all different levels of pain and discomfort!
Great idea! Must have been designed by a woman!
This looks awesome, I would use this definitely, but would give it to my daughter who is currently pregnant.
The pain! Because of a medical condition I was hospitalised five times and had to take pethidine, before my daughter was born early at 26 weeks.
Bending over was a bit of a dilemma, standing up wasn’t much better, sleep became uncomfortable, by the end I was really over it all! 🙂
Love it!
shaving for sure but also trimming my toe nails too
Bending over – bought a hand claw – saved a lot of problems
Trying to drive in my TINY car. Had the seat all the way back and still had trouble…was a good excuse to be chauffeured in style for a while!
Walking, my feet swelled like pillows (Pre-eclampsia) I couldn’t get any of my shoes on and it really hurt to put more pressure on them, i had to wear thongs for around 6 months
The ShavEzy would come in so handy with my bad back.
Getting out of bed and walking, l have a scoliosis in my lower back that seemed to worsen through my pregnancy making it hard to even get into my little cupboard like shower. My back curved leaving my spine all pushed towards one side. Very hard to walk like that.
I am suffering from lightning crotch, my baby is pressing on nerves which is sending sharp pains in my pelvis and groin area.
In addition to that I have been graced with painful varicose veins but the thing I struggle the most with in this pregnancy is the fear of having another scary emergency csection birth.
